IMPOTENCE & ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Impotence refers to a man’s absolute inability to obtain a penile erection even after proper stimulation. If the condition is not absolute, i.e.; either erections are not complete or there is an inability to maintain them long enough, then the condition in general is called ‘penile dysfunction’.
Erectile dysfunction is an inability to achieve or maintain an erection, making intercourse difficult or impossible. The cause may be primary but is more often secondary, the incidence increases steeply with age. The sexual excitement is controlled by the brain and not by the Penis.
Because an erection requires a precise sequence of events, ED can occur when any of the events is disrupted. The sequence includes nerve impulses in the brain, spinal column, and area around the penis, and response in muscles, fibrous tissues, veins, and arteries in and near the corpora cavernosa.
Impotence, Erectile Dysfunction –
CAUSE :- In majority of cases psychological reasons are implicated.
Vascular disease involving internal pudendal artery is thought to be one of the reasons for age related impotency. A nerve injury or spinal cord injury may result in impotence. Impotence may be an early symptom of diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, tabes dorsalis etc.
Major Causes:
Stress, anxiety, worry, excessive work load, acute illness, low self-esteem, fear of sexual failure, guilt of sexual excesses, mental and emotional compatibility and relationship issues etc
Neuropathy e.g. diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis
Vascular disease (most common cause of erectile dysfunction in middle aged and elderly men
Abnormal veins draining the penis (can cause primary erectile failure)
Nerve damage (through injury or pelvic surgery)
Local penile deformities
Tobacco, alcohol intake
Drugs (certain antidepressants, anti-convulsants etc)
Psychological factors can cause, perpetuate and complicate erectile dysfunction like guilt. Performance anxiety due to life events, stress, organic factors or relationships factors leads to initial failure, doubt of worry followed by “spectatoringa’ in which self-critical monitoring of the body’s performance leads to repeated failure, such that the situation becomes chronic.
Impotence, Erectile Dysfunction – SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Inability to get an erection is usually the only complaint. In cases of penile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and spermatorrhoea may be found. Depression often accompanies impotence. Severe depression can lead to impotence and impotence can lead to depression. It works both ways.
A psycho-social examination, using an interview and a questionnaire, can reveal psychological factors. A man’s sexual partner may also be interviewed to determine expectations and perceptions during sexual intercourse.
Exercise daily - it increases the level of male hormones, increases the level of certain neuro hormones, which result in mood elevation and it increases the peripheral blood circulation.
Surrogate Sex Therapy, Kegel exercises and deep Healing of the Mind/Body may help restore performance levels after medical and psychological intervention is over.

UNDERSTANDING THE SELF
Soul Sign:- Soul is essentially unconditional love, the energy that connects all things and all beings in the Oneness of life.
Reflection:- An enemy mentality blocks soul and destroys connection. Many people think that enemies really exist and do not believe that we humans are all brothers and sisters, or even more than that, that we are one another... that other people are just aspects of ourselves. When you have an enemy mentality you either focus on destroying the enemy or try to defend yourself against the enemy. If you do this you then live in fear which is self destructive. When you have an enemy mentality you cannot fulfill your purpose for your life. You will act against your own purpose, thus diminishing yourself.
What can you do today to be more accepting of others without diminishing yourself?

Mental Health & Causes of Imbalances
Mental Health & Causes Of Imbalances
A questionnaire prepared by Dr. William C Menninger – President of the Menninger Foundation, Topeka, Kansas. U.S.A.
Mental health is not just absence of psychological diseases but the balanced development of an individual’s personality and emotional attitudes, which enable him to live harmoniously with his fellow beings. A mentally healthy person is able to maintain stability of mind in the midst of adverse conditions.
1. Are you always worrying?
2. Are you unable to concentrate because of unrecognised reasons?
3. Are you continually unhappy without justified cause?
4. Do you lose your temper easily and often?
5. Do you have wide fluctuations in your mood? From depression to elation, back to depression, which incapacitate you? 6. Are you troubled by regular insomnia?
7. Do you continually dislike being with people?
8. Are you upset if the routine of your life is disturbed?
9. Do your children consistently get on your nerves?
10. Are you browned off and constantly bitter?
11. Are you afraid without real cause?
12. Are you always right and the other person always wrong?
13. Do you have numerous aches and pains for which no doctor can find a physical cause?
The conditions charted above are the major warning signals of poor mental health and severe imbalance, which could be termed as a mental dis-ease in one degree or another. It is an indicator that the person is definitely in need of help. The primary action to reverse the above situations is:
• To realize one’s mistakes and make a firm decision to take corrective steps.
• To understand the fundamental truths of life. On this basis one’s belief system also becomes positive.
• To make sincere and tireless efforts until the objectives of one’s life are achieved. • To fulfill the social and family responsibilities like a trustee and, at the same time, to remain free from unhealthy habits.
Natural and Energy Therapeutics like Quantum Touch, Craniosacral and Reiki can effectively rebalance the mental health of any person without medication; just by regulating the natural energy flow as and when required with convenience it calms the mind and bringing total relaxation and stress release. One is filled with a sensation of peace, vitality & joy resulting in mental balance of each individual in a personal way. Natural Therapies are not intended to replace orthodox medicine, but always compliments it. But in situations where medicines fail to produce the desired results, natural remedies at times work miracles. Its time people make their choices and preferences openly.

About Reiki - a brief introduction
REIKI HOLISTIC HEALING
Reiki (ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force (Sarva-vyapi Prana Shakti) and a system of natural healing that channels Reiki through the hands. It is known by many other names also.
The traditional Asian medical paradigm views injury, dysfunction and disease as manifesting when subtle energies are weak, distorted or out-of-balance. Tai Chi, Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Hatha Yoga, Shiatsu, Polarity, Macrobiotics, Radionics, and herbal remedies are means of optimizing subtle auric and internal energies.
Reiki accesses the source of Life to heal the self and others on spiritual, mental, emotional and physical levels. Reiki allows the source of well being to enhance and balance natural life forces through non-intrusive therapeutic touch. It is applied for health maintenance, pain relief, and mental quietude and healing for physical and mental diseases.
Reiki augments and accelerates the inner healing process. It can be effective in cases that do not respond to other forms of treatment. It can be used in conjunction with any other therapeutic modality.
Creative energy is the essence of all healing. Dr. Albert Schweitzer said, "We physicians do nothing, we only help and encourage the physician within."
Reiki an ancient Divine Light Healing system practiced since time immemorial worldwide by the priests in the temples of the ancient civilizations of Atlantis and Egypt, was rediscovered in the late 1800's a specific formula for accessing Universal Life Force was discovered in Buddhist Lotus Verses (sutras) found in a Kyoto Zendo by a scholar seeking knowledge of what the Buddha taught about healing. Mikao Usui was contemplating what he had learned when he received a transcendental initiation, the results of which were the abilities of healing by laying on of the hands and of sending healing over distance. Much later he realized that the experience of God is more essential to fulfillment of the purpose of life than the power of healing.
Reiki is an essence, which comes from the Source of Life itself. Since Reiki is multi-dimensional it can be a catalytic factor in personal evolution no matter what religious beliefs are held. The experience of Reiki is a vehicle to becoming conscious of your own being regardless of faith or concepts. The innate ability to channel healing energy through the hands is awakened through a series of direct transmission initiations, which attune and align energy centers in the body and hands. Reiki is not a system of religious beliefs. The world does not need another. Anyone can learn Reiki; it is very simple.
Reiki relieves stress and pain, relaxes muscle spasms, releases emotional blockages, and accelerates natural healing. It stimulates the immune system; and balance subtle body energies, is beyond belief and can be used in conjunction with any other therapeutic modality. It is effective on chronic and acute illness or injury and can be learned by anyone. It uses laying on of the hands. The healing can also be sent over any distance, is a means of sharing love, is completely safe and benign. It protects the practitioner and is The Universal Life Force Energy.
The only way to know it is to feel it. If you are interested in having a treatment, look for a local Reiki Practitioner or Master. If you are interested in becoming a Reiki Practitioner look for your local Reiki Master.
