Meditation Techniques for Couples

There is a saying “Couples that pray together, stay together”. Well, I also believe that couples that meditate together will do the same. Couples meditation is a great way to grow closer, bond or even to stop an argument. Meditation is a great way to help you and your significant other keep a leveled head and bring balance back into the relationship.

People think that meditation is a personal experience that must only be done alone. However, I believe that couple’s meditation can align your breathing with your partner and allow you to both be more receptive to each others emotional needs. In other words its a great way to get better in tuned with each other.

The following is a great exercise to help you and your loved one learn couples meditation:

1. Sit cross-legged facing your partner so that your knees are touching. Try as much as possible to keep your back straight during this meditation. This allows you to breath openly and it makes you more receptive to the flow of subtle energy within your body.

2. Place your hands on your knees. One of your palms should be facing up, with your partner’s palm facing down atop it. Your other palm should be facing down, atop the upward facing palm of your partner.

3. Breathe. Allow your breath to flow naturally. You’ll likely notice after a few moments that your breathing has come into a alignment. This is very good thing. This brings the two of you to a place of receptivity.

Remember the most important part of this practice is to just simply spend this quiet time together. Don’t force yourself, simply sit quietly. When you an both allow this still moment to take place, you will notice an increase in tenderness and an increase in presence in your relationship.

So, choose a quiet place, simply breathe, be patient and try this for about 10 minutes and see where it takes you. As you become more advanced with couple meditation, you’ll be able to begin bringing your mindfulness to different parts of your experience.

Warning Signs of an Emotional Affair

If you're worried you, or your spouse, is getting sucked into an emotional affair and you want to know what warning signs emotional affair are, read on.

An emotional affair can sneak up on anyone. No one really goes looking for an emotional affair, they just find themselves feeling a connection to a person. Usually that connection isn't physical, at least not at first, and that is why it can be so easy to not realize what is happening until it's too late.

It's much more difficult to break off a relationship once you start to have feelings for the other person than it is if the relationship is just purely sexual. That's why in some ways an emotional affair can be worse than a sexual relationship.

Here are some tell tale signs that you are on the brink of having an emotional affair:

1. If you find yourself defending the relationship by saying 'We're just friends', chances are you're on your way to something more. Think about it for a moment, when you're talking about a friend who you have no attraction to at all you don't ever feel the need to defend that relationship, do you? Even in the early stages of an emotional affair, there is a part of you that knows what's going on and that's why you will feel the need to defend the relationship.

2. If you're spending time thinking about that person that is a real danger sign. Again, as a benchmark, think of one of your other friends. Do you think about them as often as this new person in your life? If the answer is no, you have to be careful of what is developing between you and your new crush.

3. Do you almost feel like your life is on hold until you're with your new friend? If you find that you can't wait until the next time you can see them or that you don't even want to go anywhere unless you know they'll be there, then there is a very good chance that what you're feeling is a lot more than just friendship.

4. If you are opening up to this person more than you are your spouse or boy/girl friend than that is another sign of a problem. Your spouse is the person you should be able to talk to about anything. If you find that you can tell this new person in your life things that you can't, or won't, tell your spouse you are getting in way too deep.

5. If you find that you are making excuses just to spend time with your new friend alone, than you are well on your way to committing adultery. Manufacturing reasons to be alone with this person is a sign that deep inside you want the relationship to be more than just friends.

If you, or someone you love, shows warning signs of an emotional affair, don't wait, take action right away. It's not easy to end a relationship when you are in love with the other person, that's why it's best to end it before it really gets started.

How To Get Over A Relationship

One of the sad realities of life is that most of us will experience at least one very difficult and painful breakup in our lifetime. Everyone, and every situation is different, there is no one size fits all solution, and despite what many will say there is no set time limit either, it will take as long as it takes. But if you want a few tips on how to get over a relationship more quickly, just read on.

I know I said there was no specific time limit, and I meant it, but if you find that you're not really living your life, you're missing work, or you're not spending time with your friends, etc, for more that a few months you might want to get some help. There's nothing wrong with still hurting or having feelings for your ex after a few months, but if the feelings are still so raw that you aren't really living your life, you may be able to benefit from someone who can help you wade through those intense emotions.

Don't ever feel uncomfortable asking for help if you need it. Going through a breakup hurts like crazy, and if someone can help you move through that pain a little more quickly, why wouldn't you jump at that?

Here are a few tips that may be able to help you find the closure you need, a little more quickly, so that you can move on and find another relationship:

1. It's OK, and even necessary, to spend a little time grieving. A breakup is kind of like a death, you've just lost the companionship of someone you've loved and relied on. That's a hard thing to do. It's important that you don't try to pretend that you aren't hurting.

While I'm not suggesting you run around crying all the time, you do need to acknowledge the pain you are feeling and not just try to bury it and pretend you don't care. If you do that the pain will not really ever go away and it will jump up and surprise you when you least expect it. You have to allow yourself time to grieve, then heal.

2. Resist the urge to contact your ex. You do have to learn to build your life without your ex in it. I know that one statement can be unbelievably painful, but it's true and the sooner you realize it and try to move on the sooner you will feel joy again and be ready for another relationship. A clean break is usually the best, in the long run.

3. In a relationship two people tend to 'meld' into one. A lot of tastes and interests can overlap to the point where it's a little tough to remember where you stop and your partner starts. That's why it's so important to get 'you' back after a breakup. Spend time doing the things you enjoyed doing before you were with your ex.

Chances are there were some activities that you didn't do as often when you were in your relationship because your ex didn't enjoy them. Those are the activities you need to spend time doing now. Not only will that help take your mind off of your ex, but it will give you something fun to do that will help you forget about your ex.

When you're trying to figure out how to get over a relationship, just remember that it will take time. I know that sounds like a cliche, but it's true. Just allow yourself time to grieve, and don't put added pressure on yourself by setting a time limit. The amount it time it takes to move on will take as long as it takes.

ALWAYS START YOUR DAY RIGHT

The morning is a time to Breathe In. Exhale and Let Go. It's a time to start afresh and make amends from yesterday. Everything happens for a purpose so Love your life, Live it well and Learn from it.

DEPRESSION

I love to sleep. Why? Because my life seems to always fall apart when I am awake. I love to be alone. Why? Because everyone thinks I'm invisible anyway. Some people have to wonder sometimes what its like to have someone that cares for them. Someone to be their strength when all hope has gone. We all face disappointments, failures and mistakes. But regardless there is always a part of you worth keeping. Do something special to show someone you love and care about them today! #randomactsofkindness

BALANCE

It's ok to not feel balanced sometimes. We all fall short at some point in our lives. You acknowledge your shortcomings and that's the first step. Just remember that you always have the choice to take all things steadily, to hold on to nothing, and receive each issue that bothers you as if you had only a few minutes to live.

REPOST FROM THE BALTIMORE EXAMINER
By: Vickie Oliver Lawson - April 4, 2013

As I move around the area, this writer is usually intrigued by those with whom I come into contact. I met spa owner and entrepreneur, Julie Williamson, and was piqued by the myriad of interests and talents she possesses. Originally from the West Indies, this business woman now makes her home in the Baltimore area. Below is a one-on-one interview as she told me about her latest ventures, including her spa, Return to Clarity.

Q1: How do you describe what you do?

A: I am the owner of a spa center that offers services geared towards helping individuals to relax and live healthier lives. Our motto is “Make Time For Yourself”. Being in this industry has helped me to realize how important it is to balance and restore your mind, body and spirit when the pressures of jobs, family, and relationships can wear you down. Therefore, I intend to dedicate my life to teaching how rewarding yourself, making time for fun, and staying healthy can increase your happiness in your life and with your loved ones.

Q2; When, why and how did you get started?

A: I always loved books and reading so I eventually opened a bookstore in March, 2006. Shortly after that I started writing not knowing that I even had the talent or the knowhow. I began writing on a series of topics that I myself had not experienced and so it became difficult to find the inspiration to complete the book based on the fact that I hadn’t experienced the subjects I was discussing. 7 years later I would revisit this book and read it to discover that I was in fact now going through the live (sic) changing experiences I wrote about in this book that can sometimes leave you feeling depressed and stagnant. It was finally time for me to continue writing and finish this project.

Q3: Who influenced/influences you the most?

A: I have come across many people who have had positive and negative influences in my life. I have learned that no matter the situation, everyone in your life has a certain impact that allows you to grow. It’s up to you whether or not you want to grow in a positive direction. I am humble enough to say that everyone who has crossed my path has molded me into the beautiful person I believe that I am today.

Q4: What is the name of your latest project and what is it about?

A:I have recently published an ebook that I was writing for over 6 years. The book is titled Creating Your Life Plan: Practical Ways to Manifest a Life You Can Love and Enjoy. The book basically takes you through the process of realizing that you go through stages in your life that may become overwhelming at times but it’s important to remember the process of life, where you are and embracing that place. It shows you ways you can learn to take time to nurture and love yourself so that you can be balanced, at peace and live a joyful life.

A part of this book also included a relationships chapter which I have also since removed and published another book about dating and relationships. This book is entitled finding the Right Partner: How To Attract and Keep Your Soul Mate.
Both books are available for immediate purchase and download in the Amazon Kindle Store.

Q5: What's next for you?

A: I am hoping to continue a series of self-help books geared towards healthy living as well as dating & relationships. In addition, I am also in the process of writing and publishing several adult romance short stories as well as a novel. I have found since I started writing that this gift is allowing me to use my talent in many ways.

Q6: Where do you see yourself five years from now?

A: Five years from now I see myself doing the things that I most love to do and making a living from it. This is writing self-help books, writing short stories and teaching others how to live a healthier, more balanced, and joyful life.

Q7: What challenges did you experience in your area of the arts and how do you get beyond them?

A: I have experienced writers block many times. My thought process would sometimes cease and I would get frustrated because of the lack of concentration. It can sometimes be frustrating because you want to finish the project. What has worked for me is either jotting down ideas for future projects or I may start to write something in a totally different genre.

Q8: How do you want to be remembered?

A: I would like to be remembered as being a positive influence in the lives of the people who are close to me. I would also like to be known to have published self-help books that changed the lives of many.

Q9: What advice would you give to the next generation?
 
A: Try to not take this whole “life” thing so personally You are good enough and can do anything your heart desires. There is no place for misery in your heart and you should always strive to be a positive role model in society. There will be enough pain in your future so embrace love and happiness as it is part of the human experience. Never deny yourself of the simple pleasures in life. Get out and see the world, learn something new every day, and never forget to smell the roses. Start loving yourself now. Unconditionally.

Q10: How can people get in touch with you?

GET EXCITED ABOUT LIFE

If you’re not as excited about your life as you want to be, increasing the joy in your life is something that you can take control of. Think about the things or people that motivate, inspire and energize you. If you don’t have such people or things you MUST get out and learn new skills and engage in activities that have personal meaning. You must also learn to stop the drama, allow emotional flow, consciously breathe, practice optimism, happily choose joy and follow your bliss. And don’t worry about what other people are expecting from you. Only you have to live with your decisions.

LOVE

Love is at the center of our existence. It is an essential point of supply that gives us fortitude and guidance. It is an overpowering fascination and chemistry for a person, a place or an idea. I allow myself to love deeply. I show love through random acts of kindness. I accept and value the people in my life that deserve my love. I make time for myself and do the things necessary that enables me to be at peace, find joy continue to love.

COMMITMENT

DEVOTION: When you devote yourself, you commit to something you care about deeply. It drives you to passionately focus on that purpose. Recognizing what is worthy is the first step to our devotion. What captivates you so completely that you cannot resist, knowing that it is truly yours or yours to do? Today is Commitment Day! Ask yourself...What is your "YES"?

-Julie Williamson

APPRECIATE

When you take the power of "what if..." seriously, you will embrace the power to construct your own blueprint. Small adjustments to our character and demeanor each day can create a major difference in our appreciation of life. On the outside, nothing changes. At the same time, absolutely everything does. Use your awareness or your imagination to bring happiness to this moment. Find something to appreciate. Continue this as often as you remember to do so, and you will alter your world.

TEMPERANCE

I have the self-discipline to make better decisions. I refrain from negative distractions. I document strategically then pursue and reach my goals. I carefully nurture my character and reward myself often to stay motivated. When we practice temperance our vision becomes sharper and we become honest with ourselves, which allows us to become happier and live by our highest values. --JW

OPTIMISM

When I believe that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, that everything is good, of which is bad and everything right, which is wrong. When I'm trusting and believing in myself as fully as possible, everything in my life reflects this by falling into place, often effortlessly. I commit to living a happy and healthier lifestyle by any means necessary or die trying. --Julie Williamson

Relationships And Cheating Does It Happen To Everybody

It's a sad reality, people cheat on their spouses. You can't hardly read a paper or watch t.v. these days without hearing about some politician or sports figure making a public apology for an affair. But can you avoid this type of relationship? Is it possible to have a relationship with no cheating, or do relationships and cheating go hand it hand?

The good news is that not everyone cheats. As a matter of fact, there are lots of people who will stay faithful to their partner for their whole life. The important thing to remember is that cheating is a choice, it's not some biological need.

Our society tends to have a double standard between men and women when it comes to sexuality, even in this modern day and age it's still there. While society tends to turn a blind eye to the indiscretions of a man and in some ways even condones that type of behavior, women are still made to feel as though they are a slut if they have multiple partners while men are referred to as studs. See, double standard is alive and well.

So if a man, or woman, tries to say they cheated because they couldn't help it, you know that is not true and there is just something wrong with that particular person. Once you realize that, you can end the relationship and move on to someone who has more respect for them self and for you and your relationship.

In many cases the warning signs will be there very early in the relationship and once they've been spotted you can save yourself an awful lot of pain by ending things right then and there. For example, if you are starting to date someone who you know cheated in their last relationship, what makes you think they won't do the same thing to you?

Many people will be very delusional at this point and convince themselves that their lover cheated in their past relationship because something was wrong in the relationship and since you are so wonderful and your relationship is so wonderful they don't need to cheat on you.

That line of thinking couldn't be more wrong. There's actually quite a bit of evidence to suggest that men are actually more prone to cheat on a wonderful loving women more quickly. Why? Simple, because on some level he thinks that she's so in love with him that he can do whatever he wants to and she will put up with it. And, unfortunately, that's often true.

People also tend to cheat because they aren't getting the feeling of love that they need. On of the best ways to greatly diminish the possibility that your lover will ever cheat on you is to pick someone who has a lot of self confidence. I don't mean a stupid, fake macho swagger which is really just a sign that that person is very insecure, but I mean someone who knows who they are and likes who they are. That type of person would be far less likely to need to have a harem of women telling him how great he is. He'd be much more likely to be content with just his wife telling him how great he is.

Just keep these tips in mind and remember that relationships and cheating do not have to go hand in hand. The best deterrent to cheating is finding the right partner.

Detox Your Body: Helpful Tips

Do you want to cleanse or detox your body?  If so, please continue reading on for some important and helpful tips.

There is a difference between a colon cleanse and a whole body cleanse or detox.  The results are similar, but they are achieved in different ways.  In most cases, you will start to see immediate results with a colon cleanse.  This means that you may be running to the bathroom.  On the other hand, a body detox isn’t always as fast, so you should be able to go about your normal day.

To successfully remove toxins from your body, you need to stop putting them in. That is why all should stop drinking coffee or soda, even just temporarily.  Unfortunately, many of us have become dependent on the caffeine.  If this is the case, start weaning yourself off it.  This is important if you drink a lot of soda or coffee, as you may notice withdrawal symptoms when you first start your detox.  In the days leading up to your cleanse, slowly reduce your caffeine intake.

A popular way to detox or cleanse the body is to fast on water.  During this time, you will not consume other liquids or solid foods.  Water helps to expel toxins from your body, but the lack of solid foods also enables your body to rest and cleanse more.  Although water fasting is an ideal way to detox the body, there are some risks involved.  Extended fasts can lead to malnutrition.  Always listen to your body.

Whether you opt for a water fast or a juice fast, it is important to proceed with caution.  At the end of your fast, you may be craving a lot of food, but take it slow.  Your body may have spent three to seven days without any food.  It needs time to readjust.  For that reason, start out small and consume easy to sallow and digest foods, like soup or applesauce.

Organic food is a great way to detox your body.  It is ideal for those who need to eat or those who are overweight.  Whether you have a medical condition or have become dependent on food, you may find it unbearable to go without in a water or juice fast.  Instead of suffering or giving up halfway through the detox, choose a better option.  Just switch to organic, all-natural foods.

To find all-natural, organic foods, visit specialty food stores.  Your grocery store may have a section, but it may be small and you may find high prices.  Visit the online websites of organic food manufacturers to find money-saving coupons.  Organic food can be ordered online.  Although you will have to pay for shipping, you may find the best selection.

Water should be your best friend during a cleanse or detox.  The more water you consume, the less hungry you feel and the more toxins will be expelled. On that same note, do not overdo it on the water.  Too much water can lead to serious health complications, including death.  On average, eight 8-ounce glasses of water is recommended.  Depending on your weight, how much you sweat, and how much you exercise, you can safely consume more.

If you opt for a detox product, like detox food patches or pills, read all directions.  This is not only for your safety, but for success.  Some require more than just taking a few pills; you may still need to modify your diet.  Your chances of successfully eliminating toxins from your body increases when you follow all product directions.

Finally, don’t return to your normal eating habits.  Regardless of how you detoxed your body, you now have a cleaner one.  Right away, you should notice many benefits.  These benefits may include weight loss, more energy, and better skin.  Unfortunately, if you return back to your normal eating habits, these “good feelings,” will soon disappear.  Now is the perfect time to reduce your calorie intake, eat healthier foods, or make the switch to organic.

8 Dating Tips for Black Women

If you're getting ready for a date, these 8 dating tips for black women can help you make a good impression and keep him interested (if you want him to be).

1. Pay attention to how much perfume you wear. He's probably going to wear cologne and may overdo it a bit himself. And when people are nervous or want to make a really good impression they often overdo it with that. So go lighter rather than heavier with your favorite perfume.

2. Don't wear your highest heels. Unless you know that you're only going to the fanciest restaurant and not going to be doing very much walking, leave your biggest shoes at home. He might have planned a long walk somewhere and if you're wearing stilettos that can be uncomfortable.

3. If this is a first date, try to tone everything down a little bit. Black women sometimes go for the big impression right away, when that's not always the best thing to do. Wear an easy hairstyle that's not too complicated and comfortable clothes that look nice, without going as fancy as possible unless you know the situation really calls for it.

4. Don't leave it up to him to come up with every topic of conversation. Avoid things like religion and politics, but do bring up things like the last movie you saw or the kind of hobbies you enjoy.

5. Bringing up current events is also a good conversation starter. Before you go on the date for at least a couple of days make a point of watching the news and being aware of what's going on, if that's something you're not already doing. That should give you both plenty to talk about.

6. Don't be too hard on your date. But do notice the little things. Maybe he hasn't had a manicure lately and his shoes aren't brand-new, but try to be a bit forgiving if everything isn't absolutely perfect.

7. Remember that he's nervous, too. In fact, he may be much more nervous than you are. A lot has to do with how often he dates and how often you date. It may have taken him a while to build up the courage to even ask you out. So he's terribly worried about making a good impression. Bear that in mind and it can make you feel a little bit less nervous.

8. Pay him a compliment. This is something that black women should remember because men love to be complimented. If you like his shirt, say so. If you like the cologne he's wearing, mention it. Any sign of approval from you will set him at ease and make him a little bit less nervous because he'll be very pleased that you like something about him. That will make the date go much, much better because he'll feel a little bit more confident. Then you can both concentrate on just having a good time.

Remember these dating tips for black women, and have a great time on your date.

5 Dating Tips for Men

These free dating tips for men can help you out next time you want to impress a special someone. But don't forget that you shouldn't follow some set of rules at the expense of having a good time. You want to be able to enjoy yourself without being too worried about specifics.

The first free dating tip for men is to look your best when you ask her out. Yes, it's important to look great when you go on your date, but when you ask her for this date she's going to notice certain things, too.

Women notice hands and feet. So make sure your shoes are reasonably clean and that your nails and hands are well groomed. You don't have to have a professional manicure, but just make sure your nails are trimmed neatly and are clean.

Likewise, you don't have to wear brand-new shoes to ask her on a date. But make sure the ones you're wearing are clean and tidy looking. Those tennis shoes grass stained tennis shoes might not be the best choice for asking her on a date.

The second important free dating tip for men is to check your breath both before you ask her out and before you go on your date. Make sure it smells fresh. Not only will you want fresh breath if you go to give her a goodnight kiss, but you plan on having some conversation, don't you?

And here's a third free dating tip for men that can help things go much smoother on your date. Plan a few things to talk about. Don't just go thinking you'll come up with something.

Before you go on the date, think about the latest movies you've seen and the latest books you've read. Just sort of refresh your memory about them so you'll have something to talk about. If you're not up on current events, watch the news for a few days before you go on this date.

You will want to avoid things like religion and politics, and the usual topics of conversation that are best to avoid when you're around new people. But current events are usually easy topics of conversation for almost everyone.

A fourth free dating tip for men is to pay her a compliment at least once on the date. Compliment her more if it seems natural to do so. The problem is you're going to be nervous, and you may forget to compliment her perfume or her dress.

So make a point of finding something you like and mentioning it. The earlier in the day you do this, the better it will probably go. She's going to be nervous also, so if you complement her she'll be pleased that you like something about her.

The fifth of these free dating tips for men is to not think of it as a make it or break a date. Just try to make sure you both have a good time and your chances for a second date will go up.

3 Tips and More on How To Know Mr. Right

We all know that no one is perfect.  So when you are one your search for Mr. Right, you can't expect someone who is perfect, but you can expect someone who is perfect...for you.  Do yourself a favor before you start your search, take some time on you.  Make sure you are a secure confidant woman who knows who she is and what she wants (though I don't mean an inflexible ice queen).  Once you're at that place you will find that you will attract an awful lot of great guys since 'like attracts like'.  Once you've met someone, here are some tips to follow to determine how to know Mr Right.

1. What types of qualities are important to you?  Is honesty, humor, sensitivity, etc. what you'd want in a mate?  First you need to know what traits you would want in a man. That may sound obvious, but most people don't take the time to think about that.  Don't expect your Mr. Right to have all of these traits, but as long as he has most of them to some degree that is a good sign that you've found someone you could be happy with for the long term.

2. One trait that probably wasn't on your Mr. Right wish list was manipulative.  If your new guy tries to control you, and you have to  be careful since it can sometimes be very subtle, then my guess would be you wouldn't be happy with someone like that for the rest of your life.

3. Most women think of Mr. Right as someone they would want to marry and start a family with.  You don't want to rush it, but at some point early in the relationship there is nothing wrong with asking  him what he wants in his future.  When you ask that question don't make it about you or your relationship, but make it more generic.  For example, you could  casually ask if he thinks he'll have kids some day.  That's not an unreasonable question to ask, though you should probably wait until you've dated a few times first. 

A Mr. Right type of guy would probably answer that question with something like: " Sure, some day I'd love to get married and have kids", or something to that effect. 

If a guy gets overly sensitive or defensive to that simple question than more than likely he really isn't looking for that type of relationship with you and you might want to consider looking elsewhere.

Just remember that finding Mr. Right doesn't have to happen on some time frame, it will probably happen when you least expect it. But do yourself a favor, make sure you keep your eyes open and that you see what is really there and not just what you want to be there.  To often women will settle for Mr. Wrong because they pretended he was Mr. Right.  Follow this advice and you will know how to know Mr Right when you meet him!

CLARITY

I have clarity of perception and objectives. My inner consciousness points me in ways that compliments my life and brings me great happiness. As I breathe in, I unite with all that is sound and complete. Within the core of this uncertain life, I am balanced. As I exhale, I can now see the good in everyone and all things.
