An older doctor was giving a lecture to medical students. “Love is the strongest and safest medicine!” He concluded. “What if does not work?” whimsically asked a student “You increase the dose.” Answered the old wise doctor.
While love may be experienced as emotion by our mind, our body’s amazingly complex functions are supported by the energy of love. It is the energy of love that support our body’s continuous self-healing. Our intentional self- care aligns with that love sustaining self-healing process. The self-healing care happening every moment in the mind-body-spirit continuum is depends on the principle of love. That why self-care requires that we are aware and cultivate the energy of love by expressing it characteristics; compassion, gratitude, good will towards others and the nature.
The challenge is in realizing love in us when our mind is continuously clouded with reexperience of trauma. Then we tend to look for love outside of us, using relationships, possessions, religions. Ironically, we may be unknowingly attracting disease in order to experience love from others or as a breakthrough to awareness of our own love.
There are countless ways to realization of love inside of us we have to be busy to find our own way a condition of self-healing care.
What is your path to realization of self-love. I would love to hear from you.
