Real communication occurs with real connection.
By Arielle Giordano
A few years ago, my husband and I attended a communication course. One of the most interesting things we learned was that texting, email—and even phone conversations—are NOT real forms of communication!
In today’s “world of everything Wi-Fi,” what does this mean? What happens when people believe they are communicating, but really they aren’t? Does it affect real human contact and communication? Yes! Does it remove and disconnect us from each other? Yes!
Electronic forms of communication can have a negative impact on our relationships because effective communication with another human being requires in-person contact and sharing. It causes more separation than connection because there is always a device in the middle of the conversation and communication. Yes, there are video apps like Zoom and FaceTime, but being in another’s personal space during a conversation allows us to pick up on subtle energies and body language that are typically lost in transmission.
There are so many high-tech ways to communicate, but are we talking at each other or with each other? Whether a relationship is intimate, work or casual, personal contact is an important part of communication. Think about shopping at the grocery store, eating at a restaurant, working in an office, visiting friends and family, or spending time with a partner…
Real communication occurs with real connection. Real connection happens when all levels of our being are engaged—body, mind and spirit. It’s similar to when we connect with nature—and nature tells us who we really are.
Real communication comes from the heart—and the true purpose of communicating is love. Love is the Truth of who we are—and when love is at the core of communication, we connect and join in the power of oneness.
As human beings, we connect to empower, embrace and join with each other. When we are coming from a place of love and share a personal space, it changes everything by bringing communication to a deeper level.
