Couples Corner - June 2005

Family and Friends
I have just been through an emotional roller coaster. One that most of us may go through from time to time especially those of us who live away from home – saying goodbye to those we love. My husband, Tony, and I have just left Hong Kong after a second visit of over two years and the wrench of leaving dear friends was immense. I have lived overseas a lot of my life so I have said good bye a great number of times but I haven’t become hardened to the wrench to my heart that occurs we I separate from a person to whom I have become attached. When we love someone we create energetic and emotional cords between us – from our heart centres that are energy centres in the centre of our chests. Leaving pulls those “heart strings” and causes pain so heart ache or a broken heart is a genuine feeling of pain. This is why separating from a loved one is such a painful experience. However, the pain of parting was partly healed for we had an extremely heart warming experience on our return to England as we were welcomed by our entire family and some close friends who had gathered to give us a surprise party. So I left crying and I arrived crying caused by the overwhelming feeling of the love that surrounds me! This welcome was incredibly healing as it reminded us of the love that is here too and stopped us hankering for the love we were leaving. It reinforced the message of how important it is to demonstrate and express our love to family and friends as it is the most healing thing we can do and the greatest gift we can offer.
