Exercise - How Important is Your Relationship?
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Saturday, Sep 18, 2010
How important is your relationship? Here are some questions to help you determine the importance of your relationship compared to other aspects of your life. When you become aware of exactly how you spend your time, you might discover that your priorities are different than you thought they were. It is quite common that people spend little time with those things they say matter most to them, and more time on those things they say don’t matter to them. The most important thing in this exercise is that you and your partner become aware of each other’s priorities with regard to ...Read More

The Keys to Heart Freedom
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Thursday, Jul 08, 2010
"Twelve Keys to the Kingdom of Your Heart’s Desire" Thought cannot heal a broken heart, and thinking will never open a heart that is closed. Only feeling can accomplish such miracles. As Blaise Pascal said long ago, “The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of.” The keys to healing and opening your heart can be found not in rationality but in the realms of emotion, energy, and spirit. You enter these mysterious domains through a relationship when you surrender fully to the joys and sorrows of giving and receiving love. In a truly committed relationship you dare ...Read More

Exercise: Life Reflection
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Tuesday, Apr 06, 2010
The purpose of this exercise is to help you learn to become detached from the results of your actions. When you are detached from the results of your actions you can more easily stay completely immersed in the moment, fully enjoying each step along the path you are on. This can dramatically increase the effectiveness of your actions (i.e., you get consistently better results!), the clarity of your thought improves, making decisions is greatly simplified, worry and distress are reduced or eliminated. Step 1: Look back over your life and pick out three examples of success, accomplishment or ...Read More

Heart Opening Eye Gaze Meditation
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Wednesday, Mar 24, 2010
Time: 2 minutes per day, every day you are together. Lovers sit facing each other. For one minute, the first partner sends a look of Love, using only the face and eyes to send the love, but not speaking any words. Later in the day or evening, the other lover sends a look of love in this same way. The partner receiving the look also remains silent. Notes and Comments This can be quite emotionally uncomfortable for some people, but we assure you that it becomes easy. In fact it becomes so profoundly moving, that you will become addicted to this simple exchange of love. This is a situation in ...Read More

The Health Benefits of Sex
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010
Lose weight. Reduce stress. Lower your cholesterol level. Improve your circulation. Live longer. Stay younger. Sounds like an ad for a new wonder drug right? In fact it's a partial list of the benefits of humanity's oldest and most pleasurable pastime - sex. Most of us are aware of the feel-good benefits of sex while we're engaged in it, but do you also know that there are benefits which carry on after the sweaty bodies have dried and the sweet talk has reverted to sports? For instance: Maintaining Ideal Body Weight There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat. For every 3500 calories you burn ...Read More

Tantra, Monogamy and Safe Sex
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Friday, Mar 12, 2010
The concern about safe sex has resulted in a revival of monogamy. But there is no turning back the clock. Sex is out of the closet since the free love days of the sixties. The problem with monogamy has always been boredom. The initial passion drops off pretty rapidly in a typical relationship, but not the lust of sexual desire. Eventually, the right (or wrong) set of circumstances come together and you have infidelity. It's not that people are bad, they are just human. To be human is to be in a body. To be in a body is to be sexual. For men being sexual means they sometimes think with what is  ...Read More

How Good are You Willing to Have it?
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010
Sex is essential in a fulfilling mate relationship, unless you have consciously chosen to have one that is platonic, more akin to friendship than marriage.

And relationship happiness is the surest, quickest, and easiest route through to your personal emotional maturity and spiritual awakening. Sex is good and pleasure is not only good, it’s actually necessary for peak mental and emotional well-being. Sexual fulfillment is good for you ...Read More

Tantra Sacred Loving Step by Step
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Wednesday, Mar 03, 2010
Tantra is a spiritual tradition that originated in India some 4,000 years ago. It is a way of life that celebrates and strives for the union of body, mind, heart and soul. Tantra is a form of yoga. Yoga means union. The ultimate purpose of Tantra is the union of lovers, and ultimately union with the Divine. In the Tantric tradition, sexuality and spirituality are joined. Lovers actually invite God into their bed! Many cultures have a variation of this challenging and delightful practice, the Taoists in China and the Cheyenne in North America. There are differences in these practices, but all ...Read More

10 Steps to Full Enlightenment
By: Al Link and Pala Copeland    Monday, Mar 01, 2010
When one who has been enlightened speaks, there are things he can say with relative certainty--as much certainty as is possible while still in a body in this world. There are other things he can say with considerable authority, but not with certainty. There are also things he would like to be able to say, but they are much more speculative--not without value, but subject to a great deal more disagreement and interpretation of meaning. It is quite helpful if a guru identifies which degree of authority is attached to statements that they make. This is very much more important if the guru is in ...Read More
