Alan Alda: Build empathy. Monitor your relationships.

#Empathy #AlanAlda  #BigThinkEdge  #Communication  Empathy is a superpower for connecting and communicating with others, but it can be surprisingly fragile. Even a bad mood or preoccupied mind can easily close us off to the people – even the ones we're closest to, let alone to colleagues or strangers on the daily commute. Noticing this, Alan Alda wondered what exercises could help bulk up his "empathy muscle" regardless of shifting circumstances. An exercise he invented became the focus of a psychological study that discovered a way to significantly increase empathy. Alan Alda teaches "The Art and Science of Relating: Build and Monitor Empathy" for Big Think Edge. Empathy tends to evaporate when we don't practice it. At Big Think Edge, Alan Alda teaches an immediately actionable video lesson that will teach you exercises to significantly grow your capacity for empathy. Greater empathy is an asset whether you're looking to boost your c

Hijo De La Luna / Child of the moon (video)

Beautiful cover of the original by Mecano.  Definitely appropriate as the waxing moon becomes full tomorrow evening. #SarahBrightman #Mecano #HijoDeLaLuna  Y las noches que haya luna llena Será porque el niño esté de buenas Y si el niño llora Menguará la luna para hacerle una cuna Y si el niño llora Menguará la luna para hacerle una cuna And at when in the night the moon is full It means that the child is in a good mood And if he cries, Then the moon shall wane To serve as a cradle And if he cries, The moon shall wane To serve as a cradle

JP Cooper - In The Silence | Mahogany Session (video)

 #InTheSilence #UnderGreySkies #MahoganySessions #JPCooper     I've been seeking silver linings, feeling incomplete Singing "oh oh I wish it didn't taste so bittersweet" So enamoured, stutter, stammered, oh my voice was broke Like a poor man stood before the queen I tripped over my tongue before I spoke And though I never said it with words There was love in the silence Even now after all of these years You're the light in my darkness Used to share that feeling, dreaming Gazing at the bedroom ceiling Oh oh now I'm lay here wishing you'd come home And though I never said it with words There was love in the silence Even now after all of these years You're the light in my darkness Darling please, listen close and you'll hear There's still love in the silence Even now after all these long years I feel love in the quiet And though I never said it with words There was love in the silence Even now after all of these years You're the light in my

The Couch in Rainbow Colors: ‘L.G.B.T.-Affirming’ Therapy

A collage on gay identity in the office of Joy Turek, the psychology chairwoman at Antioch, made by students in a class Dr. Turek teaches.CreditKendrick Brinson for The New York Times #AULA #JoyTurek #DougSadownick #gayidentity #LGBTQ #MulticulturalCounseling #JDFuller #AntiochUniversityLosAngeles  By Casey Schwartz , NY Times July 13th, 2016 CULVER CITY, Calif. — “Are we ready to expose ourselves?” J. D. Fuller asked, halfway through the graduate-level psychology class she teaches on Tuesday nights at Antioch University. Ms. Fuller’s students needed no further prompting. They began shedding layers, revealing what they’d been wearing underneath: T-shirts on which they had scrawled names, labels, and insults in Magic Marker ink. Around the room, the collection was various: “Sissy,” “AIDS,” “pedophile,” “pervert,” “fag,” “str8t-acting,” “socialite,” “fat,” “bland,” “emotionally white,” “immigrant,” “stupid American.” Welcome to L.G.B.T.

How a Group of Gay Male Ballet Dancers Is Rethinking Masculinity

#Queerness #Dancers #Ballet #Masculinity #Dance #LGBTQ #Gay These men are finding new stages on which to express their #queerness, collapsing gender barriers in the world of dance. 1. The Ballerino When I was 15, I met a dancer from Canada’s  Royal Winnipeg Ballet . The company had come to  Los Angeles  to dance in the  Olympic Arts Festival , and my parents volunteered to host a post-performance dinner in our backyard. I recall about 200 people — family friends, Olympic officials and maybe 25 dancers — eating curry (is that right?) off paper plates. But that’s not what this is about. No, this is about the ballerino — my word for him — I met and what he represented to a lonely gay kid in Southern California in 1984, a kid who had never before met another gay person. Earlier that evening, I had seen the dancer turn, leap and smile onstage, expressing through the mute language of ballet who he was. Something about his movement told me he was gay, and I felt he was dancing not
