Introduction

KEY PERSPECTIVE & AN EXPERIMENT

I see love as part of our inherent nature.  


Judgments, criticisms, worries, fears, unforgiveness -  I have found that these types of negativity can block us from experiencing our center, our enthusiasm, our love, our spirit, our soul - however we recognize it.


    

  *** Our Loving Nature  ***


As an experiment, focus on someone or something that brings up loving feelings inside you.  It may be a child, spouse, pet, beautiful scene in nature, music, art, favorite vacation spot, etc.  If you have conflicting feelings for someone (e.g. currently feeling irritated with the person), please choose someone else. For about a minute, focus on those feelings of your love for someone or something.

 

Now - what does that feel like in your body?  Focus for a few seconds.  What are you experiencing in your body?  Common responses are: sensations of warmth, relaxation, softness, peace. 


In contrast, when you have felt angry or worried,  what did that feel like in your body?  Common responses are tension, tight muscles, headaches, stomach acid, stressed.  


My conclusion is that my body is telling me to move out of the negative areas, and to spend my time as much as possible in positive, loving energy.


**********************************************


Our physical being seems to be reflecting a core message that being positive and loving may be our natural, healthy state, inherent in our make-up.   


Medical research seems to confirm this as it shows that positive thoughts and feelings enhance health through endorphins, while prolonged negative ones can stimulate stress hormones. 

    

I see the body as a reflection of our center, our spirit, our soul - being grounded in loving.  The body also is a link for experiencing our spirituality - through breathing, chanting, etc.  


Integrating the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of your life.
