Are You Documenting Your Love

What is your love story?  Have you documented how you met and how you fell in love?  You might not think this is important or it is something you might never forget.  However, documenting this major experience in your life is vital.  Not to be morbid, but at some point in time one of you might pass away - leaving the other alone in the physical form.  For them to be able to read in your words how the two of you fell in love would be amazing to have for them to enjoy.  Not to mention when you both are gone from this physical world your children and grandchildren would love to have these messages to enjoy and rejoice over.  If writing isn't your thing, then take some video of you both expressing how you fell in love.  Again, these might seem trivial now, but later in life they will become valuable beyond compare.

Cool Tattoo - Could the Dolphin Be Your Sexual Power Animal Archetype™?

Wait, wait, wait!  You are here because you want to know if the dolphin could be your Sexual Power Animal Archetype™.  And, maybe you just thought this tattoo design is freaking cool - I certainly do :)  

But, do you know what an archetype is?  If you do, it still won't hurt to read my explanation.  And, if you don't know, then here you go - a little something new for you today.  

I am going to share a sneak peek into a bit of our upcoming book, Inspiring Couples in Business + in Love.  

Archetypes are your soul's code + your inner personalities.  

You may have heard of Carl Jung.  He was a Swiss psychiatrist and he coined the term archetype.  This word comes from the Greek words of archein and typos. Archein meaning something old or ancient and it represents the original, creative source.  For some, that may be God, Goddess, the Universe, the Divine, etc.  For our purposes here we will more often than not refer to it as Source or Creative Source. Typos is the expression or manifestation of the Creative Source as it is the model of behavioral patterns.

Mother is considered to be a model for nurturing and compassionate behavior.  Father represents authority, a firm hand and power. Hopefully, this is giving you a little better idea of what an archetype is.  We will share a couple more with you just in case.  The romantic typically enjoys elegance, lavishness, love and is passionate.  The joker is a trickster and regularly deceives others, makes jokes, is frivolous and likes to live life now.

Each archetype has tendencies to behave in certain ways.  They are the energy patterns of one's personality.  Yet, often times these inner truths, these inner personalities are hidden so deep within that you may not be aware of them.  In fact, depending on your personal environment, work environment, family upbringing, cultural beliefs, and societal beliefs you may resist one or more of these unconscious aspects of your self.  This unconscious self is your authentic self or your core essence.

Now, I realize this may not seem fair because we are not going to tell you whether or not the dolphin could be your sexual power animal archetype™ today.  But, guess what?  When we release the Sexual Power Animal Archetypes™ you could be one of the first to know!  Drop your name + email in the box!

Need Time To Meditate? Take A Potty Break

Check out this book called Toilet Yoga and maybe you can add this in too.  

Okay, we all know that meditation is good for us.  Many of us however complain that we don't have time to sit in silence long enough to meditate.  You complain about the kids interrupting or your spouse asking you questions, etc.   This got me thinking the other day.  The one place that most people can have a few minutes to themselves is usually in the bathroom.  So, why not start meditating in the bathroom?  You could do it while you are taking care of business or you could fake having to go to the bathroom so you can find that time to meditate.  Sounds like a good idea to me.  Don't flush this away until you try it.  The powers that be do not judge where you meditate.

Keep Business Out of Your Bedroom? NO!

ARGH!  I just came across an article about partners in life and in business.  It offers pros and cons of being a couple and having a business together.  Sadly, some of their tips are WAY off!  Mind you there are some good tips such as discovering one another's strengths and implementing those in certain aspects of your business, create your own schedule so that you can spend romantic time together, and divide your responsibilities in a way that works for the two you.

However, the tips that they tell you to follow such as leave intimacy at home and keeping business outside the bedroom are so far off base we cannot even began to tell you in this brief article.  

Couples who work with us quickly come to learn the humongous benefits to maintaining their intimacy at work.  Now, this doesn't mean have sex in your office or grope one another in front of customer, clients or employees.  Geesh - have some couth.  (*Of course, depending on where your office(s) is you may be able to enjoy a sexy + playful time there - it just depends and you should use discretion.)  This is about using your emotional + mental intimacy to fluidly work together, trust each other, respect each other, know when to let your partner lead and when you should take the lead.  Working intimately means creating a sacred and safe environment to work in your business as well as in your romantic relationship.

Are you wondering about the "keeping the business out of the bedroom" tip we are telling you is wrong?  Well, when you learn sacred lovemaking and then learn how to take that to the higher level of transcendent lovemaking you can use it to honor your business, create innovative ideas, magically attract more money (clients + customers + unique surprising ways) into your company and a lot more.  One example of an off-the-wall attraction of money happened in 2009 for us (We have had these types of unique ways happen more times than we can recall - but we will share this fun example that popped up from our memory.).  We had set an intention, performed a ceremony and practiced transcendent lovemaking.  A few days later a woman showed up at our bowling center (Yes - we owned one for a number of years!) and gave Rob $1250 that she had one a few weeks prior while at casino.  She felt compelled to donate it to us and our center.  This was 2009 - remember?  So, the economy was on a huge downswing and after having many lucrative years in business, we were facing dire financial straits at the center.  This wonderful woman did NOT know of our financial troubles - no one did at that time.  Anyhow, this was the exact amount we needed to pay a specific bill that week!  ;)  Had we left our "business out of our bedroom" we wouldn't have had the money to pay that bill.  

We have seen this happen time and time again for us + for the couples we have taught to implement our methods.  So, seeing people suggest couples should try and completely separate their business from their love lives is...well, I just wanted to yell - "No! No, no no NO!"   

Keeping it Sacred + Sexy,

Janelle + Rob

If you want to learn how to beautifully blend your love life and your business life together with your partner, you should to talk to us.  If so, let's meet over a virtual cup of coffee (or tea) to see if the unique spiritual tools we teach are a good fit for you.  We only offer 6-8 of these complimentary coffee chats each month - so drop an email to janellealexphd@gmail.com with "Coffee Chat" in the subject line to apply for one, and we will get back with you in 24-48 hours.

The Signs Of Love Are Everywhere

Signs of Love in the Air

By Alvin Lim Weiliang

She loves me, She loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not ...
I believe that many people (including me) have this problem sometime in their lives. You like someone, to the extend that you want to get into a serious relationship with him/her. BUT, on the other hand, you are afraid that confessing your love might ruin even the chance of being friends.

Well, worry no more. Because statistics have shown that when someone is romantically attracted to you, they unknowingly give out certain signals. All you need to do is to identify these signals of love!

Body Language and Other Signals That Could Mean Love

Sometimes being able to tell if someone is interested in you is easier than you may think. If you know the signs to look for you can learn if that guy or girl is focusing on you or simply watching the traffic drive by. One of the best things to watch is the person's body language and you can discover if they are interested in you...or just your best friend.

Does their body language exhibit the telltale signs that give their thoughts away? Could this person be in love with you? Look for the signs that say it all. If they are finding you fascinating they will move in closer when they talk with you or walk with you. You will notice that they look at you when they talk and they focus on your face, especially your eyes. They will lean toward you during conversation. They will also unknowingly touch their face, particularly their lips. Women will play with a lock of their hair if a person has piqued her interest.

If a woman has her legs crossed and has one shoe dangling on her toes you have attracted her interest. Women who play with their straws at dinner also find their companions interesting.If a woman has her lips parted or uses her tongue to moisten her lips she is signaling an attraction to her partner. While some people learn to use body language and body signals deliberately, most of these actions occur spontaneously and we do not control them.

Both sexes will reach during conversation to touch the other person's arm or hand. The eyes are a dead giveaway to their thoughts though and that is why prolonged contact occurs between two people who are interested in each other. If the chemistry is there the sparks can fly and the eyes are very aware. Did you realize that pupils will dilate when someone is attracted to another person? This is a great way to know for sure if the person is interested in you, because this is a body response that no one can control.

There are other tell tale signs that can show you that someone loves you. They want to please you and they will find special things to do to show you this. If someone is bringing you flowers, candies or other items it is always flattering and appreciated, but people who really care about you will add unique touches. They may only bring you one flower, but it will be one they picked just for you, or it will be your favorite flower. If they bring you candy, it may be some that they prepared themselves. Whatever gift they bring, no matter how small, will usually have more significance or personal meaning than many of the gifts from other people.

People who are in love think about their loved one often and will send them messages or call them frequently. If the person you are interested in never responds to your calls until days later, you might want to rethink the relationship. Part of being in love means wanting to spend time together and wanting to make sure that the other person is okay. If the person you are interested in is constantly wanting you to lose weight, change your way of dressing, color your hair, and change your group of friends...you might want to rethink the relationship. People in love are willing to overlook flaws and they never try to make you over into their "ideal person".

Looking for Couples to Interview

We have a new project in the works.  We are writing a book for entrepreneurial couples, Inspiring Couples in Business + in Love.  This book will give readers insight into how to succeed as entrepreneurs while maintaining a loving, healthy + sexy relationship.  We will share how learning and implementing transcendent lovemaking + couples' dreamwork + awareness of your archetypes (including your sacred inner money personality) will help you succeed in business and your relationship with little to no more fighting over money or your sex life.

But, really it is so much more than just the simple idea of no more fighting over these things.  In fact, couples, who are entrepreneurs, especially those who own a business together, understand that there are often great challenges by being in love and running a business.

Can a couple really switch gears and be just a romantic couple without constantly talking business?  You bet, but just as the romantic relationship takes work so does the business relationship.  When you try and blend the two together the challenges are multiplied.  But, guess what?  So, are the joys and successes if you have the tools in place.

We have been in business together for 10+ years, as well as owning individual businesses, and we know the ups and the downs, the joys and the sorrows, the high fives and the arguments, and we have learned, developed, and created amazing unique spiritual tools to thrive as a couple + as business partners.

We don't want other entrepreneurial couples to simply survive the journey.  We want them to thrive!
We want YOU to thrive!

At this point, we are still open to including other couples in the book.  We have interviews already occurring, but if you are or if you know of an entrepreneurial couple, who might be willing to be interviewed and included in the book, drop an email to janellealexphd@gmail.com. 

Here's to thriving,
Janelle + Rob
