Accumulated stress makes your physical body vulnerable to bacteria, viruses, and infections. It also makes us susceptible to mental health issues. To get back into the body and reconnect your energy circuitry, you need to learn pragmatic practices of relaxing and allowing the energy in the situation to move you emotionally or physically.
In long-term relationships, we tend to focus on our partner’s limitations or the restrictions they impose on us rather than helping them heal or break free from them.
Intimate attraction isn’t rational; the desires of our bodies are formed over thousands of years, extending back to our most distant ancestors.
How can you navigate divorce gracefully and with compassion – for yourself and all those affected – so that you’re free from regret and self-recrimination?
There’s a tricky relationship with time that we experience when we are lost in thought or the swirling hyperlinked pages within cyberspace. Time can race, it can slow, and it can stop altogether. But curiously, this experience collapses into the present moment as soon as we experience touch.

As humans, we are easily able to change our minds.
Think about how easy it is to lose your train of thought or forget what you said in conversation only moments earlier. This is because our thoughts are the superficial form of consciousness.
Our thinking patterns, including our core beliefs, are reinforced and sustained by repetition and emotional self-identification.
Going deeper within, our emotions are the next level of consciousness. Our emotions form a bridge between our mind and body; they are somewhat more dense and complex, and we have less control over them than we do our thoughts. Emotions are more complicated to modify because our emotional responses are more challenging to exert conscious power over.
In short, emotions aren't in the mind, and this is what makes them difficult to shift.
There’s a pervasive problem we’re facing in the world right now.
As men, we often feel like we have to do it all ourselves, and alone. The whole world sits on our shoulders.
We think we need to push through life with egoic determination, gritting our teeth and pushing through all the obstacles and challenges that arise.
In doing this we are creating more tension and pain in our bodies. We often bear the resulting physical and emotional scars with pride, as a sign of masculine accomplishment.
Unfortunately, this way of approaching matters is unsustainable. You might be able to maverick through when you’re a bit younger and in peak condition, but eventually, it’s no longer possible and it all comes crashing down.
Authenticity is one of those elusive traits that people strive for, but that many seem unable to reach without stress.
This difficulty in achieving authenticity often comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of what authenticity is; in some ways, it’s a too-broad term that encompasses many other ideas, and it’s difficult to grasp how to become more authentic when the practical embodiment of the word comes from who you already are.
So what is authenticity?
