Now What does being CONNECTED means ?
Theresa Castro (author) makes an attempt to classification of methods to be connected to your dear-ones. There are 5 (five) different ways Theresa puts forward. They are :
- Physical Connection.
- Mental Connection.
- Emotional Connection.
- Soul Connection.
- Spiritual Connection.
Theresa had made an attempt to describe each step in simple words in book. I will make an attempt to put all this connections with examples, which will help you to grasp them quicker as well never to forget.
Physical Connection: Physical connection type is when there is connection by touch and feelings. To know the connection, look at following scenario:
There is Mother who makes a kid sleep just by holding him next to her heart. So if you consider a kid-mom connection. This connection is truly physical. Neither the kids understands what we say, vice-verse. Making baby to go to sleep is because of mother heartbeats that makes kid to sleep.
Mental Connection: This type of connection is when you and other person can think same and come up to same conclusion, without actually talking to each other on same topic. “Our Thinking Matches“, is a phrase you often hear.
I have my friend who had a crush on his colleague. Things that made him go further with his one way traffic was that, they both had a mental connection. Their thinking matched. Personally I don’t believe but, my friend would see it as some kind of Telepathy working between them. As colleagues they would pick up same problem, and would try and implement same solution. Thier connection worked for many things. Ironically his Mental Connection (Telepathy) failed to find that she was dating someone already.
Emotional Connection: Emotional connection is said be there when two persons are emotionally together. In this case, both person’s are aware of emotional swing of other. They can anticipate mood and emotion of other at incidents or situations. This connection doesn’t means that one plays with emotions of others, but help him/her to come out depression.
I had my friend from childhood, we shared our news and happening very often. She was in relationship for quite a few years and then had to abruptly call it off. It had tremendous impact on her, health lowering, emotionally depressed, mood swings etc. Friend circle including me went in for help. Each one would come, make attempt to leave own philosophy with her and take her off depression. At that moment no one was able to connect with her emotionally. Except one, who understood her well, stood by her side, gave her support, time, and much needed emotional support. Connect was so good, he went out to be best man in her life.
Soul Connection: Soul (soul is the immaterial part of a person) connection is one, which gives us feeling of knowing of person very well even though you have just met. This is feeling which can only be experienced. This magical connection helps us have instant friends, relationship and all. When people say it just clicked, it means that they had a soul connection. When people meet for first time, and the go on discuss as if they have been friends for years. Never make a mistake to compare this with one you say as “Love/Friends at First sight“. This is between people and has nothing to with which sex person belongs.
When I tried and look back of all the people I have met in life and with whom I am had soul connection. I recollect this, On a fine winter morning, we were in for college (B-School) function. One of my seniors, took podium and started addressing to all present for managerial seminars and cultural festival. Seeing her first time in Fest (Festival/program) I knew she was not regular in college. Couples of looks exchanged, and then hunt for name started. In entire day we had lots of talks (all in action) that went between us, as being a part of organizing committee and no talks allowed at first rows. End of day we exchanged our business cards. Next 2 months, we kept on making attempts to figure out, before seminar, did we ever meet, talked. Common friends list also exchanged, only to find no one in common. Till date we are not able to find. But we are good friends from that day. Or should I say even before that?
Spiritual Connection: Your beloved, god and you share special bond. Most of Bollywood flicks have this connection working. In India, it can been seen predominately with Snaysis, Hrushis, and Tapis (a.k.a “Baba’s”). There are people who claim to have talked to Almighty. Unfortunately I am not spiritual types. I manage to keep may parents happy with their spiritual quotient about me.
I regularly attended yoga classes to know what does this science means and how will it help me connect. With many sessions and regular practice I discovered that, Yoga promotes meditation. Meditation has two stages:
Dhyana is achieving a state of meditation.
Samadhi is the highest form of meditation. This is a blissful superintelligent state. It is a state where you connect.
I find it difficult to attain even Dhyana. Whenever I do it under supervision, I attain a peace of mind to an extent, while when I try it all alone. I am not even able to remotely achieve. But as sessions made me realize, it is not a rocket science, you need to be patient. I will keep on practicing till; I am satisfied with my efforts.
When you connect on all five levels, relationship would be great. By personal experience its difficult to connect to person on more than 1 or 2. At the same time if a relationship is not working on one connection type try out, connecting with other type of connection.
It Works!!
