WHOA Baby Wednesday

A team of neurologists found that sexual activity can lead to “partial or complete relief” of head pain in some migraines.
 
The study, from the University of Munster, Germany, suggests that instead of using a sore head as an excuse to refuse sex, making love can be more effective than taking painkillers.
 
Their research, reported in Cephalalgia, the journal of the International Headache Society, found that more than half of migraine sufferers who had sex during an episode experienced an improvement in symptoms.
 
One in five patients left without any pain at all, while others, in particular male sufferers “even used sexual activity as a therapeutic tool”, they added.
 
They suggested that sex triggered the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, through the central nervous system, which can in turn reduce, or even eliminate, a headache.
 
WHOA BABY!!
 
Can you imagine a world where we look to our sexuality as a part of our medicine? 
 
I have mentioned many times that in the 1850s Victorian Physicians performed vaginal massage (orgasm) to treat female hysteria. The movie "Hysteria" documents this time in history which led to the invention of the vibrator. 
 
I have also been vocal about sexual wellness as natural ways to improve your immune system, cardiovascular system, and overall well being. 
 
What makes us resistant and hesitant to embrace this?
 
In my research and experience coaching women about their sexuality, I have identified the following reasons we resist the power of sexual healing. 
 
Religious training - interpretations of sex and sexual behavior by many religions teaching repression and shame. This has created confusion in enjoying sex for both young and mature women alike. And if you are unable to enjoy sex, it will not be a healing experience.
 
Reliance/Dependence on Quick Fix - our trained response when we have a health issue is to see a doctor or take a pill. When is the last time you were ill, and thought sex could help? We are also greatly influenced by the abundance of advertising pharmaceuticals.
 
Belief systems - We have not been exposed enough to the belief that sex can relieve pain and be healing, even though Marvin Gaye has been singing about it for 30 years. Our belief systems are formed by our experiences and what we are exposed to, and they can change in a moment. 
 
The good news is the seed has now been planted. Consider the side effects of orgasm, the next time you have a headache. :-)

Two elderly folks in a nursing home wanted to get married. Their doctor took each one into his office separately to try and talk them out of it.

He called in the woman and told her that the man had already suffered two heart attacks.

She told the doctor that she didn't care.

The doctor called in the man and told him the woman was suffering from acute angina.

"I know!" he said. "I peeked."

A lady approaches her priest and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have two female talking parrots, but they only know how to say one thing."

"What do they say?" the priest inquired.

"They only know how to say, 'Hi, we're prostitutes. Want to have some fun?"

"That's terrible!" the priest exclaimed, "but I have a solution to your problem. Bring your two female parrots over to my house and I will put them with my two male parrots whom I taught to pray and read the bible. My parrots will teach your parrots to stop saying that terrible phrase and your female parrots will learn to praise and worship."

"Thank you!" the woman responded.

The next day the woman brings her female parrots to the priest's house.

His two male parrots are holding rosary beads and praying in their cage.

The lady puts her two female parrots in with the male parrots and the female parrots say, "Hi we're prostitutes, want to have some fun?"

One male parrot looks over at the other male parrot and exclaims, "Put the beads away. Our prayers have been answered!"

ARTICLE - BElieving in the Impossible

There are many in the world today who are working for a better planet. Big thinkers who are imagining a planet that is healthy, because it's people are healthy; a world that has peace and love as the predominant mood; a place where positive thinking and optimism run rampant; a society where everyone has enough and we truly understand the power of how we can affect our surroundings.
 
You might say this is an impossible vision. What makes it impossible? 
 
Is it possible…
…to be healthy?
…to abolish war, fear and hate?
…to find good in all people and situations?
…to become conscious of how when one suffers, we all suffer on some level?
 
We have never known a world like this, but does that mean it isn't possible?
 
What does exist when we create peace where war existed, or when health replaces dis-ease, or when conflicts are resolved and people come together as a community? It starts with someone having a vision of what did not previously exist. Those special folks that do not allow themselves to be limited in their thinking and begin the process of changing the impossible to the possible. They paint the picture for others of this new vision, and then the miracle of what did not exist before becomes a reality.
 
I am stepping out to create a new vision for my life, and I want to invite you to support me. If you see me change the impossible to possible, then you have evidence it can be true for you too. My body has been ravaged by a dis-ease that has been present for over 25 years and the physical changes that have occurred are considered permanent by many. Is it impossible for me to regenerate bone, muscle, ligament and tendon tissue and restore my joints to full function? Before I consider the action of radical surgery, I am going to give it a go to BElieve in what appears to be impossible. Will you join me?
 
When I participated in an intensive experiential leadership program, one of the things I learned about myself is that I wait until the very last minute to ask for help. But help does come with the request, and it often creates miracles and magic.
 
So it is with a renewed sense of deep self-worth that I ask for your help to make some magic with me now. Whenever you happen to read this piece, PAUSE and envision me and my beautiful right hip joint fully functioning where my femur smoothly articulates in the socket of my pelvis. There is a smooth tough articular cartilage cushioning the bones and letting the ball move easily in it's socket. The surrounding muscles, ligaments and tendons are relaxed and at ease as they surround and move my leg with strength and flexibility. The dancer is dancing again!
 
Why should I choose this time, after almost 27 years, to believe that a healing like this is possible?
 
Why not now? 
 
Why not me?
