Is Love Contagious Connecting Dots…to God. Is love contagious? Can trust be transmitted to others? Paul J. Zak, author of the forthcoming book The Moral Molecule, documents a connection between demonstrations of love and trust and levels of the hormone oxytocin. He says in a recent Wall Street Journal article describing his book that his research offers “empirical evidence that illuminates the mechanism at the heart of our moral guidance system.” See an interview with Zak here Love is contagious Zak’s research shows that when oxytocin is introduced into subjects’ brains, there is a corresponding increase in kind and generous behavior. Zak’s wedding lab results suggest that expressions of love and trust breed more of the same; a morally rising social spiral.
Naturalists and atheists might interpret this as evidence that morality has a biological basis after all. The Source of all goodness As a Christian, I see it differently.

Mister Chill'R. Be Mine Forever Oxytocin May Help Build Long-Lasting Love Scientific American. If cupid had studied neuroscience, he’d know to aim his arrows at the brain rather than the heart. Recent research suggests that for love to last, it’s best he dip those arrows in oxytocin. Although scientists have long known that this hormone is essential for monogamous rodents to stay true to their mates, and that it makes humans more trusting toward one another, they are now finding that it is also crucial to how we form and maintain romantic relationships. A handful of new studies show that oxytocin makes us more sympathetic, supportive and open with our feelings—all necessary for couples to celebrate not just one Valentine’s Day, but many.
These findings have led some researchers to investigate whether oxytocin can be used in couple therapy. The first bit of evidence that points to oxytocin as nature’s love glue comes from researchers who measured the hormone in couples. Oxytocin was also correlated with the longevity of a relationship. How would that work? SBTRKT. Ralph Fox. Over the past 6 months, we've been working with All About Trans on a project titled Patchwork.
We've been meeting with 25 inspiring people, to create 25 short films, with All About Trans. Each short film features someone living in the UK, with passions, interests, upbringings, gender variance and experiences. Each film focus on the theme of support and celebration. The films are destined for the All About Trans website, My Genderation website, 4OD, and a selection of them will be broadcast on Channel 4, over the next few months, hopefully with us presenting them. What makes Patchwork entirely unique is that it's created by trans people (with experience both sides of the camera) about trans people, for a much wider audience. We direct, film & edit all our films - and we work closely with our contributors throughout the editing process, keeping our message authentic and clear.
We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed making them. Amon Tobin 'ISAM' Live : Mutek Premiere (Official) Grayarea » the five year plan.

Kindness has been my personal response to terror. My wife, Shoshana, was murdered by a suicide bomber.
She was one of over 100 victims that were killed or injured on August 9, 2001 at the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem. Sometimes I wonder whether telling my story can really help others. Since, the way I am coping with tragedy is so different than the norm, would anyone else understand it? Many of the rabbis that came to visit me told me a story about a carpet. I have always been interested in the “big picture” – in how to make the world better. After my wife’s violent murder, I began a project to teach people how to be kinder. One of my Kindness advisors sent me an e-mail link to an article in the New York Times about how medical researches have found that acts of kindness stimulate the brain in the same place that physical pleasures do.

When Congress last voted on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) in 2007, the bill would have prevented employers from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation but not gender identity or expression. House Democrats removed transgender protections from the legislation, claiming they wouldn't have enough votes to pass an inclusive ENDA. "There is more resistance to protection for people who are transgender than for people who are gay, lesbian and bisexual," Rep.
Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said in a statement at the time. "This is not a good fact, but ignoring bad facts is a bad way to get legislation passed. " The House did pass the bill, after quarreling over the non-inclusive language and repeatedly postponing a vote, but it died in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Monday that he plans to take up ENDA "soon" and told reporters last month about a personal reason he supports a ban on workplace discrimination.
"My niece is a lesbian," he said. A fine bromance: Friendship and support in YouTube’s transgender community - Proud Queer (PQ Monthly) Wes Chernin (left) and Kendon Fisher (right) met via YouTube’s transgender community and have been close friends ever since. By Erin Rook, PQ Monthly When he first learned about gender transition in 2006 from a character named Max on “The L Word,” Kendon Fisher was a lesbian-identified teenager who had never met or spoken to a trans person. Seven years later, he has a large circle of trans friends and an extended family of brothers on YouTube.
“When I first discovered YouTube I was scared. I would try to convince myself that I wasn’t transgender – even the word transgender freaked me out,” Fisher, now 21, says. “I know it’s ironic because I live in Portland, but at the time I honestly felt like the only trans person on this planet. Fisher lurked on the recently launched video site for three years before posting a video of his own. Many of the videos from Fisher and others like him feel like one-half of a video chat between close friends. Kendon Fisher and Wes Chernin Share and Enjoy. What Elizabeth Kubler-Ross Can Teach Us about Life, Happiness and Pain.
Image by mathias-erhart (license). Note: This is a guest post by Michael Miles of Effortless Abundance. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross was a Swiss born psychiatrist who spent much of her career writing and speaking about illness, death and dying. Kubler-Ross, who wrote the famous book, ‘On Death and Dying,’ developed the idea of the ‘stages of grief’ at a time when the medical establishment was largely refusing to address these issues. Her work on death is monumental in scope and importance, and through her writing comes an immense humanity, compassion and wisdom. “You will not grow if you sit in a beautiful flower garden, but you will grow if you are sick, if you are in pain, if you experience losses, and if you do not put your head in the sand, but take the pain as a gift to you with a very, very specific purpose.”
The message here is that we can learn from every experience, and that in fact every experience can be regarded as a gift. “People are like stained-glass windows. How to Change the World.

Xoxo - Amanda Everything Happy by Stephanie Corfee Be Kind to Your Neighbor As to Yourself I may be a design & lifestyle blogger now but in college, I was a religion major.
Luckily, I'm not here to wax poetic about my days as an academic theologian. I do want to share an "aha! " But this professor paused and reminded us that this required loving ourselves. In order to love others, we had to come to terms with loving ourselves, valuing ourselves, giving ourselves a hug, kiss, & a pat on the back. This is not just a lesson from the Bible and it's certainly not an exclusive doctrine.

Happiness is a feeling, a state of mind; it's something you create in your own brain. Over the years I've watched various friends search tirelessly for happiness by changing jobs, moving to new cities, pursuing intimate relationships, buying fancy cars and/or expensive boats, and tweaking all sorts of other external factors in their lives. And guess what? They are still unhappy! Because they spend all of their time, energy and money adding positive externals to their lives when their internals are still in the negatives...
So with that in mind, here are 80+ ways to stay unhappy forever! In fact, according to a German/American scientific study, overall levels of happiness decline from one's teens until one's 40s and then pick up again until they peak in one's early 70s. Do you need more eye-openers about happiness? BE GRATEFUL... 40 Lessons for Finding Strength in Hard Times. Post written by: Marc Chernoff Sometimes you have to die a little on the inside first in order to be reborn and rise again as a stronger, smarter version of yourself. Nobody gets through life without losing someone they love, someone they need, or something they thought was meant to be.
But it is these losses that make us stronger and eventually move us toward future opportunities for growth and happiness. Over the past five years Angel and I have dealt with several hardships, including the sudden death of a sibling, the loss of a best friend to illness, betrayal from a business partner, and an unexpected (breadwinning) employment layoff.
These experiences were brutal. Each of them, naturally, knocked us down and off course for a period of time. But when our time of mourning was over in each individual circumstance, we pressed forward, stronger, and with a greater understanding and respect for life. Here are some lessons we’ve learned along the way: Photo by: Chris Schoenbohm. Paulo Coelho's Blog. Welcome to Namaste Cafe! Interlude: Prayers.
