Biological models of love tend to see it as a mammalian drive, just like hunger or thirst. Psychology sees love as more of a social and cultural phenomenon. There are probably elements of truth in both views — certainly love is influenced by hormones (such as oxytocin) and pheromones, and how people think and behave in love is influenced by their conceptions of love. Love - Attraction and attachment. The conventional view in biology is that there are two major drives in love — sexual attraction and attachment. Attachment between adults is presumed to work on the same principles that lead an infan ...

Love - Christian. There are several Greek words for Love that are regularly referred to in Christian circles. Agape - In the New Testament, agapē is charitable, selfless, altruistic, and unconditional. It is parental love seen as creating goodness in the world, it is the way God is seen to love humanity, and it is seen as the kind of love that Christians aspire to have for one another. Phileo - Also used in the New Testament, Phileo is a human response to something that is fou ...

Love has several different meanings in English, from something that gives a little pleasure ("I loved that meal") to something one would die for (patriotism, pairbonding). It can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love. Probably due to its psychological relevance, love is one of the most common themes in art. Love might best be defined as acting intentionally, in sympathethic response to ot ...

There are three primary steps, what I call phases, that must come first before the Law of Attraction can be 100% successful. These three phases are not complicated or foreign. They are extremely simple and natural. However, when something is simple that doesn't mean it is easy. Since most of us were guided away from this natural knowing from the time we were born, it is not easy to change what we have been taught for so many years.

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year which has been designated the Year of the Monkey, 4701. The date is computed on the basis of the Chinese Lunisolar Calendar which harmonises both the lunar cycle and the solar year by incorporating astronomical observations of the phases of the moon and the apparent path of the sun.

The Chinese New Year is celebrated on the second new moon (lunar) after the winter solstice (solar). The winter solstice occurs when the apparent path of the sun reaches its lowest point on the horizon.

The author and poet Robert Graves' study of the nature of poetic myth-making, The White Goddess, first published in 1948, and revised, amended and enlarged in 1966, represents a tangential approach to the study of mythology from a decidedly idiosyncratic perspective. It proposed the existence of a European deity, the White Goddess of Birth, Love and Death, represented by the phases of the moon, who he argued lies behind the faces of the diverse goddesses of various European mythologies. In this work, Graves argued that "true po ...

Probably motivated in part by anxiety over his replacement as Wilson's writing partner (as Wilson increasingly relied on Pet Sound lyricist Asher and, later, SMiLE collaborator Van Dyke Parks), Love became increasingly hostile towards Wilson and his new material between late 1965 and early 1967, a period that critics and fans now widely acknowledged as the most creative phase of Wilson's career. He reportedly led the group's opposition to the Pet Sounds material and particularly objected to the song "Hang On To Your Ego" ...

U.S. investigators would apparently not find the connection with Khalid Sheik Mohammed to Al Qaida until several years later. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed decided that explosives were too risky to use in his next plot. He decided to take Phase II and make it into a new attack. The leadership of the organization Al-Qaida, which he belonged to, loved the idea of using airplanes in attacks. The plot would become known as the September 11, 2001 attacks. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed wo ...

Portuguese literature - Poetry. The early nineteenth century witnessed a literary reformation which was commenced by Almeida Garrett who had become acquainted with the English and French Romanticism in exile and based his work on the national traditions. In the narrative poem "Camões" (1825) he broke with the established rules of composition and followed it with "Flores sem Fructo" and a collection of ardent love poems "Folhas Cahidas", while the clear elegant prose of this true artist is seen in a miscellany of ...

The first volume, the "Either", describes the "aesthetic" phase of existence. It takes the form of many tangential aphorisms and musings on the aesthetic mode of life, which are labelled 'Diapsalmata'. The word 'diapsalmata' is related to 'psalms', and means "refrains". In this section Kierkegaard's character evaluates the Mozart's Don Giovanni (in the essay "The Immediate Erotic Stages") and Goethe, and examines the concept of 'First Love' as a pinnacle for the aestheticist, using his idiosyncratic concepts of 'closedness' (indesluttethed in Danish) ...

Each maqam evokes a specific emotion or set of emotions determined by the tone row and the nucleus, with different maqams sharing the same tone row but differing in nucleus and thus emotion. Maqam rast evokes pride. Maqam bayatī: vitality, joy, and femininity. Sīkah: love. Saba: sadness and pain. Hijaz: distant desert. Emotion is evoked in part through change in the size of an interval during a maqam presentation.

Jessica Biel played eldest daughter Mary from the show's beginning. However, gradually dissatisfied with her "goody goody" image, Biel eventually posed for semi-nude photographs for Gear magazine which the producers of the show did not like. During the fifth (2000-2001) season, her character had gone through a rebellious phase, and this storyline was used to write Biel out of the show, sending Mary to her grandparents' house in Buffalo, New York for some tough love to counter her rebellious behaviour. During the sixth season (2001 - 2002), Mary returned home but the differences between Biel and the producers led to Mary ...

Burns's stage persona in his final phase of professional life included an image as a sexy senior citizen (very senior: "I'd love to date women my own age---but there are no women my own age") that became a running gag for the rest of his career. He often shared the social company of very attractive young women, but he was never known to be crude or boorish with them and had a reputation for treating them with respect. But his heart still belonged to Gracie, all those years after her death. He never remarried; indeed, except for ...

Holoenergetic healing (Holoenergetics): Psychotherapeutic form of energy healing (see vibrational medicine) christened and advanced by Leonard Laskow, M.D., author of Healing with Love (Harper, 1992). The expression Holoenergetic healing means healing with the energy of the whole.

The method's principles include the following.

(a)           Separation is illusory.

(b)           Maintenance of this illusion requires energy.

(c)           Often, physical or mental illness or stress is symptomatic of such consumption of energy.

(d)           Releasing oneself from the illusion of separation liberates tremendous energy.

(e)           Healing is the gradual elimination of the illusion of separation.

Holoenergetics comprises four stages:

(a)           the recognition phase, wherein the patient identifies the source of his or her illness;

(b)          the resonance phase, wherein the patient comes to terms with the aforementioned source;

(c)           release, wherein the patient releases the disharmonious energetic pattern associated with the source; and

(d)           the reformation phase, wherein, according to Laskow, the patient replaces the dysfunctional pattern with an image symbolizing the positive life-force intent...the energy that's aligned with the natural order and harmony of the inherent healing process of the body.

GARDENING THERAPY

Horticultural therapists (HT) are specially educated and trained members of rehabilitation and therapy teams who involve patients in all phases of gardening.

HT professionals use this type of treatment as a complementary therapy along with doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, behavioral specialists, vocational skills instructors and others. Horticultural therapists are experts on the medical and psychological benefits of gardening and facilitating improvement of the patients' physical, social and mental well-being. 

Horticultural therapy can be applied at hospitals and institutions, vocational training facilities, nursing homes and assisted living centers, halfway houses, rehabilitation facilities, correctional facilities, schools, arboreta and botanical gardens, farms and horticultural businesses, and community gardens.

Everyone who enjoys gardening knows that working with plants fulfills basic human needs. Horticultural therapy can facilitate these benefits on many levels. Groups for whom horticultural therapy has proven to be beneficial include people who are physically disabled, mentally ill, developmentally disabled, elderly, substance abusers, terminally ill and socially disadvantaged. It can be used with families, as therapy for an ailing member, or a memorial to a departed loved one. Gardening therapy may be as simple as plants on a patio, perhaps with small sculptures. Ill children and the elderly benefit from directly experiencing nature: Planting, watching their plants grow and enjoying the blossoming flowers.
