Art of Love - It's Not All About Sex! ... Or Is It? Listen and find out...

2011-11-21T00:07:00.000Z

‎"When a man doesn't have sex for 7 days, his testosterone levels, on the 7th day, will double... which creates the Saturday night ritual... Men who have sex 2-3 times a week actually are the HEALTHIEST MEN on the planet... they live twice as long as everyone else.... The hormones that get generated through sex are what keeps us healthy."

~ Dr. John Gray from the Art of Love Series

And yes, ladies, similar is true for YOU!

In short, a healthy sex life leads to a healthy life, in general. Why?

Listen to the Series Finale Mastering the Art of Love with Dr John Gray, hosted by Arielle for and Claire Zammit, and find out.

Here's to your health!

The Art of Love - Happy Even After

2011-11-11T22:17:00.011Z

"You don't fully know your husband or wife... until you divorce them."

Some of you may already know, I'm going through a rather challenging divorce. And I have to say, I wish my ex-husband would listen to this Art of Love series.

In Happy Ever After, Katherine Woodward Thomas shares with us her 5 Keys to Conscious Uncoupling.

Unlike the other contributions to this amazing Art of Love series, this particular webinar discusses and shares with us a process you can use to end a relationship, with grace and wisdom.

So, if you are going through divorce or separation or otherwise ending a romantic relationship, or perhaps you're considering divorce or separation, or maybe you have been divorced or had a less than pleasant experience leaving a loved one in the past, I invite you to listen to this webinar as a way to heal and move forward in love and with a clean slate.

Andy... If you're reading my blog, I invite you to invest in the Art of Love series, for as little as $97, and listen to Happy Ever After, again and again, as I have. Your new lady will thank you too :)

And... I hope and pray we may one day get to this point, so that our children will see and can experience the ending of our marriage, not as a breaking apart of our family but rather as an e x p a n s i o n of it, as we both move forward, in love and life.

Be well!

The Art of Love - The Secret to Great Sex…Even When No One’s in the Mood

2011-11-05T10:48:00.009Z

"Men could have more sex, if women could have fewer orgasms!" ~ Alison Armstrong

The Secret to Great Sex…Even When No One’s in the Mood
with Alison Armstrong, hosted by Claire Zammit and Arielle Ford

Folks, after another full day, I was so relaxed and peaceful listening to this teleseminar in bed last night I must admit, I dozed off! Now that's something my potential partner wouldn't appreciate if we were in the middle of sex, right? Unless of course, he understood my wants and needs, which last night, were more about relaxing and falling asleep than having an orgasm!

You see, according to Alison, there are many flavors of sex and, depending on your wants and needs at any given time, each experience can be very very different from the one that came before, and each experience can, if you understand how to do it, fulfill your needs, as well as your man's, without the pressure to perform you may have felt this in the past.

Yes, men focus on orgrasm. There's no denying that. But according to Alison, if your man understands that your needs are different than his, that perhaps you enjoy sex for the intimacy and touch, for the emotional feelings you get from being close and connected with him, and that the climax of an orgasm is not, necessarily, what you want or need (although admittedly from time to time it is) he may just feel better about letting you be there for him, without the need to spend whatever more time it takes to make you orgasm, especially when you're tired.

But how can you communicate this to your man, in a way that respects his masculine ego? How can you give him the orgasm he needs (as he is biologically wired differently and therefore the physical orgasm is likely more important than the 'feelings' he gets from being close and connected with you), while fulfilling your own needs for that connection, and yes, sleep!???

This is just one area that Alison explores on this free teleseminar aptly titled, The Secret to Great Sex... Even When No One's in the Mood

It's 6 am here, and as I fell asleep listening last night and didn't get to hear all the wisdom Alison so kindly shares with us, I'm now going to listen again, before it disappears at 8pm tonight and you'll be invited to upgrade to premium service to receive all 11 days of recordings from some of the leading experts in the areas of love, sex and relationships, in this amazing and unprecedented Art of Love webinar series.

So why not join me? Listen now and then decide if you want to purchase the product that will be made available to you. But for now, it's free!

Join me??

Wishing you love, light and luscious sex,

Are You Searching for Your Key in the Light?

2011-09-06T18:41:00.003+01:00

"There once was a guy who lost his Key to the Kingdom of Heaven while passing through a dark forest filled with creatures he did not recognize, plants and trees that created eerie shadows and brushed against him as he passed, and unfamiliar sounds.

Soon after emerging from the forest, safe and unharmed, he was discovered searching endlessly for his Key in a nearby meadow.

His friend, who found him there, asked... Why are you searching for your Key in this field when you know you lost it in the forest?

The guy replied, because there's light out here."

I hope you appreciate this metaphoric story illustrating how your 'fear of the dark' may be keeping you searching for your salvation in the wrong place.

With gratitude,
Be Well.

Love is never the problem. Only the solution.

2011-09-06T14:00:00.005+01:00

Have you ever fallen in love with someone while you were still in love with someone else? Have you ever ended a relationship with someone because it just wasn't working, but still loved them all the same?

I have. Take my last partner, I love him deeply and something tells me I will always feel love for him. But will we be together? NO. Our lifestyles, our dreams, our ambitions... they are just not compatible.

But does that mean I have to close the door of my heart to him? No.

The society we live in teaches us that love is something that should be between two people. But I invite you to be clear and not confuse love with marriage. Don't confuse love with monogamy. And certainly don't confuse love with sex.

Marriage is a commitment to share a life together, to be exclusive in the act of sex, and to respect and support each others wants and needs. A partnership, regardless of marriage, is built on similar premise, but perhaps without the lifetime commitment.

Nowhere in such an agreement should it be written (metaphorically) that one soul should close their heart to another. To do so, in my opinion, violates ones self, as it attempts to deny feelings and emotions that are natural reflections of the beauty we recognize in others.

So, is it okay to love more than one person at the same time? I believe, yes it is. As long as you are honest about your feelings and when you commit to one person, respect their wants and needs about how you express your love for others. For example, if monogamy is something they need, ask yourself if you are prepared to give it, and if so, commit to it and honor your commitment. If "no contact" with your ex-partners, people you may still love but left the relationship because it wasn't working, is something they need, then consider if this is something you are prepared to do and if it is, do it faithfully.

If you find yourself having feelings for someone new in your life, do not hide them from your partner... Talk about them. Being open and honest, you can help your partner feel safe in knowing that you are being honest, and, your commitment to them comes first. Chances are, that kind of honesty, if done with sincere love, will only help the love you share with your partner grow and become stronger. And if he or she is uncomfortable with you being in contact with the person you have developed feelings for, decide if you can, in good conscience, step away from that other relationship to allow the one you are in the space it needs to flourish. But if you can't, be honest about that too. Believe it or not, you cannot hide emotions. The energy of love and attraction can be felt, so you can never really hide your feelings about others from your partner anyway.
So if you find you are in love with more than one person, be honest. It is a natural condition. How you deal with this will ultimately nourish, or injur the ones you love. Whatever decisions you face, make them from a place of love and nobody will get hurt, and all will feel the love you have for them as genuine, honest and pure.

Love is never the problem. Only the solution.

If you are having difficulty with a relationship, whether you are in one, thinking about one, or thinking about ending one, let me help you discover the power of being open and loving as the way to make good decisions that support and noursish you and those you love. I can be reached by email at laurie_attwood @ yahoo.com or phone +1.207.399.3041

Here's to love in your life,

Yes, this is the first NLP Adventure of it's kind!

What Do RAFTING And NLP Have In Common…?

Now that I've Stirred up the waters to get you wondering, I'll tell you...

Choosing to challenge yourself with an Adventure such as Whitewater Rafting says a lot about your character, who you are, what you value, what's important to you…

It says You're not afraid to Step outside your comfort zone…

Now on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the greatest personal challenge you can imagine...

Rafting is probably right up there!

Before my own first trip down the Kennebec River in 1987, Whitewater Rafting was somewhere in the region of a 7 or 8... Pretty challenging though perhaps NOT as dangerous as some of the photos make it look!

Haha NO this isn't rafting... This is me taking it easy on a float trip on the doorstep of the training center. We'll be enjoying some of the more relaxing aspects this outdoor playground has to offer as well!

After all, thousands of people take on the Whitewater rapids every day…

Love is not a thing... It cannot be held.

2011-08-16T23:13:00.003+01:00

Love is often treated like a material possession... Once we 'have it' we want to 'hold onto it'.

But IT is not a thing... IT cannot be held in your hand; IT cannot be seen with your eyes; IT cannot even be heard with your ears in the words "I love you".

Love is. Energy in motion... flowing freely and without strings, attachments or obstructions. When we see Love, while looking into the eyes of our newborn, or the eyes of our lover... When we feel Love, while hugging a parent or grandparent, or stroking the fur of a beloved pet... When we hear love, while listening to waves crashing on a beach, or hearing our favorite music - We mistakenly think that Love IS those things, and we attach the feeling, the seeing and the hearing of Love, to them.

But today, and maybe even for just a moment, I invite you to wonder... What if you could FEEL Love, SEE Love and even HEAR Love, at any moment, with any person, doing any thing...?

WHAT IF, you could OPEN to the possibility that, Love IS NOT attached to any thing, any one, any where... And instead, ALLOW Love to, be present... in the moment... in the space... in the being... with whatever or whomever you are, being You...? What IF...? I wonder...

Here's to letting go...
In Love.

Are You a Seeker or an Avoider?

2011-08-16T22:35:00.001+01:00

14th August 2011

Are YOU a Seeker or an Avoider?
(c) Mike George, Clear Thinking. Reprinted here with permission.
Some say we are all on the run from something or someone. Others say we are all seekers, searching for the deepest answers ‘about’ life or the greatest happiness ‘in’ life. While others say both running and seeking are a fool’s game and that we can’t even start living consciously with the vitality of someone who has realised what an amazing adventure life is, until we give them both up.

But that’s challenging simply because we learn to ‘avoid’ and to ‘search’ in so many ways, most of which we are not aware. Some people arrive early for the meeting in order to avoid the concentrated ‘all at once’ attention of the whole group and perhaps the accusations of being late. Others always arrive late for the meeting because they want the attention and to avoid the anonymity of not being acknowledged by all, or it could be they want to avoid being seen to be a punctual ‘goody two-shoes’ (now where did that little phrase come from?) probably because of a similar gentle ridicule they used to get from someone in their childhood.

The presence of some form of avoidance can usually be found behind any ‘habitual’ inclinations and behaviours. The moment that we say to someone, or someone says to us, “You are always being…”. It’s usually a sure sign that something is being avoided. For example:

“You are always being on your own.”

Being on our own too much usually means there is some avoidance of others. Perhaps we don’t trust others, perhaps we don’t like to look in the mirror of relationship as it reflects something of ourselves that we don’t like, perhaps we are scared to speak and avoid the risk, perhaps we are simply not able to accommodate and embrace the presence of a crowd for fear of being engulfed. In each case there will be some fear i.e. anxiety, which is fueling our ‘avoidance behaviours’.

“You are always being with that same person.”

Being with one certain person almost all the time is usually also avoidance of something within our self. Often it’s the avoidance of the risk in getting to know others, as they may discover something about us that we would prefer to keep hidden. It’s become easier to gravitate towards and stay with that one person who has proved to be the least likely to expose that aspect of ourselves that we want to avoid others seeing. This is quite different from choosing to be with someone for life, which in some ways is the opposite – a commitment to and an embracing of another whom we are comfortable being totally open with. Though even that, at some stage, may have been driven by the avoidance of being alone, or being seen to be alone!

“You are aways being a bit of a know-all.”

Being knowledgeable and wise occasionally, when it’s appropriate to the situation and to the moment, seems fine, even a blessing. But trying to be ‘the’ knowledgeable and wise one all the time, or just too often, is sometimes a way of avoiding acknowledging that others may also have the capacity for the same if not a deeper understanding and wisdom. Or it could just be a way of avoiding exposing how shallow we really are…sometimes!

“You are always being superficial.”

Being flippant and superficial all the time is more likely a way of avoiding engaging with other/s seriously and deeply for fear of having to discuss some personal and probably emotionally painful issues.

“You are always being the joker.”

Being the one to deliver the wit and repartee is sometimes a way of avoiding having to talk to others honestly and openly about oneself or one’s life. And sometimes it’s because of a fear of someone else hijacking the stage and gaining the attention and admiration of others. Conversations become subtly competitive to win the most laughs and the most applause. Perhaps that’s why many comedians admit they are approval addicts!

“You are always being quiet.”

Being the quiet one in the crowd can be both a way of avoiding messing up our communication or it can be a strategy to avoid being ignored as the ‘quiet one’ usually knows their quietness will eventually attract everyone’s attention, even if only for a few moments.

“You are always being busy.”

This is probably the most common avoidance behavior as we escape into action and often become action addicts. This is us running from our self as we know that if we stop for a moments rest or reflection we may see some unpleasant memories or some painful emotions will arise. Being busy on the ‘achievement trail’ is a way of avoiding the natural riches within our own spirit (inner life). It’s as if we know that there will be a greater burden of responsibility for our life if we know and acknowledge the truth and beauty of our own spirit. Life would change, probably quite radically, so we avoid having to leave our ‘I’m busy’ comfort zone. This is why it has been said that ‘busyness is the laziness of the West’. In the materially developed world we get busy creating, gathering and doing ‘stuff’ as a way of avoiding knowing, understanding and managing our self.
“You are always being a seeker.”

The paradox of searching is we are more often avoiding what we believe we want and need to find. In one sense all searching is for peace and happiness, either of the momentary kind or the permanent kind. Searching for peace and happiness both ‘in the world’ and indeed anywhere away from our self is an avoidance of the truth that we are already a source and a creator of both. Searching for true love with the perfect mate is a way of avoiding the realisation that we are what we are searching for…love itself. The anxiety of ‘seeker consciousness’, however subtle, can only end then we realise we are simply avoiding being our self, which is paradoxically impossible, as we can never be anyone else. But until that light bulb moment occurs …we try!

Similarly the scientist and the philosopher could be seen to be engaged in the futility of seeking when in fact they are avoiding the very truth they say they seek! By seeking the truth in and about the material world, and calling those truths the highest truths, the ‘researching scientist’ avoids acknowledging the role of consciousness itself, which is the self, where ultimate truth is realised and resides. They say that they seek their truths about matter so that we may make a better world i.e. a more peaceful and happy world, without realizing peace and happiness are not of this material world and cannot be found or even created ‘out there’ in the world!

Philosophers too are essentially seekers. And the ‘seeker philosopher’ who is searching for truth about the ultimate meaning of life and the universe and…well, everything, avoids the deepest truth that can only be found in silence, in the most still and essenceful state of being. As the sages and the saints have reminded us it’s only in that silent essenceful state that there can be the realization of who I am and why I am here, and the meaning of ‘it all’ can be seen. Instead the philosopher tends to journey away from essence and lose themselves in philosophical expansions and theories. Then they become somewhat attached to and identified with their philosophical seekers role, their philosophical seekers journey and the philosophy itself. The day the philosopher realizes and lives what is profoundly and absolutely true is the day philosophising ends. At that moment the philosopher becomes a mystic! But if the ‘pull’ of their philosophic comfort zone is too strong they may revert, and almost consciously avoid exactly what they are seeking. And so seeking itself becomes a form of avoiding.

And so, here endeth this week’s philosophical reflections.

Question: Which of the above avoidances do you relate to most?
Reflection: Why do you think it’s so hard to break an avoidance habit in general and yours in particular?

Action: Take one of the above avoidance habits per day for the next seven days and watch for the habit kicking in personally and in others during that day?

While I know you'd probably like to enjoy the many adventures life has to offer...
Perhaps you feel held back...

Maybe you feel things have gotten on top of you and you just can't seem to get your self out...

Finances? Work? Relationship? Health...?

Maybe you or someone you love struggles with illness or dis-ease and while you may worry about others, cancer and other symptoms of stress, wishing there were something you could do To help, you've got your own stuff to deal with, right?...

Or perhaps there are people around you suffering and you feel the need to DO SOMETHING but just don't know what!?!

Or do you watch the news and think... OMG I wish there were something I could do to make a difference...?

Maybe you feel you have something more to give but haven't yet felt able or sure how to do this...?

You see deep down, we all have it in our nature to want to help.

At the Mercy of the Moon

2011-08-14T02:06:00.001+01:00

It's a full moon tonight, and I wish the clouds would clear.

Have you ever sat and just stared at a full moon? There's something so amazingly moving about it... the ebb and flow of the oceans, in tune with the force of it's movement... Our own bodies, in fact, in tune, and yet... so few of us acknowledge or appreciate the powerful force that moves through us in this natural flowing lunar cycle.

Today has been an interesting day for me... It's been the ending of one cycle, and the beginning of another. Quite fitting, don't you think?

Cultures ago used to plan their lives around the cycles of the moon, the planting of their crops, celebrations and ceremonies, weddings and even mating rituals... and of course, the natural cycles that are programmed by Mother Nature herself to flow with the movements of the moon around the earth. Yet today, there is but a mark on my calendar that shows when the full moon will come.

Deep down, I know you know it's there when it comes... My moods, my emotions, and my body tells me. But without the ancient wisdom that has all but long-since been forgotten about how to move and work with the cycles of the moon in a way that harnesses it's power, rather than unleashes it to wreak havoc on our lives, I must admit, I, myself, am still at the mercy of the moon.

Here is a link I'll share with you of a poem titled "Mercy of the Moon" by Michele Darnell-Roberts
http://www.goddess-pages.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=89&Itemid=2&ed=3

May we all find our treasures at the Mercy of the Moon.

Oh look.. there's a break in the clouds. I'm going to sit outside, and wait...

Apparently I've Been Deceiving You on Facebook...

2011-08-11T04:38:00.007+01:00

According to an article I read recently, I have been deceiving you with my online social networking profiles.

Someone, and I wish I had bookmarked the article so I could give them credit, has decided that social networking is bad because I only present a glorified version of my true self to my online "friends". By only posting what I want others to read or see, in my status updates, links and photos, according to this article, I censor my true self so my online friends don't get to know the "real" person behind my online masks.

Well, I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I do that in "real" life, too? Don't you??

I don't know about you, but I certainly don't let my clients and customers eavesdrop on conversations that go on behind closed doors, any more than I would record them and post them to my Facebook profile for my clients and colleagues to listen to. And I certainly don't want my neighbours hearing what I say when I get angry, much less people half way across the world I've only recently met online. And as for photos, I'm not exactly going to show everyone in town unflattering photos of myself, any more than I would my online community.

So yes, I've been deceiving you, my online friends. I've only shown you the glorified version of me... Except, when I don't.

Except when I get frustrated, just like I do in public sometimes and vent my frustrations out loud in the middle of the supermarket, or in this context, Tweet them to a virtual supermarket full of Twitter followers. And except when my bathingsuit string comes untied under water and I stand up a little exposed only to notice there were a few people who actually saw before I realized and had time to tie it back up, or in this context, when I get tagged in an unsuspecting photo and a few people see it before I get the chance to remove the tag or ideally, have it deleted so nobody else can see.

So, my dear friends, I'm guilty. I've only shown you what I want you to see. I've only told you what I want you to know. In short, I've only shared with you what I choose to share.

As for the rest? I happily reserve that for the special few who I let close enough to see me before I get showered in the morning; to hear me when I get angry and occassionally swear (ok, more than occassionally ;) ; and to be with me when I'm feeling like the world is against me and all I want to do is hide.

You see, online or offline, virtual or "real", at any given moment in time, I am only presenting you with a snapshot image of a much larger reality of who I Am. And in that present-ing, I don't know about you, but I generally choose to present well.

Hypno-Drugs ~ The Highs without the Lows

2011-05-11T04:15:00.003+01:00

Okay it's pretty hard to believe you can 'get drunk', or high, without drinking or taking drugs. But in fact, you can... if that's your idea of useful hypnosis?!?

Anyway, this is for the groups of teens I've been working with this week who are really looking for a way to get the highs, without the lows.

A Blunt Reminder!

2011-04-08T01:39:00.004+01:00

A Blunt Reminder!

In his book Be Great, Peter H. Thomas tells the story of two men who were splitting wood.

One was 6' 6", 250 lbs. and in good physical shape. The other was 130 lbs. with not much muscle. He was more or less what's commonly referred to as a "nerd."

They started chopping the wood at about the same time. They worked until it was time to take their first coffee break.

The nerd stopped and took his coffee break. The 6' 6" man did not. He kept splitting wood.

The exact same thing happened when lunchtime rolled around. The nerd stopped to take his lunch break. The big man worked right through lunch.

When the afternoon break rolled around, the same thing happened. This continued on for about two weeks. The 6' 6" man was baffled why despite working the extra hours he wasn't that far ahead of the nerd when it came to the amount of wood they had cut. What made it more shocking was the nerd had left every day at 6 p.m. and the big man had stayed on, working late into the night.

After about three weeks of this, the big man noticed that the nerd's pile was more or less even with his own. At the end of the fourth week, the nerd had overtaken him in the amount of wood they'd split. It was too much for the big man.

Just as the nerd was about to leave for his break one day, the big man said to him.

"I cannot understand why you have more wood split than I do. You are smaller than I am, and you don't have the strength that I have."

The nerd replied,

"Ah yes, my friend, but you never stop to sharpen your axe."

~ Thomas uses this story as a reminder that we all need to take time off to think and refresh!

Your truth, the whole truth, or nothing is the truth

2011-04-07T06:07:00.002+01:00

What if... A lie is merely a version of the story created with intent to meet some fundamental human needs...?

When confronted with a person, adult or child, who has created a version of the story you do not agree with, I invite you to consider... If this story were intended for a PURPOSE, what might that purpose be, specifically...?

Some possible answers you might discover are...

to protect the storyteller from harm, to escape from their current reality which they may find unbearable,

to express the desire for a new and different reality,

to feel forgiveness which they believe and are quite likely right would otherwise be withheld,

to create a response from those involved which fulfills a basic human need such as the need for unconditional
love and acceptance, touch or generally connecting with another human being even if that connection is what you might consider less than desirable - any connection is better than isolation,

to fulfill the need for inclusion in a group even if that group is perceived as less than desirable as chronic seclusion is a terminal sentence,

or even as innocent as expressing creativity through the only outlet available at the time.

So rather than respond to "lies" with anger, I invite you to become curious!!! ...

For what purpose did they tell THAT story... instead of the one YOU created for your self...?

Your Headache... Inflammation or Dehydration? WATER may be the CURE you've been seeking...

2011-02-27T21:51:00.002Z

Did you know that one of the most common reasons for getting a headache is Dehydration??!

You get a headache, immediately take a few pain killers (which you're told to take with a full glass of water!) and miraculously... your headache goes away!

But was it the pills or the water that stopped the headache? This depends on the headache, of course, but before you take pain killers, perhaps try drinking a glass or two of PURE CLEAN water! Then if that maybe doesn't work, then the pain killers are still an option. But if it does, you've saved your body from having to clean the pain killers out of your system. And as you may well know, certain pain killers, when taken often or in high dosages, can severely damage your liver... one of the very organs that is there to clean your body of toxins.

So, the message here? Try Water ... First!

And in the meantime... if Natural Healing interests you, I invite you to read Your Body's Many Cries for Water by F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. ... It's an Enlightening Read!
