Fear of Intimacy/Commitment Do you struggle in relationships that are defined by drama, or by the pursuit/withdraw dynamic between partners?Do your relationships start with intense passion, then quickly end?Do your long-term relationships wear you out with never-ending emotional turmoil? The fear of intimacy in relationships is a highly salient issue for many people today. The active runner: Is usually unavailable for intimacy because of some observable, concrete reason. The passive runner: Often “finds them self” in relationships with people who are somehow unavailable. What really defines people with passive conflicts is that they say (and believe) they want a close relationship, but they consistently pick unavailable partners and are often excruciatingly disappointed when things don’t work out. Most people who have some fear of intimacy have both active and passive conflicts. These patterns wear people out, and they can be incredibly painful.

Not only does it strengthen muscles, it is a great way to lengthen contracted muscles. The exercises were developed back in the 1940s by a guy called Joseph Pilates who first used the yoga-like moves to rehabilitate Second World War soldiers.

The flea's knees (and every other part of its anatomy): Stunning close-ups of see-through water insects By Daniel Miller Published: 13:57 GMT, 4 May 2013 | Updated: 15:52 GMT, 4 May 2013 These stunning images may look like extras from a sci-fi movie - but they are actually close up images of water fleas and other tiny creatures. Photographer and marine biologist Daniel Stoupin takes incredibly close-up photographs of the miniscule marine creatures - so they become almost completely transparent. His photos show everything from sea plants to water fleas and mosquitoes, all of which are photographed so closely that they are barely recognisable.

Lust is the Purest form of Love | My View of Things Damned are the Men Who consider Desires Depravity For it is that Depravity Wherein lies the Source of Birth and Light! Lust is loathed as filthy, depraved and primitive. A desire that does not belong to the world of men we live in, who by the process of evolution were supposed to leave it behind with the wild and rudimentary habits of their ancestors. The man who has forsaken his body and its desires can not live without damning everything that is important, for what else is left to live for. If one was to define love for an object – a person, a situation or an inanimate – what would it be if not the admiration of what is good with indifference to what is not. But, it is taught that all are good and everything is to be loved; that love is giving without hope or desire; that it is immoral to love or want with expectation. Isn’t the source of all pleasures same - the triumph, followed by peace! That’s not what you would hear! Like this: Like Loading...

He said that if you asked the average person to find a needle in the haystack, the person would stop when he or she found a needle. He, on the other hand, would tear through the entire haystack looking for all the possible needles. Creative thinking is inclusive thinking. Most of us have been educated to think exclusively which means we think in deficit by focusing our attention on specific information and excluding all else. An experimental psychologist set up the task of making a pendulum. Next, another series of subjects were given the same task under slightly altered conditions. The first group failed because the weight was firmly embedded in its role as a pendulum-weight and nothing else, because it had been verbally described as such and because visually it formed a unit with a cord attached. The second group had not been primed to think of the cord and weight as a single unit.

Wakeful SuperPower WARNING: DO NOT listen to Binaural Beats while driving, operating equipment, or any other task that requires concentration. DO NOT listen to Binaural Beats if you have experienced seizures in the past or have epilepsy. How It Works When two tones of specific frequencies are played through headphones, the brain can become confused and produce its own, imagined tone—a three-dimensional audio hallucination heard only within the head of the listener. What is happening is that the brain is not used to hearing frequencies in each ear so close together and with such intensity—these sounds do not occur in nature and so a mechanism in our brains has not evolved to understand them.
