LuvDrops LuvDrops is about simply sharing the love and connecting people through our heart space. With a simple tap you can let someone know you are thinking of them. You can set reminders for a special occasion or to send a daily drop to someone in need. With enough LuvDrops we can change the world. Streams Continuous drops make a stream. Like links in a chain we can keep the love flowing. You can set a theme and follow the progress of any stream you have been apart of. Let the streams of love flow, passing drops endlessly around the globe, lifting everyone and everything in the process. Request In request the hope is to join the LuvDrops community by sharing the love with those in need. You can join in on any request and help out total strangers or you can post a request for yourself, someone in need or even an event. The more minds we have fixed on the same task, the more power we have to make real positive change. History In LuvDrops history you will find the last drops you sent and received. On the left you will find the type of LuvDrop by the symbol, cloud (shower/group) wavy lines (stream) and the heart (single).The time and date and the letter icon that shows sent and received. The coloured edge will show how close you are to synchronising with others, eg, blue, with in 5 mins, green 15 mins, yellow 30m, red 2 hours. We are all connected and with LuvDrops history we can see how close. Groups Groups is designed to make it easier to send multiple LuvDrops in showers. By making groups eg family, work, friends etc you can shower them all with love with a simple tap. You can also use groups to send a message or team up to send a LuvDrop shower to one person maximising the love, health and healing.
