Bridging Divides and Cultivating Belonging | Exploring Perception Gaps and Heartfelt Connections with Melissa
Manage episode 446558049 series 3456549
What if the key to unity lies in listening, not agreeing? In this new solo series, which I'm calling "Brain Buzz," I am exploring the surprising insights from studies that reveal how perception gaps deceive us into thinking we're more divided than we truly are. Join me here as we uncover compelling, fascinating research from organizations like More in Common and a Stanford study that surprised everyone, including the researchers. I'm diving into how we belong--and connect--any time, but especially now when the world feels so polarized.
I also lead you on a short, science-backed exercise on heart coherence and belonging inspired by the work of Kimberly Snyder and the HeartMath Institute. This practice invites you to cultivate a sense of belonging in your daily life through coherence breathing and connecting with your heart space and evoking a feeling of belonging. Whether navigating interpersonal dynamics at work, within your community, or at home, this exercise provides a powerful tool to foster the connections we all crave. In a time of heightened division, join me in embracing authenticity and the beauty of showing up as our true selves, finding belonging in the most unexpected places.
Here's the link to The Happiness Lab podcast episode which details the connection studies mentioned today.
Here's the link to Kimberly Snyder's work. She does some amazing heart coherence work, and has a new book out, The Hidden Power of the Five Hearts, which is really great!
And here's the HeartMath Institute which has soooooooo much good and free and worthwhile content.
