True Love Advice - Expressing Love

by Johnnie S Laney

We all can relate to true love in a private way, as just an inner
emotion. We can also try to keep it safe by keeping it inside, hiding
it from the object of our love. It can feel vulnerable and risky to
show it openly to the object of our affection.

However, what if you related to your true love like a beacon or
lighthouse? A light or radiance to be shined and spread as often as
you could? Something to be given fully rather than held inside, to
light the world around us? An emotion best turned into as many
loving acts 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.

True love is best replenished by expressing it into direct action. If
you are fortunate enough to feel some true love, find ways to express
it directly. Show it off, shine it's light into your world.

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 great way to express true love is looking. Yes, looking!
Look them right in the eye, drink them in while conversing. Direct
eye connection is a powerful acknowledgment. Research has shown that
simple direct eye contact diminishes over time in relationships.
Don't let that happen. Show your true love with this simple practice!

And then of course a powerful expression of true love is touch. Not
just sexual touch, but outside the bedroom. Just brushing their arm,
giving hugs, these are direct expressions of affection that touch the
heart easily.

Theres a lot more to expressing love, but listening, looking and
touching are always a good foundation. Dont keep the light of your
love under a bushel basket. Take it off and let it shine as often as
you can, and see what a difference in makes in your " and our " world.

True Love In Expression

by Johnnie S Laney

We all can relate to true love in a private way, as just an inner
emotion. We can also try to keep it safe by keeping it inside, hiding
it from the object of our love. It can feel vulnerable and risky to
show it openly to the object of our affection.

But what if you looked at love like a lighthouse? A beacon to
illuminate not just our life but the life of others? What if true
love was meant to be given away as much as possible? A feeling that
is supposed to be expressed in direct actions as often as we could, to
light up the world around us?

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.

So the insight here is to encourage you to turn love into action as
often as possible. Express it. Give it away. Show your true love.
It needs to be shouted from the rooftops rather than kept safe in the
basement.

How can you do this? There are many ways, but one good way is to
listen. Listen to your mate or love like your life depends upon it.
Focus completely on what they are saying. Listening in this way is a
powerful gift to give to another person. Making them feel heard and
understood when they share with you is a very generous and nurturing
act.

Another powerful way to turn true love into action is with direct eye
contact. Drink them in, looking them right in the eye, as you
converse. The eyes are the windows to the soul. Amazingly, studies
show that direct eye contact fades in relationships over time. Don't
just look at the area of the eyes, make direct eye contact and see how
that feels for you and your mate.

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!

Express true love with these simple actions. Listen. Look. Touch.
There are many more ways to turn your love and light into action, but
this is a powerful foundation. Shine your light of love into the
world and see what difference it can make for everyone around you.

Relationship Help - Learning About Love

by Johnny S Laney

We are lucky enough to get into a relationship and find true love and
intimacy. It feels great. We tend to think we should be able to keep
it once we find it, right?

Then we find out that it doesn't work that way. Intimacy and true
love is a dynamic process, not a static emotion. Our feelings of
closeness and love with our mate ebb and flow with feelings of
irritation, disappointment, upset and indifference.

Most of us adults discover that it is easier to fall in love than to
actually stay in love. What, then, can we do to have more true love?

This is a complex topic worthy of the tons of books written about it,
but there are some good guidelines to follow. You've already made a
good step if you have realized that love is not like some medal you
get pinned on your chest that you get to keep. Love is dynamic and
will change.

If you can appreciate that truth, then you can understand this next
one. Relationships are an inquiry into loving. They are an ongoing
opportunity to learn about how intimacy works and what gets in the way
of it.

So, keep learning about love in your relationship. One of the things
you can learn is to be an adult, not a child, when it comes to love.
The honeymoon phase or oceanic love phase of relationships or
marriages will wear off. None of us get to keep it like a medal or
award in a chest somewhere. And when it wears off, that's when you
get to learn about love.

Learning to truly love is learning a lot about yourself and life. One
thing you will need to learn is Acceptance. Accepting your mate for
who they are, not your fantasy infatuated ideal of who they are.

Leaving aside the ideal image we had of them when we first fell in
love and accepting them as real human beings is true love in action.
Not giving up on love because we don't feel deep intimacy at all times
is learning to truly love. Not expecting our mate to fill all of our
inner emptiness and keep us unendingly happy is a start to adult love.
There's much more to it, but this is a start.
