Relationships thrive when they are grown in the fertile soil of emotionally nourishing and sensory rich experiences. Whether you are looking to improve your relationship with a child or build a stronger foundation with your spouse, focus on creating interactions that are both emotionally nourishing and sensory rich.

 

Why? You may ask. When we purposefully creating emotionally nourishing environments we create safe and sacred spaces where those we love feel safe and can be vulnerable without threat of injury. When you then couple this with a rich sensory experience such as pleasant music or sounds, lovely smells, delightful tastes, gentle touch, or beautiful imagery you cement the positive experience in the mind in a way that becomes difficult to prune away.
