Love of parent to child and child to parent.

Love of siblings.

Love of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins.

Love of Friends.

Love of Teachers.

Love of Pets……..

What do all these have in common? 

YOU FEEL- open, relaxed, warm & happy. 

Right?  That is because LOVE is flowing FROM YOU.  When LOVE is flowing FROM YOU, you cannot feel closed, tight or frightened.  LOVE is the opposite of FEAR.  Though you do not realize it, you control when and how you feel love.

If you are feeling fear, then YOUR LOVE is closed off. 

How do you change from FEAR back to LOVE?  You simply change your autonomic nervous system from ‘fight or flight’ to ‘relaxation and growth’:

1)  Change the focus of your attention to something calming and pleasant.

2)  Change your physical state- by diaphragmatic breathing, alternate nostril breathing and/or tapping meridian points.

WOW!!  I can feel LOVED simply by changing MY physical state?    And it’s all up to ME? 

ABSOLUTELY YES!  Most of us think that love comes from others and we have no control over it.  This is definitely not true.  In fact, it is completely backwards.

Can you actually KNOW what the object of your love is feeling? 

NO.  You have learned to interpret others’ behavior to mean ‘love’ or ‘not love’ but you can never have first hand knowledge of how anyone else feels.  NEVER.   You don’t actually feel LOVE coming to you from another.  What you feel is your love flowing TO another.

YOU ONLY FEEL YOUR LOVE FLOWING TO ANOTHER. 

Can this mean that I WILL FEEL LOVED whenever I GIVE LOVE?

Yes, it does.  If you feel unloved or unlovable, it is because you have turned your love flow off.  It is not the other person, it is YOU.

How can I turn MY love flow back on? 

 You simply change your autonomic nervous system from ‘fight or flight’ to ‘relaxation and growth’:

1)  Change the focus of your attention to something calming and pleasant.

2)  Change your physical state- by diaphragmatic breathing, alternate nostril breathing and/or tapping meridian points.

How do we find love?  Do we look for it?  In America we always set our goal, develop the plan and implement the plan.  That is great when it works.  More often we discover it didn’t work so we  change the plan, implement, change the plan, implement….  Why not just skip the deciding how things ‘should be’ step altogether?

If we decide how life SHOULD be (for us to be happy) all we have done is set ourselves up for UNHAPPINESS if anything different happens.  Trust me, something else always happens at some point.

What if we focus on learning to accept what is in this moment (since we really have no choice since it is already here, right?).

Compare  {What should be} <——-to——-> {what is}                                      The difference is your DISTRESS.

Which part can you change?  Yes, your expectation of what SHOULD BE.  Oh my, if I manage my expectations, I could be HAPPY???

More to come.

More fundamental than religion is our basic human spirituality. We have a basic human disposition towards love, kindness and affection, irrespective of whether we have a religious framework or not. When we nurture this most basic human resource – when we set about cultivating those basic inner values which we all appreciate in others, then we start to live spiritually.

The basic foundation of humanity is compassion and love. This is why, if even a few individuals simply try to create mental peace and happiness within themselves and act responsibly and kind-heartedly towards others, they will have a positive influence in their community.

What would it be like if we could practice coming from Christ’s place of compassion for each other– especially when we are so afraid that we hurt each other?

Then we could be called Christians. ]]> http://connectionsbodymind.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=159 0 http://connectionsbodymind.com/blog/?p=155 http://connectionsbodymind.com/blog/?p=155#comments Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:48:20 +0000 Connections of BodyMind http://connectionsbodymind.com/blog/?p=155 Continue reading →]]> Meridian Tapping Therapies are a modern method used to instantly relieve anxiety, reduce other emotional distress, and eliminate phobias. I have condensed and simplified techniques from many systems to form Emotional Release Tapping (ERT).  It works through the same meridian system as acupuncture, but no needles are needed.  The points are stimulated by your finger tapping gently on the point.

The meridian lines are maps of the subtle energy flows through the body identified by the Chinese more than 4,000 years ago.  When there is a disruption in this flow, a person experiences negative emotions, stress, and/or physical symptoms.  Tapping the points in specific sequences eliminates the disturbances and restores the optimal flow of energy.

This system is simple to learn, completely portable and convenient to use anywhere.  Once you learn the simple sequences of points to tap, all you need are your fingertips to stimulate the points!

If only everyone could…
