How sex rules our dreams

Gritty, emotional, smelly and dirty: new evidence supports Freud’s long-debunked theory that sex fuels our dreams.

In short, every 90 minutes during sleep, we enter the dangerous twilight zone called REM sleep. The reward centres of our brains are activated, and our sexual systems are turned on – yet our bodies are partially paralysed so we cannot move to take advantage of these activations. Instead, as key physiologic systems collapse, we are forced to watch these things we call dreams.

Relationship between nightmares and a tight jaw

Relationship between nightmares and a tight jaw

More and more people suffer from their tight jaw. One result causes teeth problems. So people visit a dentist `cause they are aware of these problems and not of the chronically tensed jaw. Mostly the dentists don`t know the reason for the teeth problems. So they call this syndrome “bruxisme”. People feel some kind of a respect towards such a diagnosis and follow the dentist`s indication for a while. But as there is no real change they stop.

By the way “bruxisme” only means teeth crunching. Using a Greek labeling the diagnosis sounds important. But ………..

Moving patterns are like a finger print

Moving patterns are like a finger print

Each person has a distinct way of moving that is constant, like a signature; this pattern can be observed and identified through disciplined analysis; and the resultant Movement Pattern is a reliable predictor of how people will behave in a variety of situations.

Warren Lamb was the pioneer of Movement Pattern Analysis which is mainly based and originated in the works of the choreographer and movement analyst Rudolf Laban.

Lamb worked for all kinds of organisations, fot the industry and in the field of politics. His Approach to Body language is of course very different to the main stream, more instant like body reading concepts.

Be aware of what you eat and you will really taste

Mentally multitasking people do not really tast what they eat. If multitasking you will est more thsan you need. You will taste less and you “prefer” more salty and sweet things.

As a result of a scientific study you harm your body and cannot really be aware of this, of what you do to your body. Read more here:

Smog hurts the body too

Chinese Smog, just like any other Smog in the world, is so bad, it’s like a ‘nuclear winter’ that’s even stopping plants’ photosynthesis. Scientists argue. They also state the following aspects:

Pollution has grounded aircraft, closed roads and hit tourism inChina
The food supply could be affected as the smog blocks sunlight
China Agricultural University showed that seedlings are struggling to grow
The smog is having the same effect as that predicted from nuclear war
YetChina’s naval chief claimed it has a plus side – defence from US laser
Rear Admiral Zhang Zhaozhong said weapons’ range cut from 10km to 1km

So smog touches the Body in an implicite way one could say. It touches the Body, interferes without letting you really know what happens and what will happen in the future.

Smog hurts without you letting feel how much it hurts.

The body tells YOUR story

The Bioenergetic Analysis (Bioenergetics) allows access to the topics / problems of understanding and acting on the level of interaction between the body and the analytical process. This is possible because the body is functionally identical to the person, on all levels. Feelings, thoughts and issues of life of an individual always manifest in the expression of the body. A diagnostic identification of these aspects is precisely possible because of the shape, the structure and motility of the body. It is necessary that one is able to read the language of the body.

These patterns of feeling, …………

Frozen watchfulness

Frozen watchfulness

Little children who have been misused, tortured or beaten Show special nonverbal symptoms in behavior. Here are two of them which can be found in all cultures:

First there is the frozen watchfulness. This reaction is typical for chronically or acute misused children. Children show this behavior when being explored. They just down move any more, stay motionless and even don`t react when they are touched in a perhaps hurting way (for example by an injection).
Secondly they very often address others, even if they don`t know them, in a too open way. without any sign of distance. Instead of retreating or crying if being addressed by strangers, they stay there where they are and smile. This is very untypical for children of this early age. Probably the try to disarm the other person by smiling. This also Shows that their experience is: even if you cry and when you are that anxious there is nobody who will hear you and help you.

The Year of the Horse

To celebrate the Year of the Horse, the Metropolitan Museum is presenting a selection of exceptional works in Gallery 207 for a limited period.

Since its domestication in prehistoric times, the horse has played an essential role in Chinese life. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties (ca. 1600–256 B.C.) horse-drawn chariots were a sign of high social status and the premier weapon of war. By the fourth century B.C.,……………………

Crying helps, really

Aside from removing toxic substances from our body, crying can also have the psychological benefit of lifting our mood and helping us to deal with painful situations.
Crying is thought to help reduce stress, which can have a damaging effect on our health and has been linked to a number of health problems including heart disease, high blood pressure, type-2 diabetes and obesity.
According to the Minnesota study, crying can help to wash chemicals linked to stress out of our body, one of the reasons we feel much better after a good cry.
