Surely you know the feeling when you are in love? Love goes through several phases from the first infatuation to a deep feeling of true love.
🧡Stage 1: Infatuation: during this stage, the "feel-good" chemical DOPAMINE is released. A euphoric neurotransmitter that is also released in drugs and addictions.
🧡Stage 2 : The sweaty, nervous, heart-pounding rush: The ADRENALGLAND releases ADRENALIN, EPNEPHRIN, NOREPNEPHRIN. NOREP keeps us infatuated and possessed.
🧡Stage 3: The Fall: The limbic reward system keeps us thinking about the other person. Constantly. This can feel like "being addicted".
🧡Stage 4: The Pink Tones. Our fear and warning system goes to sleep. This clouds our judgement, for example, about lying.
🧡Stage 5: The bonding or attachment hormone: oxytocin is released by the hypothalamus when our attachment deepens. This hormone is secreted by animal and human mothers, after birth, when breastfeeding, when cuddling, etc.Oxytocin builds trust and attachment. It is more subtle than dopamine and has a more lasting effect.
Often people don't understand this process, they desperately want to maintain the feeling of stage 1, thinking the love is gone. No, it's "just" the hormones changing. But you can experience these hormones again and strengthen them.
Sound has the same effect on your neurochemistry. It increases love hormones. 💖
Listen to sounds you love or go to a concert with your partner. A sound bath for couples can also be helpful and makes your partnership shining in a new, beautiful light.💖
