Do you suffer from your
parents' drama, your partner's demands, your boss's moods?
Do you want to untangle your relationships and reclaim your emotional freedom?
What are Pheromones?
Pheromones are chemicals that allow communication.
Pheromones can relay information important for reproduction, mate
selection, species and gender identification, and social status. The
transference of pheromones between individuals is a form of chemical
communication that is unconscious in humans.
Pheromones were described as natural chemicals that
stimulate other individuals of the same species (Karlson and Luscher,
1959). In 1976, neuro-endocrine responses elicited by pheromones were proposed
in mammals (Johns et al, 1978).
In the 1990's, Dr Louis Monti et al identified a group of nasal
chemosensory receptor sites as the functional nasal receptors for human
pheromones and vomeropherins. Human receptors for pheromones and vomeropherins are not
olfactory receptors, although the receptors are concentrated in the nasal septum.
Pheromones and
vomeropherins can initiate neural impulses in your nasal receptors that affect
your brain
function. Your vomeronasal
organ (VNO) (also called Jacobson's organ) is the part of your olfactory system
that detects pheromones and vomeropherins. It signals your brain to motivate action
...
perhaps you can already smell and respond to fear, or the mood of a crowd.
Pheromones can signal danger, mark territory and indicate
readiness for sexual activity. Some companies
market pheromone products that are claimed to enhance sexual manipulation or reduce PMS
symptoms.
In the Pits
In a study reported in the Biology of Reproduction journal,
Preti and team placed pads under the armpits of male donors. They extracted
compounds from the sweat, and, masked by a fragrance, let female volunteers
smell them. After being exposed to the smells, the women reported feeling more
relaxed. (After menopause or a hysterectomy, most women’s ability to detect
odors lessens.)
Your armpits create pheromones and you may
unconsciously "mark" the neck and shoulders of people if you put
your arm around them. Do you rub cheeks or kiss the cheeks, neck and shoulders
of interesting strangers? Perhaps you are unconsciously checking for
pheromone markers.
If you smell someone's neck, your vomeronasal
organ (VNO) receives chemical communication. If your VNO signals "danger -
marked by large aggressive person", you may find reasons to justify avoiding
this person. If you receive no signal (due to no marking or recent cleansing)
you may seek other nonverbal or verbal information. If you receive signals that smell
right, you may feel motivated to flirt.
We suspect that pheromones carry massive information about
people's relationships, and perhaps medical situation and that your VNO
presents this information to you as a felt sense
that you may call intuition. If you are close to certain people - to
children, siblings, parents, good friends - your intuition may signal you when they're hurt or
happy; when they're in trouble ... or in love.
Intuition & Conscience
If you understand non-verbal communication and pheromone stimulation,
intuition is neither magical nor mysterious. This mental tool uses your
perceptions of things that may not be otherwise obvious, such as
facial expressions, scent cues, near-forgotten memories, behavior and body language to
give you irrational, and often useful, insights.
If you take time to check your intuition, you may "sense"
what is happening in your relationships and be prepared for it.
Intuition can help you sort through overwhelming data quickly, and
filter what you want - or don't want to be aware of - if your intuition is
accurate.
Conscience is a quality that varies between people depending
upon an awareness of moral and ethical consequences of actions. Conscience seems
to be a product of upbringing, education and experience and recognizes
differences between right and wrong. The driver for conscience may be the part
of our mind that assesses our sense of life in relation to the world. We and
many others call this ... integrity.
How can you know that your intuitions are not only accurate but
relevant? By testing and double and triple checking! We can teach you how to amplify and
check intuitions in our systemic coach training.
Pheromones and Intuition in Systemic Coaching
Do you sometime have intuitions about people? Do
you intuit their history, their goals and what they’re thinking? To avoid
confusion and craziness we suggest that you check and double-check your
guesses. It is easy to guess wrong - or to project your own stuff onto
people - or to confuse one person with someone else.
When we coach people, we notice and strive to interpret
their non-verbal cues. Often our guesses are shockingly accurate; and
sometimes we miss the boat. People are often astounded that we seem to know
what they have done, what they are doing now or what they are considering.
Intuition is not magic - intuition is a set of emotional-psychological-mental
skills that we can all share. Our systemic coach training can fine tune
your intuition and show you how to check it quickly.
When our intuition guesses are wrong, we strive to find out
why. Usually the answer is in one of the common
transferences - we teach classes on how to recognize and dissolve six basic
transferences. And sometimes people avoid revealing too much - and only later
tell us how accurate we were.
Pheromones provide a more useful model than
morphogenetic fields as a source of intuition
about the entanglements and
bonds of nearby people. Perhaps pheromones carry medical information too.
To experiment with pheromones in human systems, simply
step close to an exercise partner and slowly inhale through your nose.
Then allow yourself to fantasize your exercise partner's
relationship situation, history and prognosis ... even thoughts ... and then use
our
relationship diagnosis to check your guesses.
You can learn quickly by rating yourself, dissolving your biases, entanglements
and transferences and practicing again ... and again.
