After almost 5 years of work, I’m elated that Soul Statements – A Love Coach’s Guide To Successful Communication, has been released to the world! My coaching clients were finding great benefit from a bunch of tools, including giving themselves better thoughts when, before, they would have let a critical voice have center stage. IContinue reading “Corey Folsom is now an author”

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 thoughtsContinue 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 isContinue 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.Continue 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 andContinue 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 formulatedContinue 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,Continue 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 IContinue 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 isContinue 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.Continue 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 orContinue 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 wasContinue 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 canContinue 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 shortContinue reading “The Peace of the Mountains”
