Mid-life Crisis. Your Partner Can Be The Best Support.
During Mid-life Crisis, your partner can be the best support. According to the following article in Mail Online. Men are more likely to be affected because according to Tamara Abraham, “Most women treasure the time they spend with their closest girlfriends.” When charged up in positive energy women can help their partner see in a more positive light.
What mid-life crisis? How quality time with the girls makes women more optimistic about their future than men
Most women treasure the time they spend with their closest girlfriends.
And according to new research, it is exactly this that makes women in mid-life far more optimistic about their future than men.
A new study into Americans’ well-being found that 25 per cent of women aged 45 to 55 gave themselves an optimism score of ten out of ten when asked about attitudes to their present and future lives.

Yoga Puppies
Call me old fashion but I don’t just rely on my Iphone to keep up with dates. So I’m starting my search for the perfect calendar for 2012.

What is Tantric Sex?
Have you ever experienced a moment of sexual ecstasy? How did it make you feel? Exhilarated? Luminous? Deeply connected? Intense sexual experiences are one of our greatest sources of pleasure.
At the same time, sex is often regarded with an equal measure of fear and fascination. We may crave sexual intimacy to the core of our being, yet also take great pains to avoid it. We may wish to be touched with all of our heart, yet fear our own vulnerability. We may long to rekindle lost passion, but have forgotten how to light the fire.
The practice of Tantra shows us how to reclaim the sexual intimacy that is our birthright. And through this most ancient of arts, we may discover new joys of the erotic and expand mere moments of sexual ecstasy into a lifetime of sexual bliss. At a time when the stresses, fears and distractions of daily life threaten so many relationships, the age-old practice of Tantra shows us how to open our hearts, our emotions and our sexuality.
What Is Tantra?
Although Tantra has long been practiced in many eastern cultures, it is just beginning to flourish in the United States. Born in India more than 6,000 years ago, Tantra emerged as a rebellion against organized religion, which held that sexuality should be rejected in order to reach enlightenment.
Tantra challenged the acetic beliefs of that time, purporting that sexuality was a doorway to the divine, and that earthly pleasures, such as eating, dancing and creative expression were sacred acts.
The word Tantra means “to manifest, to expand, to show and to weave.” In this context, sex is thought to expand consciousness and to weave together the polarities of male (represented by the Hindu god, Shiva), and female (embodied by the Hindu goddess, Shakti), into a harmonious whole.
Couples need not adopt the Tantric pantheon in order to benefit from the sexual wisdom of this ancient art. Tantric sexual practices teach us to prolong the act of making love and to utilize potent orgasmic energies more effectively.
Tantra is also health enhancing. “Sexual energy is one of our most powerful energies for creating health,” says Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of “Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom.”
“By using sexual energy consciously…we can tap into a true source of youth and vitality.”
How Is Tantric Sex Unique?
In the West, we sometimes view sex as a source of recreation rather than a means of transformation. The goal may be to reach orgasm rather than to pleasure our lover or to connect with him or her more fully.

Todays Work Out is Dedicated to Fat Boy
This total-body circuit-training routine from Joe Dowdell, co-owner of Peak Performance NYC is a little more intense than the previous routines I have posted. But, as the name implies, it can help you quickly tone your entire body effectively. Do each exercise for about one minute and complete the circuit two or three times. That’s an 18-minute work out!
| Squat (15 to 20 reps) |  |
| Lunge (15 reps per side) |  |
| Push-up (10 to 15 reps) |  |
| Bridge (15 to 20 reps) |  |
| Plank pose (hold 30 to 60 seconds) |  |
…And here’s Fat Boy and his story

August 26, Celebrating a Woman’s Right to Vote
This will not be a history lesson. Just a little reminder that The Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which granted full voting rights to women across the United States of America, was adopted on August 26, 1920.
Don’t forget that this is one of the most important events in the history of the US, because it has allowed women to take responsibility and make decisions that affect us directly, such as the right to take control of our sexuality.
Whatever you do to celebrate. Have a Fabulous day!

THE OFFICE WORKOUT
I found the following advice in a British publication. I bet it works here too…
“Thousands of people in the UK have desk-based jobs where a trip to the canteen is the most exercise they get. Now in a new set of guidelines the Government is urging the country’s sedentary workforce to get fit”
Recommendations include standing up to make phone calls, using stairs instead of a lift and walking to a colleague’s desk to discuss work matters rather than sending an email.
Personal trainer Kevin Dobson believes it is possible to tone up without leaving your chair. His desk-based workout doesn’t involve any special kit or clever gadgets. In fact no one will even know you are doing the exercises.
Your brain needs fuel to keep it focused but it’s best to avoid coffee and sweet treats. Instead Kevin recommends low GI fruit snacks such as berries or apples.
The key to a honed office worker physique is doing plenty of isometric contractions
Easy exercises to try at work
Do each exercise 10 times and repeat the sequence three times every day.
The buttock clench
With both feet flat on the floor contract your buttocks, hold for 10 seconds then release.
The hamstring stretcher
With feet flat on the floor contract your hamstrings (the muscle at the back of each thigh). Hold for 10 seconds then release.
Stretch both legs out and contract the quad muscles down the front of the thighs for 10 seconds then release. When you clench, your knee should sink slightly as the legs straighten.
The calf lengthener
Stretch out both legs. Point your toes like a ballet dancer. Slowly move the feet back up until your toes are pointing at the ceiling.
The shoulder stretch
Sit up straight in your chair, relax your neck and shoulders then squeeze your shoulder blades together and hold for 10 seconds.
The chest stretch
Sit up tall, keeping both arms down at the side with palms facing your thighs. Keeping shoulders relaxed, rotate your wrists anti-clockwise so your palms are facing outwards.
The tummy buster
Sit up tall and pull your tummy button in towards your spine. Hold for 10 seconds. Women should contract the pelvic floor muscles at the same time.

15 Things You Didn’t Know About Kissing
There’s more to kissing than most people think. These are collections of facts about kissing. Some are brought by science or show business.
1. Thirty-seven percent of men keep their eyes open while kissing whereas 97 percent of women close theirs.
2. A one minute kiss can burn as many as twenty six calories.
3. Research shows that almost every muscle in the body can be used when two people kiss.
4. It is said that if you kiss a person with the same hair color as you, the result is more passionate.
5. In a lifetime we can expect to receive some 25,000 kisses, ranging from pecks on the cheek to the full-blown weak-at-the-knees variety.
6. Our brains have special neurons which help us to locate another pair of lips in the dark.
7. A kiss can be ten times more effective than morphine in reducing pain, as it’s thought that it activates the body’s natural pain-killers. So when a mother tells her injured child that she’ll kiss it better, that’s exactly what she does.
8. The Ancient Egyptians kissed with their noses. Lips didn’t come into it.
9. The average person spends around fourteen days of their life kissing.
10. The longest kiss lasted for 17 days, 10½ hours in Chicago, 1984. The longest screen kiss between Jane Wyman and Reg Toomey, who smooched for 185 seconds in You’re in the Army Now in 1940.
11. It is still technically illegal in Indiana for a mustached man to “habitually kiss human beings.”
12. In medieval Italy, if a couple were seen kissing, they could be forced to marry.
13. The most famous screen kiss of all time has got to be Between Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind. But in reality, Gable’s false teeth and whisky-laden breath made Leigh shudder with distaste!
14. Kissing acts as a beauty treatment. It makes your eyes shine and your skin glow.
15. Babies who are kissed are often more affectionate in later life.
