« Bonjour, c’est #InTouch » : appeler nos aînés sans devoir leur parler, c’est désormais possible grâce à l’ #IA

A destination des quadras et quinquas débordés, l’application propose de s’en remettre à l’intelligence artificielle pour maintenir le lien avec leurs aïeux, à travers un coup de fil passé par un robot mais commandé par la progéniture. Qui a de nombreuses limites.

Un truc bien flippant... et honnêtement 'à gerber'. Déléguer à une ia la relation avec ses proches....

We can sense when we are accepted and loved unconditionally by others. When this happens, we relax. And then, almost miraculously, we feel safe enough to open up like a flower bud in the warming sun.

#intouch
We tend to instinctively avoid both physical and emotional pain. Who wants to feel worse? Yet when we realize that our pain is actually a message telling us to pay attention, we begin to approach our experience differently.

The path of distancing is well-worn and familiar: we judge ourselves or others, and then we attack, withdraw, or numb. These reactions are all variations of the classic defensive repertoire of fight, flight, or freeze. The path of welcoming our experience, of becoming intimate with it, is less familiar. While it seems riskier, it is far more rewarding.

How do you relate to your experience—particularly your more challenging or emotionally painful experiences? Do you welcome them, or do you try to distance yourself from them? Do you lean in, or do you lean away? Are you intimate with them or distant from them?

While some people are interested in having an out-of-body experience, many have never had a fully in-the-body experience, where they feel deeply at ease in their bodies and sense the body’s natural fluid, alive, and open way of being.

#intouch
We can have a felt sense of another person, a situation that we are in, or an internal state… …we can also sense into our connection with the whole of life. Not only is the body embedded in the emergent flow of life, but it also is an expression of this flow and has a sense of the source of this flow. …the body has a native sense of what is deeply true or real. … The far reach of felt sensing embraces everything, including our sense of knowing. …the direct and intuitive sensing of our deepest truth.

I originally trained in focusing when I was a graduate student in 1980. …I continue to informally use some of its principles and practices, particularly felt sensing and checking for resonance. Over time I have been surprised to discover the far reach of felt sensing. The body’s natural capacity to holistically sense goes far beyond its ability to sense a specific problem or situation.
