Lately there is much division over various topics, it seems the more people think they know what is good for others, the more passive aggressive or outright aggressive attitudes take place masqueraded under the saying “because I care”. Anyone who tells you we are not facing division, hasn’t seen the number or people whose PTSD,…… Continue reading Reflection #11 :Compassion Over Self Righteousness

Assumptions Lead To Wrong Conclusions
This article in some way goes hand in hand with my previous article on “Paranoia…The Silent Epidemic”–for it is based not just on assumptions per se, but on the high level of sociological paranoia currently being faced all over the world. How many of your thoughts about other people, situations or things are due to…… Continue reading Assumptions Lead To Wrong Conclusions

Benefits of Tantric Counseling
Traditional therapy can be an intimidating thing; it should come as not surprise then how much more “terrifying” the idea of Tantric counselling can be; whether by one self or as a couple.

Most people when asked if they are free, they readily answer “yes”, if one then presses the subject with another question “but how do you know you are free?” the traditional response is this “because I can choose to do whatever I want”–Fair enough but what if I decided to provide you with various scenarios…… Continue reading Extremes Lead to Confusion Not Freedom
Shadow: Exploring Our Dark Side
The other day Barry and I were having a conversation about life and people; let’s say he drove while I pretty much monologued; with brief moments of interjection; this worked well as it allowed me time to process my thoughts out loud. The discussion was based on people and human behavior. I was conversing about…… Continue reading Shadow: Exploring Our Dark Side
Nymphomania & Satyriasis: A Psychological and Tantric Perspective
Nymphomania and Satyriasis are sex addictions; “incontrollable desires”– the first term refers to women, while the second applies to men.
