Tantric Stimulus Package I

What would a tantric stimulus Package look like?

A tantric stimulus package would be most closely aligned with the Austrian school of economics, go with the flow, even if 'the flow' sucks ......and work within that flow,
it's so much easier.

The system is not broken, it is correcting, adjusting, and accommodating past, present and potential future input. ....that is the nature of markets, and really most everything, including our life/sexual energy......blocking the natural reaction of over indulgence with a stimulus to consume more, is just downright silly. Do we cure diabetes with sugar? What kind of bizzaro world have we created?

The US is running out of magic cures and bunnies in hats, and the ones that are there are burnt out, nervous and jumpy*

This is not to suggest we not improve, fine tune and direct, but by allowing the authentic nature of the system to take its course, all the while learning and conducting damage control, we help to insure that in the future we will (maybe) not make the same mistakes....

Fighting it, trying to stop it, control it or attempting to fix it -with the same consciousness and behaviour that created it is the common solution, but not necessarily the best.
Like a bulimic who's barfing time has come, a healthy and natural reaction to excessive over indulgence and over consumption (on credit), the US needs to purge -in a natural way...... any attempt to control or stop this natural reaction will only make a bigger mess and most likely create future problems within the system............including dependence on the magical cure, a cure intended to be temporary, but like many a magic cure, all too often overstays its welcome....

....overstayed magical cures are a very heavy contributor in the current economic chaos, or as some bankers say, in very hushed voices, Financial Armageddon.....

.....................and tantric stimulus packages have many forms, the above is in development

A few things to know about kissing

-- About two-thirds of all humans, male and female, tilt their heads to the right when kissing, whether they are left- or right-handed.

-- Men think kissing is an effective way to end a fight. Women think that's hooey. For once, the women are incorrect. "The evidence shows," says evolutionary psychology Professor Gordon Gallup, that "kissing is so powerful for females that even though they deny it, once it occurs, they're so affected by a kiss ..." That they're helpless in its grip? "Yup."

-- The science of kissing is known as philematology.

-- More men than women describe a good kiss as one that involves tongue contact, saliva exchange and moaning.

-- After a relationship is established, women are much more likely than men to use kissing to monitor commitment. "There is good evidence that the frequency of kissing is a pretty good barometer of the status of a relationship," Gallup says.....more from San Francisco Chronicle and Washington Post

Kissing for Stress Reduction

Kissing, it turns out, unleashes chemicals that ease stress hormones in both sexes and encourage bonding in men, though not so much in women. Women do receive a healthy dose of testosterone during kissing, but only if the are kissing a male. The flood of feel good chemicals that create the rush only happens when kissing is coupled with emotional intensity.........

Associated Press

RANDOLPH E. SCHMID

Both men and women had a decline in cortisol after smooching, an indication their stress levels declined.For men, oxytocin levels increased, indicating more interest in bonding, while oxytocin levels went down in women. "This was a surprise," Hill said.In a test group that merely held hands, chemical changes were similar, but much less pronounced, she said.
The experiment was conducted in a student health center, Hill noted. She plans a repeat "in a more romantic setting." Hill spoke at the session on the Science of Kissing, along with Helen Fisher of Rutgers University and Donald Lateiner of Ohio Wesleyan University.
Fisher noted that more than 90 percent of human societies practice kissing, which she believes has three components — the sex drive, romantic love and attachment. "When you kiss an enormous part of your brain becomes active," she added. Romantic love can last a long time, "if you kiss the right person.".......more

Men are more likely to think of women as objects if they have looked at sexy pictures of females beforehand, psychologists said yesterday.Brain scans revealed that when men are shown pictures of scantily clad women, the region of the brain associated with tool use lights up.

Men were also more likely to associate images of sexualized women with first-person action verbs such as "I push, I grasp, I handle," (that about covers it, giggles!) said lead researcher Susan Fiske, a psychologist at Princeton University. And in a "shocking"* finding, Fiske noted, some of the men studied showed no activity in the part of the brain that usually responds when a person ponders another's intentions.
The changes in brain activity suggest sexy images can shift the way men perceive women, turning them from people to interact with, to objects to act upon.
w
Both women and men have something to learn from this line of research, Raison said. Women should be aware of how they are perceived when wearing provocative clothing, and men shouldn't let feelings of impersonal sexual longing interfere with their more personal relationships (or judgments!) with other women, including female friends.

Women may also depersonalize men in certain situations, but published research on the subject has not been done, experts say. Evolutionary psychology would theorize that men view women as objects in terms of their youth and apparent fertility, while women might view men as instrumental in terms of their status and resources, Fiske said.

*Shocking?
Oh please!
Women have objectified men for as long as men have objectified women. Both sexes play into this, and I would suggest, very equally....women may have invented it!

What is interesting is the why and the way it works, what is going on in our brain, and how much of who we are is subconscious, primal and instinctive. How Pavlovian are we, and how much of how we think do we reinforce through repetition?

For some this mind set is total, some occasional and others rarely if ever.

Awareness creates the variant response.

This survival behaviour, and that is exactly what it is, is no longer necessary, so why do we continue to employ it?

Do we sacrifice authentic, whole being love when we succumb to this behaviour of survival, or when we fear the behaviour in someone else?
When authentic love is there, free for the taking, are the beautiful or wealthy so afraid that they ignore it? All too often, yes. .....and that is why we so often see the rich and beautiful sitting home alone.

Is there any reason to wonder that beautiful women and wealthy men, or visa versa, are insecure, not terribly trusting, and sometimes a little paranoid even?

Do they know consciously, and sense subconsciously, that the motives of their latest lover may be self serving or skewed at best? Does their perceived wealth or attractiveness spark fear in the new lover, and does that interfere with pure, and real communication, and vulnerability?....how could it not

In an odd way, the rich and beautiful are no different than anyone else, the universe has given them a deliciously rare gift .......(we all get one)......and an equally, and exquisitely heavy cross.....such is the nature of the universe

Stephen Colbert Talks Love and Lust with the Experts

Stephen Colbert talks to Ariel Levy about the 'Rise of Raunch Culture', and "...the spread of the aesthetics and values of the red light district into mainstream culture. Strippers and porn stars are the stars of raunch cuture, those are women who's job it is to fake lust, they should not be our sexual role models, it should be women who have the most pleasure from sex, not the ones that get paid the most to pretend they are engaged with it......"

and Dr.Oz, ....the average American male has sex once a week (yikes! that's terrible),
if you can double that your life expectancy increases by 3 years, but this does not hold true for women, quality not quantity is the key for women..."

and Dan Savage, Seattles Savage Love...." straight guys can't find the clitoris...."

Breath of Fire for Stress Reduction

Breath is at the foundation of yoga practices, and for good reason, it works!
Science is proving the remarkable healing qualities of breath (pranayama) and effectiveness of many of the ancient yogic techniques, and with none of the nasty side effects that may accompany pharmaceuticals.
Breath of fire (Agni-Prassana) is a rapid, but light, rhythmic, breathing technique, and is exceptional for simultaneousely energizing the nervous system. and calming, the mind and body. With a few weeks of practice mental clarity and calm replace racing, stress inducing thinking, and when breath of fire is combined with other yogic techniques such as bandhas, it acts as a magnifier, creating even more powerful results. Breath of Fire energizes the entire nervous system, making it particularly important in tantric practices.
Learn it. Love it. Live it!
