How love makes us feel can only be defined on an individual basis, but what it does to the body, specifically the brain, is now less abstract thanks to science. One of the problems with early-stage attraction, according to anthropologist Helen Fisher, is that it activates parts of the brain that are linked to drive, craving, obsession, and motivation, while other regions that deal with decision-making shut down. Dr. Fisher, professor Ted Fischer, and psychiatrist Gail Saltz explain the different types of love, explore the neuroscience of love and attraction, and share tips for sustaining relationships that are healthy and mutually beneficial.

From the heart of Versailles to your heart. When we visit a cherished place,
The people who walked these streets over hundreds of years, who wandered along cobblestones on the way to get their daily bread, in their boots and britches, hats with plumes, and you are now interconnected, because you share a place, a feeling, a stirring.
While time and distance separate us, we walk the same streets, we think of the same things, worry about the same things, long for the same touches.
The same longing is in all of us, no matter how grand or humble our abode. We share a common human experience that is powered by love.
Paris is now your home, and it awaits your return. Return you will. First in your heart, in your dreams, and in your soul.
Then one day the longing will be realized and you will gaze with wonder out the window of a plane and see the morning sunlight lighting up the Eiffel Tower, as you make your approach to your next rendezvous with the city of light, the city of love and the city of one thousand dreams.
Like all aspects of life, experiences are always better with friends.
You arrived with excitement, with anticipation. You leave with a full heart and soul mates.
Paris is a lover, she has a soul. That soul is beyond space and time. It is limitless, and by sharing its soul with you, it is expanding and never diminished.
We obsess over physical things, about limits where sharing means less. And yet the true magic resides in places like Paris, in our hearts where sharing expands beyond all known limits.
And so it is with all love. Love when shared grows. It expands. It becomes more. As that soul expands to include more it becomes more magical, more profound, more for everyone.
So now, as you return home, you will catch glimpses of Eiffel Towers and your heart will miss a beat.
Yes, no doubt, you may temporarily forget, you may become seduced into old patterns and old dramas. It may seem too painful to remember your love affair with Paris.
But only for a while. It won’t take much to remember, to recall, to reconnect. The time machine will buzz into action and transport you back.
Despite our feelings at times that things are against us, the universe is neutral. It does not deny us anything. Only we can do that.
And remember:
YOU ALWAYS TAKE THE WEATHER WITH YOU, EVERYWHERE YOU GO, ALWAYS TAKE THE WEATHER WITH YOU.
Bon voyage, until we meet again!
