Journaling Sustains Intimacy With Self
Journaling helps sustain intimacy with self. Journaling can tap into a source of spirit water that bubbles up from the well of mystery that you are. Journaling is a powerful tool to uncover one’s honest motivations, fears and values. What might be uncovered if you journaled as a consistent, daily practice? Simply journaling random thoughtsContinueContinue reading “Journaling Sustains Intimacy With Self”
Penetrate The Moment
Penetrating the moment is a choice. One penetrates the moment by softening their mind and heart. With softness, comes easier acceptance of what is occurring in real time. Softness and acceptance becomes more natural with practice. The goal is not to ‘fix’ any given interaction. It’s about living in an alive, embodied present. This isContinueContinue reading “Penetrate The Moment”
Self-Care Reunites You With You
This is part of a series of excerpts from my forthcoming book. Self-care reunites you with what you value. Knowing your most important values makes choosing priorities and commitments more obvious. Put the big pieces in place and let everything else fill in around the ‘must do’ items. We can all improve at prioritizing self-care.ContinueContinue reading “Self-Care Reunites You With You”
Life Responds To How You Show Up
I felt elevated and moved by grace as the large horse pivoted and turned under my saddle. My hands held the soft leather reins loosely, yet with confidence, as the narrow and rough trail we’d been following snaked down a thickly forested slope. She and I had learned to trust one another over time andContinueContinue reading “Life Responds To How You Show Up”
Trading Truth For Comfort
Trading truth for comfort is a poor bargain. Living in the shallow end is suffering. Depth is where you’ll discover @TheRealYou. As a young man I suffered from lack of imagination of who and what I could be. I only envisioned a fuzzy, ill-defined future. It was not until about age 40 that I formulatedContinueContinue reading “Trading Truth For Comfort”
I Shouldn’t Have Survived the Glacier Crossing
I shouldn’t have survived the mile-wide Kahiltna Glacier crossing. Our small group of three was traveling fast to avoid being caught on the ice field in the developing twilight and thickening ground fog. I had stopped to rest and now my two companions were out of earshot. I yelled for them to help orient me,ContinueContinue reading “I Shouldn’t Have Survived the Glacier Crossing”
Stop Resisting and Embrace What You Fear
It was a hot day in the Pine Barrens and a fast-moving, spring-fed creek formed a deep pool near where our group rested. The crystal-clear water was tantalizing, but the chilly water temperature was daunting. No one was getting into the water, but I made a decision to get to know cold even though IContinueContinue reading “Stop Resisting and Embrace What You Fear”
You Must Be Present To Win
The following is an excerpt from my forthcoming book: Cultivating presence is cultivating personal power and vice-versa. You must be present to win. Honesty with self is power. Your body and the moment is where truth lives. Find your body and you find the moment. Find the moment and you win. The present moment isContinueContinue reading “You Must Be Present To Win”
The Art of Aural, Giving Good Phone
Good aural sex is both an art and a discipline. Voice tone has a direct effect on the frequency and passion in an intimate relationship. Even when not anticipating formal intimacy, you’re building or diminishing a love connection with each interaction by how you speak. Remember that foreplay is a constant, rather than an event.ContinueContinue reading “The Art of Aural, Giving Good Phone”
Responding to Relationship Stress with an F word
The following is an excerpt from my soon-to-be released book: I’ve compiled a list of several ‘F’ words relevant to intimate relationship. They are: Fight, Flight/Fantasy, Faint/Fold, Freak/Flail, Freeze, Fix, Fun, Feel, Flow and F**k. Our teachers in school told us that humans essentially only have two main responses to stress (that being fight orContinueContinue reading “Responding to Relationship Stress with an F word”
Killing a Deer, Honoring a Woman
As a young man, I killed a deer. It was one of the most profound moments in my life. I did not take this act lightly in any way. My purpose was food for the upcoming winter. Whether directly or indirectly, we all ‘take’ life in order to live. A life of some kind wasContinueContinue reading “Killing a Deer, Honoring a Woman”
Safety in Intimacy
In my experience, the things that most allow a woman to trust and open to an intimate partner are love and safety. With these two elements in place, a woman may more fully open her heart, whether it be a one-time, long-term, committed belovedship or a marriage. With a trustable and loving partner she canContinueContinue reading “Safety in Intimacy”
The Peace of the Mountains
Long vistas of ridges beyond ridges and deep, steep roadless canyons. A hot, sunny, still and cloudless day under a seemingly endless blue sky. I was traveling along a dry, rocky and rough dirt track through the mountains. Somewhere past halfway to the destination I came across a spring-fed pool. Water sheeted down a shortContinueContinue reading “The Peace of the Mountains”

He Loves Me (or not)
How can you tell if your man loves you? A coaching client recently asked me this question. Here’s my expanded answer: The average woman is more sensitive to energy than the average man. A woman who’s connected to her core wisdom and is not afraid of her feelings will be even more tuned to energy andContinueContinue reading “He Loves Me (or not)”
Love Your Woman
How do you express love to a woman once she decides to share her time with you? Would you say that you set a low or a high bar for yourself in intimate relationship? How deeply intimate are you? Are you allowing your heart to expand as it holds ever more love? A common statementContinueContinue reading “Love Your Woman”

Guiding Principles for Partnership

Here are some of the best: Partnership Guiding PrinciplesContinueContinue reading “Guiding Principles for Partnership”
Turn a Hug into a Magic Embrace
Who doesn’t love sharing a hug with an intimate partner? A loving hug can bring you both more in tune simply by placing your bodies together. Ideally, all your hugs feel energetically-clean with no sense of obligation to do more. You may just allow the loving touch to be a renewing contact and, of course,ContinueContinue reading “Turn a Hug into a Magic Embrace”
How Archery Skills Transfer To Relationship
Don’t rush and don’t over-clench, slightly change position to find “home.” Be intentional and pure of purpose. Stay aware of your breath and feel how all comes from your center. When you let go, do so cleanly and without regret. Are these the words of a tantra instructor or yoga teacher? They could be, butContinueContinue reading “How Archery Skills Transfer To Relationship”
Can You Revel In A Kiss?
We’re all familiar with alternate giving when it involves foot rubs, massage or more intimate touch. But, where is the rule that we always have to kiss simultaneously? As a love coach, I often encourage people to incorporate alternate kissing into their sex play. Imagine your lover gently, slowly, sweetly kissing your heart, neck, faceContinueContinue reading “Can You Revel In A Kiss?”
How Deep Can You Glow?
Our energy doesn’t end at our skin. Most people are familiar with hands-on energetic touch as a healing modality and we expect to feel energy in our bodies during a massage session. If we accept that energy is transmitted from our fingertips then it should be easy to realize that energy is transmitted by touchContinueContinue reading “How Deep Can You Glow?”
Horses, Tango, Intimacy
Horse. I felt elevated and moved as if by grace as the large horse pivoted and turned under my saddle. Her body and mind were in tune with my intention as we negotiated a hillside. The narrow and rough trail we had been following snaked down a forested canyon slope. My hands held the softContinueContinue reading “Horses, Tango, Intimacy”
