Stop and See the Other

Neuroscience lets us know that it takes very little effort to feel a sense of deep connection. For example, you know that meeting people’s eyes effectively earns entrance into souls and touches hearts. Avoiding eye contact is notorious for escaping that feeling of connection and humanity. Taking the time, for as little as five minutes a day, to verbally interact beyond the transactional surface also bridges hearts and forges far deeper and more meaningful trust levels.

Your conscious choice to invest simple yet powerful minutes to hear from and share with another heals, transcends, expands, and roots new frequencies in The Field. Building this into one-to-one interactions is as important as the group interactions. Doing this with your child, your parent, and partner is as powerful as doing it with your colleague, client, and the mail person.

A world of connection is a world of embodied, present, and courageous human members.

Connection is effortful. You must trust your deeper self to reflect that depth with another. All it takes is five minutes, a willingness to slow down, and a commitment to see the other. Get to know one another. Every day.

Global challenges may unlock when more of us choose to disrupt the distance between self and other by giving a mere five minutes to see, feel, hear, and be with one another before getting on with the day's tasks or to-dos.
