Find wonderful places to enjoy together.

As summer approaches and we get ready for the vacation season, some of us might have a little more challenge with our finances then others.  You can find wonderful things to do with your partner that do not cost an arm and a leg to do.  Start by looking for places that might interest you that don't cost much or are free.  Wonderful areas of nature or spiritual places are great for this.  We recently took a trip to Serpent Mound in Ohio and were amazed at this wonderful mystery that was placed in the ground many years ago by native americans.  You can also save by camping it you enjoy that or use special offers that are in abundance right now as Hotels and Cities are wanting to get travels to their destinations, and know that the economy is tough right now.  I have seen packages for hotels, attractions, and even food coupons that would give you a wonderful time away for one low price.  To make your trip together one you can afford and have a good time, try to stay away from attractions that get you in and then constantly bombard you for more money.  Amusements parks are great for getting more money out of you once you get in.  Do your research and you will find many things you can do this summer for next to nothing. 

Reiki a great way to heal and touch your partner.

You can feel the energy between your hands. 

Recently my partner and I got our level one Reiki atunment.  It was a wonderful class and gave us new reasons to touch each other.  Reiki is an ancient form of healing using energy.  In Reiki you can hover your hands above a person and provide them with healing energy.  However with a person you are comfortable with you can actually touch them and do the same thing.  Now my partner and I are constantly giving each other healing energy through Reiki but we also get to enjoy each others touch, and that is healing in it's own right.  You can find out more about Reiki at http://reiki.org ,and then if you think it might be something wonderful for your relationship, you can search the internet for a training class in your area.  Just be careful we got our class for $75 and I have heard of people getting charged up to $10,000 for the service.  Just know that you don't have to pay a bundle to get the training.

Eat fruit it is sexy.

          There is not better food in my opinion that is sexier than fruit.  A nice juicy apple, the sweet goodness of a banana, or the flavor of a grape.  Fruit carries the sweetness from a natural perspective.  Why do I associate sweetness with intimacy?  I am not sure but for me corn, celery, carrots or any other vegetables are not as sexy to me as the delicious taste of fruit.  I suggest having fruit on hand all the time.  Have it sitting in a bowl on your table, put it in your other foods such as cereals in the morning or on your ice cream at night.  When you bite into your fruit tell me how it feels, is it a bit orgasmic that rush of sweet juicy flavor.  Now you might not agree with me, however you at least have to try it out and see now that I have put this seed in your mind.  After you eat your sexy fruit you will have to let your other desires run their coarse and see if you can consider fruit an aphrodisiac.  

Taking our First Reiki Class

Reiki (霊気?, English pronunciation: /ˈreɪkiː/) is a spiritual practice[1] developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui. It uses a technique commonly called palm healing as a form of complementary and alternative medicine and is sometimes classified as oriental medicine by some professional bodies.

My partner and I are about to take our first level Reiki class.  I will have to report back to you and tell you how it went.  This is a great example of getting out and learning something together.  These types of activities can only strengthen your relationship and bring you closer together.  Search your local papers and find out what educational classes or event are being held in your area.  Some of these things are even free for those of us that are budget conscious.

Use the Love diet.

Kissing it could change your life.

Everyone is obsessed with losing weight these days.  Frankly America could stand to lose some weight as a nation.  Well I have come up with the the answer for everyone.  Snacking seems to be most peoples downfall.  We snack because we don't have anything better to do or because we feel like we have to as we watch a movie or television.

Here is my answer, when you get that craving to snack instead start making out with each other.  Kiss passionately and fill that void with love and enjoyment instead of snacking.  It works when you are watching television or a movie as well as any other time you might desire a snack.  Now you will start craving your partners lips on yours instead of putting those chips across your lips.

Do be afraid and try it what is the worst that could happen?  You and your partner will enjoy some kissing like you use to have in the early days of your relationship.  Guess what?  Kissing also burns calories so instead of consuming calories you will be burning them up so in you will be doing yourself twice the amount of good.  On another note it could also lead to a little more physical activity which will burn even more calories are you starting to get the picture.  I think I will start writing the intimacy diet book soon, it is sure to be national best seller, what do you think?

Lovers / Night

The Lovers - by Pablo Picasso

Being lovers at night encompasses all thing intimate.  Be it your sexual activity or just snuggling up and touching each other.  Sex is an important part of any committed relationship it is one part of the fuel that fires the engines.  However being close and touching each other is just as important.  The lack of touch brings distance between couples and distance is not a good thing.   During this night time touch your partner caress them massage them and close that distance.  This night time is also the time to throw yourself into your partners arms and be a little animalistic in your desire for each other.  Find your rhythm in being lovers at night and soon you will find it comes easier and easier.

Partners / Night

Take your meeting to the table don't do them in your bedroom.

Being partners at night is a good time to do your planning.  Setting goals for the future and going over the finances are always a great thing to do together.  During this time in the evening you can do things like make a budget together, plan or assign chores for both of you and discuss issues that need attention.  Have a meeting for these topics, sit at the table and converse about them in an open and caring manner.  These planning and action steps will help to strengthen your relationship and allow things to flow in a much better manner.

Friends / Night

You can be best friends in a relationship.

Being friends can continue into the late evenings.  You can watch movies together or one of my favorite things to do is spend the evening talking.  I love to converse with my friend about things into the wee hours of the morning.  They can be about anything and everything and yet sometimes they are just remembering the past memories the two of you have shared.  Again just hanging out together and being present with each other is a wonderful thing.  Go take your friendship to the next level and see if you relationship can also be a best friend relationship.
