There are many things that we love as humans having our human experience. We love people, we love things, and we also love experiences.
Take, for example, how you love a baby who is part of your family. That baby might be your niece, your son, or your grandaughter. Most people have had the experience of feeling love when that baby is in the room or when they just think of that baby.
What is causing this beautiful emotional state we call love?
Is it triggered by natural chemicals and hormones in the brain? Oxytocin is one of the big ones that is activated when we show love and kindness to someone. Is it because the baby is from your family, and you feel an automatic duty to love them? Or is it because you are magically put under their spell?
I propose that the answer lies in the last reason. Something magical is going on, and babies prove it!
You feel love when you are in the presence of that baby. You don’t love the baby, per se. What do I mean?
When your heart is open as opposed to closed, emotions and experiences come through you like a stream of light. Every now and then, if you are lucky, you really feel happy or euphoric by something like seeing a person, seeing a sunset, smelling a fragrance or thinking of a pleasant memory. In that instant, your heart was open!!
Your heart was unobstructed at that moment in time. This is why Love was allowed to enter your being and make you happy.
Babies are the ultimate trigger to make a person’s heart open! Prove me wrong. In other words, you feel love when you are in the presence of that baby.
So, work on keeping your heart open to have a wonderful experience of life. Don’t insist on things being perfect or turning out the way you wanted. Be in the moment like the baby is and make the most of the joy it brings.
This is the way.
I just explained why grandparents often remark how much they love their grandkids! It’s not because they get to give them back to their parents after a visit. It’s simply magic!
Babies are the ultimate heart-openers. Let this inspire your inner child to smile and be happy more often.
Live Awesome!
