36 Questions To Help You Fall In Love With Anyone Asking thirty-six specific questions plus four minutes of sustained eye contact is a recipe for falling in love, or at least creating intimacy among complete strangers.

Etude des expériences de sorties de corps Sportif, bien dans sa tête, Nicolas est un jeune homme ordinaire, à un détail près. Depuis l'enfance, il dit pouvoir sortir de son corps plusieurs fois par jour. Pendant dix ans, ces deux scientifiques ont étudié les capacités hors du commun de Nicolas avec un protocole en double aveugle.

Le JT Resolving The Intimacy-Desire Paradox: Is More Intimacy Better? Many couples fail to maintain sexual desire in their long-term relationships. Two people who once could not keep their hands off each other gradually lose interest in having sex, at least with their current partner. What distinguishes couples who experience passionate long-term relationships from those who fail to sustain the passion? Are there effective strategies to prevent against the waning of sexual desire in long-term relationships? A study1 published recently in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology seeks to answer those questions. Indeed, some scholars have noted the intimacy-desire paradox, which indicates that high levels of intimacy may inhibit rather than increase sexual desire. The findings of this new research show that a partner’s responsiveness outside the bedroom does in fact contribute to the desire to have sex with this partner, and help explain why women's desire is more strongly affected by their partner's responsiveness than men's desire. 1Birnbaum, G.
Hands, Heart, Head : How This Simple Educational Model Can Change the World 25th May 2016 By Carolanne Wright Contributing writer for Wake Up World “In the modern age of production and consumption, in the age of money and power, the meaning of education has become distorted. The Latin root of the word education – educare – means to ‘bring out’, whereas the present implication of the word education is to ‘put in’.” ~ Satish Kumar America — and the world at large — is in crisis. Satish Kumar is best known for his 8,000-mile peace pilgrimage. “Hands, Heart and Head” Through his spiritual discipline and love of all life, Satish is passionate about befriending planet earth — nature, animals, people and plants, the whole package. “Children are not empty vessels in which you pour information and knowledge. We can bring out a child’s potential by cultivating a good relationship with them, which cannot happen in classrooms filled with 30 or 40 children, in schools with hundreds of students.

What is Presence? - Psychosexual Somatics January 9, 2017 What is Presence? You hear it a lot in various new age, conscious sexuality or therapy worlds – it’s all about Presence. A woman wants her man to be Present. It’s by being Present that we allow the magic, and so on and so on. Own Your Space When I really allow myself to take up space in the world, when I feel sufficiently safe in the world to stand my ground, when I can really allow myself become king (or queen) over the dominion of the physical space that I occupy in the world, knowing that no-one can dislodge me from that inner embodiment, this is the staring point of Presence for me. To practice this, you can stand with your feet about shoulder width apart, begin to feel yourself planted in the ground, rooted to the earth. Groundedness The second quality is groundedness. Connection to Self If we visualise the grounding exercise as a vertical axis, connection is the horizontal axis. Presence is about being Present with one’s self.

What's Sex Got To Do With Mindfulness? If mindfulness can make us happier, healthier, and more compassionate (that is, if the raft of current scientific research is to be believed), what can that same moment-to-moment awareness do for our sex lives? Imagine the possibilities. On the face of it, having enjoyable, loving sex seems like the last thing we might be inclined to tune out. But we all know the kind of mind-wandering that can strike even in the midst of great pleasures. From a mental replay of the staff meeting earlier in the day to obsessing about the final luscious peak of the sex you’re having in that very moment, in lovemaking, as in life, tuning out is a part of being human that’s very difficult to turn off. That’s where mindfulness comes in. But before we go there, let’s admit: sex is tricky to talk about. It’s challenging because our sexuality is such an essential part of who we are. But get two people sharing some intimate space and toss in a little attraction, and “guide” doesn’t exactly cover it.
Living In a World Gone Mad — Is Peaceful Anarchy the Secret to a Better Society? | Wake Up World By Carolanne Wright Contributing writer for Wake Up World “But isn’t the anarchist a fabulous character? Having recently watched the film again after many years, I do admit to having chills when the masses don their masks in courageous defiance of the neo-Fascist State, which has pushed its agenda too far and, consequently, is teetering on the brink of destruction. However, where one person sees liberation, another is equally horrified at such lawlessness. But maybe the idea behind anarchy has been misunderstood — like many ideologies throughout history which have been hijacked and distorted. Non-Violent Anarchy — Is It Possible? “As anarchists, we seek to bring about a society in which coercive hierarchies, such as government and capitalism … no longer exist. Could figures like Gandhi be considered anarchists in the purest sense of the word? Dissolving the State Peaceful anarchy is not only possible, we’re seeing inspiring examples of it today.

Do Women Want To Be Ravished? Do Women Want To Be Ravished? As a psychologist and couples counselor, I’ve been asked this question by men, women and couples for the last twenty plus years. Especially since the publication of “50 Shades of Grey” and the upcoming movie version, it’s an even more pressing question for many. Now Anne Rice’s B&D “Sleeping Beauty” trilogy is rumored to become a movie or mini-series as well. My specialty is helping couples bring back the passion in their relationship and using fantasy is one way of achieving this. Of course, women don’t want to be raped, this is an act of violence and power, not one of love. So what’s the truth here, at least from a psychological perspective? However, this initial chemistry fades over time and we need to take steps to reignite it! Polarity comes from strong masculine energy meeting strong feminine energy. From an evolutionary psychology perspective, women want to know that their man can take care of them, can “hold” them, both emotionally AND physically.
Listen to All, Learn from a Few, Follow No One January 11th, 2018 By Hilde Larsen Guest writer for Wake Up World I had an awakening when I realized that my life was happening right NOW. I realized that the part of my life that I am living right NOW is not a waiting room, not a place where I have to wait and see what will happen. I realized I was FREE. Our lives have been colored by the notion that later is when things will change or complete, resolve or unfold. The list is endless like pearls on a string, always keeping our focus ahead, putting events and life experiences as our outside ourselves guides and keepers. We are taught to hold our tongue, to wait our turn, and to stand in line. Not every family is the same, but in general, it is safe to say that children are told to listen to the grown-ups, no matter what they are capable of teaching or setting an example as, and we take that program with us. Think about it; How often do you look to others for validation or a second opinion? Why you need to become the leader. #1. #2. #3.

10 Erotic New Year's Resolutions For Those Bored With Sex | The Huffington Post There is nothing more boring than people complaining about sexual boredom. That is so ordinary, lackluster and, quite frankly, rather lazy. When we decide to actively nurture our sexuality, we are taking a stand for living a vibrant and pleasure filled life. When you choose to give time to your eroticism you are giving time to living a bigger, more abundant and more self-fulfilled life. It’s hard to wrap our heads around this idea that sex requires the same kind of willful intent that a great diet plan or financial management program does. Sometimes, we have to move obstacles and even spend our resources on sex. 10 Erotic Resolutions For 2017 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

7 ways to put the sexual spark back in your relationship It happens to the best of couples. In the beginning, the two of you can’t keep your hands off each other. But over time, especially when life gets tough, that sexy spark can fizzle. Getty Images stock Experts say there are ways to get the spark back, but first we need to "ditch the myth" that sex should always be spontaneous and easy.

In this day and age, why do we insist that "sex" still has to be penetrative? During a drunken conversation with a friend recently, she asked how many people I had slept with. I opened my mouth, about to divulge, when she chimed in again: "I mean full sex only. Other stuff doesn't count." "Wait a second," I said. "Well, of course THAT counts," she scoffed. I thought back to the five years I'd spent with my ex-boyfriend, and the handful of times in that period that we'd been able to have penetrative sex due to my vaginismus. I thought about the strangers who came after, the ones I felt nothing for, the messes of sweat, the unsatisfying endings, the text messages that went unanswered. At my religious high school, we often gossiped behind locker doors about who was and wasn't a virgin in our grade. In her book The Purity Myth, feminist writer Jessica Valenti argues that the concept of virginity revolves around society acting as the arbitrary gatekeeper to women's bodies and moral goodness. I have had unsatisfying penetrative sex and wonderful penetrative sex.
