Every teenage girl dreams about meeting their soul mate. As they mature it becomes an ever pressing question of how to attract a man that will fit into their expectations. While there is not a definitive solution of how to find love, research suggests we may want to look inside ourselves before we throw our hook into the sea.

Hormones are often thought to be responsible for sexual urges and bodily functions. The hormone oxytocin is important in not only sex but in trust and bonding. The hormone is released during labor and remains abundant throughout the weening period. It is believed to stimulate the bonding receptors between the mother and child. Oxytocin is also released when physical contact is made and sends a soothing message throughout our body triggering an instinctual trust.

The advent of drugs to treat male erection problems has led to an onslaught of sexually targeted products that attempt to tap into the physical properties of conditions long held to be psychological. Pills that delay ejaculation, herbal remedies to enhance sensation and even creams to restore a womans vagina to pre-childbirth condition.

In a consumer driven society that has access to products that can make you love , help you make love and even make love better, do individuals have any control over their emotions? Hypersensitivity to small nutritional or medicinal changes in our bodies that trigger such dramatic responses suggest that we are just one big chemlab experiment. I shudder to think of the marketing campaigns which will flood the market one the ugly pill is released.

I know they are both stereo-isomers, but I am not sure what physical properties are different between a pair of enantiomers?

or between a pair of diastereoisomers?

by the way, I am an organic chemistry 1 student in college. I have been looking all throughout my textbook, but can’t seem to find the answers I need. Please help

anyone knows? please help!!! thank you!!!

AP Chemistry course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first college year. The  course enables students to undertake, as freshmen, second-year work in the chemistry sequence at their institution or to register for courses in other fields where general chemistry is a prerequisite. AP Chemistry should meet the objectives of a good general chemistry course. The AP Chemistry course is designed to be taken after the completion of a first course in high school chemistry. The Advanced Placement Program encourage teachers, AP Coordinators, and school administrators to make equitable access a guiding principle for their AP programs. programs. All students who are willing to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum should be considered for admission to AP courses.

The Advanced Placement Program is a collaborative effort among motivated

students; dedicated teachers; and committed high schools, colleges, and universities. The AP Chemistry course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first college year. AP Chemistry should meet the objectives of a good college general chemistry course. The course should contribute to the development of the students’ abilities to think clearly and to express their ideas, orally and in writing, with clarity and logic.

Secondary schools that wish to offer an AP Chemistry course must be prepared to provide a laboratory experience equivalent to that of a typical college course. The AP Chemistry course is designed to be taken only after the successful completion of a first course in high school chemistry. Thus it is strongly recommended that credit in a first-year high school chemistry course be a prerequisite for enrollment in an AP Chemistry class. The recommended mathematics prerequisite for an AP Chemistry class is the successful completion of a second-year algebra course. It is highly desirable that a student have a course in secondary school physics and a four-year college-preparatory program in mathematics.

Developing the requisite intellectual and laboratory skills required of an AP Chemistry

student demands that adequate classroom and laboratory time be scheduled. At least six class periods or the equivalent per week should be scheduled for an AP Chemistry course. Time devoted to class and laboratory demonstrations should not be counted as part of the laboratory period. A contemporary college chemistry text that stresses principles and concepts and their relation to the descriptive chemistry on which they are based should be selected.  The importance of the theoretical aspects of chemistry has brought about an increasing emphasis on these aspects of the content of general chemistry courses.

Topics such as the structure of matter, kinetic theory of gases, chemical equilibria,

chemical kinetics, and the basic concepts of thermodynamics are now being presented in considerable depth. If the objectives of a college-level general chemistry course are to be achieved, instruction should be done by a teacher who has completed an undergraduate major program in chemistry including at least a year’s work in physical chemistry. Because of the nature of the AP course, the teacher needs time for extra preparation for

both class and laboratory and should have a teaching load that is adjusted accordingly.

Essential oils are the carrier of the plant’s soul. Anthroposophy founder Rudolf Steiner states: “Matter is most spiritual in the perfume of the plant…When the spirit most closely approaches the physical earth, then we have the perception of fragrance.”

According to Kabbalah, the human soul contains animal-, plant- and human soul components. Thus, each of us has the ability to relate to plant souls on a soul-to-soul level. When the human soul becomes preoccupied with the daily challenges of life, rational consciousness becomes estranged from the higher self and mired in “stuckness.” All chronic diseases have this quality of inertia in common.

The plant soul is not encumbered by ego, so it has the qualities of purity and infinity. Thus, the individualized plant soul combination within an essential oil blend, when proffered to the human soul, has the potential to be eagerly received and infuse the latter with impetus to move beyond limitation by changing its orientation from the finite to the Infinite.

Key to moving the soul in this way is the formulation of an oil blend which accurately reflects an individual’s true self. Living within the context of one’s true soul nature requires continuous connection with one’s higher self. Happiness is the key to wellness. No unhappy person can truly be well. In turn, the key to happiness lies in accepting, and living in accordance with, one’s authentic self and having this acknowledged by others.

In order to do soul-level healing work with essential oils, one has to become familiar with the inner- or soul-nature of each of the essential oils that is worked with.

Using Imaginative Consciousness

In this discussion, the term imaginative consciousness refers to overcoming limitations of analysis of the material aspects of essential oils performed exclusively by senses and intellect via a complementary perception of the spiritual roots which sustain said material aspects. Like the human soul, the plant soul contains the spiritual roots for plants’ material and bioenergetic manifestations. Hence, when using essential oils for soul-spiritual work, all the biophysical and bioenergetic features of the plant are used to develop an understanding of spiritual roots.

Plants are alive and all living things are ensouled. Just like each of our souls is unique and has certain individualized specificities and tangible qualities, so do plant souls. The specific mix of archetypal qualities which are encoded into each soul gives rise to the various characteristics and behavioral modes we manifest in our lives.

Similarly, a plant’s biochemistry, form, growth characteristics, therapeutic properties and historical and folkloric associations are reflections or images of its soul’s constituent pattern of archetypal qualities. These archetypal images can be used to identify the unique nature of an essential oil’s true self - its natural expression of being.

If essential oils are blended together with an understanding of the true inner nature of each oil, the oils in the blend will merge and form a uniquely organized ensouled substance which is more powerfully charged with soul force than the sum of its parts. When diverse soul energies are synchronized in this way, the integrated soul force demonstrates what is referred to as emergent behavior. In turn, this can be used to catalyze emergent behavior in the human soul which is directed toward harmonization and the elaboration of that person’s true self.

We generally forsake our true selves in early childhood when we are taught that they are not enough. We then exchange our natural expression of being for a survival personality we fabricate that hopefully proves to be functional and meets the approval of our parents, teachers, etc. In the process, we become estranged from the true self, or ‘living soul’, and this estrangement fuels the sense of incompleteness, aloneness and disharmony we struggle with our entire lives.

The key to achieving soul-level reintegration via work with essential oils is the ability to get beyond a focus on their biochemistry and therapeutic actions and access and acknowledge the unique soul-nature of each oil that is the spiritual root of the oil’s physical properties. When this is done, the plant souls harbored within the oils will respond reciprocally and the human soul/plant soul encounter will be illuminated by spirit.

The greater the number of essential oils one understands on this level, the more dynamic the potential for creating blends which will touch the soul on deeper and deeper levels and provide the illumination to lead it from inertial stuckness and fragmentation to wholeness and soul-to-soul relation with all elements of the natural world. In this way one can re-establish the natural capacity, lost in early childhood, to connect earthly fire with heavenly light.
