Feng Shui For Your Love Nest

February 28th 2007 00:04
What began centuries ago in China as a way of interpreting the natural world to create more efficient agricultural systems and even study astronomy to understand the passage of time is an age old institution named Feng Shui. Through the ages feng shui (pronounced Fung Shway) has evolved due to superstition and folklore into a belief system with five distinct components: Wealth, Health, Fame, Career and Love. By understand the basics, we can control these areas of our lives by choosing meaningful symbols and images which are related to these areas and placing these objects in very specific areas of the house.


The key principal here is that everything is connected energetically which means that your thoughts, feelings and behavior are influenced by your surroundings. Feng Shui masters have got this down to an art form. There are so many details and specifics of feng shui that I would highly recommend getting a book on it for your own knowledge and because it is so fascinating. What is interesting enough is that I found it to be very similar to the Wicca beliefs that are practiced in the west. There are many people who swear by the benefits of Feng Shui in the home.

What floats your boat?

February 22nd 2007 00:01
As we start to date, we tend to focus on our ability to attract someone else. We often work to meet the imagined criteria of the potential date. So when you'e setting out to find a date it's pretty important to take a moment and notice what turns you on.

Ask yourself, "What excites me in another person?" If you respond "a nice butt," that's great, but not complete. Chemical reactions are sparked by a combination of body, personality, mind, and spirit. It's how the person relates to you, makes you laugh or inspires you. One of the most exciting opportunities of dating is the chance to experiment with different combinations of these factors. Yes, it's a complex mix. But the more we sort out what we want and don't want, and the closer we get to the winning formula, the more likely we will find it -- and have chemistry!

The Three Stages of Love

February 20th 2007 00:20
To get all scientific about love researchers have discovered that tThere are three phases to falling in love and different hormones are involved at each stage. On a subconscious level, when we are attracted to somebody, it could be because subconsciously we like their genes. Natural instinct plays a big part in what determines what we find attractive and the mechanisms that stimulate feelings of love and attraction.

Flushed cheeks, a racing heart beat and clammy hands are some of the outward signs of being in love. But inside the body there are definite chemical signs that cupid has fired his arrow. However, when it comes to love it seems we are at the mercy of our biochemistry. Helen Fisher is a researcher at Rutgers University in New Jersey. She's proposed that there are three stages to falling in love and each of them has a distinct set of checmical hormonal changes that influence the way we think, behave and feel as we fall in love with someone.

Stuck in a Relationship Rut Part II

February 9th 2007 00:46
Step Two: Resolution

Before you confront your partner about the problems that you see in your relationship, it helps if you can come up with a few ways of solving the problems. That why when you do bring up these issues with your partner you can place the emphasis on the resolution rather than harping on the problems. One important step in coming up with a resolution is finding ways that you and your partner can work together to solve the relationship problems. It shouldn’t be simply a matter of your partner needing to change their habits/attitude/behaviour. If the resolution is simply just about your partner needing to make changes then it would only be natural that your partner would feel like you were placing the blame of the relationship failures completely on them.

Tips for Relationship Rut Resolution

Tips for Relationship Rut Resolution

1. Make sure both of you are in a sound state of mind. Basically don’t be springing up this sort of conversation after a few drinks or right after a stressful day at work. Relationship troubles are a sensitive topic so it pays to make sure that you are both cool, calm, collected and rational.

Stuck in a Relationship Rut Part I

February 7th 2007 00:42
All relationships have their ups and downs. There is no such thing as a perfect relationship, nor is there the completely blissful relationship. Anyone in a relationship will have times when they question whether they want to remain in the relationship. These thoughts might be sparked by a recent argument, revelations about your partner, recent behaviour or just a general shift of feelings. It is quite common for people to question their relationship after the initial spark of meeting someone new subsides. However, questioning a relationship is not necessarily the sounding of the final bell. The most important step is to take some time to really assess the relationship, brainstorm what can be done to revive it and take some decisive steps towards improving the situation.

Do Men Have the Upper Hand in a Relationship?

February 6th 2007 00:41
In general, men seem to be able to emotionally detach themselves from a relationship far more than women. Ok, I know I’m making a sweeping generalization and there may be plenty of guys out there that cry their eyes out into their pillows after a failed one month relationship. Perhaps, there is also an element of men traditionally not expressing their emotions as openly as women. With those disclaimers aside, it still seems like men are less likely to get too emotionally caught up in a blossoming relationship when compared to their partner at the time.

I suppose I witnessed the difference between the development of emotional attachment between men and women most markedly during the earlier stages of a relationship. Women appear to be far more likely to fall head over heels for a guy within the first few weeks (or even just encounters). Men tend to hold out on their emotional investment for longer. They’re more cautious when it comes to commitment.

Help, my boyfriend is a stoner!

February 5th 2007 00:36
Well not my boyfriend, but at a recent house party I was having a drunken heart-to-heart with a random emotionally charged woman who was completely disheartened with the state of affairs about her relationship. The problem… her stoner boyfriend. It was a conversation that had strains of Oprah, Dr Phil and Jerry Springer weave through every word. I really felt like all I could do was be the lending ear as clearly no sense or reason could be talked into this woman. As it was she was completely in love with this man and even his drug induced neglect wasn’t going put a stop to on her heart. Who knows maybe it was the alcohol taking over, but one thing is for sure, this girl was most definitely no longer happy in this relationship but too emotionally committed to leave.

As it turned out they were high school sweethearts and got together during the innocent times of their last year of high school… Jane and Robert… a match made in heaven. Both dabbled in pot and assorted recreational drugs throughout university. In fact it was Robert’s adventurous streak which was so appealing to Jane. During university, he had the pot smoking, bohemian emo appeal. They grew and developed together. Pot lubricated the relationship. It wasn’t like they were complete stoners, but they did enjoy the occasional party spliff together and as Jane said at the time it was all good and harmless fun.

A Romantic Dinner

February 2nd 2007 00:24
At some point in the relationship, inviting your sweetheart over for a romantic dinner for two is sure to buy you some brownie points. Iron Chef or Maggie Two Minute Noodles, it's not as difficult as you may think to pull off a fancy meal. And cooking for your partner is a hell of a lot sexier than going to a restaurant for a meal. The way to your date's heart is through their stomach. Entice their taste buds and show off your soft side.

Valentines Day

February 1st 2007 00:50
Just a reminder... we're into Feburary which means Valentines Day is just around the corner. If you're planning on doing something special for Valentine's Day, now is the time to start booking and preparing to make sure you get those fabulous seats and sweet delights.

Despite all the marketing and commercialism of the modern Valentines Day, it origins come from a true tale dedicated to love. Legend has it this holiday was originally derived from a priest named Valentine in third century Rome. When the emperor decided that single men made better soldiers then married men, he outlawed marriages. Valentine finding this new law unwarranted went against the emperor's orders and married young couples in secret. When he was found out he was immediately put to death on February 14th. In memory of his sacrifice we continue to celebrate our love on the last day of his life.
