Do you yearn for your relationship to once again be filled with passion and desire? Do you long for the exhilarating moments of intimacy and connection that came so easily in the beginning? In long-term partnerships, desire will inevitably ebb and flow, but that doesn't mean you can't reignite the flame that once blazed so fiercely. As Alan Watts famously said, "But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be." In this article, we will explore practical methods for boosting desire, promoting closeness, and forging passionate relationships, drawing inspiration from renowned thinkers such as David Deida, James Allen, and David Hawkins.

Safety in relationships goes beyond feeling secure; it's about embracing triggers and doing the hard work of breaking unhealthy patterns together. Learn how safety promotes emotional growth and resilience, and why ongoing conversations about safety are essential for a thriving partnership.

One of the lessons we should all learn in life is not to force anything. The energy that comes with forcing in essence wont produce the desired effect you're after. But most importantly when you observe where force comes into the our consciousness we connect deeply with our lower level emotions.

This article is focused on providing you key points in understanding how to navigate your relationship. The intention is to give you effective information to make your relationship with your partner and yourself 100 times stronger. The title of this article is focused on when we get communication wrong. What this implies is that there is an inevitability that two individuals in a relationship will get some of their communication misunderstood at various points in the relationship. This is very normal, but what is not normal is needing to endure suffering both internally and externally at the hands of miscommunication.

I get a lot of feedback, ironically from women defending men when I am harder on men in view of stepping up and taking ownership of situations. I agree that many men are trying to change and correct the collective of past male atrocities, so it is not all men this is speaking to, but a large majority. In part I am hard on myself because I wish I had been challenged in the past when I should’ve been stepping up. It was in these moments that I needed someone there pushing me to strive and really challenge myself. The ideal would’ve been a man who I could confide in because it wasn’t nurturing I needed, I needed someone to cut through my bullshit and call me out.

When we speak about resonance and vibration our attention gets steered to law of attraction. The manner in which I speak about resonance and vibration is more in terms of kinesiology where the core of the practice is about identifying imbalances in the body’s structural, chemical and emotional energy. I am by no means a kinesiologist but my curiosity and studies within the realm of body work and energy consciousness have always left me with a lot of questions which have informed my practice. In addition the exploration of kundalini tantra has been greatly applicable to this western manner of viewing the body and for my own personal reflections.

A very interesting question was raised during one of our discussions this past week around how do we know if the amount of masturbation or sex we’re engaging in is indicative of addiction or not.

When you go through most psychotherapy based courses you are faced with the obligation of going to a personal and professional development (PPD) group. The purpose of such a group can vary but in essence it is designed with no agenda so that people in the group can begin to face discomfort not only within themselves but also as a result of the other members of the group projecting their anxieties and judgements onto the group.

Communication breakdown is bound to happen when there is complacency within the two people involved in the relationship. We find ourselves at the beginning stages full of desire to want to connect on a deep and emotional level but we fail to remember that maintaining depth in a relationship takes time, presence, patience and a lot of love.

What’s been very interesting to see is how the idea and role of boundaries has changed over the years. It feels like the movement through the years has provided a positive view of boundaries because toxic masculinity and the imprint that has left on many seems to be more frequently challenged.

“Keep this thought handy when you feel a fit of rage coming on—it isn’t manly to be enraged. Rather, gentleness and civility are more human, and therefore manlier. A real man doesn’t give way to anger and discontent, and such a person has strength, courage, and endurance—unlike the angry and complaining. The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 11.18.5b
