We are Designed for Connection
From the moment we are conceived, we are physically connected to our mother’s body in a symbiotic relationship essential for survival. This fundamental need for connection extends beyond the physical—it shapes every aspect of our lives. Social and emotional connection is not just a luxury; it is vital for both survival and thriving. But connection goes even deeper. True connection begins within, through the practices that allow us to access the deeper parts of ourselves.
Yet, in today’s world, many of us have lost touch with this innate need. Some of us grew up without daily spiritual practices that fostered inner connection. And while technology has given us the ability to connect instantly across the globe, it has also disconnected us in profound ways.
The Illusion of Connection in the Digital Age
We assume that social media makes us more connected. In some ways, that’s true—the ability to communicate instantly is incredible. But what about the deeper, more meaningful relationships that have shaped human evolution?
Humans evolved in small, close-knit groupswhere everyone knew one another. Relationships were built on familiarity, shared values, and collective purpose. Today, we may have hundreds of "friends" on Facebook or Instagram, yet many of us feel lonelier than ever.
The decline in close, meaningful relationships is contributing to mental and physical health struggles. While likes and friend requests provide quick dopamine hits, they leave us feeling empty—lacking the authentic, meaningful relationships we deeply crave and need for our very survival.
The Harm of Social Comparison
Social comparison is not new, but social media has exponentially amplified it. We now compare ourselves to a curated, filtered version of others' lives—often leaving us feeling "less than" without realizing how unrealistic these portrayals are.
How does this impact you personally? Do you ever find yourself feeling inadequate after scrolling through social media? Do you feel drained instead of fulfilled? If so, you are not alone.
How to Cultivate Deeper Connection
So, how can we reclaim authentic connectionwith ourselves and others?
Connection Is the Key
True connection begins within and radiates outward. The more we nurture our relationship with ourselves, the more authentic and fulfilling our relationships with others become.
Let’s step away from the illusion of connection and rediscover the real, deep, nourishing connection we were designed for.
