If love is what we are made of, why do we spend so much time feeling fearful, guilty, shameful, and sad?.....
The headlines this week were enough to stir any of those emotions for sure. From the sad news about Robin Williams suicide. To the protests & riots in Ferguson, MO over the shooting of Michael Brown, another unarmed Black teenager killed by law enforcement. There is so much happening in our own lives, and the world around us that looks like the absence of love instead of love.
Read MoreI know it might be a strange question, but this DJ Snake/Lil' John song inspired it. Check it out below to see for yourself if you haven't already! If you've been feeling a little drained, uninspired, frustrated, or numb…. there's a good chance that you've turned down the dial on an important part of your self expression. And while that part may need to get expressed in a number of ways, I'll bet in its purest form its tied to your sexuality...
Read MoreIf you’ve ever felt depleted from giving too much, or repeatedly find yourself asking the question 'when will it be my turn to get what I want?' Then, keep reading...
Read MoreThere is a well-known Rumi quote - "Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field, I'll meet you there"... I believe this field is love.
Its a very Tantric sentiment actually. When we can put down our judgements about ourselves, other people, and the world. And begin to accept what we are feeling in the moment as part of one big movement of energy... We step into a field I call Love.
Read MoreOne of the hardest things we can experience in relationship is betrayal... It's a risk we take when we place our trust in someone or something. If that trust gets broken, we are left feeling betrayed.
How you respond to a betrayal can either leave you feeling like a victim, or feeling victorious.
Read MoreHappy almost Full moon!And it's going to be a Supermoon on top of that.
The first full moon of the summer will be big and bright….
I had another bright moment earlier this week when I finally signed a lease for a new home! Me and my sister have been on the hunt for a home for the last month or so. Apartment hunting in LA is a part-time job! I'm thrilled that part is done, and I can finally unpack the suitcase I have been living out of for almost a year.
Yes you read that right, I haven't had my own home for almost 12 months now. After my engagement ended a year and a half ago, the home we were creating together, along with many of the things I recognized as home, came to an end. So I did what made sense for me at the time and honored my desire to travel.
I hope you enjoyed your Independence this weekend! As we were celebrating the birth of the USA, I was filming a birth portrait for a dear friend. Witnessing a birth unfold was inspiring for many reasons. It allowed me to see what it looks like to ride your edge... that moment where you want to quit but you keep going. It reminded me that these bodies are capable of so much and there's a wisdom that moves through them naturally if we do not get in the way. And that most amazing things that get birthed into this world, are often preceded by some challenges and pain. Oh and that women rule for bringing us into this world!....
Read MoreI can hear you talking…. but what are you saying?We talk as a way to fill space, to ask for something we need, to share ideas. But how often are you speaking your heart's desires? And letting your words and your voice carry your passion into the world?
Read MoreAppreciation is a powerful energy. Taking a moment to recognize the value something holds for us, is a gift for the giver of appreciation, as well as the receiver. When you really drop into a feeling of appreciation for anything, watch what happens in your body... I get a warm tingling feeling in my chest, a smile finds its way to my lips, a wave of peace, and happiness comes over me. My whole mood shifts, if I let it. This was a huge change from what I was feeling earlier in the week when I was feeling overwhelmed and burdened by my to-do list.
Read MoreIntimacy begins with being able to be present with ourselves, and then with each other. Some people think of intimacy as being synonymous with lovemaking, and in many ways it is. There's a play on words that sums it all up for me.....
Read MoreWhat is your relationship to power?
Do you crave it? Does it scare you?
Are you indifferent about it?
I saw power mis-used so much growing up,
that for a long time I was afraid of it.
But as I have discovered my own authentic power,
beyond the power plays of the ego.
I've learned that real power comes from a very different place than I once thought.
Pleasure has moved from being a luxury to a priority in my life since I've learned how it is connected to our health and well-being.
Beyond the power of feeling good, It's about unleashing the orgasmic potential that exists in these bodies.
And the power that it holds to relieve our stress, balance our hormones, and a number of other benefits that improve our quality of life.
Read MoreWhat turns you on? Do you know? I had to really think about this one myself. I know in the moment,when desire arises. But I don't spend much time thinking about what causes it to happen. And it can change as we change… so while we may think we know what turns us on based on what's worked in the past, will that still spark you in this moment?
Desire is one of the most powerful forces at work in our lives. It pulls us forward, fueling creation, evolution, and other fun explosive activites. Knowing how to light our own fire is one of the best gifts we can give to ourselves and our lovers. How often have you looked to your partner to know how to please you? And when they are not getting it right... do you find yourself feeling frustrated and unfulfilled?
Read MoreHi!
I don't know about you... but life has been intense for me this last couple of months! I've been confronted with lot's of transition, letting go, meeting new challenges, stepping into new roles and parts of myself. It feels like more needs to happen in less time. Which means less time to get it 'right', and more diving into the thick of it and figuring things out as I go.
This has been very stressful and has me dreaming about running away. A day on the beach or in the woods sounds amazing right now, but is not something I can do at the moment.
When I get stressed like this I forget to BREATHE!
And breath is one of the quickest ways to create that relaxed vacation vibe without actually going anywhere. You know the one where you feel all gooey, full of love & gratitude, and the world looks like a better place again?
Read MoreIn case you forgot, like I do sometimes. I wanted you to know… at least in this moment. That YOU ARE LOVED.
If you're not really feeling the Love Bug at the moment, just know that it's waiting around the corner to bite you!
There are so many ways love is happening for us that go unnoticed. With the swirl of mental input, and our long to-do lists. It's easy to miss the more subtle moments where love hides out. Moments like sipping hot tea or coffee in the morning, sitting in a chair that makes us feel good, or gazing at a full moon.
