the Aaahh Gharnapatee (a communal experiential approach to communication and self-realization) The Aaahh seeks to establish small independent communities of caring people, living and sharing as an extended family where the Communal flowing Culture overrides verbal divorcing nuances. The Aaahh is mostly suitable for those of us who feel that their communication and relationships with family and friends, takes priority. Other than having to worry about basic material necessities, our relationships with family and friends become an absolute priority, for our psychological and social health. The
main requirement here is a willingness to work in a community
environment, which are our family and friends who we know or wish to
know more. ~~~ ~~~ The Aaahh association is an open family for communication and dialogue. However like any family with its own inner dynamics, in one of our main practices, we explore and emphasize the nonverbal and gestured expressions, to see what role they play in our communications as well as in conflict resolution. ~~~
~~~
Our eyes speak, the expression on our face speaks, the tone and texture of our voice speaks, our gestures speak and our body speaks. All these, in a split second, can speak to us, without words, and tell us many things when we know how to read such obvious unspoken signals When
we become familiar with each other and a big crack in communication comes about or we want to emotionally
highlight this very moment, we in the Aaahh dynamic, are able to let go of words and the merely 'talking
about the situation'. We then approach the issue more directly through the expression of our feelings, using up
to 3 understandable words, only if so desired. We negotiate, highlight and enhance our feelings. We reach an on the spot feeling conclusion, which many of us are in need of, especially when we are vague, confused or too speedy etc. Such a "feeling stopping point" can vastly differ from an intellectually rational ending one. With
practices and our group culture, we cultivate nurturing 'Now
impressions' and the ripples they create. These "Now impressions" can counteract or lessen a powerful sucking up of unwanted
'Now
impressions', coming from within or without. ~~~~~~ A
key rational decision is often accompanied with a feeling closing
expressed at once, in non-articulate verbal manners or ways. This
expression, in turn, triggers our imagination and a chain of
associations. If we can have such an input into this rational split
second event, and put aside our intellect for a while, we are able to
direct these nano course events, ushering in an on the spot new vibe.
This new different vibe can at once change the course in our
interactions. Now we can veer away from our machine like
thinking/feeling mind and be more in our Primal thinking/feeling mind
= in the Aaahh Quantum experiential psychology. This "psychology"
has to do more with feelings of key nano-events. These, for sensitive
aware people, are vital to Balance and Imbalance in our
moment-to-moment communications and interactions. In these rather idiosyncratic exchanges, our Community Culture and vibe serve as the moderator. The Aaahh is a hands on experiential psychology of actions. What a paradox! all this sense-making grammatical verbosity!...to try and explain such childlike simple things like an honest smile, touch, eye contact, a hug etc... Our
Objective measure is our Community, our group vibe and its flexible
culture, not centered around individualism or confrontation and the
culture of words. This
is what the Aaahh is about. Research shows that 85% of our communication is subconscious. Our subconscious mind often acts and thinks independently of what "I may think, want or do etc".(please find research information gathered on the Internet). We in the Aaahh have a flexible communication model, which helps us interact in our daily life and additionally, to resolve uncertainty and conflict, at any moment, when the need arises. For
sensitive people who
feelingly know each other
it is very important to recognize where we stand emotionally and
share "in this very moment of communicating or relating".
Such a sharing will take care of our strong fixations as individual
beings and bond us more as a community.
We create a new 'chain of associations and responses so we can contribute to this "now relational moment". At any moment we allow for the intellect to be suspended, and for these emotional faces, signs and punctuations to be colored by the group unifying culture, and be expressed, as long as necessary, to sense the underlying commonality. Among the whole wish-wash, meaningful bonding will surface. We can bypass our reasoning language to experience a genuine smile, eye contact, a gesture, a tone of voice etc. In these complex uncertain times of information overload, such basic expressions are essential in the Aaahh framework for communication, in conflict resolution and in the creative individual and community artistic expressions. This Very " Nano Quantum Moment" affects the reality of the next moment. The Aaahh is concerned with such key blink of an eye, always forming realities and the making of our "subconscious decisions". They are vital to communications between our members, and to the shaping of community irrespective of beliefs, practices or ideologies. These
instant atomic level interactions and objectives require a very
different, from the ordinary, general "thinking/talking over"
approach. When, "this very moment" is allowed suitable
expression, we don't have a need to go to our past or future. This
very synchronicity
Aaahh moment,
when effectively met, can take care of all our psychological needs. However, for those of us absorbed too much in our individuality, we will need to do practices and meditations until we can pick up more on our community vibe and then we can resort to them only when a need arises. The Aaahh psychology is realized through its practices.
~~~ Most of our intellectual and emotional capital is conditioned by our past. By merely talking and repeating pressing issues, it is hard to bring about a change. In the Aaahh framework, when sensitive issues arise, we at once can accompany these with spontaneous non-verbal expressions, using a maximum of only three intelligible words. Such acts become the emotional undertones of our verbal interactions. We
add an emotional component to our intellectual conclusions, to highlight them.This helps conscious and subconscious boundaries turn porous and flexible, giving less voice to intellectual fragmenting disunity. Some
of these expressions can fit in an elastic scale of psychological
markers that guide communication between our members and shape
communal culture and spirit. As well, these authentic childlike
expressions can substitute or enhance verbal interactions. On this
primal instinctual level people cannot help but be transparent in
interactions and relationships. This leads us to more unity. Such
unity basically does not need words. It can more easily accommodate
diversity in this shrinking world of ours. In these complex,
materialistic sophisticated days,
it
is easier to hide from ourselves, and others, behind our 'objectivity'
words and rigid principles… We
are story telling creatures. Through our relationships in our Community, we validate ourselves as Social and Spiritual Connected beings. The above written is meant to point to a way of communication and relationship. Does
it sound too brainy?
Don't be put off!
If you belong to a cohesive community family, you can drop everything,
all these words you are reading or may want to read, drop your heavy
burdens, and tune in into your Community Vibe. This will give release
and make things lighter and easier. The
founders of the Aaahh did not believe too much in words but rather in practices that lead to a culture where words can be put aside and Be in the moment of now. The practices and meditations they provided help us individually as well as help us create cohesive Communities. They form the science of the Aaahh dynamics and its culture, where words and language play a secondary role in quality communications. Please, try this out with your friends...in your normal talking together with friends, mix in the simple childlike interactions and some of your kinky behaviors. Such personalized responses can often bring about a positive change instead of merely talking about the situation. As well, please, have a look at our 3 main practices. Thanks. |
