hi Sonia,
we really like your essay. It makes us feel excited. We wish you all the best success for your research project and look forward to following developments. Laura is really interested in energy and how she works with it with other people. As you know she is a occupational therapist and a young parents worker. It is important to be conscious or mindful of one's own energy, especially if working in a theraputic role as one needs to protect one's elf from 'burnout' as is it known. One also needs pure intentions in order to hold a clear space for people to offload safely. One also needs to learn how to support and give energy without passing on one's own. This is something that we would like to read more about. It is interesting that you draw on eastern meditation practice in your thinking. We recently went on a weekend native American shamanism course which is very focused on energy also.
Brendan is very interested in changing society and the economy and it is interesting that you mention that if we want to change society than people need to be conscious and mindful. He thinks that education is really important in this as so many are unconscious of the actual economic processes that underlie our activities and behavior. We need to be conscious and aware of the mistakes we are making as individuals and collectively so we can learn from them and not repeat them in our future.
Best of luck,
Laura and Brendan
