Only in an open, nonjudgmental space can we acknowledge what we are feeling. Only in an open space where we’re not all caught up in our own version of reality can we see and hear and feel who others really are, which allows us to be with them and communicate with them properly.

- Examine the space where you reside (emotionally/ physically). Is it open, nonjudgmental space?
- If not, what can you do to create an open space which allows others to express more fully?
