Get connected!

I watched a great Brazilian movie last night, called "O Cheiro do Ralo", in English "Drained". In this amazingly well written story, a lonely pawn shop owner takes out his neurosis on those who come to sell him their belongings. It is a story about the misery and sadness in not being able to connect to those around us and desperately trying to do so through sadistic and damaging ways.


This made me ask myself: "How am I connecting to the people around me?"
Do I want to exert power over those who come close to me? Do I need to prove to them my views of the world are the right views of the world? Do I put myself in a victim position, always waiting for someone  to make me happy and frustratingly never experiencing this so sought after happiness? Do I fake love and affection just to receive it right back? Or am I  incessantly giving all my essence to others and never expecting anything in return?

In "A General Theory of Love", a great book that scientifically approaches human emotions, authors Lewis, Amini and Lannon state that "Within the effulgence of their new brain, mammals developed a capacity we call limbic resonance - a symphony of mutual exchange and internal adaptation whereby two mammals become attuned to each other's inner states".

Which shows us that our connection to those around us goes way beyond words, there is a resonance in the way we interact that needs nothing but the interaction itself, no words, no gestures. Just being there is enough to sense and give and take accordingly.

So I ask you, do you feel you are getting from your relationships that which truly makes you happy?

HOW ARE YOU CONNECTING TO THE WORLD AROUND YOU?

I'm here again!

It's taken so long to start blogging again! In the meanwhile between the last post and this one, I have moved to a different country, finally settled into a flat I love and have pursued interests that I had been thinking about for a long time. I am currently training to be a life and career coach and am following a shamanic path which includes daily meditations and much strengthening of the body, mind and soul!
So I decided to commit to this blog again in a different way. I will not be limiting information and ideas only to child-related issues. I will be spreading the word about all things that interest and help me and hopefully you reading this, to LIGHT UP OUR SOULS!!

Happy readings!
