Vitenskapen om seksuell helse

"Seksuell helse er på kort tid innarbeidet som ett av de viktigste begreper innen sexologisk fagterminologi. Men sexologer som forfekter både åpenbare og sannsynlige helsefordeler ved seksuell aktivitet, møtes med skepsis fra seksualmedisinere som mener at helserisikoene er større enn helsefordelene."


"Og for dem som trodde at nordisk sexologi har gått i bresjen for den progressive utviklingen innen sexologisk tenkning, bør det minnes om at nordisk sexologi har kommet langt, men at de viktigste strategene for utvikling av begrepene seksuell helse og seksuelle rettigheter er sexologer fra Spania, Latin-Amerika, USA og Nederland."

Helsefordeler ved god sex

Kåthet og seksuell aktivitet kan gjøre godt for helse og livskvalitet, hevder sexologer. Her er Cupido's liste med 20 dokumenterte sammenhenger mellom seksualitet og helse.


"Seksuell aktivitet og akseptering av seksuell legning vil fremme mental helse. Forskere har påvist at seksuell avholdenhet innebærer en vesentlig helserisiko."


"Folk med en nytelsespreget personlighet viser liten tilbøyelighet til aggressiv eller voldelig atferd, og folk med aggressiv personlighet viser liten evne til toleranse og sensuell nytelse."

Love at First Sight Might Be Genetic

In research done with fruit flies (but which may have implications for humans) scientists found that females are biologically primed to sense which males are more genetically compatible with them, and to make more eggs after mating with good matches than they do with less compatible matches. The findings suggest that females can somehow judge a potential mate upon first meeting and biologically react to boost the chances of producing successful offspring.


The study was detailed in the April 2009 issue of the journal GENETICS.

Om å ombestemme seg og ulike typer voldtekter

"Menn er flotte, empatiske og varme! Ikke la slike “ekspertråd” gi dere ett sekunds tanke om at dere er potensielle voldtektsmenn. De fleste menn er åpne, frie og med mentale ressurser til å se flere perspektiver enn sitt eget. Og har i sitt hode et kvinnesyn og mannssyn at alle er likeverdige og at “veien blir til mens man går den”, også i sengen.  Selvfølgelig!"

Fjernhealing

Fjernhealing og helbredelse ved bønn innebærer et samspill mellom levende organismer over avstand. Den helbredende livs energien anses som knyttet til bevisstheten, ikke til fysisk form. Mange healere opplever en dyp enhet med klienten under behandlingen, også ved fjernhealing. I denne bevissthetstilstanden hevder mange healere å få kontakt med klienten. Healerne mener at kjærlighet er en sentral faktor i den terapeutiske relasjonen. Noen mener at kjærlighet er den virksomme faktor i healing, andre at kjærlighet er sentralt for at den kraften som formidles skal nå mottaker.

Aurelius Augustin

”Filosofen og biskopen Aurelius Augustin, som levde på 400- tallet, skrev noe veldig klokt:

”Fasthet i det sentrale, frihet i det perifere, kjærlighet i alt.”

Kanskje vi skulle prøve å møte hverandre med denne rausheten – og se på hva som faktisk er det sentrale, og hva som er det perifere – rett og slett hva som er stort og hva som er smått”.

How To Love Yourself In 17 Ways

“To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.”

Oscar Wilde quotes

(Irish Poet, Novelist, Dramatist and Critic, 1854-1900)

"Be Truthful To Yourself. Loving yourself requires you to be truthful about your own feelings. If you are happy, acknowledge the joy. If you are sad, acknowledge the sorrow. When you are truthful about your feelings, you do not try to lie to yourself or seek to bury your negative emotions. Instead, acknowledging what you feel provides a good guide to what your thoughts are. And as we all know, thoughts can be changed, so that healing and self growth can take place."

From the blog "How To Love Yourself In 17 Ways" by EVELYN on MARCH 20, 2008.

THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES

Ms. Ensler’s experience performing THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES inspired her to create V-Day, a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. She has devoted her life to stopping violence, envisioning a planet in which women and girls will be free to thrive, rather than merely survive.

Today, V-Day is a global activist movement that supports anti-violence organizations throughout the world, helping them to continue and expand their core work on the ground, while drawing public attention to the larger fight to stop worldwide violence (including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM), sex slavery) against women and girls. V-Day exists for no other reason than to stop violence against women.

Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain

El amor nunca muere

Love is always a mixture of different illusions and feelings that are permanently in the life of each human being, who experiences periods of ups and downs marked by joy, pleasure and also hatred or resentment. For love or hatred a human being activates an enormous quantity of energy, one fights or makes war, one undergoes the most terrible tests, takes risks, overcomes the hardest difficulties, moves mountains, crosses oceans and nothing stops that person until he/she has reached his/her goal. For this reason when a man and a woman fall in love, it is the encounter of two souls who wish to unite forever and to have a full life with all its manifestations. For them it is like a flame that lights up or like the noise of a thunder or the glitter of thousands of lights that illuminate their existence. True love happens only once and when it happens it is forever, so much that one or both of them can exclaim: “to a unique being, to my only love, with all my heart and forever I dedicate my existence for eternity”.

Towards a new education

"We have not come on this earth to work like machines, but to live life fully trying to enrich our evolution. To reach this goal we urgently need the creation of a different educational institution from the present one, which allows the harmonization of the different components that distinguish the human being from other mammals. In this proposal men, but above all women, must be encouraged to discover again the sense and responsibility of life, to learn how to live in harmony without looking for power through war, religion, politics or propagating ignorance."

Kärleken slutar så sena

As shattered lives are put back together, cracks remain

"They knew what she was really up to, in part because she told them, in part because they’d known her since Andrew had first led them on the begging expeditions when they were all little kids. 

Everything she was doing now, in reaching out to Andrew, was designed not only to forgive the rapist but to shine a light for the children he had raped. Everything she did was fit to a purpose. As she had done for them all their lives, she gave them what they needed. When she saw they lacked food, she gave them eggs and milk. When she saw they lacked toys, she gave them trampolines and backyard swings. When she learned about the rapes, she sent men with guns to their door.

And now, when she saw that they lacked forgiveness she gave them a model of forgiveness, to drain anger out of their souls."

John Fowles

Ill.: SonjaBunes 1990

What are we faced with in the nineteenth century? An age where woman was sacred; where you could buy a thirteen-year-old girl for a few pounds... if you wanted her for only an hour or two... where more churches were built than in the whole previous history of the country and where one in sixty houses in london was a brothel. Where it was universally maintained that women do not have orgasms; and yet every prostitute was taught to simulate them. Where there was an enormous progress and liberation in every other field of human activity; and nothing but tyranny in the most personal and fundamental.

WHITE LION, The Movie

"However, these lions will perform for two rewards; one is love and the second is meaty treats. Without those ingredients we wouldn’t have had workable lions on the film. So, amazingly, many of the complicated scenes - very big wide shots of this little lion walking a huge distance toward camera - are accomplished mainly because the lion loves and respects us, and not only because of the treat that he gets at the end. Scenes that were less complicated, were achieved where the lion was aware that if he does what he’s asked, he’s going to get a little cube of meat, and if you’re a lion,” jested Richardson, “that’s very exciting!”."

Eat Pray Love

"I look at the Augusteum, and I think that perhaps my life has not actually been  so chaotic, after all. It is merely this world that is chaotic, bringing changes to us all that nobody could have anticipated. The Augusteum warns me not to get attached to any obsolete ideas about who I am, what I represent, whom I belong to, or what function I may once have intended to serve. Yesterday I might have been a glorious monument to somebody, true enough - but tomorrow I could be a fireworks depository. Even in the Eternal City, says the silent Augusteum, one must always be prepared for riotous and endless waves of transformation."

Alpha Blondy - Rasta Bourgeois

NEW ALBUM “VISION”  OUT APRIL 4TH IN FRANCE

"Right from the outset – inspired opening track “Rasta Bourgeois” – the wide scope of this richly arranged record can be felt. “The bourgeois Rasta is a vision. What’s the point in idealising poverty and highlighting its exotic side? Articles on Rastafarian culture always show photos of kids walking around bare-foot in ghettos. Our poverty is neither exotic nor touristy. Rastas are entitled to a decent, bourgeois life if they so wish. They have the right to send their children to school. Poverty is not compulsory, nor is it a profession nor a trend”."

The Process of Domestication and the Wounded Mind

Ruiz asserts that all human minds are born with joy and love, but over time they become injured and wounded. The injuries are inflicted by society, during a process Ruiz refers to as Domestication.

Domestication tames the human spirit to survive the social order, but Domestication destroys joy and love, replacing them with fear and anger. To endure, people make decisions based upon that fear and anger. Thus, people become masters at protective responses to the pain of fear and anger.

GUDS HJERTE

Guds hjerte vet vi ikke,

Hans øyne ser vi ikke,

som i sommernatten.

Hans stemme hører vi ikke,
men vi finner
veier overalt og spor i hjertene
og stier med lavmælt lys.

Uten tvil den beste butikk-kjøpte sjokoladen jeg har smakt, hittil!

Without a doubt the very best store-bought chocolate I ever had, so far!

Sjokolade – mer enn til sinnets munterhet

"At sjokolade tidligere ble solgt som medisin, skyldes effektene av teobromin og koffein. I kombinasjon er disse like virksomme som kaffe er oppkvikkende og vinen er stimulerende. Stoffet fenyletylamin, som hjernen produserer en masse ved forelskelse, finnes i rikt monn i sjokolade og kan være et fortrøstningsfullt tilskudd når forelskelsen er på hell, mener den norske professoren. Derved kan hun gå god for Freias tidligere slagord på kakaopakkene «Til sinnets munterhet».

The frequency of love in 528

528 is a simple number that is central to the “musical mathematical matrix of creation.”  This LOVE vibration harmonically resonates in your heart inaudibly connecting your spiritual essence to the spiraling reality of heaven and earth. Even the parallel universes connect to the center of your heart by this LOVE channel broadcasting matter and energy according to the laws of physics. In fact, 528 is fundamental to these laws. This frequency, more than any other, epitomizes the unified field of musical metaphysics in the matrix of the spiraling fractal universe.

Source Vibrations

We focus our intention to transmit the resonant tones of Love, extending vibrational harmony to nourish the united spirit body of light. We call to the light to fill our vessels of understanding, opening our hearts and minds to the universal stream of expanding wholeness. We offer in service the wisdom the light reveals, in the flowering of its ageless gifts. We gratefully accept the sacred offerings it bestows, that its richness may nourish the soul of humanity, blessing our unified path of destiny. We allow for the fluidic and spontaneous emergence of Source Conscious to guide our recognition of what is, as we release the passing influence of time. We give our thoughts to serve wisdom above knowledge, that our hearts may rise above human love into Divine Love. In giving our intention over to the will of Love we seek to align with that which governs the Unified Will of Life and directs unfolding of the Plan of Creation in all its myriad forms of expression.

Cowardice

"When we renounce our dreams and find peace, we go through a short period of tranquility. But the dead dreams begin to rot within us and to infect our entire being.

We become cruel to those around us, and then we begin to direct this cruelty against ourselves. That’s when illnesses and psychoses arise. What we sought to avoid in combat – disappointment and defeat – come upon us because of our cowardice."

Late bloomers

Den amerikanske journalist og forfatter Malcom Gladwell beskrev for nogle år siden Galesons teorier i et essay og efterprøvede dem ved at interviewe forfatteren Ben Fountain som en eksponent for de gamle og newyorker-vidunderbarnet Jonathan Safran Foer som det unge geni. Undervejs i essayet går det op for Gladwell, hvad de gamle mestre - som han benævner Late Bloomers - er bygget af, nemlig kærlighed. De gamle mestre kræver kærlighed og tillid, skriver han, og »historien om late bloomers er kærlighedshistorier. Det er måske derfor, vi har det så svært med dem.

"Epikur" - en glad filosof

"Epikur formidlet at “Gleden er målet” (dvs. frihet fra smerte i kroppen og uro i sinnet). Hvis ordene “epikureer” og “epikurisme”, i moderne tid, blir oppfattet som nedlatende uttrykk, skyldes dette at noen av hans elever mistolket hans lære ved å ty til ren “hedonisme”. Når Epikur prater om glede og lykke, mener han en glede som innebærer sjelsro. Det er altså snakk om en balansert sinnstilstand som grobunn for sann glede."

When the Course of True Love Is Derailed by Disease

"Saving Milly" is a romance (written by Jeff Arch, whose story about the inevitability of true love was the basis of Nora Ephron's "Sleepless in Seattle"), but it is also overtly political. The Kondrackes are outraged to learn how little money is going toward Parkinson's research, and a character suggests that what the disease needs is a celebrity patient. It gets exactly that, of course, when the actor Michael J. Fox announces in November 1998 that he has Parkinson's.

Authenticity: Be the Change You Seek

As Gandhi said, "Be the change you seek". Many people live in a state of quiet desperation or restless agitation.

Ancient Egyptian Love Poems Reveal a Lust for Life

The Flower Song (Excerpt)

     To hear your voice is pomegranate wine to me:
     I draw life from hearing it.
     Could I see you with every glance,
     It would be better for me
     Than to eat or to drink.

     (Translated by M.V. Fox) 

Written during Egypt's New Kingdom (1539-1075 B.C.) but likely composed much earlier, these songs are surprisingly direct about love and romance in ancient Egypt, using metaphors, repetition, and other poetic techniques familiar to poetry readers today. 

Cameron Walker for National Geographic News, April 20, 2004
