"Holding space" for someone means being fully present and available to support them without judgment or expectations. It can involve:
Being empathetic: Listening actively and showing compassion
Being nonjudgmental: Not trying to fix the person or tell them what to do
Validating their emotions: Allowing them to express themselves without feeling inadequate
Letting them make their own choices: Stepping back and giving gentle guidance when needed
Being present during good and bad times: Being there for them through difficult times
Holding space can be an effective therapy method. It can also be a way to show up for others and build trust in relationships.
When we do this, it can be for both 'big' and 'small' issues. They key is not to differentiate difficulty in processig any issues, no matter the perceived scale, since we all have unique psychologies that may find us blocked at what was initially thought to be a speed bump, but turns out to be a much deeper rooted issue that could even require additional care, or revisiting.
Holding space may take an indeterminate amount of time, so it's best to check in regularly to affirm emotional states, perhaps step back for a period of levity, then revisiting with some revitalized mental energy.
We should try not to assume what we'll discover in those spaces, as they're intended to be wide open and free flowing, so guidance, but not restriction, direction, but not forced on the rails, are of supreme importance to maintain the safety and comfort.
Be present, be attentive, eliminate distractions, be intentional and love your person, no matter what they open up with.
Peace.
Earth angels are said to be special individuals who possess a unique energy and aura that radiates positivity and light. They are believed to have a mission to spread love, kindness, and compassion to those around them, and to help heal the world. But what is an Earth angel?

Earth angels are extremely perceptive, compassionate, and generous people. When helping others, they experience excitement and purpose. Although Earth angels aren’t literally divine beings, they have a lot in common with celestial angels in terms of their love for helping those in need, their capacity to see the best in others, and their inherent optimism.
I've been considering this concept since a few different people have described similar aspects of their own self, and highlighted where they were able to perceive it in others.
Some people have been feeling that they were called, or urged into following a course of action, which then led them to people that they want, and have the capability to, provide care for in times of great need.
We don't have to understand it all, but I believe we beings are patterns of energy and in that higher space where we really exist, patterns of similar frequency attract to one another and that same resonance passes down into our lives that we lead here, bringing us together over and over through many incarnations.
