Five Languages of Love – (2631)

Introduction

I was listening to an audio book while driving to Gnosis from work and these so called five languages of love sounded through my car speakers. Even though it is not a Gnostic teaching, I find it quite practical and in my experience quite valid.

So, these five languages are the languages through which we express love to others. In other words, love speaks through these five languages. In many of us, our love may already be speaking through these languages, but perhaps not all five, maybe one or two only.

To know about these languages and to use them consciously I find certainly enhances our expression and giving of love to another person, people or our own Being.

The Five Languages

Quality Time

Means to give our time, our interest and attention to a person, or even our own Being.

Affirmation

To affirm our love, to appreciate, to honour and this is essentially done with words and body language, as the language of the body speaks many words.

Touch

Fairly obvious but only really for people close to us. In terms of our Being it may be to put heart into the equation.

Service

Implies to do things for the person or for our Being. That would be to help the person, clean, tidy up, cook, make life easier, pay bills, even work physically for the person. When it comes to our Being, we can serve humanity, transmute, work psychologically etc. for our beloved inner Being.

Gifts

This does not only have to be material things it could be gifts of kind gestures, kind words, consideration, activities together, travel, make dinner, a flower, a surprise, a break from the routine, etc.
