Getting to “I Do”: Temporary forced dualism of masculine and feminine energy

I read Getting to "I Do" by Dr. Patricia Allen (ISBN: 978-0-380-71815-3 http://www.amazon.com/Getting-I-Do-Pat-Allen/dp/0380718154) It’s target audience is women, but the author claims either sex can make use of the information. Some is decent, but I do wonder where the wheels came off in the sense that much seems intuitive to me while other parts I find disturbing. If that is what is required to find a long-term partner, I question how this is going to happen for me.

Subconscious goal pursuit

A recent review of goal-seeking studies (Custers and Aarts, 2010, Science, vol. 329, pp 47-50) (Abstract: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/329/5987/47) concludes that humans may pursue goals that are not endorsed by or even apparent to conscious awareness. Furthermore, consciously-pursued goals are subject to influence by subconscious 'primers' experienced prior to conscious engagement. A principal conclusion from the article is worth quoting at length:

was not sure were to post this. I did not catch the whole show. I just heard part of it but a lot of what I heard sounding a little familiar. I have not had a chance to research his ideas. just took time to post this for others to look over.

Power of Myth

Community topics: 

I have an insight from reading Power of Myth. I am just a few pages in and things opened up for me very quick. Campbell talks about relationships and marriage in the very beginning of the book. Well I do not want to say that I am now glad that have not been in a relationship yet. It is just before now and even now I am not ready and I have never been ready for one. The way he describes how they should be is mind opening. The process of being One not just 2 halves of a whole but just the one. I do not have the words. I recommend everyone pick up the book and read it.

The Tale of an O-Hunter: Introduction

Greetings.

I am a 23-year-old single male. A few months, a female coworker took me clothes-shopping because she thought my wardrobe needed help (it did, and because I can hardly bring myself to care, it has already sunk back to almost the same depths of disrepair smiley ).

Patterns

Community topics: 

Nice massage/karezza on Sunday. Monday I back off, sated and not wanting to bother my love. Tuesday's schedule prevents our seeing each other until 9 PM. At bedtime, after the briefest of kisses, with my keen sight I perceive I am no longer welcome in her bed. It's normal and I am a little hurt. What to do with the hurt? First-worst impulse, blame her for not being loving. It's annoying to still be doing that, but I let it go real quick. I want touch, it looks affectionate, and it's bonding (Right?) but what nice little Moita's did I do? 5?

Notes from 10 days without orgasm

I shall not narrate each day of my first no orgasm experiment, but instead provide some general comments about my state of mind, the difficulty of self-denial, and my problems with anger. The reason for not writing a day-by-day account is that most of my notes from those days proved superfluous. Only after the first experiment failed and I started another one did I have the necessary perspective to identify some of the personal phenomenology of dopamine jolt withdrawal. I plan to write a separate post about my temporal progression of withdrawal.

Hormone Oxytocin calms arguing couples

This research shows how bonding behaviors can positively affect health by reducing stress.

A dose of the hormone Oxytocin reduces the stress hormone Cortisol in arguing couples. In addition, Oxytocin strengthens positive behaviour, as researchers at the University of Zurich have discovered. The study by the psychologist Beate Ditzen has appeared in the specialist magazine "Biological Psychiatry".

Yoga and sacred sex

I've been a frequent visitor to this site for some time, and can gladly confirm the findings presented. Over the past six months of trying this method of sexual activity, I can only say that the differences in my marital relationship - and in my life in general - have been profound. I look forward to continued spiritual growth.

I have been thinking of incorporating yoga into my daily life. Can anyone comment on whether this would make even more of a difference?
