More about the Aaahh

• The Aaahh puts Trust, Fidelity and Commitment into our relationships on a new and very different level. Communication and Connectedness are the main priorities of the Aaahh Education approach.
  
  
• The Aaahh and its practices are an intimately personal reality - the feeling of being connected and belonging to an extended family. According to the Aaahh, quality communication and meaning come primarily from people living effectively in community.
  
  
• Many in rich countries who suffer from depression, or other emotional disorders, may need a different psychology – a moral psychology of this very moment. Such a psychology would enable you and I, while communicating and interacting, to feel a certain "something" which unites and bonds us. This enablement already allows us to feel "this certain something" within our established relationships, and our extended family as a whole. The dynamics of such a psychology may require new tools, ethical communication tools, to be effective in the flow taking place between us. The Aaahh communication approach can provide this.
  
  
• This approach is about more meaningful communication and bonding in our relationships. The Aaahh is more applicable to those of us who feel the need to put this issue on the "front burner", as an absolute priority. For those of us with this need, communication and relationships are the axis around which everything else revolves.

• We seek to reach our full potential and become our own person within the Aaahh communal framework.
  
  
• We aim to reduce fragmented information-clutter in our communications.

• The Aaahh is based on principles of ecology and community spirituality. We share the concern of the climate imperative and the need to modify our lifestyles accordingly. In addition, the social skills necessary to maintain community will be essential tools to enable our physical survival at the end of the petrochemical era, now rapidly approaching.
  
  
• There is more to life than being defined mainly by what we own. As long as we can have some basic accommodation and nourishing food, our bottom line and main priority need not be constant talk of the economy, but rather the quality of our communication and relationships. This creates a different culture, of which, some of us are very much in need. In this rich country, constantly focusing our energies mainly on the material realm misses the essence of what life is about.
  
  
• In the Aaahh, healing happens freely by a mutual offering of sharing and giving energies, without the need for money exchanges. This way of living can still be found with some indigenous and tribal peoples. When we, within our friendships or the larger scope of life, can put the money equation in a different light, it often brings a fundamental change in communication, in our friendships, and in our outlook on life. For some, this is a fundamental issue to address within ourselves and our relationships.

• The Aaahh is a democratic, decentralised association. Our members learn to accommodate each other, irrespective of having different beliefs and practices, or not having a belief. This association encourages Aaahh groups to get involved in voluntary work in the larger community. The Aaahh is a blueprint, although not a universal one, to help us connect and search for meaning.

All this can be achieved through:

Practices and meditations
Artistic expressions
Our group culture

Our 3 main practices, given below, help us attain our aim without the need for any great intellectual understanding. Naturally, our heartfelt intentions of being open and communicative are enough to carry us a long, long way when we are keen to grow and learn. If we can meaningfully bond and are not bent upon willfully creating substantial tension and conflicts with other members, we don't need to take up Aaahh practices to help us in our relationships. Our good and sound intentions will do nicely. However, if you would like to gain a better understanding about the Aaahh please go to the 5 clicks shown at the bottom of the 3 main practices section.
