Amplification.
The act or result of amplification; addition, expansion, depth & growth, increasing magnitude.
When we are witnessed in something it is amplified. This is an enormous power that is often unacknowledged.
Where can you harness the power of amplification in your life right now?
Where would it most serve you to be witnessed?
On a personal note: I had an incredibly deep experience at a Women’s workshop last week, which I feel was amplified by one of my besties being there. Being witnessed in the growth phase by her was so powerful. I feel I have a stronger memory of it due to her presence, her witnessing, and the conversation continuing further than just that one event.
Is that why as a parent, going to your kids sports carnivals is important for them? Is that why gathering your nearest and dearest to an occasion makes it so much more powerful? Is that why Facebook attracts so much time for many people? Is that why it can be harder in spaces where we feel not as witnessed (such as with job losses, losing a baby, depression, financial catastrophes, breakups)?
I’m playing with these thoughts this week. And encourage you to do the same. Let’s reach out, drop the judgement, just be for someone else.
Be a witness.
Drop me a line if you would like to be witnessed in something specific in your world. I would be honored to witness it.
