In Chapter I, The book explores two fields one can focus in order to cultivate Mindful Connection:- Empathy Filed involves any action that one takes toward creating empathy and focusing on what is emotionally going on for him/herself or another person. The basic purpose of the Empathy Field is to identify met and unmet needs by attuning to all the feelings (both joyous and non-joyous). - Resolution Field is about any action that takes a person toward focusing on rational thinking, logical inference and taking conscious, responsible and real action. It is about focusing on what can be done about a situation and acting on it. The basic purpose of the Resolution Field is to maintain the met needs identified in the Empathy Field and to aim toward getting the identified unmet needs met. Doing this sustains the joyous feelings, resolves one's non-joyous feelings, builds resilience and creates wellbeing. Each person that one connects to (including him/herself) has Empathy and Resolution Field to focus on. This creates four different Fields one can Focus on at a given time.
