John Lennon had it right. It has been scientifically proven that Love is all you need. Love is in our DNA. We are created to be cooperative and compassionate. The Institute of Heart Math has been researching how WE are made and how WE affect our environment. Their studies reveal how our thoughts create the results we have in our life.
I’m sure you’ve heard of the phrase “What you think about is what you create.” You might know what each of those words means, but do you really know what the phrase means? Imagine a group of people all feeling and thinking about the same result. For instance, after 911, it was scientifically proven that the world had a huge spike in “compassion”. Do you remember how most people were respectful and kindness was shared throughout the world, especially in the US? People excused themselves, drivers were more likely to let you in, and people connected in a way that had not happened for a long time.
There was also a study, initiated by law enforcement, done in a northwestern state (I believe Oregon), in a high-crime area. I’m not sure about the specifics at this time, however, there were something like 1000 experienced mediators who meditated on peace at the same time every day for 30 days. After the pre-determined period of time, it was recorded how much the crime rate went down. It was a significant decrease. In other words, when a group of people all focus on the same result, it becomes reality.
What inspired me to write this blog is the documentary “I Am” by Tom Shadyac, who was a very rich filmmaker. An article written about him was: “Tom Shadyac Had It All and Gave It Away”. You can Google it and see what he is all about… or watch his documentary “I Am”. He created this documentary because he wanted to know what was wrong with the world and what he could do about it. It comes down to us – what we think and how we are being.
With all this in mind and as I watched the documentary, I experienced strong emotions that overwhelmed me. Emotions of love and compassion, sadness and sorrow all mixed together.
I’m wondering what is going on with me? I’ve been practicing a new release method and it appears one of the results is my sensitivity to life itself. I’ve been more open and allowing myself to feel my deeper emotions. As I am around my friends and associates, I now feel their pain deeper than ever before. I share with them tools to change and yet they still suffer because they are not using the tools. I know they will use them when they are ready. However, I still want to grab them and say, “If only you knew you can be happy!” But they aren’t ready to hear me yet.
It comes down to “LOVE”. Love is the answer. I have been saying this for years. I teach people how to release the negative emotions that keep them in a state of confusion, chaos, stress, and frustration. I share with them “All you need is love.” Love yourself first, then you can love everyone else.
