Mind: Interpersonal connection.

Subjective experience is real and is the gateway foi interpersonal connection, for integration with another person. This is why, I'll will suggest to you, empathy within a relationship promotes improved immune function and a deep sense of well-being. When your subjective experience is seen and respected, and you receive communication of that attunement, then you and the other person become connected as two different individuals becoming linked. This interpersonal integration rises each individual's state of integration, which feel good and is good for you. You achieve, in compexity science terms, a higher state of integration than either person alone could achieve. This is the notion of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. That's why subjectivity is so profoundly important. Attending to one anotyher's subjective lives increases integration and therefore increases harmony and health.
