Usually love is understood as the emotional bond with another person, or things or living beings. Such bonds include a lot of stuff. Some of it can easily be mistaken as love but eventually distort it.
Within this manuscript the term love is meant to be the frequency of love rather than the emotion.
It is not about sending someone love or receiving it in return. It is about the state of being love which we attain or the frequency of love we go into resonance with. Everyone can create this state of being internally without somebody's external help.
Maybe people or animals surrounding us are enabling us to attain this state of being very easily or they enhance the state with their frequency field of love. That is wonderful but not a prerequisite for everyone doing it on their own.
From this state of love self love arises which means being loving to oneself, affectionately watching the own thoughts, the own feelings and emotions, and all that is there. Including caringly watching one's own anger, hate, or fear, as well as base motives and such things alike. Love is the key to resolve self-recrimination or hardship against oneself.
In order to enhance the frequency field of love we can use stones, e.g. wearing a suitable pendant for the day or for a certain situation which feels comfortable. For example, a rose quartz enhances the loving heart energy.
Eventually we are asked to attain the state of love over and over again despite living in very challenging conditions, even if things around us are anything but peaceful.
To regather one's strengths it is useful to create such opportunities accordingly. For example by consciously taking the time and leisure to do so or consciously either create or find places of power to go to when necessary. Connecting with nature is most beneficial, can reactivate the frequency field of love and a lot more.
Sometimes a nap is all we need in order to regather our strength.
If we are tired, it can occasionally be quite difficult to forcefully
maintain the state of love against existing contradicting patterns.
In such a case it might be helpful to just relax and let go without
acting. This might then lead to things reregulating themselves.
