Many Ways to Say and Receive “I Love You”

By Nicola Lessing · On September 8, 2015

In early 2015, I attended a Sacred Esoteric Healing Level 3 workshop presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. I have attended this workshop many times before and every time I gain enormously and learn a lot.

One of the very empowering things that we develop in Sacred Esoteric Healing Level 3, is a deeper connection to our essence, and an understanding of the specific ways we express from our essence.

At one point we looked at how each of us would express “I love you”. It was presented that for many of us it is not a natural thing to express it in the form of only speaking the three words “I love you”, but we do so because we grow up learning this is what is expected and needed from friends and family to say it in that way.

Because it is not our naturally complete form of expression, even when we speak the words our loved ones do not receive all the love and feelings we are wanting to truly communicate to them, the three words are essentially only expressing or capturing a part of what our whole body is otherwise wanting to express from deeper within. In another example, often we can express our love in a gesture or simple action, instead of words, and our partners don’t recognise it, as they are looking to hear it or see it in a way they have been conditioned to receive it, and so, love-expressions can be missed or misunderstood.

It is very joyful to feel and acknowledge the many beautiful ways we can share and receive love with others.

This morning I was on my daily walk with my gorgeous husband Christoph when it started to rain. I was feeling a little tired and not able to walk very fast. As soon as it started to rain he insisted on giving me his hat to protect me. Then when the rain got heavier Christoph took off… ran ahead, went home, got the car and came zooming back to pick me up… even though by then I was only about 3 minutes away from home, enjoying the walk and the rain had stopped!

What I felt was his humongous love and how he wanted to take care of and protect his precious wife. To my ears this was Christoph shouting ‘I LOVE YOU’ from the rooftops with a megaphone. So of course I joyfully got in the car to be with this beautiful loving man.

I then imagined another scenario where I could have responded with anger and said ‘why did you run off?’ I could have said ‘you idiot I am almost home now, I want to keep walking and it is not even raining’. Then I would have missed out big time and he could have felt rejected, then reacted to that hurt and we would have missed that beautiful moment and might even have ended up having a fight.

It also occurred to me that many wars and fights could well (or rather unwell) come out of people not being open to love in its many forms and expressions and how completely crazy that is!

The more I am open to love and allow myself to receive it and express it, the more I see it everywhere… in myself, in others and in nature. I then start to see more clearly how everyone is pure love in essence, and when not expressing in this way it is because they are in reaction and protecting a hurt or imagined hurt – perhaps even from long, long ago.

Love is such a fascinating subject because it is ultimately something we all want but really all already are!

If you are interested in the energetic meaning of love, I highly recommend Unimedpedia Love which contain many beautiful quotes and free audio excerpts and can be accessed by clicking this link.

    Love can’t be captured in any words or form, as it’s endless and doesn’t respond to any picture

    Nicola you have said it all with these words
    ‘Love is such a fascinating subject because it is ultimately something we all want but really all already are!’
    And to be honest I have to wonder why it is that I stubbornly refuse to love myself even though I know I am a son of God I can feel there is a part of me that does not want to admit I made a mistake by choosing to enjoin a consciousness that keeps us all in the separation to God this makes no sense at all. But then why we decided in the first place to live in separation to the vibration of God makes no sense either I would say we have invented or created our own hell.

    OH SL

    “I highly recommend Unimedpedia Love,” because as like all words that empower us “Love” as in the temporal usage has many meanings so it is important to feel the true meaning that serves everyone equally and leaves no one behind, so Unimed Living (as in Unimedpedia) gives us many words that will evolve us when these words are truly used as it is shared on this web site.
    So go to, LOVE at;

    “Love is such a fascinating subject because it is ultimately something we all want but really all already are!”
    Yes so true – and when we surrender and feel that love inside we are a love bomb to all we meet.

      The only “bomb” that we should be making!

    ‘It also occurred to me that many wars and fights could well (or rather unwell) come out of people not being open to love in its many forms and expressions and how completely crazy that is!’ Yes – it is crazy Nicola. I have discovered for myself how much love I let in is a choice that depends on how much I let go of the need to control and how much I can love myself. If I can not surrender more deeply to myself, the love I can let in is capped. It is only as I am surrendering more that I am understanding the level at which I have capped myself and how this has affected my relationships.

      Michelle we are not taught the truth of true love, we are immersed instead into an emotional soup of false love and so the cycle repeats, generation after generation, fueled all the while by books, stories, films, songs, poems, a regurgitation of emotions so that is all we know and understand. But it is not the truth. It has taken someone who knows the truth inside out and back to front so there is no wriggle room for excuses to remind humanity what true love is so that at least there is a choice to return to our true nature or to stay in the emotional soup.

    Finding True-Love as opposed to emotionally (E) attached (A) love (L) is universes apart and even having the two in the same sentence can not deliver the vast difference for EAL is slippery and actually has zero, zilch, none and not one iota of True Love!

    Love comes from our movements and when you rush off so you can share a ride no amount of energy could take away from this True gesture of Love..

    I know, a bit crazy really, we all really want love, and yet we are love, ‘Love is such a fascinating subject because it is ultimately something we all want but really all already are!’

      It is a bit nuts therefore to reject it when it comes our way, especially when it reflects to us that love we already are.

      • Greg Barnes says: October 7, 2019 at 5:51 am

        Absolutely Michelle, finding True Love is simply removing what is not Love, so expanding what you have shared, our inner-hearts are full of Love.

    “The more I am open to love and allow myself to receive it and express it, the more I see it everywhere… in myself, in others and in nature.” A beautiful invitation to feel the boundless love of the Universe.

    For me the same here: my love to somebody often does not come from saying “I love you” but from doing things, like handing over a spoon or a blanket. Every act could be done with love, if we choose so.

    Reply
    • Nicola Lessing says: November 18, 2018 at 7:02 am

      Yes and often the most loving act can be in not doing something!

    We all express love in different ways, and so it is important to be open to receiving love in whatever way it is shared, ‘The more I am open to love and allow myself to receive it and express it, the more I see it everywhere… in myself, in others and in nature. I then start to see more clearly how everyone is pure love in essence’.

    It is strange to think that despite many couples communicating “I love you” to each other many times during their time together even in some cases each and every day, they are most likely still holding back love! Yes that’s right! And this causes a massive tension in the relationship because despite the fact of how much they love each other being known, it is not felt or lived on the level that it otherwise could be.

    • Nicola Lessing says: November 18, 2018 at 7:08 am

      This is because we hold back on truly loving and appreciating ourselves and receiving love (God) which is an energy that is constant and available to all of us everywhere. We cannot share and express what it is we do not live otherwise it is just empty words.

    So beautifully shared Nicola. Love in its true expression is always felt in the quality of movements through the vibration that is impulsing those movements or expression. For as you say the words ‘I love you’ may suggest love but the quality behind these words when expressed is what is truly being communicated and the truth is words are not even needed to express true love.

    • Nicola Lessing says: September 11, 2018 at 3:54 pm

      HI Carola, as you know you are my favourite singer and the quality and vibration of your voice is pure heaven (love) so you are well qualified to say and sing what you have shared.

    I loved re-reading this and what occurred to me was that sometimes the words I want to express seem inadequate to what I feel inside about someone.

      How lovely to come across your comment and read this blog on 14th August 2018 which is the 25th Anniversary of my marriage to Christoph. You are right there are no words to express the love and appreciation I have for this gorgeous man and what we are able to live and share together not just for us but everyone.

    We all have our own unique way of expressing love, so it is important to read and feel all the expressions of another, otherwise we may miss out on the love being shared with us.

    ‘Love is such a fascinating subject because it is ultimately something we all want but really all already are!’ It is only when we realise that we are already love and feel that in our bodies that we can start to really let go of the needs and wants around being loved by someone else.
