Approach it from a different angle. Love is an state and emotion, elusive and difficult to describe, though the mind tirelessly tries. Humans have written book after book, explored it from every imaginable perspective, analysed it with science and art alike. And yet, have we truly come any closer to defining it? Beyond the soft warmth in the chest, a quiet calm, a sense of knowing—some still, wordless bliss that needs no explanation?
What if, instead of trying to define love with words or seeking a logical explanation, you simply felt into it? What if you let go of the need to understand it mentally and turned toward the heart instead? Practices like Metta meditation or gentle body scanning with love as a healing intention aren’t about logic, they’re about presence.
Why not give yourself a break, soften a little, be kinder to yourself, and flow with the subliminal instead? Not everything needs to be wrapped in words.
- How could you possibly describe sitting in stillness, watching the most beautiful sunset?
- Or holding your new-born child for the first time?
- Or resting in deep meditation, beyond thought, immersed in pure awareness?
- How do you describe that quiet inner knowing, that feeling of being safe, held, and deeply cared for?
And lastly… can you just be more loving to everyone around you? Can you lend a loving hand to someone without any ulterior motive, to just be kind and loving for no logical reason other than it’s a nice feeling to give and receive love?
