Chemistry is My Enemy - Now the Yale Science is In

Do you get hurt in romance? It finally hit me in 2009: “Chemistry is my enemy!”

Something inside me was creating “serial attraction” to “unsafe” people who couldn't attach, so I needed to heal me.

Now science sez: Meditating on the ancient “Metta” loving kindness meditation phrase "May all beings be happy” actually reduces activity in brain areas associated with addiction – and also with the “high” of romantic love.

Thank heaven for Dr. Gary Chapman’s concept of “adult volitional love” in his book "Five Love Languages." He counsels us to develop character discernment instead. And yes I bet the sex is even better when we see each other for who we really are:
