How to stay energetically connected to other people and the Universe?
Quiet people are often quiet because they don’t feel the need to talk to feel connected to others. Quietness is not the cause of the connectedness, however, it’s the symptom of it. You won’t find a connection to other people by simply staying silent. All you will do is fidget more as the little connection you had will be taken away. It helps, but you’ll have to also look for the connection while silent.
What the quiet people do, without thinking, actually, is that their spirit fully occupies their body.
There’s a level of self-loathing in the inability to sit in one’s body
Loud people avoid their body. They are detached from it and try not to associate themselves with the body. This is interesting because if you ask them, most of them would say they are their body, while the people who remain in their bodies would say they are their “mind” or “their soul”, the spirit.
I believe that a person who doesn’t quite like themselves will try to disassociate themselves with themselves; the body. Their mind, who is disgusted about their own behavior, wants to stay as far away from that disgusting/disappointing creature, the body, themselves.
Those of us who fully accept ourselves for what we are can sit within our bodies without a trouble facing who we are. We are also curious about who we are; we are introverts.
However, you can fully like yourself, but associate the body negatively nonetheless
Spiritually traumatized people fall into this group. You might be truly a nice person with the best of intentions and the most giving character, you might be truly on board with what you are, but still, decide the body aspect of you is filthy or dangerous. You may want to disassociate with drugs, alcohol, sexuality, or a need to constantly eat, and you believe all of that is your body’s doing. It is not. The body only does what you want it to do. It is without a will of its own. The only thing you could possibly pin on it is the need to stay alive, but reproducing, for instance, is not the need of the body but the need of the soul. So is sex.
All needs come from the soul, and all negative needs are usually replacements for a positive need that is, through some “moral” ground, deemed harmful or “non-spiritual”. The reason why positive needs of the soul have deemed immoral or negative is often sheer jealousy or the need to control who you associate with, love, desire, or feel loyalty to. I’ll talk about that later.
How to simply do it – without overthinking it
Reasons aside – you can start pinpointing your actual reasons for staying out of your body once you return back to it. You will feel the connection to other people through every cell of your body. You don’t need to look up at them, you certainly don’t need to talk to them or have them talk to you to feel them.
I believe different cultures have different levels of difficulty returning to the body – I am a Finn, we spend most of our days silently staring into the distance right past our friends and family members. Still, I bet we are more connected to them than members of cultures who support small talk. Small talk, that the Finns both loathe and suck at – and the reason being, it disrupts the connection. The constant chatter makes it hard to focus on the being present.
The best place to practice is a public area where you don’t need to talk to anyone without appearing rude. A train station, a hotel lobby, an airplane. Then, you’ll need some Finnish friends, lol. 😉 If you have friends who would like to learn this, agree that you will no longer need to talk constantly when you are together.
Sit down in a comfortable chair preferably around other people
Sit down, just slouch in your chair, this is not difficult. Lotus position makes it probably harder, I don’t know, I don’t meditate, no need to, sit wherever you feel comfortable. I’d still repeat that preferably just in an armchair, with your feet up on the table, or whatever, just to remind yourself this is not fucking rocket science.
Then, return to your body. Not through your head, but remember there’s more to your body than your head. Try not to place your head down your groin or anything stupid like that, your head is your head, your toes are your toes. Return your soul, that actually DOES have a physical shape, your astral body, allow it to return fully into your body.
Feel what your hamstrings say about the people present? (They won’t say much, don’t worry, but they’ll feel something.) The palms of your hand and the soles of your feet are the most talkative about other people, heart, of course, beats them, too. This is how a ninja knows if he’s being attacked without looking behind himself. Your body needs to be alert, even when relaxed, fully aware of its surroundings.
Each hair in your body is an antenna.
The “mantra”
Put your astral ass where your physical ass is, put your astral palms into your physical palms, match the soles of your feet. Then, feel your body. Feel your emotions. Feel the presence and the energy of other people and the Universe through your body. You’ll never be lonely again.
The world is full of friends you haven’t met yet.
You are not alone.
And, feel amazed about your body.
Screw spirit, everyone has one, living, dead, or disembodied, but a body, now THAT is a fucking miracle!
As a bonus, gentlemen. Please match your astral parts to your physical parts.
You can toss your Viagra now.
Ladies, do the equivalent.
Now, imagine these two parts meet.
