A Must See - The Power of Vulnerability

I cannot tell you how valuable this clip is.  The power of vulnerability is one of the things that I talk about often and teach others to understand.  In fact, it is even one module within my Collaborate With Your Soul eBook. Therefore, Brene Brown's speech deeply reasonates with me.  Take the time to watch it - it is worth it.

With love,
Janelle

The Eyes Can Tell So Much

When is the last time you looked deep into your partner's eyes?  The eyes can tell you so much.  They can be full of passion or pain, but we seldom look deep into them.  Today I want you to do something a little different.  Sit across from your lover and for about 5 minutes just stare into each other's eyes.  See what happens.  Actually, I suggest looking directly into your partner's eyes at least once per day.  It is hard to hide emotions when the focus is put upon the eyes.  Try this exercise and see what you think, it is powerful for lovers.

A Little Nibble Can Be Exciting

When was the last time you nibbled on your partner?  Where would your partner loved to be nibbled on?  Sure we discourage biting in our toddlers, but it can be an exciting addition to your lovemaking.  I am not talking Mike Tyson and biting the ear off, but a little teeth in your kisses can be as sexy as you can get.  Try it tonight and bite your partner on the ear or bite his/her lip a little as you kiss.  See what the reaction is.  Usually it will start a little more physical lovemaking and who isn't up for that?

Create The Unexpected

Create something different.  Take a little from here and a little from there.  Blend it together and see what begins to develop.  You can always add a little more of this or that...you have the power to create what you want.  You choose whether or not to mix in the old or the new.  You make the choice what you add to the mix.  You (along with your partner) create the blended spirit.

What are you going to choose to bring into your relationship?  What are you going to choose to leave along the edges?  What will you choose to leave behind completely?  Together through conscious choice you can create a relationship that is a beautiful masterpiece.

Resolutions - Are You Kidding Me?

New Year's Resolutions are hard to keep, but sometimes they are even harder to start.  So get out there and get started.  Plus put some more love into your relationship starting today.  The biggest support for your resolutions will most likely come from your partner.

Singing Bowl - Healing of Sound

Sounds can bring you healing and levels of relaxation that you may never have considered before.  It may be putting on some of your favorite music and dancing around the house or listening to it while you drive.  But, today I am sharing a little different practice.

This is just a quick and easy exercise that you can do to gain a sense of calmness and serenity - it may last for a few minutes or this relaxed state may stay with you all day.

Using a singing bowl, as pictured above, tap the rim of it with the mallet.  You may also run the mallet along the rim of the bowl as well.  Allow this beautiful tone to penetrate you.  Close your eyes and focus only on the sound.  Continue to focus on the sound as you breathe in deeply and exhale slowly.  Listen until you absolutely can no longer hear the sound.  Repeat this if you wish.

This will only take a couple of minutes, but it can transform your entire day.

Blessings to you filled with light and love dear ones~

Do Something Naked Together Today

The Love is... comic strip has the couple always naked together having fun.

As relationships go it seems like the only time couples are naked together is when they are about to make love.  Most of the time the fear of being naked with each other is because of body image.  Well I am going to challenge all you couples out there to do something together today totally naked.  It doesn't have to be anything special - just get naked and be together.  Maybe you could cook dinner naked together or watch a movie naked and snuggling.  Just take some time to enjoy each other with nothing between the two of you.  Later on, if you like, you can take it to a more intimate level.  But, for now just enjoy each other in your truest form.

If you have children, this might be a little harder.  If nothing else, just retire to your room, lock the door, strip down and read together.  Maybe you could work a crossword puzzle lying in your bed naked.  I don't want any excuses, drop the clothes and get naked together.

Listen on iTunes to our expanded discussion about this post!

What in God's Name is the Dog Doing?

Even the dog is making changes!

How did this happen?!!  Is he contacting other dogs?  Is he donating dog food to a shelter?  Or is he studying up on galactic changes?  Oh my God, maybe he is reading about other beings - those from other dimensions, those from Spirit.  Of course, it is also possible that he is just checking your facebook page wondering why on Earth you posted a picture of him in that silly elf costume from Christmas....your slippers are history ;) 

This is a new year - it happens every 12 months.  So, what is the big deal?  It is a common experience to feel the need to make changes come January every year.  We look back and see things we didn't like or that we weren't successful at during the past year with the realization that yes, an entire year has passed.  Then we decide to do things differently.  But, how long do most of us stick to our new plan?  Maybe it lasts a few weeks or maybe even through spring.  

This year there is more emphasis on change and transformation because the Mayan calendar has had a lot of attention.  Well, changes are not going to just magically occur this year or in December of this year.  These changes have already been slowly taking place and they will only truly take affect for you if you consciously choose to transform your life.  

So, what are you waiting for?  With focused attention and intention you can learn to love yourself, have compassion for yourself, uncover your vulnerabilities, awaken to your Soul and transform not only your life, but the lives of those around you (everyone - friends, family, your lover, pets, neighbors, plants, etc.).  Sometimes you just need a little guidance.

Don't wait any longer - the dog isn't!
