How do we connect to others? What makes a true intimate connection, and a feeling of being one with others? We try to understand what they are going through and working on, we try to practically help them with our actions and lend a helping hand, we listen, and we empathize with whatever feelings they may have.
Recently I had an audition for something, and sometimes I film myself just to get a feel of the work. This is my very first improv run through so don't mind my playing with the work, but pay attention to Koshka the cat and the very strong reaction she has to the process - which blew my mind. I didn't see it coming but was very touched. Her level of being in tune and how she wanted to connect is something we can all learn from. :)
Here are some of the things I observed, and I hope to remember and use them as I connect with others:
#1. She looks at the scripts and papers I am reading and studies what I am doing and what they are about
#2. She gets on my back actually tries to help pull and shout and help me do the action I am doing
#3. She listens, she is present, and tries to understand and doesn't try to change me when I am processing
#4. When my emotions become very strong she tries to hug and console me and actually cries with me
Let us all move through life being Fully Feeling Feline's...
