“Love is part of creation, woven into the very fabric of the universe. We love one another because we have tapped into nature at a deeper level. The brain gives love its physical expression, yet ultimately, love comes from the soul.”
— DEEPAK CHOPRA

Love feels great! Whether feeling love for your puppy, child, friend, or partner, a rush of feel-good chemicals flood the body.

Take 30 seconds. Close your eyes and imagine how you feel for the person you love most. Breathe in their scent. Exhale stresses of the day. Imagine their smile. Feel how it relaxes you.

What did you notice? A gentle feeling of well-being? Relaxation? According to Harvard and Psychology Today, the feelings of love trigger brain chemistry that heals us. Healthline calls love’s hormones, “oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin our ‘happy hormones.’”

• Oxytocin helps us relax, improves our mood and memory, and feel greater trust, according to Healthline.

• Dopamine is the reward chemical that produces pleasure and addiction, motivation, and euphoria. It reduces pain. WebMD says that increased dopamine helps improve “learning, sleep, blood vessel and kidney function.”

• Endorphins help us relax and better deal with stress. “Endorphins are considered natural painkillers.”

• Serotonin is the key hormone that stabilizes our mood, feelings of well-being, and happiness. It enables brain cells and other nervous system cells to communicate with each other. Serotonin also helps with sleeping, eating, and digestion. And, it wards off depression.

• Norepinephrine helps the body respond to stress and exercise by providing energy and focus. It regulates sleep. Norepinephrine and serotonin work together to combat antidepressant effects, according to Hormone.org.

All this research tells you what you innately know. Love makes you feel good. Those feel-good chemicals cause you to think better, feel better, and see the world in a better light.

Expressing love

We learn how to express love as children and often view love as “good” through that lens. It’s easy to get discouraged when people don’t respond to our loving efforts. Perhaps your “love” is different from what the other person expects or has learned. Gary Chapman’s The 5 Love Languages can open your eyes to the “Why?”. Take the free test here to learn how you use the languages of love.

• Words of Affirmation: Do you express appreciation, encouragement, and compliment others?

• Gifts: What gifts do you give?

• Acts of service: Do you take on others chores or serve others?

• Quality time: Are your conversation uninterrupted? Do you invest time with loved ones?

• Physical touch: Do you touch others and use open body language?

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF EACH HEALING. YOU WILL FEEL UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPTED AS YOU ARE. HEALING TRANSMUTES THOSE FEELINGS OF SHAME OR LESS THAN INTO LOVE FOR YOURSELF AND THE WORLD AROUND YOU.
