The Tantric path is to reunite with our Divine spark. It encourages us to identify with our Higher Self, our Divine essence. When you identify with your Higher Self, you live in a heightened vibrational field and you are open to the intuition coming to you from your Divine self, guiding you to the fulfillment of your life and your mission.

In a perfect world, my husband and I are alone at a romantic resort, where we get couples massages, candlelight dinners al fresco, breakfast in bed, dancing under the stars, and lots of undisturbed nookie time. Here’s the reality – two busy careers, two busy kids, too busy and broke for anything, let alone a romantic getaway. What’s that quote about necessity being the mother of invention? Well, DH (darling husband!) and I came up with a fabulous solution to our time and money challenge for romance.

We are all connected and all part of the universe and the Kingdom of God. We create our reality and bring about our good fortune by the way we respond and naturally affect the responses of others. In fact, we are all basically seeking to return to the realization of who we are, a magnificent manifestation of God’s creation.” If this is true, and I believe it is, then why don't we always recognize that we are connected and live accordingly? Why don't we always value our broth

When it comes to building a healthy marriage/relationship, one of the best resources is to hear from couples who have been together for many years and, most importantly, would do it all over again with the same person. In the marriage/relationship enrichment workshops I run, there are often couples who meet this very criterion. Here are some of the important marriage/relationship advice tips these couples have shared: 1. It's not just about communication.

When speaking of honesty, I am referring to honesty with your partner and being honest with yourself. Let's first talk about being honest with you. People enter into relationships for a variety of different reasons. Some do it because they enjoy the companionship while others work better in life when they feel as if they are on a team. Some jump into relationships because they feel that is what is expected of them. No matter what your reason, you must be willing to take an ho

Ever heard of ‘bibliotherapy?’ I’ve been a practitioner for years, but I never heard this fancy word until recently. Bibliotherapy is an academic term used to describe the amazingly beneficial (and very delightful!) mind/body reactions that occur from reading erotic romantic literature. In fact, sex therapists are advising their female patients to get busy and start reading erotic romance! YAY!

Many couples lack some basic courtesies needed to build intimacy in marriage. Rudeness, careless words, disrespect for one's spouse, criticisms, public embarrassment do not portray politeness. Before the wedding, most singles ensure they are courteous as they put their partner ahead of their desires. They are consumed by the passion to make their intended spouse feel good about them. Once the ceremony is over, courtesy dwindles until mutual honour and respect is annihilated.

The answer should be an unconditional, “yes!” But you may not know that, because you don't love yourself, or you may answer yes, but still find yourself having great difficulties finding love or keeping love alive. Instead of truly being open to being loved, you may be feeling like the only way you can feel good about yourself is if someone loves you. If this is the case, you are suffering from a lack of nurturing during your childhood. You are really looking for a nurturing parent, because you lacked one as a child.

Physical intimacy is an important component in marriage and long-term relationships. The reasons why a passionate marriage might dwindle into a sexless marriage vary widely. The first step in keeping passion alive over the long haul is to understand the roadblocks to emotional and physical intimacy. In addition to the natural reduction of sexual desire and frequency that occurs in long-term marriages/relationships, there are other factors that may be contributing to a lackluster sex life. Here are a few to consider:

Good communication is the foundation of every great relationship. Listening and being listened to are signs of care and respect for your partner. When you feel cared for, you have more energy flowing through you, and sex is better. Real, powerful Intimacy comes from such caring and respect for your partner. Here are some good tips: 1. Make sure you have your partner’s attention without demanding that they stop what they are doing to listen to you, unless it’s an emergency. If one of you is busy when you want to talk, set up a time when you both can pay attention to each other.

Maintaining a long distance relationship is surely not the easiest thing to do. When you are living far away from each other, your relationship becomes more vulnerable. For one, there’s the lack of intimate contact. Then there’s also the problem with miscommunication. Given these possibilities, any couple who plan to engage in a long distance relationship should be mature and responsible enough to know what they are getting into. But what exactly are the things that you s

I came to realize that talking about femininity really triggered many women's defenses. This really wasn't my intention. My intention is to empower you so that you can live the way you truly desire. I came to realize that there are lots of ideas and stigmas related to femininity which distort the message. To rectify this miscommunication, let's talk about the unshakable power of femininity.

Emotional safety is something couples typically don't think about until something happens to threaten this safety. Emotional safety (knowing that you can trust your spouse/partner, that s/he has your best interest in mind and will try to be responsive to your emotional needs) creates a foundation of stability that grounds your relationship. When it is missing, the very foundation of one's relationship is compromised.

What’s the secret to ongoing intimacy, in and OUT of the bedroom? Most couples agree that they feel more emotionally, mentally, and physically connected with each other, after a good romp in the sack. But generally that yummy feeling of mutual connection begins to wane over time, overwhelmed by all the pressing details of home, work, kids, etc. Feelings of disconnection can also lead to arguments and fights, which can make it more difficult for couples to find their way bac

Fear. That’s the main reason. We fear the consequences of our power. Sometimes we fear the responsibility that comes with power. You may not feel ready to wield so much power. When you realize that you can manifest your desires quickly and definitively when you go after them directly, it’s a bit of a head trip. It takes a while to get used to a reality in which your desires manifest so quickly and so strongly. Consequently, it’s very tempting to redirect your power into cre

How Feminism Harms Women by relationship author Kara OhI got a note from a woman who said she’s a Feminist and not interested in what I teach about how to have a deeply loving relationship with a good man. But she was searching for help in the relationship arena, which tells me it’s not going the way she’d like. Duh!

I finally wrote down the methodology I have intuitively been using over the years to achieve concrete results by changing from within. Spirituality is getting very popular since the last ten years yet many people still don’t achieve their goals. A very popular meditation technique is to breathe to reach stillness, yet you could breathe in such a way your entire life and still remain virgin and penny-less. At least you’d feel better about being broke! There has to be some way to achieve more concrete results with spirituality, and there is.

During a marriage crisis, life gets turned upside down and pulled apart, often in frightening and distressing ways. Like a volcanic eruption, tensions and pressures have accumulated that can no longer be contained by feelings of love or the motivation to "stick it out."

When we begin a relationship we start off by revealing parts of ourselves, our likes and dislikes, what I like to call our preferences. These include things such as politics, religion, our favorite movies, the food we like, basically our thoughts, views and beliefs. If we agree, like and accept the parts the other person reveals then the relationship continues. If not the relationship can often end before it begins. Now here is the secret to intimacy, trust and love. The ins

First Be Happy then Make Love!nHow often are we depending on and expecting our romantic relationship to make us happy?
