QUOTES 11/29/2016

“The first nude psychotherapy session took place on June 16, 1967 at a nudist resort in California, with 24 participants.  Other sessions were held at fancy hotels that offered natural environments and large facilities. . . Most participants were strangers to each other, but they were expected to share an unmatched level of emotional and physical opening with the group. . . Participants were invited to experience ‘eyeball’ (look into the eyes of each other over a short distance) and then, to respond in some physical form (embrace, etc.).  After this icebreaker, the participants were stripped down in the dark with musical accompaniment before joining a small circle to perform a ‘meditation’. . . Freely mixing psychoanalysis and Maslovian theory, Bindrim told participants that needed to renew the heartache and frustration in your life, in order to achieve a State psychologically sanctified. . . The naked body was seen as a window to the soul, the real . . . the process of stripping the soul.  Nudist therapy was based on the idea of naked body as a metaphor of ‘psychological soul.’  The exposure of the naked body revealed what was more important, the real true. . . Nudist therapy had a great appeal because people were looking for spiritual transformation and more authenticity. . . In late 1970 and early 1980, nudist therapy fell into disuse.  Social attitudes began to become more conservative.  The Americans wanted to return to the moral climate of the Decade of 1950.” - http://osnaturistas.com/en/noticias/historia-da-psicoterapia-nudista/

“The body confidence learnt at that Naturist event taught him to feel confident about himself and he can now attend any public gym or pool and not fear being stared at or made to feel an outcast.  He also feels confident that when he starts a relationship he can speak openly about his bag and Naturism as they are both part of his life and who he is. . . [Billy] needed Naturism to get over the stigma of having a stoma bag . . .The same will apply to virtually any circumstance you might find yourself facing, be it operation scars, amputation, disfigurement, skin conditions, obesity, anorexia; anything that general opinion would suspect to be a problem to live with.  We should be proud to belong to such a caring, supportive community bound together by the love of nudity as nature intended.  Long may the sun shine on us!” - Roni Fine, http://www.bn.org.uk/articles.php/_/information/about-naturism/roni-writes/naturism-my-bag-and-me-r379

“Most people are uncomfortable seeing naked human beings because they have never seen naked human beings in any social situation.  When something is unseen it becomes unseeable.  The cure is for human beings to become seen often.” – Brad Kemp, https://www.facebook.com/groups/PromotingNudism/

“Everything evolves, but churches are stuck in an old-time mentality when it comes to nudity.  If you look closely at Genesis, you will find that God did not intend for us to be ashamed of our bodies.  Rather, it was a by-product of Adam and Eves shame for committing the first sin.  Christians believe that Jesus died to help rectify those sins so that all people who believe can stand before God unashamed.  The church should emphasize this point of redemption when dealing with the human body.” – Nate Dekan, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=2925&idt=17173&vpage=1
