The Taste of Love: Where Connection Begins
Everything starts with an infant. When a mother smiles at her two-month-old child, the baby does not merely see—he tastes that smile. Through oxytocin, pheromones, and natural endorphins, the child experiences the taste of love, creating a state of pleasure and an answering smile. This is not metaphor; it is biology.
"The baby understands nothing. He feels that he is loved. And this is very important."
This capacity to feel loved is the foundation of everything. Yet many people cannot love themselves because filters have been placed over this feeling: trauma, stress, criticism.
