A woman who "lost her sexuality" after heartbreak got a celebrity-approved "orgasm shot," costing $1,400.00 per session, and said it's made her "feel alive again."
Glória Vieira, 50, felt she'd "lost" her sexuality after the end of her 16-year marriage.
It's "science." And I get to give the shots.
She said her sexuality has always been a "big part" of her identity, and she wanted to bring it back.
After some research she stumbled across research about the "orgasm shot," said to increase sensitivity and improve sex.
It is a series of injections of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) into the intimate areas to stimulate tissue development.
Within two weeks Vieira began feeling the effects of the shot and said it was "as close as I could get to a miracle."
Vieira, an accountant based in Brighton, East Sussex, UK, said: "When my marriage ended, I wondered what I could do to make me feel like myself again. More
Vagus nerve stimulation: 3 Tricks to Stop Anxiety Fast

A flexible spine means youth.
This video is about how to use ancient yoga techniques to warm up the parasympathetic nervous system response to help calm down, relax, and find greater peace and balance in life.
The key is to stimulate the vagus nerve -- the vagabond or wandering nerve that runs down either side of the neck. It plays a key role in stimulating the body’s parasympathetic nervous system (self-soothing to get back to the "rest and digest" mode).
It is involved in a host of important bodily functions, including stabilizing mood, digestion, and heart rate.
When the vagus nerve is operating optimally, it’s referred to as high vagal tone. This doesn’t mean we’ll never feel anxious or upset, but it does mean that we’ll be able to "respond" rather than "react" in those moments.
And we’ll be much more adept at self-soothing and calming ourselves down when a situation arises.

ANATOMY: What is the vagus nerve? The name vagus comes from Latin, meaning "to wander," like a vagabond. This tenth cranial nerve wanders throughout the thoracic cavity. It innervates some of the most important muscles and is responsible for some vital functions such as: breathing, speaking, swallowing, blood pressure, heart rate, orgasm, taste, circulation, digestion, gut health, and more.
The nerve itself sits within a fascial tube, called the carotid sheath. The carotid sheath is an important landmark in head and neck anatomy and contains several vital neurovascular structures, including the carotid artery, jugular vein, vagus nerve, and sympathetic plexus.
Once we understand what the vagus nerve is and why it’s important, this video offers some simple ways to stimulate this nerve to self-soothe and calm ourselves down when we need to.
Use headphones: Release subconscious fear, trapped negative energy with deep theta binaural beat
This soundtrack, which is accompanied by stunningly beautiful images of nature, is a 432Hz tuned didgeridoo mixed with ambient sounds, white noise, monastic chanting, Om mantra, and Solfeggio frequencies 852Hz and 963Hz.
It is a powerful auditory and visual healing, a rejuvenating journey, an easy meditation session.
When releasing subconscious negative blocks, emotions, or energies, negativity may surface to be healed and released. Feel it, focus on the emotion, allow (accept) it, [take the lesson], and its energy will release. This is the healing. It may release within one listening session or may require several listens over a longer period of time.More

Why is the USA polluting the seas with trash?

Trash is coming, not the cleanup.
(NPR/The Two-Way) Plastic is one of those inventions that transformed the world. It's light, durable, and lots of things can be made with it.
But it's also transforming Earth's oceans -- and not in a good way. A lot of plastic ends up there. Scientists are just now getting a handle on how much plastic trash has gone to sea. Up until now, estimates have been very rough. It's hard to measure waste in the oceans; after all, salt water covers 70 percent of the planet.
But another way to figure out what's out there is to measure how much debris is coming off the land. That's what engineer Jenna Jambeck, at the University of Georgia, decided to do (publishing her findings in this week's issue of the journal Science). Jambeck was a good fit for the job. More
