Aphrodite, Healthy Thinking and You
Ah, yes... Aphrodite.
Greek Goddess of love and beauty. Welcome to my lighthearted and gentle page on women’s sexuality, the law of attraction and love. You will not find anything inappropriate here though, and if you are looking for images of that nature, you will need to move on. Also see Laws of Attraction Movie
Why Aphrodite? For those of us who studied Greek mythology in college, this next bit is familiar. If you missed that class, know that it was particularly entertaining. One aspect of the story, most appropriate for this page is the following: Eros and Psyche (a Greek God and a human) get married. The Goddess Aphrodite, a great beauty, danced at their wedding. The happy couple named their subsequent child Pleasure. In Roman mythology, the child is given the name Voluptas. You can see how this whole tale is tailor made for women’s sexuality themes – always has been, always will be. The whole Aphrodite myth is a much longer, convoluted story which would make quite an epic fantasy movie to this day! For us here, however, let’s look at some positive thinking, law of attraction concepts that fit well with women’s sexuality questions and issues. I invite you to send in your questions and stories. First, what is female sexuality? It encompasses behaviors, processes, and issues such as female sexual identity and behavior, physiological and psychological aspect of sex. Social, cultural and political issues are elements. Spiritual and religious themes are intertwined. And then there are ethics, morality… theology mixed in. Uppermost on women’s minds, however are the following areas: Relationships. Sexual Dysfunction. Looking Good. STDs. Men. Contraception. Reproductive Health. Conceiving. Pregnancy. Incontinence. Menopause. Weight Issues. Breast Cancer. At the very core of who we are as women, lies our Thinking Habits. Our thinking habits have a lot to do with our enjoyment of all aspects of a fulfilled life, even to the well-known fact that great intimate relations begin - not between the sheets, but between the ears. Evidence-based writings and research now shows that our thoughts, especially those we entertain regularly, shape our lives. The Secret is the latest mass media promotion on the issue, with some controversial suggestions within its themes. However, the fact remains, that the information presented around law of attraction is pretty basic, pretty effective positive thinking strategy. It, in some form or another, is taught and applied in most respected therapies and successful womans health programs, including those aimed at helping women deal with relationship and sexual concerns. For a successful example, take a look at the Sexuality and Positive Women Staff and Volunteer Training Workshop, by the Calgary Birth Control Association (A Planned Parenthood FC Affiliate Organisation). The objectives for the Sexuality and Positive Women workshop offered by this respected agency are built around sexuality and reproductive issues for women living with HIV/AIDS. It used a sex positive approach based on 1. the belief that women are sexual beings and 2. deserve supportive environments and accurate information. 3. Appreciative Inquiry – a phenomenal process closely resembling law of attraction contrast practice The program was highly successful, and focused on the positive, followed by words and actions in alignment with healthy goals. The same idea can be used with personal sexual issues, and I recommend you ask your primary health care practitioner about specific mental practices to try with your most uncomfortable, personal issues. There are good sex therapists in most major centers, and your nurse practitioner or doctor can refer you. In the meantime, see the
