Connection is really a simple thing to achieve.
At times, we say things that we think are supportive to another, with the best of intention.
YET what we say or do ends up separating us from who we are communicating with.
From the person or being that we wish to connect with.
It’s really an easy thing – connection.
To listen to someone and let them know we are present.
We do not have to fix anything for the other.
We can let them know we are listening and we WANT to listen.
Nodding while we listen.
Eye contact.
Gentle smiles.
Saying, “I hear you…”
In the simplest of ways, assuring them that whatever emotion they may be feeling is totally acceptable.
Totally.
Boom. Badda. Bang.
Connection.
Sidenote: This does NOT mean that you allow them to act out their feelings on you.
You can connect with any creature you wish.
Stop. Breathe. Wait. And listen.
Be thankful. Grateful.
Wait.
Listen.
And you will connect.
I wish to wholeheartedly thank all of my friends for being present for me through my emotional roller coaster in the past weeks. Your total acceptance of me is a gift that is priceless and that brings tears to my eyes as I type these words. I have felt connected, grounded and accepted with your help and support. I thank and love you all with big LOVE.
