Valentine's Day: Love as Energetic Coupling
By Carlos J. Pérez Pulido · ISHEA Institute ·
Is love a chemical joke or an exquisite need for energetic coupling? A reading of dopamine, oxytocin and the invisible contracts that bind two nervous systems together.

❤️🧠 Valentine’s Day:
Is love just a chemical joke…
or an exquisite need for energetic coupling?
They say love is:
🎢 dopamine playing hide-and-seek
🤗 oxytocin hugging traumas
invisible contracts signed by vasopressin
Basically…
a chemical reaction with emotional expectations.
And yes.
That’s true.
But it’s also incomplete.
Because if love were just chemistry,
one supplement and two notifications
should be enough.
(Spoiler: they’re not.)
Love happens when two biological systems
decide —sometimes without logic’s permission—
to regulate themselves together.
When:
the pulse calms in the presence of another
silence is not threatening
the body lowers its guard
This isn’t romanticism.
It’s applied neurophysiology.
A secure bond:
reduces cortisol
improves metabolism
restores energy
And that’s also why some loves drain more
than a week without sleep.
Not everything that makes your heart race
does it for the right reasons 💥
At ISHEA we say it without candles or violins:
Love is shared coherence.
This Valentine’s Day, celebrate someone who doesn’t just make you feel butterflies…
but your nervous system at peace 🧠❤️
🔁 Share if you believe true love
isn’t an eternal promise…
but sustained resonance.

The Nobel, optogenetics and a question I want to test
Carlos J. Pérez Pulido reflects on the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, awarded to Deisseroth, Hegemann and Nagel for optogenetics, and poses a question he intends to put to the test.
