The ache for home lives in all of us. The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.

Maya Angelou

Being human, we always yearn for human connections, friendships, care, love, companionship to have some sense of security, worthiness, calm, groundedness, and the feeling of being loved. Socially connecting with other human beings is our natural instinct, and crucial to our existence as well. When we meet amazing people, we can exchange a lot of goodness — appreciate eachother’s similarities and differences; as diversity is always inspiring and to be respected, admired and celebrated.

It is a state of energetic flow and coherency in all systems of the body, brain, and mind.
Human beings respond to shock and developmental/relational trauma by dissociating and disconnecting.
The result is a dimming down of the life force that leaves a person,
to varying degrees, exiled from life.
