There's a book called "A General Theory of Love," by a neuroscientist in San Francisco.
So what they say is, when two people are in a loving relationship—or it doesn't have to be two people, it can be a dog or whatever—but there's a healer and a healee, and there's this experience going on of healing. If the healer lovingly pays attention to the patient or client, then there's something called—and you would know this—limbic resonance that happens; the emotional brain of the two start to resonate together. So that's level one.
Then, second level is the healer starts to regulate the patient's nervous system, neural networks, just by loving attention. Attention, even without touching them, without touching them. Attention, which means listening; affection, which means "I care"; appreciation—you're unique, a unique timeline of the universe; and acceptance—"I love you irrespective of who you are." Attention, affection, appreciation, and acceptance. So then, limbic resonance turns into limbic regulation; neural networks start to rewire.
And the last stage is limbic revision; your brain changes.
