A Message For Women:

3/6/2016

0 Comments

 
I Love the work that I do. It is my Passion and my Calling. And since my work revolves around the connection between couples; married or not...I thought I would take this opportunity to give some sisterly advice to each of the sexes...starting with us 'women'...or those of us who are dominant with Feminine Energy. My next blog will be my advice to the men.

Please note that in the best interest of using words effectively; that I will use the words 'Women' and 'Men' as the means to identify the Feminine and the Masculine Energy. You can be a masuculine woman and relate more to what "men" go through...or an effeminate man - and relate to the feminine energy in your relationship. The terms "man" and "woman" are used to speak directly to that which is primarily "masculine" or "feminine" within each of us.

Society has done a disservice to our men...and in doing so, we have all paid the price. Through a project called "The Feminine Touch Movement", I am seeking to equip women to be an Oasis - for refreshing...and to be a Healer for their man. Men today are confused...and together...we can restore what's been lost...and bring about the benefits of the current-day evolution that we are experiencing - into the bedroom and beyond.

Not too long ago, the number one show on television was called "Father Knows Best". We looked up to the Leadership that the Masculine provides. Today...we are inindated with television shows, movies and commercials where the man is seen as clueless...while the strong and beautiful wife or partner rolls her eyes - and the children laugh. These can be amusing at times...but the overall message is clear. The respect that we once had for Men has diminished.

This is the backlash of the Women's Movement. Although I believe the movement was necessary and helpful in most ways...the pendulum has swung a bit too far and it wasn't so much about having the  "Choice" to be a wife, stay-at-home mom or to choose to work. The former choice became symbolic of oppressed and weak women. And instead of being proud to 'stand by your man'...we became ridiculed for it. This has been a detriment to the core functioning of famiies.

I am grateful for the Feminist Movement that came before me so that I could experience the freedoms I do. But I also see that most of us women are pretty tired and worn. We want to be with our families...but the demands of this world often keep us from being fully present with them. We used to be cheerleaders to our men. Encouraging them as they went out for the hunt...in the world to provide for the family. They would come home to a tender love that would wipe their brow. Even Jesus needed that tenderness and received it from the Nurturing Feminine Energy.

One of the Joys of the Feminine Energy is to be a support to those we love. It does not diminish our value. It is our Power. Of course we can still have a successful career, interests of our own, higher education and wonderfully fulfilling friends in addition to our motherly obligations. We CAN have it all...just not all at the same time. And in the pursuit of finding Who We Are...I fear we've forgotten that Tender, Nurturing Love... that is so precious to the men we love. I call this special tenderness - our 'wiping of their brow'. 

My encouragement for us women is to remember that our men are not perfect. And (gasp!!) neither are we. We all need to let go of fault-finding and trying to change our partner into who we think they should be. Let's learn to praise what is 'right' - while extending mercy when mistakes are made. Resolve to be the ONE person on the face of the earth that can be our man's "soft place to land". I know that when we share our unique gift of nurturing tender love - we will be the ones who will fully understand why it is "More Blessed to Give than to Receive". Because trust me...it is IN the Giving that we Receive - all the Treasures of the Masculine Soul.

Masculine and Feminine Energies

12/16/2012

One of the favorite parts of my work is educating my clients on Masculine/Feminine Energy. The very thing we are most attracted to in our partners ~ can often lead to our biggest frustrations. We all know that most men are infused healthy doses of the hormone testosterone.
This is the 'sex' hormone. It causes the brain and body to quickly respond to
sexual impulses and thoughts.

The more 'Masculine' a man is...the more likely he will be to be 'under the influence' of
this hormone. Likewise, most women are infused with healthy
doses of estrogen. This is the 'emotional' hormone. It causes us women to be
keenly aware of what we are feeling in an instant...and the 'fire' to express it.

Is your partner more 'masculine'? Then be prepared for pragmatic logic to guide
this beautiful Soul.

Is your partner more 'feminine'? Then be prepared for emotions, not logic...to guide this precious Person.

The Yin and the Yang are symbols which illustrate the balance that the masculine and feminine bring to each other and to the Earth. In the animal kingdoms and in human families...the strength of the masculine and the nurturing of the feminine brings a sense of wholeness and well-being to the offspring/children.

Some of our tendencies are taught and nurtured by our Culture and Environment...but much of it really IS genetics. So it is important to appreciate this and each other for the gifts each of us bring to the relationship. And it's important to have patience in the midst of these opposing forces of these energies...because, after all...it is the polarity of these energies that ignite the passion between two people...

A close friend of mine lives in Hawaii...and I have had the privilege of spending time with her on the Big Island. I have learned an important lesson that Hawaiian Nature longs to teach those of us who have 'ears to hear'.

Volcanoes often erupt with all their fury and majesty. They explode with great force. And the Lava they produce runs down the sides of their mountains...into the Raging Sea. When the two meet...there is a clash...of Power and of Beauty. Producing much 'steam'...

Those Who are evolved beyond the simplistic understanding of Love...understand this Steam literally creates 'energy fields' in the atmosphere...that serve so many beyond themselves. And so it is with US.

Allow the Polarities of the Powerful and Fiery Masculine merge with the Wild and Raging Feminine. Do NOT be afraid...or try to tame it.  The Wildness of Nature is there to teach us to abandon all fears and to embrace the Freedom that comes with Unconditionally
Accepting your Energetic Polarity.

May Our 'Steam' Arise...and cause many to gaze upon the evidence of what the Power of Love can create...

Chakras 101

12/2/2012

Eastern Cultures have long accepted Chakras as a part of our Holistic Being. Here in the West...there is some confusion and even resistance to the concept.

The word "Chakras" is a Sanskrit word meaning "Wheels". They are Spinning Vortex Energy Centers within each of us...that are 2-4 inches in length and width. They are detected through electromagnetic field detectors. We have many Chakras...but 7 more powerful ones that we focus on...and they activate the other - smaller chakras.

Chakras affect our Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Health. One of the Foundations of Tantra is to Activate and Connect the Chakras so that we enter into a Wholeness that will bring Peace and Fulfillment to ALL areas of our lives. 

Here is a very brief overview of the 7 Main Chakras:

Chakra One - The Base Chakra - is all about Survival; located at the base of your spine.

Chakra Two - The Sacral Chakra - is all about Letting Go and Letting Life Flow; located at the Lower Abdomen.

Chakra Three - Solar Plexus Chakra - is all about Power and Energy; located at the Navel.

Chakra Four - The Heart Chakra - is all about Love and Compassion; located at the Heart.

Chakra Five - The Throat Chakra - is all about Communication; located at the Throat.

Chakra Six - The Brow Chakra - is all about Intuition; located on the Forehead.

Chakra Seven - The Crown Chakra - is all about connection with Divinity; located at the top of the Head.

Through meditation, massage, breathing, sound, scents, foods, liquids and yoga postions...we can activate slower moving Chakras to a healthier speed within ourselves. This then, energizes our inner selves and brings strength to our Whole Being...spirit, soul and body.

It is my desire to demystify Ancient Tantric Concepts...and to make them relevant to our Lives Today.

Chakra Energy Clearing and Activation is essential to Holistic Health.

The Art of Seduction

11/24/2012

In this fast-paced society, we want everything now. With drive-thru restaurants, instant access to information, deadlines and full schedules...it's no wonder we feel stress at every turn. And when the day is done and we retire to our beds (our sacred place) with our Beloved...we hit the pillow and we are fast asleep.  OR...for the times that we do set aside to make love...we continue the fast-paced rhythm and quickly go for the orgasm before we fall asleep.

What I love most about Tantra is that it is a physical, spiritual and emotional meditation. To be able to share that with the One you Love...is especially beautiful.

It is pure seduction. A dance. Watch as your fingers slowly play on the skin of your partner. Step outside yourself as you enjoy this hypnotizing dance of seduction. Slowly breathe in air - with gratitude - and allow your skin to feel every sensation. Let the goosebumps arise as you lightly stroke, tease...stir the passion and pleasure one another.

As you focus on your partner...take your time. And remember that seduction begins with kindness. In the morning and throughout the day. Treating your partner as if they were the most important person on Earth. Because they are. Honor them with your words, your time, your service in big and small ways. The trash, the dishes...a surprise gift. Always be encouraging to your Beloved. Keep the spark alive with small acts of kindness and when it is time for your evening time together...that spark will light the burning flame within...and keep the Home Fires Burning Bright.
