“Put a rat in a cage and give it 2 water bottles. One is just water and one is water laced with he**in or co***ne. The rat will almost always prefer the drugged water and almost always kill itself in a couple of weeks. That is our theory of addiction.

Bruce comes along in the ’70s and said, “Well, hang on. We’re putting the rat in an empty cage. It has nothing to do. Let’s try this a bit differently.” So he built Rat Park, and Rat Park is like heaven for rats. Everything a rat could want is in Rat Park. Lovely food. Lots of s*x. Other rats to befriend. Colored balls. Plus both water bottles, one with water and one with drugged water. But here’s what's fascinating: In Rat Park, they don’t like the drugged water. They hardly use it. None of them overdose. None of them use in a way that looks like compulsion or addiction. What Bruce did shows that both the right-wing and left-wing theories of addiction are wrong. The right-wing theory is that it’s a moral failing, you’re a hedonist, you party too hard. The left-wing theory is that it takes you over, your brain is hijacked. Bruce says it’s not your morality, it’s not your brain; it’s your cage. Addiction is largely an adaptation to your environment.

Now, we created a society where significant numbers of us can't bear to be present in our lives without being on something, drink, drugs, s*x, shopping... We’ve created a hyperconsumerist, hyperindividualist, isolated world that is, for many of us, more like the first cage than the bonded, connected cages we need.

The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection. And our whole society, the engine of it, is geared toward making us connect with things not people. You are not a good consumer citizen if you spend your time bonding with the people around you and not stuff. In fact, we are trained from a young age to focus our hopes, dreams, and ambitions on things to buy and consume. Drug addiction is a subset of that."

Go Scotland!

Scotland becomes first country in world to embed LGBT education in school curriculum Scotland has become the first country in the world to embed le***an, gay, bis*xual and transgender inclusive education across the school curriculum.

Thanks Chris Hipkins for this valuable piece of advice 😋😋😋

These words were really felt in my body....

I always find it hard to explain what I do but quite simply it is about being present with the person in front of me.

Being present to their emotions, sensations, intention, perceptions and most importantly their possibility.

Cultivating and nurturing my ability to just BE with someone has been the most profound work I have ever done. Done to support my clients, family, society and myself.

Most of the past ten years of my life has been spent trying to effectively sort my s**t out...

My s**t being the fact that relationships with other people were so HARD. Not just with partners...but with co workers, friends and absolutely with family.

I really only gelled with a certain "type" of person and I truly believe that the jobs and work I choose were all because of my inability to relate to people and to be part of a team.

There was always just too much conflict, too much tension, too much judgment and it took a LONG time for me realise the common denominator was me!

Its been a BIG journey and it sure as hell isn't over.
I liken it to an onion...every day there's another layer to peel off!!

As I peel off the layers....accept, allow, hold, and become intimate with myself I notice the depression that's stalked me for years....lighten
I notice relationships with friends deepen and strengthen

And most importantly I see the work that I do on myself reflected in my sons, as the way I show up, influences the way they show up, the values they hold and their ability to feel and communicate their true selves.

I'm no guru....I'm no expert...But I am a human who's learning How to do Human and some valuable stuff to share.

This is going to be hilarious!!

“Most men believe that the average length of an erect p***s is greater than 6 inches (15.24 cm). This belief is due, in part, to several often-cited studies that relied on self-reported measurements, with means of about 6.2 inches (15.75 cm) for heteros*xual men and even greater for gay men. These studies suffered from both volunteer bias and social desirability bias. In this review, the combined mean for 10 studies in which researchers took measurements of erect p***ses was 5.36 inches (13.61 cm; n = 1,629)... Counseling with factual information about p***s size might be effective in alleviating concerns for the majority of men who worry about having a small p***s.”

Check out the size difference between a menstruating and non menstruating uterus!!

I wanted to share this image with you. In my hand are life sized replicas of a non-menstruating uterus and a menstruating uterus.

Can you get over the difference in size???!!!

This is why we feel so heavy at the beginning of our bleed. Why it can feel like our uterus is about to drop out and hit the pavement (or is that just me?). And why we need to take things slooooooow.

Many grateful thanks to Jacintha of the Jocelyn Centre in Sydney for this fabulous visual aid

Normally my work with adults is being the ambulance at the bottom of the hill and picking up the psychological and physical pieces of unhealthy relationships. Which makes me TOTALLY excited to have been asked to be a part of the facilitation team offering up the Love Me Not program by the NZ Police to our local year 12 students. Supporting students to develop a trusted picture of healthy relationships. Really great to see consent covered along with a raft of really valuable content.

When your clever friends make you beautiful gifts...
Thanks for the fabulous gift!!

I’m REALLY looking forward to seeing all the faces that show up on the call tomorrow..
If you’re new to Zoom feel free to jump on five minutes early and get a guided tour!!

Please note: Although I am a Somatic S*xuality Educator there is no s*xual element to these calls. The intention is create online social connection to bring people together and create support.

As we all become experts at physical distancing ( I'm refusing to call it social distancing!! ) Its time to make use of all the incredible technology that surrounds us!!

Come hang out in a virtual somatic space with me...FREE

Somatic, WTF??!!

Somatic basically means we're going to spend some time in our bodies ( not in our heads ) doing stuff as opposed to just talking...although there's going to be talking!!

There's a movement element ( which can be done in a chair or on a yoga mat sized space ), body based meditation element and a chance to connect both with the group and on a 1-2 person basis ( depending on how many people show up on the calls )

Meet some humans ( and maybe their cats ).....

ANYONE can participate ( maybe not the cats ) from 15 - 115
You just need to download zoom onto a device from the following website https://zoom.us/signin

And then sign in with the below Zoom link:
https://zoom.us/j/518912437

First calls are next week with a day time and night time option
Monday: - 10 am
Tuesday: 8 - 9 pm

If you are unfamiliar with Zoom please join the call 5 minutes early and I will talk you through "how to".

I’ve had the incredible pleasure of witnessing my cervix via a speculum and a mirror.... but this is next level !!

People are often curious about somatic means.
This sharing by Joe Dispenza is a great example of working with the body mind connection!!

Somatics is all about bringing awareness into our feeling state, both sensations and emotions and linking them with our big beautiful mind space!

Can you give thanks for something that exists as a potential in the quantum field but has not yet happened in your reality?If so, you are moving from cause and effect (waiting for something outside of you to make a change inside of you) to causing an effect (changing something inside of you to produce an effect outside of you). When you are in a state of gratitude, you are in a state of receivership❤️

It’s Totally Normal To Have Dark L***a There's a wide variation on l***a color, and they're all normal.

F& YES......

Pleasure and or**sm as meditation!!

Neuroscientist Finds That S*x is Similar to Meditation - InsideHook As it turns out, or**sm might not be the most important part of s*x.

A person’s s*xual identity is theirs to explore, theirs to disclose (if they ever wish to), and is not up for debate or to be determined by others.

That most definitely includes parents— The s*xual identity of the child you’re raising, is not for you to dictate or debate. Your best role is as a support, no matter how they identify.
