Belonging is one of our most basic needs, if not the most basic need. We all need to belong. To a team, to a company, to groups of special interests, to our friends, to our families, or to our favourite person/s.
Nobody can survive alone, we are human beings, we need resonance, closeness, we need to hold and we need to be held.
If we miss all this, we will lose our joy, our sense of self, and sooner or later our lives.
Knowing that the need to belong is a core basic need, I started the 1st session of a beginners’ mindfulness training today, by telling the group, that each and every person is 100% right in this course. That they all equally belong in this group, no matter what their function, background, experience, seniority, or energy level is. And that I welcome everyone of them warmly. The reactions in their faces were priceless🤍.
Guiding people is sacred, to enable a sense of belonging is a good way to start. Try it out, and savor the reactions.
Where do you belong?
