 Why Connections Matter in a Disconnected World

In a world where technology keeps us constantly connected, many people still feel deeply disconnected. Despite social media, instant messaging, and video calls, something crucial is missing—genuine, meaningful relationships.

Why Humans Need Connection

We are wired for relationships. Real human connections give us emotional support, help us navigate challenges, and add meaning to our lives. Research shows that people with strong social bonds are happier, less stressed, and even live longer. When we lack these connections, loneliness and emotional distress can set in.

What’s Causing Disconnection?

While digital communication makes it easy to stay in touch, it often leads to shallow interactions. Scrolling through posts isn’t the same as having a deep conversation. Constant screen time also takes away from real-life moments, making it harder to build meaningful relationships.

How to Make Time for Real Connections

1. Prioritize Quality Over Quantity – It’s better to have a few close friends than many acquaintances. Invest time in relationships that truly matter.

2. Be Fully Present – When talking to someone, put your phone down and give them your full attention. Listening deeply shows that you care.

3. Engage in Shared Activities – Join a hobby group, volunteer, or participate in community events. Doing things together naturally strengthens bonds.

4. Open Up – Genuine connections grow when we share our thoughts and feelings. Being real invites others to do the same.

5. Use Technology Wisely – Instead of just texting, schedule a video call or meet in person when possible. Let technology support your relationships, not replace them.

6. Create Tech-Free Time – Set aside moments where you and your loved ones disconnect from screens and focus on each other.

Connection doesn’t just happen we have to make time for it. By being intentional and making small changes, we can create meaningful relationships that bring joy, comfort, and a sense of belonging. In the end, it’s not about how many people we know, but how deeply we connect with them.

Healing is as effective as the healer is healed.

Healing is as effective as the Healer is  Healed. The untimely death of the actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has the whole nation gripped in shock and sadness.  It has raised a few questions in my mind? This is not the first time anyone has committed suicide but what drives them to this extreme step of giving up on themselves, their families, their loved ones. Why does someone commit suicide? Why does one feel so  helpless that they feel there is no way out? Why do people give up ?  What can we as individuals do to help ourselves and our loved ones family, friends,colleagues to cope &  survive despite what they  are going through in their lives. Not everyone is born with a mighty will.  Most people need help .  It could be a small thing as just being heard .  Just being there . First we need to heal ourselves of our sorrow, pain, anger, fear, trauma we carry within us.    When we work on ourselves we can help the other. ...

TO THY OWN SELF BE TRUE.

To Thy Own Self Be True . Being true to yourself means honouring yourself , the divinity within you which brings out the best in you  allowing you to contribute to your  growth . When we reflect and evaluate our experiences we connect with our deepest self  which guides us to live in happiness, joy and harmony within  and all around us.  Asking yourself , if what you  do or experience brings you peace , makes  you  happy, contributes  to your  growth and reflects in your relationships then you are being true to yourself. We live in a society where one is conditioned to Fit In .  Conditioned to ignore our needs, conditioned to first do things for the others, conditioned to be quiet, conditioned to tolerate things even if one has been hurt, conditioned to put up with people who hurt you, humiliate you, belittle you, ignore you.  When we are true to our own needs , honest with ourselves we become aware of our strengths....

WE ARE THE ENERGY WE CARRY

WE ARE TH ENERGY WE CARRY.   Energy is everywhere and in everything.  Energy affects us.  Since the time we are born,  who  we are is determined by the experiences we have and how we  perceive these experiences.   The emotions we hold or carry about the experience affect our being both positively and negatively. Energy is movement .. When we have a Positive emotion  the  energies magnify, they become radiant, they align with our core being.and vibrate at higher frequencies.   When we have a negative emotion  our energies become dull, they shrink and disconnect from our being and vibrate at lower frequencies. Our emotions are key  to understanding  the energy we carry.  Emotions are the language of our being.  The feelings or emotions we predominantly carry becomes ones energy. Holding on to negative emotions is toxic to our being. Negative emotions like anger, worry, fear, hatred, disappointment ,guilt...
