- We’ve
already experienced what works and doesn’t work for us regarding sex.
And now we know it is about passion, trust and playfulness…and an
expressed intimacy.
- Sex becomes a sacred expression of our body
and our soul. It takes maturity to know the two bring a satisfaction
unsurpassed in being fully expressed and joyful.
- We listen, with pleasure, from a desire to know and satisfy our partner.
- It
is easier to be playful and open to new opportunities. Now, with the
wisdom of life, we are completely and desirably vulnerable to each
other.
- Touching and exploring become the path to a deeper
awareness of each other. Touching nurtures and heals. Exploring opens
gates to sharing new found sensual and sacred intimacy.
- Our
bodies always remember when we were the most sexually expressed. So we
can be 80 and still have the sexual expression of being 40. This is the
time for patience and playfulness.
- As an Elder, we’ve learned how to love loving and we know it is the beautiful dance of life.

who have money—that is, making rich people richer.

Wired to Connect Scientists
who use advanced imaging technology to study brain function report that
the human brain is wired to reward caring, cooperation, and service.
According to this research, merely thinking about another person
experiencing harm triggers the same reaction in our brain as when a
mother sees distress in her baby’s face. Conversely, the act of helping
another triggers the brain’s pleasure center and benefits our health by
boosting our immune system, reducing our heart rate, and preparing us
to approach and soothe. Positive emotions like compassion produce
similar benefits. By contrast, negative emotions suppress our immune
system, increase heart rate, and prepare us to fight or flee.[ Read More]
