Holding Space

I see you.
Let me share what arises.
Holding space, with hearts open.
I am not looking for flaws.
Just listening, paying attention
to the patterns, sensations,
directions and words offered
to me by your soul.

You've asked, now I seek.
A scan, a witnessing,
remaining as neutral - yet as 
loving - as possible.
Then I translate it, as best
as I can, to words.

Feelings, beliefs, wounds and
transformations find their
way to my voice, pouring
over you with reverence.

That wound of yours?
Yes, it may be holding you
back, blocking you from your
full expression, but its
intention was to protect - 
preserve - your gifts.
Your open, loving heart that
needed a shield, keeping you
safe from harshness and blame.
Your foggy claircognizance, 
once sharp and attentive,
giving you some distance 
from knowing too much.

I see and speak to the 
whole of it - of you - trusting
in your remembrance of
your wholeness, your holiness.
With gentle awareness,
I reflect back to you that
which you already know,
but may have tucked away 
for some kind of safety.

It is okay to allow for witnessing,
to see your reflection
and observe what may not be
so easy to see without a mirror.
We all need mirrors.
Clean ones, ideally.

My work is not to heal or
fix or make you anything 
that you are not.
My work is to see you 
so clearly and lovingly
that it makes it safe to be
seen and accepted
just as you are.

And by recognizing those
gifts and the textured shields
that have obscured them
for preservation, I trust
that you will dissolve 
whatever you no longer need.
That you will rekindle your
own trust in all that you 
already are.
That you will reconnect
with your truth, your power
and your joy.

My intention is to hold space
for you to remember your
inherent worthiness and 
align with who you have 
come here to be.
