I’m connected to you, you are connected to me. This is why being connected has such healing powers, and separation and isolation are so detrimental. When I make an honest vulnerable connection with someone who receives me with compassion and without judgment, it is good for my soul. When I hide, wear a mask, or turn to things that provide me with a pseudo-connection my heart eventually shrivels up and dies.

Having real connections reminds me that my life is about more than just me and teaches me the power of non-judgmental presence.

Being conscious of connection will change the way I am in the world. I will be reminded that my actions always impact more than just myself and I reminded to be kind, just, and have mercy in everything that I do.

Deep connection is an essential human need placed in me by the Divine. As such, when a connection is made the veil is torn in two and I experience firsthand how everything is Divinely connected.

I invite you to try and find those places and people where you can be the real you and will be received without judgment.

I also invite you to silence and solitude where the purest connection with your True Self can be made.
