How to I EM

I EM is a community, a tribe. Since we don’t live on the same piece of land together, we have to be able to recognize each other. We’re wearing a sign, this can be a lot of things; a bracelet, a bag, a pin, a hat, a shirt. It’s just a start, we’ll be developing more and more signs. Eventually a sign shouldn’t be necessary anymore of course. The world will be one big tribe living lovingly. Until then, we need to get it out there!

So, if you’re I EM and you know it, don’t be afraid to show it ;).

Living I EM means being open, honest, with genuine attention, respectful and interested. It’s about meeting people practicing these traits. To ask and listen before you speak, to refrain from judging, to converse even, no especially (!), when opinions collide. It means to respect choices others make, to care for and be cared for, to speak about what’s on your mind and heart and knowing someone is there for you.

It means making an effort. Every day. You’re not perfect, neither EM I. That’s okay, just make an effort. It all comes down to share & care. Through that, we’ll be able to connect (again).

Share

To share means sharing yourself. Your mind and heart, your joys and your pains. Knowing you will not be judged and someone will be there for you. You have yourself to give. It also means sharing your resources because WE all deserve a good life; donate to charity, get to volunteering, reduce your footprint. It can really be anything and it will be different for everybody. Share your experience and knowledge too, someone might be in need of it.

Care

Selfcare is vital. We’ve forgotten how to. Learn to do it. Learn to feel what you need. Care for yourself so you’ll be able to care for others as well. And our earth. Just genuinely care and be mindful about your life, that of others and the way we treat our earth. Practice caring, get better at it. You will feel better. And you will make others feel better.

How to I EM

Living I EM, sharing and caring, will make us connect again. With ourselves (when did you last really feel how you were feeling?) and with one another. Through this we will sow love. Where love grows, hate can’t exist. Let’s go!

Through the I EM tribe, we’ll be able to heal the world and humanity. Want to know how? You already know, I bet you have stories. All of our stories make the I EM tribe. I EM can be applied to every aspect of life.

We’ve made a start on examples and stories. We know together we’ll be able to come up with more. Will you help us grow?
