Expressing and extending love is not just about verbalizing it, but also embodying it through our actions and intentions. It's about nurturing and growing the love within us and towards others, rather than trying to suppress or extinguish it. Releasing and bearing witness with a loving heart allows us to acknowledge and connect with our emotions, rather than ruminating or reliving experiences. Additionally, expressing love for something or someone allows us to experience those feelings from a healthy distance.

I mean , you'll just keep feeling it for longer , you're making the story bigger . Um But again , it's just energy that wants to move and sometimes it moves recursively and sometimes it , it vamooses , it's so good .

We are not , we are more than often ruminating and reliving or reliving the experience . We are feeding the very emotions we're trying to extinguish with time , energy and attention . OK .

OK . And that just makes it grow larger and loom larger . So you want to go to the body , notice what you're feeling , focus on the experience of feeling it and do so without judgment .
