Quantum Entanglement and It's Effect on The Workplace
Okay, so what is quantum entanglement and what does it have to do with the workplace?
Marilyn Schlitz, President of the Institute for Noetic Sciences in San Francisco has asked the question: "Does our consciousness have the capacity to reach out and connect to someone else in a way that's health-promoting?" (BTW: Dan Brown based his lead character in his book, The Lost Symbol, on Marilyn and the Institute).
To me, science is catching up with what many of us have known intuitively. So quantum entanglement is described as "Once two particles have interacted, if you separate them, even by miles, they behave as if they're still connected." So far, this has only been demonstrated on the subatomic level but Marilyn and her team are investigating this possibility with human relationships.Dean Radin, a senior scientist at the lab wonders: "Could people in close relationships — couples, siblings, parent and child — also be 'entangled'? Not just emotionally, and psychologically — but also physically?"
I suggest, we think about this concept in terms of our working relationships. I'm sure you have taken worries about work relationships (your boss, co-worker, customer) home - and vice versa - brought feelings about personal relationships to work. There has been a lot documented on the physical effects of stressful work environments. I'm sure at some point you have experienced a stressful work relationship.
What would it feel like if these were joys - charges, positive feelings - about your work relationship? What would it feel like to be engaged with a helpful, positive entanglement? Choose one relationship today to focus on to boost your immune system and allow the other worries to fall away. Just for today.
