6D Challenge - Make a Daily Connection
This 6D challenge is from the Intersentient Dimension. It is a small idea which, if practiced regularly, can bring with it enormous benefits to your health and wellness.
It has been chosen precisely because of the reality in which we find ourselves - isolated, confused and vulnerable. In a world when a photo of two people holding hands to comfort one another feels like a memory sometimes, we feel this is the week to challenge ourselves to stay connected to one another.
"Added to the fear of contracting the virus in a pandemic such as COVID-19 are the significant changes to our daily lives as our movements are restricted in support of efforts to contain and slow down the spread of the virus. Faced with new realities of working from home, temporary unemployment, home-schooling of children, and lack of physical contact with other family members, friends and colleagues, it is important that we look after our mental, as well as our physical, health." - WHO website
During difficult and stressful times like these our connection to people becomes vital for our psychological health. Around the world right now millions of people are locked inside their homes and limiting social interactions with loved ones. Our social tethers are being cut and worldwide, mental health crises are on the rise.
"COVID-19 is creating historic mental health and psychosocial support needs — for virus victims, their families, health workers and others responding to the outbreak, and the public at large. This situation has exacerbated the psychological distress of thousands of people. Lockdown restrictions, the absence of social interaction, social outlets and the aggravation of economic challenges, are all impacting people's mental health and access to care." - ICRC Website

Intersentient Dimension
Integral to a healthy and balanced life are healthy relationships with other sentient beings. In this digital age, profound connections with others are more infrequent as we replace relationships with likes and shares. Balance this dimension of your life by focusing on real world connections with friends, lovers, spouses, family members, animals and nature. Share your time with other living things and reap the benefits of hormonal releases in your body which help to maintain our emotional balance.
Stop setting boundaries
​
Breathe deeply and open the mind to new realities
​
Focus on providing yourself with quality connections to other living organisms
​
Move towards more optimal choices in meeting the your social needs

Six Dimensions
When we balance the six dimensions, we reclaim the power to create our ideas into reality. We reclaim the power to create our lives as we wish them to be. This is a truth. It is also a process! One which requires commitment and enthusiasm.
We can simplify (organize) the process by concentrating on the six dimensions of our lives (Nutritional, Physical, Intellectual, Intrapersonal, Intersentient and Creative) and ensuring that we regularly seek to nurture each dimension whilst creating balance between all six.
