there are a few scientific studies that have linked the brain with love and attachment & so it seems that the heart is not the only organ involved in your relationships.  I’ve been helping a friend Giorgio Ungani to organize TEDx Dubai and have now developed an overactive interest in the mind & brain as a side effect.  So I thought I’d list some of the studies results in this post.  If you are interested in helping out please follow on Twitter @tedxdubai or post a short video on 12secondstv or else contact Giorgio with your ideas.

life is going so fast these days and most of us have so many commitments that it is even hard to find time to share love with our partner.  Like anything, the more time we invest in our relationships the more return we receive back from them.  This is of inestimable worth & value when our lives rush on towards the inevitable…… death!

one of the big challenges I have found in relationships is receiving another’s love.  Unfortunately I have tended to relate to the ‘giving love’ side of the equation, to which a lot of women can relate.  I have experienced shifts over the course of my life where I have more access to the experience of Love, particularly receiving it.  These I guess has been the result of consciously working towards having this experience more fully.  I even found a Wiki article titled ‘How to Receive Love’

there are many layers to attraction between humans and I think smell is quite strong (‘scuse the pun)!  I really mean that smell plays a major role in whether two people will be attracted to each other or not.  Recently I came across a few articles on the net that spoke about various studies that are focused on the issue of smell between people.

“The key to any good relationship, on-screen and off, is communication, respect, and I guess you have to like the way the other person smells — and he smelled real nice.” Sandra Bullock
