Sexual Health Concerns and Statistics
According to recent studies, over 90% of adult women report having concerns about their sexual health. Our sexuality is a major part of our life and can greatly affect our overall physical, mental and emotional health. Unfortunately sexual wellness is an aspect of our health that is largely ignored and avoided, and, as such, very much misunderstood. This is mainly because it can be uncomfortable to discuss, even with a health professional.Sex is a natural part of life. Aside from being the very process of our procreation, sex is an instinctual activity that most adults enjoy on a regular basis. And sex is good for your health – with or without a partner. In addition to raising hormone levels (retaining your youth), sex can also boost metabolism, brain function, heart health and immunity. However, due to diet, lack of physical activity, stress, anxiety, prescribed medications, tiredness and a slew of other inhibitors, many women suffer from various sexual health issues.

Does Your Diet Affect Your Sex Life?
Our diet affects everything; our energy level, body composition, strength, endurance, stamina, mental cognition, body odor, mood, sex drive, sleeping habits and overall vitality. The health and wellbeing of every living creature on earth significantly depends on their diet and the quality of all they consume. When you eat junk and processed foods, your body produces more fat, lowers your energy and even reduces your brain power. If your diet is consistently of low quality; long-term health issues and chronic illnesses can occur, affecting every aspect of your life.Several medical journals state the number one cause of impotence is clogged arteries, which makes perfect sense as proper blood flow is needed for maintaining an erection. The same goes for a woman in being able to experience orgasm, as the vagina and clitoris are more sensitive when they become engorged with blood. Good circulation is essential for an enjoyable sex life, as well as a healthy heart. Couples that indulge in fast-food cheeseburgers and greasy fries on a regular basis may not have as enjoyable sex life and some who eat healthier.

How to Live Before You Die
Life is too short and too precious to waste time being unhappy, resentful or dissatisfied. You are the only one responsible for your own perceptions of the reality that you live in and you are the only one who can change it. Every moment offers a choice of what you think, say and do. We never know when our last day of living may be, so it is important to live life to its fullest and make the most of what you have at this time. But how can we do this when we feel “stuck”?Many people feel trapped in their bodies, in their situations and chosen lifestyles – like they do not have a choice in how they live day to day. Some feel they are a “victim of society” and can’t seem to get out of the rut of dissatisfaction. The truth is; we all have the ability to improve our quality of life and make different choices to feel better physically, mentally, emotionally and soulfully. Our thoughts, beliefs and perceptions of everything we observe constantly shape our unfolding life experience and deeply effect the way we feel about the world around us. Attitude will make or break our success with anything we pursue in life.

If you’re single looking to find the guy of your dreams, or you already have a partner but feel overlooked at times; then listen up for some great tips on enchanting those around you. Seducing a man doesn’t necessarily mean stealing him from someone else, or convincing him to do something he doesn’t want to do. It can simply mean to captivate his attention or desire for you, whether it is a guy you just met or someone you’ve known for years. Get noticed and gain the respect you deserve through the art of sensuous seduction.Image certainly isn’t everything, however you will feel better about yourself and others will feel better around you when you take some pride in your appearance.

There’s no need to cover up your natural beauty with a lot of makeup or mask your alluring pheromones with perfume and products. I believe most men appreciate a more natural looking woman who is comfortable in her own skin without having to hide behind a lot of makeup and bling.

Ancient Archetypes of Mars & Venus
Men and women can be so completely opposite sometimes in how they think, act and communicate. They might as well be from different planets! We’ve all heard the old saying, Women are from Venus. Men are from Mars. Well there is a lot more to that aphorism that dates back several centuries – not suggesting that we come from other planets, rather our universal gender traits stem from ancient archetypes from Greek mythology; the goddess Venus and the god Mars.Actually his name was Ares, god of War in Greek Mythology. His Roman name was Mars, in which the planet was named after since the fourth planet shines with a red color, resembling blood. Ares, god of war, represented brutal force, as he enjoyed the battles and the bloodshed and he didn’t really care about fighting for a good cause – and he wasn’t always the winner. He is characterized as the god who took a savage delight in slaughter, and the hordes of slain upon the battlefield filled him with a fierce joy. Even being rough and aggressive, he was quite handsome and had many love affairs with goddesses or with mortals. Ares most famous love was Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love, (also known as Venus).

Taking some time off from the same old daily grind is an excellent way to recharge your batteries and can greatly improve your wellbeing. By getting some much needed rest and relaxation, you can reduce your stress levels and stay healthier.The proverbial saying, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” – is so true, as without time off from work, we may become bored with life, and also boring to be around. With many employers, it is mandatory to take vacation, as it actually improves productivity and moral. In most European countries it is quite common to take a month off at a time to go on an elaborate holiday, usually touring other countries to visit family and friends.

Defy Maturity ~ Live Life to its Fullest!
Maturity can be a good thing, especially when it comes to fine wine, cheese or ripe, delicious fruit. But as a state of mind, maturity can feel a bit lifeless and boring. We may envision an older “mature woman” who lives a bland, insipid lifestyle clinging to her beloved dog and superficial television shows. Of course there’s nothing wrong with that chosen reality, as it may bring much joy to that type of person who finds peace and security in self-contained mediocrity.On the other hand, immaturity may be regarded as being silly, reckless, foolish – laughing at flatulence, dancing on bubble wrap, or staying up past midnight. “Why can’t you just act your age?” says the uptight ol’ sourpuss who never smiles. Act my age? Why would I want to act my age after just spending $60 on hair coloring to cover my grays? I just barely figured out what I want to BE when I grow up – HAPPY! That’s it. Happiness is the key to staying young at heart and steering clear of becoming a grumpy old curmudgeon.

Herbal Remedies for Better Health & Hormone Balance
Newsflash: Conventional medicine is responsible for 255,000 deaths per year in the United States, and almost half of those are from adverse reactions to prescription drugs. Just because a pharmaceutical drug has been studied in a laboratory, regulated by the FDA and prescribed by a doctor, it does not necessarily mean that it is safe – especially mixing with other Rx drugs.
Of course modern medicine can be safe, effective and has certainly saved millions of lives. However there are so many ways to heal our bodies naturally and with fewer side effects than pharmaceuticals. Since the beginning of humankind, cultures around the world have utilized herbal remedies for various therapeutic purpose. Now known as Phytotherapy, medicinal plants are used to heal and restore balance and wellness within the body — an ancient art that is slowly gaining more respect and interest in the West. Some plants have truly amazing healing properties and certain botanical extracts and blends can help increase energy, improve your mood, reduce anxiety, help you sleep better, and naturally balance hormones to name a few benefits.

How Women Can Change the World
During a Peace Summit in Vancouver last year, the Dalai Lama made a stunning proclamation that “the world will be saved by the Western woman”. His Holiness went on to highlight the reality that awakening women are emerging as the leaders of the global change movement. Women have never before held so much power to shape the future of our planet and the evolution of humanity. At this time a major economic shift is taking place where women now have more influence, money, control and resources to revolutionize how we do business on a global level.According to the New York Times, there are more women controlling more wealth in the US than ever before. We make 85% of the consumer purchases. We can greatly improve the American economy by what we choose to buy – and don’t buy. It is very important to support US companies rather than products made in other countries – mainly to keep the currency within our country, also to reduce costs and pollution from shipping products from overseas. And whenever possible, it is good to support independently owned companies rather than large corporations to sustain your local community first and foremost.

The Profound Power & Pleasure of Female Orgasm
Fueled by pure primal instinct, our sex drive is a compelling physiological desire for copulation. Unlike most female mammals, women can enjoy immense pleasure from sexual activity. Of course a partner is not necessarily needed to achieve sexual satisfaction and orgasm, however it is always more fun to share erotic experiences with someone you care deeply for. Whether you enjoy solo play in stimulating yourself, or you have assistance from an adoring lover, orgasm can be profoundly powerful and extremely gratifying to a woman.Female orgasm is a completely natural function and inherent desire – nothing to be ashamed of or even shy about. Women should talk more about it and teach healthy sexuality to pubescent girls, so they can freely explore their developing bodies without guilt or embarrassment. Men should also be more educated about female orgasm so they can share and help facilitate this truly incredible experience with their partner. As all bodies and personal preferences are unique, it is important for a woman to show her lover what feels good to her, and how best to produce mind-blowing orgasms.

Create More Peace and Beauty… Inside and Out
As women, it is crucial to be surrounded by beauty. It’s also a sign of auspiciousness. Your environment ‘talks’ to you on a daily basis and women are more sensitive to their environments whether they’re conscious of it or not. Therefore, it is mandatory for you to program your environment to tell you the truth about who you are instead of allowing it to repeat negative habits or patterns.We are all a work in progress. And as long as we strive to maintain balance in our body, mind and emotions, as well as within our individual lifestyle and household, we can be open to improvements and measure our progress on a daily basis. It is important to do something every day to nourish ourselves, and also our environment so we don’t feel rundown or overwhelmed. Naturally, your environment either fuels or drains you. In order to feel good, comfortable and at peace, it is imperative to create a space that radiates positivity, organization and supports your goals.
