Love in Alignment: Rima Zanoun Explores the Heart, Mind, and Energy Behind the Month of Love

February invites us to celebrate love, but what if we understood love not as a fleeting emotion but as a state of being? For Rima Zanoun, an entrepreneur and wellness coach, love is a way of showing up, a practice that shapes how we approach the world, connect with others, and navigate life’s challenges. Love is alignment with the heart, an energy that transforms both ourselves and the spaces we inhabit.

From biochemical reactions to somatic awareness and the vibration of love’s magnetic field, Rima explores the multi-dimensional nature of love this Month of Love, reminding us that love isn’t something we feel—it’s something we are.

Love as a State of Being

“Love goes beyond a mere emotion—it is a state of being,” Rima explains. “It shapes how we perceive the world, influences the energy we bring to every encounter, and reflects the ongoing practice of staying true to our most authentic selves.”

When we embody love as a state of being, it becomes a practice—a daily commitment to approaching situations with kindness, curiosity, and openness. It influences not just how we connect with others but also how we respond to life’s challenges. By choosing love, we align with our hearts and create a ripple effect of healing and connection.

The Chemistry of Love

Love begins in the body as a cascade of biochemical reactions that influence our thoughts and emotions. The brain releases key chemicals such as:

• Dopamine, which drives pleasure and motivation.
• Oxytocin, which fosters trust and bonding.
• Serotonin, which brings calm and joy.

These chemicals don’t just generate fleeting feelings—they create shifts in how we approach the world, reinforcing positive behaviors and deeper connections.

Ancestral Perspective on Biochemistry

In ancestral times, these reactions served a vital role in survival, helping to strengthen bonds within tribes and families. Oxytocin, for example, was critical for building trust and ensuring collaboration. Over time, these processes evolved to support modern expressions of love, from family connections to community and beyond. While the context of love has changed, its biological and emotional impact remains timeless.

Love as a Somatic Energy

Beyond chemistry, love is also a somatic energy—a lived, physical experience in the body. Rima shares that love often begins as warmth in the heart or a sense of openness in the chest. These sensations radiate throughout the body, influencing how we carry ourselves and interact with others.

Somatic awareness allows us to anchor ourselves in the present moment and embody love as a state of being. By paying attention to these energies, we can deepen our relationships, strengthen emotional resilience, and create a sense of balance.

The Magnetic Field of Love

From a magnetic field perspective, love isn’t confined to the individual—it is a vibration that ripples outward, influencing those around us. Scientific research shows that emotions like love and gratitude can expand the electromagnetic field of the heart, creating a resonance that others can sense.

“Love is alignment,” Rima says. “It brings our emotions, thoughts, and energy into harmony, generating waves of positivity that uplift and heal not only ourselves but everyone we connect with.”

By living in a state of love, we not only improve our own well-being but also contribute to the collective energy of those around us.

Practicing Love

This Month of Love, Rima Zanoun encourages us to embrace love as a daily practice:

• Choose alignment: Align your heart with your actions and intentions.
• Feel love in your body: Tune into the physical sensations of love and allow them to guide your behavior.
• Spread love: Approach the world with openness, compassion, and connection, creating ripples of positivity.

“Love isn’t something we find—it’s something we cultivate, moment by moment,” Rima reminds us. “When we embody love as a way of being, we uplift not only our own lives but also positively influence the world around us.”
