How to Overcome Sexual Repression ⋆ LonerWolf When was the last time you experienced a fierce throb burn in your loins and travel through your body like electricity? When did you last experience intense desire and passion consume you like wildfire? If you’re experiencing sexual repression your answer will probably be “once in a blue moon,” or perhaps even “NEVER.” Fortunately, you are not alone. Examining Your Erotic Wound Before we get to the meaty part about how to deal with your sexual repression, it’s really important that you examine the source of your discomfort with all things s-e-x. Where did your erotic wound – that part of you which is innately sexual – begin? For most of us, our erotic wounds began in early childhood. The reality is that most of us received a poor education about sex, and many of us were even shamed, punished or rejected as children whenever we touched our genitals or played “doctor” with other kids. Examples of sexual repression in your family may include: Other reasons for the erotic wound include: 1. 2.

Shame – The Scary but Rewarding Journey of Working Through Your Shadows – Mariah Freya Do you love uncomfortable moments so that you can work through your shit? Most people don’t. By the way, shit here stands for: emotional shadow, shame, fear, guilt, worries and other scary emotions. I know a few folks (but in my experience that’s a rare species :-)) who love, seek or even put themselves voluntarily into uncomfortable situations so that they can work through their own stuff quicker. How do you love and accept yourself and let go of shame and guilt? That’s one of the questions me and my dear friend Amitayus are asking in this week’s podcast episode. This is for you if you no longer want to swallow your shame down and draw the poison in, but instead want to transform and alchemize it into love. In this episode, we go into detail about: What are the different facets of shame? Links and resources mentioned: meetamitayus.com Thank you for listening to my show
Scientists have found that memories may be passed down through generations in our DNA | Soul Surfing World News New research from Emory University School of Medicine, in Atlanta, has shown that it is possible for some information to be inherited biologically through chemical changes that occur in DNA. During the tests they learned that that mice can pass on learned information about traumatic or stressful experiences – in this case a fear of the smell of cherry blossom – to subsequent generations. According to the Telegraph, Dr Brian Dias, from the department of psychiatry at Emory University, said: ”From a translational perspective, our results allow us to appreciate how the experiences of a parent, before even conceiving offspring, markedly influence both structure and function in the nervous system of subsequent generations. “Such a phenomenon may contribute to the etiology and potential intergenerational transmission of risk for neuropsychiatric disorders such as phobias, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.” Research link-
The Effect Of Stress And Trauma On Female Sexuality | The Huffington Post I’m a fan of the podcast “On Being” and it’s host Krista Tippettt. I listen to them while I walk in the woods. Krista has introduced me to so many new ideas and it was on one such walk, that this sex educator that specializes in the needs of women met Dr. Rachel Yehuda and the brand new science of “Epigenetics.” Listening to this podcast was alike a bolt of lightening coming down from the sky. So, yes, stressful experiences like trauma get lodged in our bodies and effect us. The studies have focused on sub-groups that have suffered traumatic effects such as 9/11 survivors, veterans, indigenous people and the survivors of the Holocaust. Why aren’t we studying this legacy of generational trauma in one of the biggest groups of long-term trauma in the world — women? Approximately one half (50 percent) of all individuals will be exposed to at least one traumatic event in their lifetime. I believe in the message of taking your trauma forward and using it positively. Earlier on Huff/Post50:
The Monsanto - Autism - Parasite Connection Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D., GuestWaking Times If you were to do research into alternative therapies that appear to be providing clear results to the autistic community, you’d be hard pressed to find anything as impressive as the results that people are finding in using a protocol that Kerri Rivera has put together. Kerri Rivera is the author of “Healing the Symptoms Known As Autism”, and the mother of an autistic son. In a previous blog post, I discussed the problem that parasites represent to those of us dealing with the conventional health model. How does Monsanto play into this? Common factors of consideration within Autism: 1) Altered Gut Ecology (8) 2) Increased intestinal permeability.(9)(10) 3) Food sensitivities.(11) 4) Altered organic acid profiles.(12) 5) Microglial activation.(13)(14)(15) 6) Impaired free radical suppression.(16)(17) 7) Impaired methylation (18) How do these factors relate to Monsanto’s RoundUp? RoundUp and the consequences of heme synthesis impairment. Dr.

While this blog is about creative solutions, not problems, for perspective’s sake let’s spend a brief moment examining our culture’s default experience of sexuality. Let’s face it: We live in a rape culture If we took an honest poll, we’d discover that the majority of people have experienced abuse, sexual assault, trauma, incest or harassment. #4 Redefine power
Department of Agriculture Sued for Withholding Safety Information on GM Crops The Department of Agriculture has been violating the Freedom of Information Act for over thirteen years, according to the Center for Food Safety (CFS), who is now suing the Agency for withholding information on the (lack of) safety of GMO crops. CFS just filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), alleging that APHIS has violated FOIA by habitually failing to respond to requests for records related to genetically engineered (GE) crops, unlawfully delaying its responses, and preventing the public from being duly informed about this information. APHIS does not respond in a timely manner to many of CFS’ requests; there have been at least 29. Two appeals and 10 requests have been ignored. The lawsuit asks the court to demand that the Department of Agriculture respond. Cristina Stella, staff attorney for Center for Food Safety states: Stella explains:
Rhythm of Breathing Affects Memory and Fear – Neuroscience News Summary: A new study reports the rhythm of your breathing can influence neural activity that enhances memory recall and emotional judgement. Source: Northwestern University. Breathing is not just for oxygen; it’s now linked to brain function and behavior. Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered for the first time that the rhythm of breathing creates electrical activity in the human brain that enhances emotional judgments and memory recall. These effects on behavior depend critically on whether you inhale or exhale and whether you breathe through the nose or mouth. In the study, individuals were able to identify a fearful face more quickly if they encountered the face when breathing in compared to breathing out. The study was published Dec. 6 in the Journal of Neuroscience. The senior author is Jay Gottfried, professor of neurology at Feinberg. The amygdala is strongly linked to emotional processing, in particular fear-related emotions. About this memory research article Abstract
The Many Uses of the Mighty Moringa Tree By Dr. Joseph Mercola Guest Writer for Wake Up World Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing tree native to South Asia and now found throughout the tropics. Its leaves have been used as part of traditional medicine for centuries, and the Ayurvedic system of medicine associates it with the cure or prevention of about 300 diseases.1 Moringa, sometimes described as the “miracle tree,” “drumstick tree,” or “horseradish tree,” has small, rounded leaves that are packed with an incredible amount of nutrition: protein, calcium, beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium… you name it, moringa’s got it. The fact that moringa grows rapidly and easily makes it especially appealing for impoverished areas, and it’s been used successfully for boosting nutritional intake in Malawi, Senegal, and India. Personally, I grew a moringa tree for two years and I can attest to the fact that it grows like a weed. 1. Moringa leaves are loaded with vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, and more. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. In 1997 Dr.

Emotions spread via a wireless network of mirror neurons, which are tiny parts of the brain that allow us to empathize with others and understand what they’re feeling. When you see someone yawn, mirror neurons can activate, making you yawn, in turn. Your brain picks up the fatigue response of someone sitting on the other side of the room. But it’s not just smiles and yawns that spread. When your taxi driver honks angrily, you can carry his anxiety all the way to work. According to Heidi Hanna, a fellow at the American Institute of Stress and author of Stressaholic, secondhand stress is a result of our hardwired ability to perceive potential threats in our environment. In fact, you don’t have to see or hear someone to pick up their stress; you can also smell them. In our highly connected working world, we are hyper-exposed to other people.
