We’ve all heard different definitions of love. People tell you, “This is love,” or “That is love.” We grow up absorbing these ideas—thinking love is an action, a feeling, or something we give and receive through certain behaviors. But what if love isn’t just about actions or feelings?

Love, at its core, is energy.

You might go through the motions of what someone calls “love,” but without the true energy of love behind it, you’re only performing an action. Think about it: how many times have you tried to show love, but something felt… missing? Or perhaps someone told you they love you, but you didn’t feel it. They may have done something to “show love,” but the energy of love wasn’t there, leaving you feeling disconnected.

Why Does Love Hurt Sometimes?

For some, love can feel like a source of pain, which seems contradictory since love is supposed to be the opposite of hurt. “Your love hurts,” we might hear someone saying. But why does it happen?

• When someone says, “I love you,” what they may really be saying is, “I expect you to do this or not do that,” and you unconsciously take on those expectations, even though they don’t align with what you truly want.
• “Love” becomes a form of control. “I love you, so I have your best interests at heart. Therefore, you must do what I say.” This is especially common in parental dynamics.
• Love feels like a set of rules—ones you made up or that others imposed—that now confine you, making you feel trapped.
• You and the person you love may have different ideas of love, and when your needs go unmet or a wound gets triggered, the experience feels far from loving.

In my experience, the idea of “love” on Earth has become clouded by expectations, obligations, control, and unhealed wounds. People often don’t take responsibility for their own needs, and artificial social constructs around love are unconsciously carried from family, culture, and past experiences.  These distortions can make love feel like a burden or a source of pain instead of the pure, freeing energy it truly is.

Receiving Pure Love Energy (Download Below)

Through this article, I’m offering you an energy transmission—a direct download of the pure energy of love. What makes this pure energy? It’s free from the mental chatter, conditions, or baggage that we often associate with love. It’s not tied to thoughts like, “If you love me, you must do this,” or “Love means this.”

This pure energy of love is simply what it is—free of expectations and preconceived notions.

To experience this, swipe both your hands down the length of the graphic below —first one hand, then the other. As you do, imagine receiving this energy, fully and purely. You’re not conjuring it up; it’s being transmitted to you, free of all the noise and past conditioning around love.



Take your time. Let this energy settle into your being as you continue swiping.

But Is Love Just Silent Inaction?

No. Love isn’t about doing nothing. When you’re connected to this pure energy, you may find yourself moved to take action—but this action comes from the energy of love itself, not from ideas in your mind or wounds from the past. It’s not about forcing yourself to do something because you think you should. Instead, it’s about responding to the movement of love within you.

Pause for a moment. Notice any changes in how you feel. This isn’t about forcing a feeling—it’s about receiving.

Reflection Time:

• Have you ever acted out love without feeling it?
• Can you sense this new energy flowing into you now?
• How does your body respond when you allow yourself to simply receive love, without expectations or conditions?

If you’re open to it, swipe your hands down the picture again. Allow yourself to go deeper into the experience of love.
