THE POWER OF LOVE

Love shifts our perception of things. Miracles occur inside us when love reaches in and stirs our souls. Its light then shines upon our lives, totally changing them. Emotional pain is at the root of many illnesses, but it can be cured with love. Therefore, love has the power to heal our physical/mental conditions, too.

The most obvious place to experience love is in relationships – either with family, friends, or a romantic partner. We all need relationships because they are the foundation for our experience of life. Without them, life has less meaning.

If you were all alone in the Universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life? We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth.

As we experience love, we also experience healing of the mind, emotions, and body. Stress, which accelerates disease of mind and body, will fade away and be replaced with gratitude and a deep reverence for all forms of life. And from that space, if there is anything practical that we need to do in order to facilitate any physical healing, we are perfectly suited to do it, with more energy, vibrancy, and motivation at our fingertips than ever before.

Love enhances us. It makes us so much more. With it we become who we have always wanted to become, and our loved ones are able to see in us much more than we see when we look in the mirror. From that space, we expand into ourselves.

Love is both the most complex thing imaginable and also the simplest: it allows us to learn what we should and shouldn’t do, what is best, and how deal with the emotions of those we care deeply for. These things can be tricky, but when we make a choice that’s based in love, the right solution is always simple.

Also we can experience love in different ways, by showing kindness to stranger, smiling at someone on the street, or allowing someone to pull out ahead of you on the road while driving. Notice how you feel when you do these things. The more you do them, the more they will affect you – and it will become easier for your soul to illuminate your path and show compassion and gratitude.
