Isenzo sethenda, noma imizuzwana embalwa, sidala uketshezi kwamahomoni amaningi enjabulo njenge-endorphin, i-oxytocin ne-dopamine. Ukwelashwa ngokuganga, ikhambi elisebenzayo ekulweni nengcindezi nokudangala kwesikhashana?

Ubumnene buhlukaniswa nesifiso sobulili. Kunalokho isenzo sothando nomusa komunye umuntu esimthandayo, ebunganeni bethu noma othandweni. Kunezindlela eziningi zokubonisa ubumnene, ngokubuka, ukumamatheka, ukwanga, ukuphulula, igama elinomusa noma isipho.

Uma ukuhleleka kwezenhlalo okubekwe yinkinga yezempilo manje kulungile, ubumnene nokho buhlinzeka ngezinzuzo eziningi. Ukwelashwa kwe-Cuddle manje sekungenziwa maphakathi nomgwaqo ngokugona kwamahhala kwendabuko, inhlangano eyadalwa ngo-2004 eSydney, e-Australia ngumuntu ocindezelekile ngokuba yedwa edolobheni lapho ayengazi muntu khona. Kukhona nemihlangano yokubonisana, eqale yacatshangwa e-United States, eqhamuka emadolobheni amaningi. Igoli ? Phinda wenze ubumnene nomusa empilweni yansuku zonke.

Ukuhaga, ukwangana noma ukuphululwa kunikeza izinzuzo ezidingekayo kubantu, ikakhulukazi phakathi neminyaka yokuqala yokuphila kwabo. Ngempela, ngokusho kukadokotela wezifo zengqondo kanye nomqondo wezengqondo waseBrithani uJohn Bowlby, owaziwa ngomsebenzi wakhe wokunamathisela kanye nobudlelwano phakathi komama nengane, ukuthinta nobumnene yizidingo zomuntu ezingokwemvelo. Isikhumba esikhunjeni naso sifakwa ngokushesha ngemuva kokuzalwa ukuze siduduze futhi siqinisekise nosana olusanda kuzalwa.

Kumzali, lokhu kuthintana kwethenda kuphumela ekusithekeni kwe-oxytocin, i-hormone yothando nokunamathiselwa, nakho okusebenza ngesikhathi sokubeletha nokuncelisa.

Ngokomongo wocwaningo lwakhe, uDkt Bowlby uphawula ikakhulukazi ukuthi, ngesikhathi seMpi Yesibili Yomhlaba, izingane ezihlukaniswe nonina futhi zingatholi uthando ziba nezinkinga ezinkulu njengokungondleki kahle, ukuhamba ngezimoto nokukhubazeka kwengqondo noma zisenenkinga yokulala.

Umbono obonwe kuma-primates

Isidingo sokuzithinta siyabonakala nakubazala bethu izinyamazane ze-anthropoid lapho kujabulisa, okusho ukuthi isenzo sokukhipha abafo kuzinambuzane nokungcola, kungadlulela ngaphezu kwamahora ambalwa.

Ngokusho kukaProfesa Robin Dunbar, isazi semvelo nomuntu kanye nomnyango wezokuhlolwa kwengqondo eYunivesithi yase-Oxford, lo msebenzi wezenhlalo uhlose ngaphezu kwakho konke "ukukhombisa ukwesekwa" nokunamathela kwamanye amalungu eqembu. Futhi kuyindlela yokwelula ukuxhumana… nezinzuzo zako.

Ukukhishwa kwamahomoni enjabulo egazini, okubangelwa ubumnene, kunciphisa ukushaya kwenhliziyo nomfutho wegazi. Ngempela, ukukhiqizwa kwe-endorphin kusiza ukulwa ne-hormone yokucindezeleka, i-cortisol. I-Dopamine ne-endorphin benza inhlalakahle kanye nomuzwa wenjabulo yomuntu ngamunye.

Le cocktail yehomoni nayo ingasebenza ekumelaneni nokwehla kwesikhashana kokuziphatha. Akusizi ngalutho ukuthi iWorld Hug Day inguJanuwari 21, phakathi nobusika, okuyisikhathi lapho kwanda khona ubungozi bokucindezeleka ngezikhathi ezithile zonyaka.

Uma i-oxytocin, i-hormone yokunamathisela, ifihlwa ngumzimba phakathi kwezigaba ezahlukahlukene zokuba ngumama, iphinde iphazamise nobudlelwano bezithandani.

Ubufakazi bokuthi isisa esivuselelayo kungenye yezinsika zobudlelwano obunothando obufezayo, ocwaningweni olushicilelwe eNational Library of Medicine, uKaren Grewen, udokotela wezifo zengqondo futhi oyilungu leYunivesithi yaseNorth Carolina e-United States, waphawula ukuthi imibhangqwana ejabulayo inamazinga aphezulu ye-oxytocin egazini labo.

Ngaphezu kokwenza abantu bajabule, ubumnene buzosebenza ngokumelene nemikhuhlane. Kunoma ikuphi, lokhu kuboniswa ngocwaningo olwenziwe kubantu abangaphezu kwama-400 yisazi sokusebenza kwengqondo saseMelika uSheldon Cohen, wase-University of Carnegie-Mellon ePittsburg ePennsylvania. Ngokuveza ngokuzithandela amavolontiya kwelinye lamagciwane abandayo, wabona ukuthi ukubamba imizuzu emihlanu kuya kweyishumi ngosuku kwandisa ukumelana namagciwane esizini.

Ukunxephezela ukungabi bikho kwesisa nokuxhumana nabantu abodwa noma asebekhulile, abanye abelaphi noma amakhaya abathatha umhlalaphansi basebenzisa izilwane.

Ukulamula kwezilwane okuvumela ukuletha ubumnene, ukuthuthukisa ukushintshana nokunciphisa umuzwa wesizungu. Isibonelo, inhlangano ye-pattes tendresse engu-4 inikeza ukuvakashelwa okusizwa yizilwane ukuze "kwakheke ubudlelwane bezenhlalo nobungokomzwelo" esikhungweni sesibhedlela.

Ingabe ukwelashwa kwe-Cuddle kuzonqunywa ngumuthi kadokotela?
