Sending Love
What does that mean… sending love?
How does one “send love”?
How do you even describe love?
Last summer I had a rather… passionate discussion with someone about what “love” is. She described love as an action. As in showing love by “doing”. When you love someone you “do” things for them. I asked her what about when you aren’t “doing” anything… do you still love that person? Do they feel they aren’t being loved because there isn’t an action to see, feel or experience? She asked me how I described love. I said it was an energy. She didn’t quite understand. I said, “it is an emotion that we “feel” in our body, there is an actual “feeling” that we experience, a sensation, and that is energy”.
Every single emotion that we have… we FEEL! When we feel sad, it feels heavy, slow, dragging. When we feel happy it feels light, airy, free. When we feel anger it feels sharp, tight, jagged. When we feel resentment it feels deep, ugly, oppressive. So what does love feel like? Think about something you love. Something you have deep unconditional love for. Could be a spouse, child, pet, friend… whatever, just think about that person or thing, and how it actually FEELS…IN YOUR BODY. Now how would you describe THAT feeling? When I think about the people in my life that I love, it literally makes my heart swell. My heart expands and glows, radiating out to my whole body. There is a feeling of complete peace and connectedness with everything.
If emotions are energy, do you think it is possible to “feel” it in other people? Have you ever been around anyone angry, and literally felt the anger come off them in waves? What about those who constantly complain? The bitterness, and resentment, doesn’t feel good to be around does it? Now think about being around happy, grateful people. It feels good doesn’t it? We gravitate to those people because we FEEL that energy too! What if… we hung out from a feeling place of love? Think about it… what if… we thought about what we loved, held that energy, and then lived from that place? What do you think would happen to the people you were around when you lived in that energy?
We are the rock, dropped into the middle of our lake of infinity. We create the ripples of energy that move out FROM US… those ripples of energy touch everyone and everything we think about and come into contact with. Energy moves thru time and space, there are no walls that can keep it out. Our thoughts and emotions are ENERGY. So… what kind of ripples are you creating and sending out?
Let’s go back to the energy of love and the original question, “how can I send love”? What if….you thought about something you loved, truly and unconditionally, felt your heart expand and grow, imagined beautiful rays of brilliant bright sparkling light radiating out from your heart, then imagined that other person receiving that beautiful ball of loving light energy into their heart, and just held that image, and FELT THE LOVE? What if… it is actually that easy to send love? What would YOUR world look like if all the ripples came from a place of love?
