"I love you"...so easily said, yet, very few of us really understand love for what it is.
Love to some, is what you feel for a child, spouse or parent. To others, it is that tingly sensation when touching a lover for the first time, or the butterflies you feel at the pit of your stomach when he or she looks at you in a certain way. For most of us, love often 'hurts'.
When it 'hurts', it is not love. Love cannot hurt. Love is not a feeling. The 'feeling' of 'love' is something else entirely. Think about it: if you feel 'love', you feel a warm sensation in your chest; and when you 'hurt', you feel a nagging pain-like sensation in the same area - your chest. This also applies to excitement or fear, felt in the pit of the stomach; or when repressing sadness & anger, felt as 'pain' in the throat. Interestingly, these all coincide with the chakra or energy foci of the body (which in turn, coincide with local important neuro-endocrine structures) as well as to their attributes: according to ancient yoga and Tantric texts; the 'heart' chakra is the centre of expressing love and gratitude; the solar plexus chakra is the centre for motivation and ambition; and the throat chakra the centre for communicative expression. It seems then that - as the eyes, ears and other three senses of the body senses the physical universe around us from light to sound - the chakras sense more subtle energies. As we experience the narrow window of electro-magnetism (from 400 to 700 nm) & pressure differences in air (from 20 to 20 000Hz) as 'sight' and 'sound'; so we experience this sensing of subtle energies as 'emotion'.
Then just what IS love?
What we call 'love' is subtle energy flow from one being to another. When a person has the intention of absolute benevolence toward another being (from plant to person), subtle energy flows from the enfolded or 'spiritual' dimension through mind. This flow will be sensed as 'love' by your cardiac energy focus or chakra. The receiver of this benevolent energy (if sensitive enough) will also sense it with the same chakra, and respond accordingly to this 'positive' energy. When someone does the opposite, thus retrieve or take energy from another being or person; this will be felt as 'hurt'. This phenomenon can also be seen in water-crystal formation (as researchers Dr. Masaru Emoto et al. has shown).
Love is thus GIVE & RECEIVE; not TAKE. When you hug someone because you want to be loved, then you TAKE and do not GIVE. This is why so many will pull away from your hug: they can sense you TAKING from them. Love is when you hug someone to GIVE. Love is when your partner leaves you for another person; and you - instead of going on a rampage, destroying everything in your path due to a jealous rage - you let him or her go, and are happy for them. Yes, of course you will be sad and miss them; but love is letting go when the time is so. You are giving back to the universe this person that you shared a life with; and in return, you will receive something far greater when the time is right.
Can you do this? Do you love your partner, child or friend this much?
Love is subtle vibration from within, flowing through a beautiful mind. Anything else...is not.
