Healing with Sexual Energy

HEALING WITH SEXUAL ENERGY 

Sex for Health, Relationships and Spirituality

 By Walter Last 

"Sex, or rather sexual energy, is a potent force in regard to our health, intimate relationships and spirituality, but the extent of this is rarely realized. Fortunately we can now understand much of the prevailing dynamics due to recent advances in the neurochemistry of the brain. The observed effects can partly be explained with biochemistry and partly with bioenergetics.

THE NEUROCHEMISTRY OF SEX 

Orgasm is generally regarded as the ultimate goal of recreational sex. Wilhelm Reich was the first scientist to describe the nature and purpose of the orgasm as a discharge of excess bio-energy with the additional liberation of feeling energy, and he also recognized the negative consequences of blocked sexual energies. Unfortunately, in addition to exciting peaks, orgasms tend to produce powerful negative side-effects that are only now becoming better understood. This is due to predictable trends in hormonal activity which seem to be similar in all mammals to ensure certain evolutionary objectives, especially the wide mixing of gene pools and the safe raising of offspring. This is achieved with the following neurochemical changes. The main players are dopamine, the reward hormone; prolactin, the hormone of satiation; oxytocin, the cuddle hormone, and levels of androgen receptors, which all powerfully affect our mood, our desire for intimacy, our perception of our mate, as well as our susceptibility to addictive activities and substances. These hormones can also have different but generally related functions. Additionally the stimulant phenylethylamine (PEA) is involved, which is also present in cocoa and chocolate and elevates energy, mood and attention. PEA is produced in greater amounts when one is in love; conversely a deficiency (common in manic-depressives) causes unhappy feelings. When we first fall in love we become bonded by rising PEA, oxytocin and dopamine levels When we are sexually aroused by close contact our dopamine level rises further and at the time of orgasm we have a dopamine brainstorm which one researcher compared to the effects of heroin on the brain. Dopamine is active in all addictions, even in people who have forgotten what sex is. Most of this activity is in the limbic system, the oldest part of the brain. After orgasm dopamine levels fall sharply with the usual withdrawal symptoms. This reaction tends to be immediate in males and delayed in females. Also prolactin levels rise, and androgen receptors fall after orgasm. Low testosterone is associated with irritability and anger. In sexually-satiated rats it has been shown that serotonin and endorphin levels also rise, and this also decreases dopamine and raises prolactin levels. Oxytocin levels fall after conventional orgasm but remaining in close contact may help to counter this drop and sustain oxytocin levels. Behavioral changes from this disturbed hormone equilibrium have been noticed for up to two weeks. During this time we may be more irritable, dissatisfied, anxious or depressed, and instead of seeing the good side of our mate, we are now painfully aware of his or her shortcomings. This is exactly the same process and length of time prolactin levels need to recover during withdrawal from cocaine."

Fairytale

The world's shortest fairytale: 

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl, "Will you marry me?" The girl said,"No," and she lived happily ever after and went shopping, drank martinis with her friends, always had a clean house, never had to cook, had a closet full of shoes and handbags, stayed skinny, and was never farted on. 

The End

Hiatus

In this technological day-of-age with Facebook, Twitter, AND Instagram, there is less need for blogs. I am not saying I am done done... but I am taking a hiatus until I really feel like I have something worthy to blog about.

Normal Day

“Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.”

Osho inspiration

A Man who Is Filled with Love Is in Heaven

“Without love a man stands alone, separated from the core of existence. Without love everyone is a lone entity, lacking any connection with others of his kind. Today, man finds himself totally alone. We are all shut off from each other, trapped within ourselves. This is like being in the grave. Even though he is alive, man is a corpse."

Ariele Day!

It's my favorite girls birthday today, so...

 

HAPPY ARIELE DAY!!!

DETAILS!!!

So I haven't blogged since I left the country and there is good reason for that: I have not had ANY time to do so. (Also, for the first week I didn't have internet service.) I still don't have much time to blog, but I just wanted to quickly share the exciting news I got today. Today, I got my details!

After only three weeks of training in London (very strenuous and stressful training, might I add), I have gotten the details of my ship!!! This has happened rather quickly for me, as some people get stuck in training for 6, 7, 8+ weeks!!

Wanna know where I'm going?! --Ready for this?-- I'm going on the Disney Cruise line! My ship is called the Disney Dream.

This is hilarious for SO many reasons:

1- Because it was the one cruise line I joked I would get, but didn't want to due to my lack of excitement towards children.

2- Because EVERYONE back home joked that I would get put on the Disney Cruise ship.

3- Because everyone at the Steiner Academy said that I would be perfect for the Disney Cruise ship.

4- Because every day at the Steiner Academy I sang Disney songs while we did our afternoon cleaning.

and finally...

5- Because deep down I really love Disney and I know I am going to have a BLAST on their ship!

The part I wasn't initially stoked on is that my port is in Florida. I was hoping to get OUT of the states. However, I AM excited that my whole cruise travels will be to islands! The Bahamas, The Caribbean, the Florida Keys, etc.

Did you know that Disney owns their own island?... of course they do. It's called Castaway Cay.

So to wrap it up, I leave on Monday April 2nd, and join my ship on Thursday April 5th. From that point on it is all sea from there! Super excited to see what sea life is all about!

Bon Voyage!

"A whole new world!!! That's where I'll be!!! A wonderous place, a thrilling chase..."

Q: Crystal, where will your cruise be going?

A: I don't know!

"It's like being blindfolded and throwing a dart at a map."

Women

'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.
If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.

If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.

If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.

If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.

She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.'
