Heartbreaks are one of the most painful, intense, brutal parts of life.  There’s so many layers, so many tender points, and all kinds of challenging feelings.  The more enmeshed the couple is, the more intense the pain can be, and the more layers there are to unravel and make peace with. Heartbreak affects us emotionally,…

Embodiment is defined as the tangible or visible form, of an idea, quality, feeling. In my own words, embodiment is a living and felt experience of one’s true nature, that has been discovered and developed through daily practices of self-cultivation. Embodiment is not the process, it is the outcome. The process is learning how to…

Romance can fit into most days.  Sure, there’s days when there’s no spare moment to give to romance, however I feel optimistic that it is in most people’s power to create 5 minutes each day to create a romantic moment with their beloved. It’s a misconception that people have in mind to think that they…

An attitude of gratitude is a key to all heart-centered dreams coming true. There will always be goals to work towards and the desire to progress forward in life.  Life is a process, a journey of self-discovery.  While attaining goals feels fulfilling, the bulk of life is made up of all the small moments, the…

In the deep core of our being there lives a place where all is well.  This is the temple sanctuary of true-self  or higher-self, which keeps one grounded in body, heart, and fluid with the moment.  Disconnection to this higher-self can be experienced as both physical and psychological disease.  It’s normal (and to a degree,…

The fullness of this moment offers the gift of great beauty and joy of living.  Beauty is life.  Life is joy, life is despair, and everything in between.  Beauty is both pleasure and pain.  Pain because, at its core is love, and that is beautiful. Here and now, this moment is.  It has never been,…

The moment is infused with beauty and the precious gift of being.  We are each a focal-center where the Earth and cosmos unite and create through our unique personal expression.  There’s a dance of two partners here, hand in hand. One partner, is the self – ego, personality, one’s free will to consciously choose and…

The heart has no boundaries, and the mind is master of limitations. Mind creates the container for the heart to our its love into, otherwise without mind, heart would lack a container to exist in, and its energy would scatter, creating leaks and exhaustion. Mind protects heart, and it can also repress heart. The heart…

There are two sides of the creation coin – the Masculine and the Feminine (Yang/Yin). They are both essential aspects of creation, and one depends upon the other in order for there to be a truly harmonious and effective desired outcome. These forces play out in infinite ways across the planet, of which all life…

The way to a woman’s body, is through her heart.  The way to a man’s heart, is through his body.  (This is a generalization, of course) I am going to speak in this article within the frame of heterosexual partnerships, where the woman is closed in her availability to give herself sexually to her man. …

In my work I have come to realize this core truth – of a man’s inherent desire to serve his woman and make her happy.  He wants nothing more than to give her what she wants and needs, in every aspect, and especially in the bedroom. When a man feels that he is rocking his…

The modern Western worlds general ‘bedroom culture’ of today is a conditioned product of over thousands of years, which greatly contributes to the degeneration of love and relationships between couples.  (The question that comes to my mind – when has it not?) It ultimately leaves the relationship unfulfilled and at least one person, if not…

Examining needs.  It’s easy to feel that a need must be filled from the external.  Yet, there is great power in redirecting it to the inner world so one can cultivate the solution to the need from within.  Taking full responsibility to own the need, and in doing so, allowing it to fulfill its purpose…

The stories we tell ourselves are incredibly powerful influences that guide our choices in relationship to others.  Through the language we use, we can create new stories in relationships to identify with.  This can free those involved from previously burdensome identities formed in stories of pain, and can allow for healing beyond those previous experiences.…

This isn’t the kind of friendship that feels cozy and comforting. It’s not supporting you in being stagnant in your own blind spots, denial, and delusions by agreeing with all the narratives you tell yourself and others in order to keep small, retain security, and eliminate fears through the bandaids of other people, places, situations,…

It starts with self-forgiveness. To not create this for oneself or for another, is like putting a self imposed limit on one’s heart, and one’s capacity to love. One would be saying to themselves, “I REFUSE to let myself love more than I ever have before.” Forgiving oneself and others is the gateway to growing…

Personal power is a force we all have access to.  Appropriate use is to consciously channel it to create optimal outcomes for the benefit of the whole.  It requires integrity, honesty, humility, authenticity, compassion, kindness, generosity, forgiveness.  It is also what supports vitality, personal accountability, responsibility.  It is refined through commitment, discipline, and walking a…

Mind, body, spirit – Human Being is basically a large sense organ.  We have physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual senses.  They receive input from both our internal and external experiences. The internal gives birth to the external.  Creation originates from inside us as thoughts, feelings ideas, intuitions, inspirations, impulses, and then we give birth to…

Benefits of silence Speaking just to speak and fill in space creates leaks in one’s energy field, and can contribute to a depletion of Yin (feminine energy).  Speaking just to speak tends to be empty in substance, and is a non-productive use of time for everyone involved in the experience of the speaking and the…
