It's a spiritual concept that isn't talked about very much. In a sense, you are allowing the universe to stand still as something is expressed, usually a powerful emotion or something that brings you to a dynamic healing that defies all logic. The idea has been used over a thousand years ago. So for instance, if a person was going through a rough time, an illness for example, you hold space for them that invites healing. it is an act of complete stillness. Knowing that all the powers of this Divine Universe can change anything, while keeping human thought and judgement out of it and allowing it to unfold in all its miracles. Best way I can explain it and yet it is something that has to be experienced. In a sense it is like setting aside all thoughts, stand in a nature surrounding and to simply listen. As if you are waiting for trees to speak, Which they don't in words. It's more a feeling of being connected to all life.
Tl;dr: it's a safe space. Basically, if someone is holding space for you - they are giving you space to freely express yourself with no judgment. It's basically this.
This is emotional and powerful scene in this film. When Glinda join her, it makes me happy 🥺
But did Glinda wipes the tears from elphaba’s cheek in this scene
Especially when everyone around her tells her not to and she does it anyways.
"It's okay" kills me every time 😢
I cried in this scene... Anyone who has ever felt invisible or bullied, would understand the emotion :(
thanks for this comment😢❤❤
I think what i love about this scene too is that SOMEONE finally comforts the person being bullied and makes them like they are a part of something.
This scene will be considered one of the greatest scenes in movie history!
The ballroom scene had waterfalls running down my face.😭😭😭
I’m telling you I teared up when Glinda started crying it was so impactful and emotional 🥹
I cried while watching this scene.. I watch this movie alone so people in my front row literally turned back to check on me
As a person were I usually don't cry in a crowded space but this scene made me tear up in the cinema.
This scene here made me cry. Because I can relate how Elphaba felt. Being laughed at. And bullied never feels good. 😢
I absolutely loved this part. I began to cry. Because this scene made me remember the times I was picked on. 😢
Not Ari using the holding space line here 😭😭😭😭
I was trying so hard not to burst into tears at the theatre infront of everyone
The most powerful scene in the movie!!
Guarderei questo film anche solo per questa sequenza ❤❤❤❤❤ ma è tutto un vero capolavoro 👏👏👏👏👏
What does holding space even mean tho
