That got your attention, didn't it! (Click on SEX: Bad Relationships... to see the whole article.) It's not surprising to hear that stress makes sapes sick (definition of sape: slang for Homosapien-that would be you-a human being). This article discusses how unhappy relationships with lots of strife can lead to heart disease or worse.
How can you lower the risk of choosing a bad mate and simultaneously improve your communication skills? Two words "UNIVERSAL SOMATICS" (a/k/a US). The more you learn about US, the more you'll want to know. Just when you thought you had it mastered, US will teach you another little tid bit that blows your mind.
Have you ever fallen into lust with someone, dated hot and heavy for months-maybe even years and then all of a sudden you felt like you were sleeping with your brother/sister? If you have experienced that, it's likely that you were dating someone who was the same domain as you (e.g. PHYLO/PHYLO).
So in 4 seconds you can know your domain and the domain of a potential mate. Doesn't it make sense to learn this very simple skill and instead of "wasting" 2 years with someone you can know in 4 seconds where it's likely to go? Makes sense to me. Had I known these skills in 1994, I'd have saved my parents tens of thousands of dollars for my first wedding and avoided several years of unhappy marriage and an uncomfortable (yet joyous) divorce.
Domain 'incest' doesn't always lead to a failed marriage. The more aligned the secondary domains are, the more resilient the relationship gets. Learning to open you're own identity up to these acquired perspectives adds depth to your life and new intimacy to what can become a stable, but stubbornly platonic monogamy."
We are having a free workshop in Putnam County, NY on Friday, October 12th at 7pm. There are a few chairs available in the class but are filling up quickly. If you are interested in learning a bit more about Universal Somatics, email us at nakedsoma@gmail.com ASAP for more info or to reserve your spot... no time to waste! You ECOs out there better do it RIGHT NOW or you'll forget all about it....
ECO and Proud,

This is so true! It's also very interesting to realize that just by finding out what domain someone is in, if they would be compatable with u. I'm really interested in the domains now, & I try to see if i can classify people just by looking @ them myself.
I read the article and I totally agree with the study on bad and good relationships. Any type of stress can cause you to have numerous health problems so I am not surprised that being in an unhealthy relationship can cause such terrible health risks.
I DO believe that bad relationships, bad choices in the workfield, bad food choices, anything BAD in our lives can make us ill-think about it-ppl with depression have physical pain, and tons of things wrong with them-because they "think" it's wrong-from my experience-I can bring on a headache if I want one-this is HORRIBLE-I truly believe WE MAKE OURSELVES sick-to me this is a no brainer-eat chips-get fat/sick-me-headaches, gut rot-and I know if I eat them I'll get sick but I do it anyways-(use to anyways!) I eat too much sugar I get sick-I don't NEED sugar-I want it-hence I make myself sick for simple pleasure-i keep thinking NO BRAINER!! :-)
I thought about this post ALL DAMN DAY---I can chose to be angry/mad/down and depressed and make myself sick or be happy/outgoing/and reach for life-and have a great day-I chose the great day-it worked-then I read this article-and I had to share it with ya all-hope you don't mind-
Too Serious To Laugh?
Have you ever faced a situation that you felt was just too serious
to laugh about?
Many people feel that some things in life are just too serious to
laugh about. But did you know that laughter is a way to relieve
stress and a way to cope with life's tough challenges?
Sandra Baker had cancer and tells us that laughter helped heal her.
Bethany Hamilton's arm was bitten off four inches below her
shoulder and she used humor to cope with the situation and to ease
other's discomfort with the situation. A little boy's eyesight was
failing due to a degenerative disease, and with the help of his
father and humor, he was able to focus on the blessings he did
have. Gloria Estefan nearly died in a bus accident and used humor
to lighten the mood as doctors worked with her to restore her
health.
Laughter in itself has been reported to have miraculous healing
powers. Norman Cousins, author of Anatomy of an Illness, writes
that laughter played a major role in restoring his health and
mobility after being almost completely paralyzed from a life
threatening disease. Norman's story is a fascinating one.
Dr. Lee Berk and Dr. Stanely Tan, two California scientists who
research the effects of humor and laughter, state that many
positive benefits can be gained by incorporating humor into daily
life.
Laughter helps control pain and stress, lowers blood pressure,
helps fight diseases, and is aerobic, providing a workout for the
diaphragm.
In a study conducted by Hajime Kimata, MD, PhD from Japan, humor
was determined to be effective with relieving allergy symptoms for
up to four hours by patients who suffered with dermatitis.
Sandra Baker who I mentioned in the opening paragraph of this
article, states that laughter helped heal her when she had cancer.
Following are several strategies she recommends to help people
laugh more.
*Read funny cards at stores.
*Do something for yourself every day.
*When you get frustrated with someone or something - perhaps your
boss - get a roll of toilet paper and write all the things that
frustrate you on it. At the end of the week, flush all of the
toilet paper that you wrote on (and your negative feelings) down
the drain and out of your mind.
*Draw a cartoon of your frustrating experience.
*Look at the pictures on cards and think of something funny to say
about the picture.
*Have fun and laugh every day that ends in y.
*Keep a book filled with pictures, cards, or other positive things
that you can review to help lift your spirits.
*Watch funny tapes. Sandra watched I love Lucy videos during her
chemotherapy treatments.
*Attend a comedy show. The day Sandra found out she had breast
cancer she went to a comedy club and laughed the night away.
So what do you do if you find there's nothing funny to laugh about?
Well, studies have shown that if you simply force yourself to
laugh for several minutes you will still reap many benefits. Humor
increases your body's ability to utilize oxygen and increases your
immunity to infections by instantly increasing a flood of
disease-fighting cells and proteins into the blood.
Can't force a laugh on your own? Try tape recording children
laughing and play the tape to yourself when you need a laugh. I
bet you'll at least crack a smile. Remember, it takes only 26
muscles to smile and 62 to frown!
i think my problem with my boyfriend is not that he is my domain, but a domain that im not compatiable with. im phylo according to Dr. Mark but I really want to know if my bf is another domain...hes def not phylo or onto...but the thing is..this whole domain stuff is rele interesting and i want to learn how to read other ppl's domains..
Marcely, PHYLOs are compatible with everyone, generally speaking... there is a lot more to it. Bring your b/f to class on the 25th when Dr. Mark comes to visit!

I think relationships are sooo overrated!!!! People put way too much thought into them and many girls try to "change" themselves to be compatible with their partner...For those girls...all i have to say is grow up!!! Get over urself and move on :)
