The Healing Impact of Love in Its Purest Form
Hi, I hope this note finds you in warmth and good cheer as we enter our season of thanks and giving. As a species, we relish the warmth of connection—sharing time, food, laughter, and peace of mind. In those moments when we can sink, non-verbally, into the arms or shoulder of a loved one, we find rest and restorative sleep. Our minds settle from the day’s chaos, our body temperature self-regulates, and our breathing slows. Interestingly, studies have shown that our immune system benefits from these deep levels of connection.
Unveiling the Mystery of Love’s Profound Impact
What is it about this type of energy frequency that profoundly affects our lives? And here is an ironic truth: compared to many remedies, this profound healing is free. I have highlighted before the power of the invisible and perhaps sacred energy we call LOVE. This energy of connection, intimacy, vulnerability, and at the same time, strength, is best given away and enjoyed reciprocally. It is given best unconditionally, bringing forgiveness, letting go, patience, and endless adoration.
These concepts, though desired at a human level, can be challenging to experience and cumbersome to sustain due to the judgmental, critical, and impatient nature of the human mind. However, this energy has been discussed for thousands of years in sacred texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, the Koran, the Torah, and the Holy Bible. Some describe God as LOVE or the God of LOVE; others say all LOVE comes from divine purity. These concepts often get confused with religion when discussing pure unconditional love.
“Pets offer us their affection endlessly and without conditions, showing forgiveness and patience without holding grudges.”
How Our Pets Mirror the Best of Us
As a pet lover, I know, as many of you do, that our pets meet all the above criteria. They offer us unconditional love, appreciate receiving it but prefer to give it endlessly. They are quick to forgive, moving on to the next moment of kindness and patience. They hold no grudges or resentments. If you don’t feel like walking them, they will just wait, loving you through that moment as if it were the perfect thing to do. They only see the best in us because true love makes the imperfect, perfect.
This energy from our pets, whether they are birds, cats, dogs, goldfish, snakes, or hamsters, is pure and often brings a pleasant smile to our faces. We want to love them back for all they give, which is a true healing of our souls.
With all that said, let us take the time and energy to give back a little of what these beautiful creatures offer us and love them endlessly.
