Consent & We - The Emotional Beings
 |

Have you ever thought about asking to seek permission in this permissionless
world?
Any type of connection begins with the desired need of establishing it,
knowingly or unknowingly. Whenever someone asks me for consent it
unconditionally opens my heart to welcome the fact that the person in front of
me is willing to respect my needs. And, whenever I feel my needs are being
given their due, my heart connects the dots to bridge all the gaps which can
occur to build a strong connection with the individual irrespective of her
portrayal of self.
I also think a lot about the condition when people do not ask for consent and
directly attack my personal space; which every time results in
disrupting my connection with them in that particular moment. I do not know how
does it work for other people yet I believe the feeling would be the same if someone
enters into someone's personal space without caring about the need of the
person in question.
It was only a few years ago when one of my friends once requested me to put
requests if I wanted to enter into someone else's space! It was all new in the
beginning and I felt awkward and hesitant asking about anything. Gradually, I
started to feel the magic of it. It was just crazy to witness some little
requests for consent transforming relationships dramatically. I was overwhelmed
and content at the same time while experiencing the power of making requests.
As small as asking to ask and as big as asking to give or take anything in
particular.
The way I have practiced so far and still looking for improvement in asking,
then performing, and realizing when to stop myself as per the need of a person
with me, is just liberating for me. I haven't thought about it much when it was
introduced to me but now I feel it's one of the most powerful ways to get into
anything. One more beautiful thing I have learned while doing this is, it (the
process of making requests especially asking without expectations) makes me
free from the burden of thinking about the consequences and I can fully enjoy
the process of being into it.
I would like to request you to make a request (if not with all then, at least
with me) whenever you intend to enter into someone's space next!
In last, two things to remember; Ask without expectations & Do not expect
before asking!
