Stress: Stress Reduction … NOW!

Have you been feeling frustrated and anxious about the state of the economy? Are you assaulted with bad news every place you look? Is the tension stressing your relationship?  Are you and your partner quarreling rather than love-making?  Do you want to get away from it all?

Well, now you can!  That’s right …

You can start right now — this very minute — to relieve the stress you might be experiencing. The fastest way to do so is no further away than your breathing. You can begin to take charge of your stress level by purposely directing your breathing. Just begin to take gradually slower and deeper breaths. That’s right — do this right now.

What do you feel?

Then, as you allow your breathing to become deeper and slower, imagine that your body begins to relax. Now, allow it to relax even more. Continue to do this until you have increased your level of relaxation and your stress level has strongly diminished.

Relationship: Looking for Help for Your Relationship?

Are you ready to make changes in your intimate relationship?  Have you and your partner struggled to reach sexual satisfaction … and, often, fallen short?

There IS help.  The Sex Coach Dr., Dr. Marlene Shiple, would love to show you how. Dr. Shiple has been working in the area of sex therapy for 30 years — in that time, she has helped hundreds of couples find satisfaction and share pleasure in their relationships. She has coached couples to create deeper, more-bonded partnerships with one another.

Dr. Shiple recognizes that one of the biggest problems — the one that most effectively holds relationships back — is lack of effective communication. Tips for improving communication in your relationship include:

  • Make time to talk. To start, keep it short — maybe, just 30 minutes.
  • Each partner schedules this time and dedicates it for strengthening the relationship.
  • Each partner selects one item to talk about.
  • When the mutually-selected time arrives, come together.
  • Share an extended hug and kiss (this creates connection, closeness, and bonding).
  • Relax together.
  • Talk about item #1 for 15 minutes; then, proceed to item #2. Talk about item #2 for 15 minutes.
  • Make arrangements for a follow-up time to talk before ending this Talk Time.
  • End with another extended kiss and hug.

Happy Thanksgiving: The Art of Giving Thanks!

In the United States, today is Thanksgiving Day! I wish you a VERY Happy Thanksgiving!

Giving Thanks … what does this mean?

Giving Thanks is the act of Gratitude, the act of Appreciation. When you give thanks, you are focusing on the positive aspects of your life. For whatever period of time you choose for the thanks-giving, you are concentrating on the blessings in your life.

In earlier blog posts, we have previously covered in detail both the macro-level of creativity and the micro-level of creativity. In brief, on a macro-level,

the Law of Attraction dictates that you bring to yourself that upon which you focus your thought-energy. In addition, on a micro-level, your subconscious mind functions to create what you are thinking.

So, from both macro- and the micro-directions, when you focus on the blessings in your life, you begin to attract more blessings to yourself. In other words, when you focus on positive aspects in your life, you start to draw more positive to yourself!

Isn’t it time to start? I invite you to JOIN ME in this action of Thanks-giving! And to start it off—I give thanks for YOU … for your eagerness to grow, for your desire to create more that is Positive in your life! I give thanks for your willingness to use your own Powerful Mind—your Mind Power—in such beneficial ways!

Relationship Stress-Reduction: It’s in Your Hands!

Stressed Out?  ‘Looking for a simple way to calm down?  Here’s an additional benefit you can derive from your strong relationship!

Yes, you’ve been working with your partner to create a strong, mutually-loving, sexually-satisfying relationship.  Now that the two of you have this together, you can enjoy additional stress-calming benefits from your personal interactions.

The way to do so is through the magic of touch!

University of Virginia’s Psychology Department, neuroscientist James A. Coan, Ph.D., has conducted research into brain activity and emotional experience.  He conducted brain scans of his subjects and found that women under stress displayed increased calmness as a result of holding a man’s hand.  Stress reduction was most dramatic when the woman and man had close emotional ties.

So, if you want to reduce your level of stress … and do so quickly … relief is as close as holding your partner’s hand!

Sexuality: Sleep … Perchance to Dream Sexually

ScienceDaily (June 15, 2007) — In detailed research conducted at the Universite de Montreal investigation of the actual nature and content of sexual dreams was undertaken.  In a large sample of dream reports from both men and women, approximately eight percent of everyday dream reports from both genders contain some form of sexual-related activity.

In this  study, authored by Antonio Zadra, PhD, over 3,500 home dream reports were collected from men and women. Sexual intercourse was the most common type of sexual dream content, followed by sexual propositions, kissing, fantasies and masturbation.

The study found that both men and women reported experiencing an orgasm in about four percent of their sexual dreams. Orgasms were described as being experienced

Abundance: Live — and Love — Abundantly!

Does it seem as though abundance is far, far away? Have you felt overwhelmed by the dire predictions rampant on the news wires? Are you fighting panic … and afraid you don’t know where to turn?  Have you found that this gets in the way of being close to those you love?

Here’s what you can do: You can start NOW and take control of your own experience! You can stop listening to predictions of perdition and begin to create your own prosperity … your own intimate relationship experiences.  And you can begin to do so Right Now! And you need not go further than your own Mind.

It is the very nature of your subconscious mind to CREATE. What does it create? Your subconscious mind creates your thoughts! Your subconscious mind takes the contents of your mind … and brings it into reality. Your subconscious mind—by its very nature—manifests your thoughts in your life!

So, if you believe that the economy is doomed … it is! If you believe your relationship has gone as far as it can … you are right.  Not because—objectively—it has to be.  Rather, because you believe it to be so, it has to be. This is termed “self-fulfilling prophecy”.

But self-fulfilling prophecy works on POSITIVE thoughts, too! So, I challenge you to turn your thoughts in the MOST positive directions your imagination can conceive. Claim this as a part of your life … of your relationship … then carefully notice as it comes to be!

Sexuality: With Age, Better Health Means Better Sex

TUESDAY, March 9 (HealthDay News) – New research looks at sexuality and sexual activity in a scientific way.  In a deviation from the frequent scientific focus that often centers on illness, this new study looks at health and well-being.  It looks at elements that affect quality of life – having a good sex life being critical to overall quality of life.

According to research conducted by University of Chicago’s Program in Integrative Sexual Medicine, better health equates to better sex lives.  These researchers also found that healthy people were more likely to engage in sex — and good sex at that.  Those in good health were more apt to express an interest in sex.

This new research also found that this association held firm into middle-age and later life as well.  This research was published in the March 10 issue of the British Medical Journal.

The study authors examined two different samples of more than 3,000 adults each – in one, the subjects were aged 25 to 74; in the second, the subjects were aged 57 to 85.  Both groups contained an equal number of men and women. Subjects were interviewed and filled in questionnaires on their marital status, their health (rated on a scale from excellent to poor), the quality of their sex lives and how often they had sex.

The study’s authors created a novel
measure called “sexually active life expectancy.” According to this new measure, men aged 55 could expect another 15 years of sex while women of the same age could expect about 11 more active sexual years.

This research provides even-more evidence of the far-reaching benefits of good health.  An active sexual relationship nourishes intimacy and satisfaction.  Having good sexual interaction — both in frequency and in level of gratification — in turn, can function to deepen a relationship, providing stronger, more enduring partnerships.

In order to have good health in older age, it is important to attend to good health TODAY!  Good health today makes for a stronger, healthier body today, tomorrow and throughout tomorrow’s tomorrows.  Good health is an experience that requires attention each and every day … and the best time to start is NOW! What one thing can you do — today — to implement stronger, better health for the GOOD of your life?  I invite you to do it … and to do it each and every day thereafter.

If you are a smoker, perhaps, your one thing might be to stop nicotine.  For help to do so, visit our stop-nicotine website today.  If you are overweight, perhaps, your one thing might be to get your weight to a health level.  For help to do so, visit our weight management website today!

Intimacy Therapy: Get Your Nose into the Act!

Are you looking for a quick, simple way to spark up your Relationship Intimacy?  Look no further than your — and your partner’s — sense of smell!

Smells work on the limbic system to release neurotransmitters.  The limbic system of the brain not only controls drives of hunger, thirst and sex, but it also influences more subtle responses of emotion, memory, creativity and intuition.  Within the limbic system resides the regulatory mechanism of your highly sensitive inner life, the core of your being.

The olfactory nerves (nerves in the nose) are directly connected to your brain’s limbic system.  Hence, even subtle aromas cause immediate
