Sending Love can go from an overused sweet sentiment to an intentional energy shifting act that feels good. It’s a simple process, but we have to pause and do it for it to be effective.
Below are the deets on who, when, where, and how to send Love so you can be intentional with it.
Who to send Love to:
+ someone you love
+ someone who needs support (physical, mental, emotional, financial)
+ someone you’re in conflict with
(which isn’t always easy to do)
+ someone you hate and/or don’t want to forgive, (which can be very hard, but very freeing!)
+ people, places and things that have been impacted by disasters (natural or otherwise, like a hurricane or shooting)
Take a moment to think about who you’d like to send Love to while you’re reading this so you can feel good sending Love to them in just a moment.
When to send Love:
anytime – day, night, evening, weekend, it doesn’t matter.
The best time to do it is right when you are thinking about someone or a situation that tugs at your heart, regardless if you’re in a position to help in another way, too, or not.
Where to send Love:
to a specific person, place, or thing anywhere in the world.
Also, you don’t need to be in a specific location to send Love. You could be at work, at home, or even standing in line at the grocery store.
You can send Love from anywhere in the world to anyone at any time.
How to send Love:
- First, close your eyes
- Next, direct your breath in through your heart and out through your heart
- Then set the intention to send Love to someone or something specific
Although you’ll continue breathing through your heart throughout the entire exercise, after 3 full breaths you’ll imagine the person, place or thing you want to direct Love to, is in front of you. Imagine Love in the form of heart shapes coming out of your heart, floating across the space between you, and entering the heart of the person, place, or thing you intend to receive it.
You can choose any color you want for the hearts. You could imagine sparkling light rays beaming along with the hearts, or even send heart bubbles. Whatever pops into your mind that represents sending Love for you is perfect.
Continue breathing through your heart as you send Love, take a couple more deep breaths through your heart, and when you feel complete, then open your eyes and notice how you feel.
The whole process can be as quick as 10-15 seconds and as long as you choose to make it last. The longer you stay in the elevated emotion of Love, the better it is for whomever you’re sending Love to, and the better it is for you. Yes, you do benefit from sending Love, which is a beautiful side effect, wouldn’t you say?

This is such a good reminder! And I love how simple it is. <3

thanks and I notice two things inside me since I
do this: first is how I feel relief of old and non necessary bad emotions (hatred, angry) and then with some people I can feel that they received it and there is like a « change » in behavior at least with me. Like if there is no more to grab to. And then with others it need my releasing of results because I cant change them but because I notice changes in some of them AND myself, I just let it go
and let the universe decide , hopefully this love will make a trace inside them, doesn’t matter if I
don’t witness it. It doesn’t belong to me. Thanks for this article ❤️
Yes, isn’t that feeling of relief wonderful?
Yes, when we shift energy by sending love it actually changes both the sender and the receiver in some way. They may react or treat you better than they previously did (even though they don’t know you sent them love.) You feel better having sent it.
Awesome awareness, that you can’t change them. You can only change you. Sending love helps change you. Beautiful!!!
Julie – I love this post. I can visualize the process you are explaining. It gives me ideas to use in the future when sending love to others.
This is such a good reminder about the sincerity of this phrase. Thanks for the practical ideas to actually help shift the energy.
You’re welcome! It’s good to have reminders from time to time.
I REALLY like how you describe and explain this.
I try to remember to send love to homeless people too because I read somewhere how we don’t want to send them ‘pity’ type energy. We want to send them ‘love’ energy.
What a lovely post!!!
Thank you for this!
For the longest time, especially on FB, whenever someone is looking for prayers, I comment with – sending love & light. Or something to that effect.
NOW I know how to actually send love & light and I cannot wait to do it!
Yes! Isn’t it great to know how easy it is to do and that it only takes a few moments?!
So simple, but I bet so freeing. Thanks for the suggestion! I think I will add this to my daily prayer journaling.
Yes, it’s simple. Sometimes it’s easy, other times it’s more challenging like when we’re upset with the person were sending love to.
Thank you. This is a great little exercise with huge benefits.
I’m happy you found it beneficial. It’s easy to do anytime anywhere.
