What is love, an emotion, a feeling, or what? Love is who we are. We are love, at every moment, no matter what, even if we don’t feel it at that moment.

Love is a feeling, and it is also energy, both of which are part of us. The best way to feel it, is to give it. Actually giving love and receiving love is really the only way to feel love. Learning how to demonstrate your loving feelings appropriately and effectively is quite important.

So when we hear something or see someone that brings us that feeling that makes our heart flutter, we are giving love. We are in direct communication with the joy and love that exists within us. You may think they are giving love to you, and although that is very possible, the truth is that when you feel that, it’s you giving extending it forward. And a really interesting thing about that is, you are giving love to them, but also yourself.

So love is an emotion, a feeling because love is who and what you are! How awesome is that!

Our conditioned beliefs have taught us this is not the case. They have taught us that we lose our love when we give it away. They engrain within us the false belief that we are not lovable because someone or something has betrayed us or abused us in some way. Our environment conditions us to not trust; as a result our behavior becomes extremely controlling of others. It is time for you to realize the truth about the emotion of love, by realizing how you may have came to incorrectly define love based on a traumatic past. The more we give it, the more we feel it, the more we are it. It’s an experience of ourselves!

You are love, and you can choose to experience yourself as love by giving more of it. There is nothing to lose at all!

Try this experiment. Pick a tree to focus on. Give that tree love. Relax, feel the peace and allow love to really flow. Now see yourself in that tree.

What happens? You realize you are loving yourself! So you see, you are in everything and everyone!

We are all connected as there is an aspect, no matter how tiny, of us in each other. Believe it and you will know this experience, called love.

The same works for the opposite. When we refuse to give love to another, usually when we are in painful stress, we are refusing to love ourselves.

Now all of this changes a great deal how we view relationships. Many past romantic relationships, is one of the very reasons we find ourselves, frustrated and confused, which has caused us to question love and often ask, " love, is it an emotion, feeling or what"

This misconception and incorrect belief that you can "get" love from another, needs to be corrected before you will actually feel and know true love. You cannot “get” love from another.

You can only give love to another, and therefore to yourself. If you believe that you must get love from another person, place, thing, etc. then you are denying who you really are. You have no idea about love and whether love is it an emotion, feeling or what it is, because you are refusing to feel the true essence of yourself.

Choosing to get something usually denotes that you are lacking it. You cannot possibly be lacking love, other than in your own mind. How can you lack what you already are. In addition to that, love is all there is. There is no lack in love. So how can you possibly “get” what you already are?

One other thing, this is not to say that when you give love it has to be in any particular form.
We can express love through our feelings, body, energy, and all that, but it is never limited to those expressions.

You can give love simply by thinking about a person. Now, I wonder who said “absence makes the heart grow fonder”, because in a way it really does! For if you are thinking about them because you are not with them, and you are truly happy with this person, then you are giving more and more love!

Please note, that you do not have to choose to give or express love to anyone who continuously hurts, uses, abuses, mistreats, and so on. There is a way to forgive them through this process, but only when you are completely free from those situations. I will assist you with that process when the time is right; where you will learn, even to love those whom you choose not to have immediately around you, due to behaviors they have not addressed and/or healed yet. You can still learn how to love from a distance, but none-the-less it is still love.

Your confusion regarding, love is it an emotion, feeling or what....will be over. You will know beyond a shadow of a doubt, what love truly is!
