FREE Report: 7 Keys to Wake Up Your Sex Life Now and Forever
When we fall in love it’s all sunshine and roses. But down the road, we may find that we are getting sunburn and pricked by love’s thorns on a regular basis. Why the drastic turn around? As part of a committed couple, your partner cannot help but hold a big shiny mirror in front of you whenever you interact. At the “love and roses” stage, we
Maci, I really can’t express to you how grateful John and I are for your work. My heart is full and warm as I sit here, reflecting on the path we have walked as a couple over the last nine months. When we signed up for the first Passion & Presence, it was out of desperation. I had been on depression medication for a year,
“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.” ― Anaïs Nin Anaïs Nin knew that love, sexuality, and creativity can lose their luster through erosion or neglect. The word “withering” suggests the need to pick
By Julia Corley, Passion and Presence™ facilitator. I’m involved with Passion & Presence couple retreats because I deeply believe that erotic pleasure is our birthright. Sex is natural, normal, and beautiful. At its essence, it can be a powerful path to connection with ourselves, our lovers, and the divine. Since I began to consciously know what sex was, it’s always seemed absurd to me that there’s
What is Mindful Sexuality and How Can We Access it? Mindful Sexuality is a philosophy, a practice, and a set of skills to cultivate curiosity, heartfullness and a spirit of erotic exploration. The traditional practice involves bringing gentle awareness to our immediate experience, which is an antidote to automaticity. By turning attention to the present, we become aware of the fullness and depth of our
Recently, a participant in one of our retreats came back into the room with a big smile on her face. “Erotic triggers are the best foreplay,” she gushed, still a bit out of breath. Those in the room knew what she meant, but this might sound a bit peculiar to the uninitiated. So, what exactly is an erotic trigger? How are they formed? How could
Sex-Related Anxieties Abound Real Life Sex is what I have dubbed sex as it happens in the real world versus what happens on-screen. In real life, there are no chiffon dresses, violins, panning away with the camera, “perfect” bodies, or other notions about what “perfect” sex might look like. Nor is it always “smokin’ hot,” spontaneous or even satisfying. Real Life Sex is also filled
When I created our couples’ sexuality retreats, Halko and I assumed droves of growth-oriented pleasure-seekers would jump at the chance to use eroticism as their pathway to healing and transformation. It seemed evident that all those conjugal “roommates” out there (an estimated 20% of couples) would trip over themselves to establish a more vital erotic connection. I could see how our retreats would be just the
As a couple do you wonder how to model healthy sexuality to your children? There are many ways to educate our children about sex. One way is through our words and what we say about sex, but children learn even more enduring lessons by observing our behavior. Just as you learned about sex by observing how the people around you handled sexuality, your children are
Who said learning about sex had to be so deadly serious? You would think that learning about sex might feel, well…fun and sexy. Not so. As a trained sex therapist, I can relate to this statement: “It’s frightening how boring researchers can make an exciting subject.” That comes from the respected research psychoanalyst Paul Joannides, author of The Guide to Getting it On, one of
