True Love In Action

We tend to relate to love like is a private inner feeling, an emotion only. And we can tend to feel that we need to protect this emotion of true love, keep it safe from rejection or being downplayed by others.

But what if true love was more like a beacon of light that was supposed to shine and illuminate the world around us? Instead of being hidden or kept safe, what if true love was meant to be translated into acts and expressions of love as often as possible?

What you may find is that love expressed and given freely is replenished easily. It is not something that needs to be kept inside and kept safe. When you feel true love, give it away, express it, act on it, and dont be attached to what you get back.

The point is to turn true love into expressed action in your life. Show it. Shine it from the rooftops. Express it directly.

What are some of the actions that can express true love? There are so many. Listening to your mate like your life depends on it. Giving the gift of truly listening to another is a definite expression of deep love. Turning off our own thoughts and focusing deeply on what another thinks and says is a generous, unselfish act that makes the other person feel important and nurtured.

Another expression of true love is simply direct eye contact with the object of our affection. Looking them right in the eye, drinking them in while they or we are talking. The eyes are the windows of the soul, and direct connection is powerful. Studies show that direct eye contact tends to fade over time in relationships. Keep it alive!

Then, of course, there is the direct action of touch. Not just in the bedroom, but find ways to touch out in the world. Hugs and/or resting a hand on their shoulder. People are often touch starved, so un-starve them!

Three simple ways to express true love. Listening. Looking. Touching. There are many more, but these are a good basic practice. Turn your true love into direct action, shine your light, and see what a difference it makes in the world.
