Join LiYana's intrepid traipsing through the peaks and crannies of Redefining Monogamy. Wednesday, April 29, 2009. In a recent article (coming out in June) I explored the concepts of lasting sexual spark in long-term relationships, our erotic intelligence and shadow natures, and the link between pain and pleasure. And in the exploration I ran across something I'd heard about before, but never seen covered by mainstream news - orgasmic birth. Our conundrum: shadow aspects can be hot, exciting, intriguing&...

I think about next week, and am saddened and pained by the knowledge that it will not be perfect. I have invited openly and enthusiastically my community to this personal creation, and it is difficult to know I will not have perfection - or the pretense of perfection, or the hope of perfection - to hide behind. She started to dance. It went on for a very long time.

You know those people at the gym that jam out on the elliptical machine like they are in a nightclub, lip-syncing along with their ear phoned-in music, arms flailing and hair tossing, occasionally emitting some high-pitched screechy sounds that resemble singing? I am one of those people. I jam at the gym. I admit it. (That'd me, above, if I were ipod-ized). I call it Love.

He's still the true love of my life. But we did just get a little bundle of love - and fur and claws, and named him Mishka, which we just found out after the fact means "gift of love" in Hindu and "white bear" in Russian. I am totally in love. It's not that easy to get any work done at all! Saturday, June 20, 2009. Grief and loss a...

Tonight my mother asked me to find this poem on google, I believe to read at my father's memorial tomorrow. My sister lost her husband only a few months ago, and so I dedicate this to my own husband-to-be, whom I only hope with all my heart to have as much time as a liftetime with, as my mother and sister had with theirs. Appeared over my crumpled life. At first I understood. Fear hems me in.

Join LiYana's intrepid traipsing through the peaks and crannies of Redefining Monogamy. Saturday, May 30, 2009. I'm a student of sensuality, and am familiar how "taking away" one sense can have the wonderful effect of enhancing the others in our fine five: taste, touch, sight, smell and sound. After an "aumse bouche" - my favorite term in the world for an appetizer before an appetizer, literally meaning, to amuse or tease the mouth, but hey, I'm all for amusing a bush! I have to say, his slip of the toun...

NLP is many things: it is the study of the structure of how human beings create meaning and thus, how lasting change (where you don't have to remember to be different! My friend said something quite interesting. She told me how, for her, sometimes generalized compliments are a weighty thing to bear. For example, if someone says, "You are so nice! It actually can land...

Join LiYana's intrepid traipsing through the peaks and crannies of Redefining Monogamy. Saturday, June 20, 2009. One Thing To Do With Grief. Two questions came from readers lately, that turn my face toward the face of grief and loss:. After one has been in deeply in a love relationship, how do you let go in order to move on. I tend to linger and wallow in the pain of letting go.". Is there anything that extinguishes feminine radiance more quickly than grief? Amaterasu is the sun goddess, associated with ...
