We as human beings travelled in small bands for hundreds of thousands of years.
Some of our group during the day went hunting for food. In the shelter of the cave, sitting or lying around the fire we told our stories. Maybe before speech we enacted our stories. The stories we told were of courage, endeavour and of feeling afraid. We bands of humans were brought together in these acts of story telling.
I love storytelling.
Where I live there is a Green Festival. Included in this festival are evenings of traditional storytelling. It is interesting to partake of these intimate events. Today, however, storytelling remains a fringe event. Once, not so long ago, it was something most every one could do. Now, rather than tell our own stories we are left to listen to the stories of others.
Stories come down to us through all times and all cultures. Religion tells the stories of the prophets. Mythology tells the story of the human psyche. Archaeology tells the story of our home, community buildings and much much more.
In the 21st Century the dull and the ignorant will not be given the time to be listened to.
This is true of the increasing underclass. It is interesting to note that people who do not have a voice in our society tattoo or paint their bodies. It is a way of voicing their identity. This is particularly true of young people who fall foul of the law. The system takes away not only their liberty but also their voice.
They become dull and ignorant because they have no purpose. They have not been taught what it is to have a purpose in life. They are forgotten and their lives become a wasteland. Their story is never heard. It is often founded in violence, abuse or mental illness.
It takes courage to listen to the dull and the ignorant. It takes immense patience. Yet it is not fair to listen to the story of others if you are not prepared to tell and live your own story. This is not only the story of your life to date but what your story will become.
Once you focus on what your life will become then in following your vision you allow others to tell their story. You give them permission to speak their truth quietly and clearly. This is one of the greatest permissions you can give. Not only will you allow your story to be heard but by doing so you validate hearing the story of others.
Many of you go through your lives never once remembering what it feels like to have been heard. I have set before people who have thanked me profusely. They have wept. They will say that they feel heard. It is such a wondrous and privileged position to be in when another opens the storybook of their heart.
I have often heard it said
“No wants to hear my story.”
This I have rarely found to be true. Keeping your story to yourself deprives us all. You allow your heart to expand when you tell your story. Telling stories to groups allows the group heart to expand.
Playwrights, filmmakers, writers, poets, storytellers, puppeteers are all telling stories. We all share in this experience when we attend at theatre, opera, folk club or cinema. Imagine a dinner party without people sharing their stories. Gossip is story.
When women engage in storytelling they tell about themselves. Men are more guarded. They tend to tell a story for other motives. They are interested in how such a story will reflect on their status.
Men will tell stories in the form of jokes or about others. Their stories are often about sport or things they own or do. Often the story of their hearts desire is not spoken. If it is then this is only in the intimacy of the bedroom, if at all.
This is another reason why, I think, men are more prone to heart attacks. They do not allow the heart’s story to be told. The flow of heart energy is blocked and arteries harden. This is a physical response to and unspoken emotional dynamic.
Many people want to tell their story but end up never doing so.
A high percentage of you want to write a book. You may not be sure how you are going to do this but it remains a dream. Many of you keep a diary. However, for most of you it is only ever full of fats.
It does not contain your hearts secrets.
Relationship can be on of the greatest joys in living.
Authentic relationship is always a joy. You relate to the other through the stories you tell each other. The deeper the relationships the more emotionally charged are the stories you share. You gauge your level of friendship based on the depth of your telling.
You all want to be known.
You all want to be heard. Your stories about your lives are how you become known and how others become your friends. So many of you have low self esteem. You think your story is not worth telling. You feel unworthy of telling the story of your heart
This is often true of the relationship of son’s to fathers.
In my fathers generation it was the man’s duty to be the breadwinner. The mother stayed at home and looked after the children. Outside of these roles there was no other. I cannot ever say I knew my father and for a long time it left a hole in my soul.
Your family story is one that helps create who you are. Often this story is so horrific that you have to learn to re-create a more functional one. This is often part of the healing process.
In “making your life matter” you need to be prepared to tell your full story warts and all. Society does not encourage you to do this. It is only too happy to fill you up with the stories of others. This is reflected in your modern obsession with talk radio, docusoaps, big brother and all the rest of the stories that you feed off.
Telling your own story is also future based.
It is related to the dreams you have, the fantasies only you know and the flights of imagination you curb. Telling your story is not only about saying the words but feeling the feelings connected to this story.
This is the difference between someone who engages you and someone who simply tells you a series of facts. I get letters from some colleagues who I once knew and it is simply a catalogue of facts. It is like reading a to do list of what they have done. I feel a loss when I read these letters. I do not feel connected to them across the miles.
You feel engaged with the other when they tell you about their feeling experiences. This is what intimacy is. It is a sharing of a feeling relationship.

It seems to be that every time I browse a London mag I find an advert for the most popular club in London, or the newest west end play. The city of London is full of energy, the individuals here are incredible, the disco scene is unbelievable and the stores are buzzing with people spending their income.
When I first arrived in this city, the very first thing I did was go to Bond Street and pick myself up a pair of jeans. The next thing I did was put on my new outfit that I bought and head out to West End to dance till the tiny hours. This cycle of buying clothes and partying seems to be adopted by the majority of twenty to thirty year old men and women.
I am of course amazed at the options that are on offer in the city, I recently went to find a past life regressionist who took me back to a past time; of course I was a rich poet. Very strange but real apparently, and I am constantly curious on how numerous successful Londoners have their very own personal exercise instructor and life management coaches. These people are year after year running all over the place achieving and making stacks of cash, wonder if life coaching will be for me. And lets not forget sexy Soho and all the sexy lingerie shops, you will regularly note an obscene looking sex toy in the windows. The great thing about London is it has the best choice in Sex Toys.
Find a Life Coach in London and make the change today. The amazing thing about London is it has the best Past Life Regression therapist.

When you meet new people for the first time, do you usually like most of the new people that you meet?
Or do you find that you usually dislike new people, unless they can eventually prove after a long time that they deserve your friendship?
Perhaps you have never thought about this before. And you may even wonder if it’s really important. Does it really matter very much if you like most people when you first meet them, or if you decide to like them much later, after you get to know them better?
Your attitude to the new people you encounter will actually have a big impact on the number of friends you make, and the social life you enjoy.
Why? Because the attitude you have when you first meet somebody will affect the way that you treat those people, and the impression you make on them.
When you have the attitude of liking someone you have just met, they will feel pleased to know you and will want to know you better. They will probably sense that you like them, and they will be more inclined to judge you in a kind and positive way.
If you like most of the people you encounter, you will have a far larger group of people in your friendship pool. When you genuinely like other people, they will be much more inclined to like you back.
On the other hand, when you don’t like people when you meet them, they will feel uncomfortable in your presence and will want to avoid you. They may sense that you don’t like them. They may even decide to dislike you in return. Every person that you dislike will automatically be excluded from the pool of people who can become your friends.
When you don’t like the majority of people that you meet, your friendship pool for making friends is much smaller.
If there is one secret to having friends, it’s a simple one, and here it is: Like Other People!
If you dislike almost everyone you meet, how many friends do you think you will make with this attitude? Very few of us want to get closer to a person when we sense that he doesn’t like us.
If you usually operate with a big long mental list of reasons to reject others, you will assume that other people are also deciding to reject you. If you routinely dislike other people because you are looking for their flaws, you won’t believe that others can really like you. When you reject other people for trivial reasons, you will also assume that others will reject you for trivial reasons.
This negative attitude will make you very suspicious when you encounter others, since you will be anticipating rejection from other people at any moment.
Wouldn’t it be easier and more effective to give everyone a break?
When you meet other people, give other people a break, and give yourself a break too.
When you meet people for the first time, start out with the assumption that most people you encounter are nice human beings and worthy of your friendship. You can choose to believe that just about everybody you meet actually likes you, and that you like most other people. People who are very socially confident and have a lot of friends tend to have this attitude.
If this hasn’t been your attitude so far, you can work to change it.
How can you change this?
Whenever you meet someone new, actively look for things to like in that person. Look for their interesting and unique qualities. Suspend your need to judge and analyze others, and simply meet them as ordinary human beings who are struggling and evolving, and making their way through life, just like you. Find things that you like about each person, and let yourself feel that you actually like them.
You will find that when your attitude changes, the world will become a friendlier place, because you have become a friendlier person.

You’ve finally done it - tied the knot, taken the plunge, plighted your troth, joined in holy matrimony. You’re crazy about each other and you celebrate your newly founded state of wedded bliss by jumping into bed together every chance you get. But somewhere in this whirlwind of lust, love and happiness a tiny dissolute voice begins to whisper: “Enjoy it now, ’cause it won’t last forever. Someday the honeymoon will be over. Sooner or later sex with the same person again and again will become monotonous. It’s normal for passion to die.”
Or you may have been married for some time, perhaps for years, and your passion has cooled or disappeared, and you wonder if it can ever be rekindled. Sex once a month, or only three or four times a year, is not enough for you. You love your wife, you don’t want to have an affair, you believe in fidelity, but you don’t know what to do. Or maybe you have already had one or more affairs, but you don’t feel good about it. You may even feel some guilt or shame. But that voice in your head insists, “It can’t be like when we first met. No couple can be passionate all through life. Sex isn’t the only thing that matters. Just loving each other should be enough. Either settle for what you have, stop complaining, or find somebody new.”
Well rise up now and shout to that demon voice “Bullshit!” There aren’t many examples of long, stable relationships which are also intensely passionate, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have one. We are making it happen. We’ve been together 11 years and our sex life is even more intense now than it was at the oh-so-hot beginning. We’re not sexual super studs, just ordinary, everyday people and if we can do it, why can’t you? A good place to start is to understand that sex is not just fucking. What happens once you’re in bed depends a lot on what occurred on your way to it. Erotic love and sexual passion are not things that simply happen to people; you can learn to create them over your lifetime with the same lover. With that in mind here are three keys you can use to keep your married-lover’s bed very hot: time, attention, adventure.
Time
It is common for passion to die in relationships not because a certain amount of time has elapsed, but because the lovers stop working at keeping the passion alive. Falling in love is something that just happens to you. That’s why it is called “falling.” You have no control over it. It is not something you do or are responsible for. This is wonderful (full of wonder) while it lasts, but by its very nature it stops happening to you. At that point you have a choice, look for someone new and experience the passion all over again, mostly based on the newness of the person and the circumstances, or learn how to create love and be responsible for keeping your desire alive throughout a lifetime of intimacy. This takes effort. Fortunately the effort is so richly rewarded with pleasure, excitement, surprise, and delight, that you will wonder why more people don’t do it!
For great loving you’ve got to make time and take time. Making time for each other means having a date, only the two of you, at least once every week. No family, no friends, no business or school buddies. No phone, no fax, no modem, no pager. You set aside several hours when the focus is on you, your mate and your relationship. It’s a time to nurture your love and stoke your passion. It may or may not include sexual activity but it should always be sensual, intimate and fun.
Once per season you take two days and two nights for a private get-away. You don’t have to leave town to do it. You can rent a room at a local hotel, trade apartments with friends, or simply lock yourself in your own home. During these two days and nights you do things that bring you closer together in every possible way - read each other sexy stories, give each other bubble baths, feed each other exotic foods, rub your backs, tell each other how absolutely fabulous you are, make love in every corner of the house - whatever works for the two of you!
Taking time means that while quickies are fun really satisfying sex lasts a lot longer than 15 minutes. Men are like fire and women are like water. Men heat up real fast and can burn out just as quick. Women need a while to reach the boiling point but once they’re at it can keep bubbling merrily away for a long time. You can help your woman start simmering by loving her from the outside in. Begin with caresses, licks, nibbles to fingers, toes, ears, neck then slowly work your way towards her warming center - back, breasts, belly, vagina. Enjoy each moment of the journey, don’t set all your desire on “getting in there”. Smell her scent, feel the softness of her skin, listen to her quickening breath, watch the flush of passion spread across her body. Once you’re at her “honey pot” follow the same sensitive path - outside to in - outer lips, inner lips, clitoris, only when she is wet and wanting it do you slip inside.
If you’re someone who ejaculates fairly quickly after you’ve begun intercourse, learn how to prolong your erection. It will be well worth the effort for both you and your partner. There are simple exercises in breath, muscle control and body movement that you can practice together and have fun while you’re learning. You’ll find great tips in books like: Soul Sex: Tantra for Two by Pala Copeland and Al Link, The Multi-Orgasmic Man by Mantak Chia and Douglas Abrams Arava, How to Make Love All Night by Barbara Keesling, and How to Overcome Premature Ejaculation by Helen Singer Kaplan.
Depending upon the status of your relationship, you may not feel like doing these things. But the status of your relationship will improve dramatically if you try them for a few weeks or months. Much of your original excitement will return. You will get hard at the thought of her. She will get wet at the thought of you. You’ll start to rush home after work to be with each other. You might even have to pull the car over to the side of the road somewhere for an intense roll in the hay.
Attention
Remember when you first fell in love? How your lover seemed to be the only thing on your mind? At any given point in the day you’d wonder where she was, what she was doing, what she was wearing or not, and you couldn’t wait to see her, touch her, love her up. As soon as you were together again she could tell you were excited to be near her. Today and for years to come you can make sure she knows you’re happy to be with her by following a simple suggestion from Dr. Ellen Kriedman, author of dynamic relationship books such as Light His Fire and Light Her Fire. Her strategy? — the 10 Second Kiss. Whenever you’ve been apart from your sweetheart for a considerable amount of time, a day at work for instance, the first thing you do when you see each other is exchange a ten second kiss. This is the very first thing you do, before you check your voice mail, walk the dog, or tune into the sports news. The kiss is full, long and close. A quick kiss tells your spouse you were once in love with them. The ten-second kiss tells her you are passionately in love with her now. It lets her know she is the most important thing to you. You are wild about her and can’t get enough of her. Her kiss tells you the same kinds of things! Plus, passionate kisses on their own without expectation of immediate sexual activity help to keep her boiling point near the surface so that when you are ready for a hot and heavy session she will be too.
One of the biggest complaints women make about men is that all too often their men want sex now without any build-up or attention beforehand. Remember water and fire? So pay attention to her every day. It doesn’t have to be extravagant attention like bouquets of flowers, gifts of jewelry or dinner at The Ritz. Simple things like a phone call to say “I love you”, a note in her lingerie drawer telling her she’s the sexiest woman you know, rubbing her shoulders when she’s tired, a single rose on her pillow will work wonders on her heart. A woman with an open heart is much more inclined to open her legs.
Especially pay attention when you are making love. Notice what heats her up and what cools her down. Which spots on her body are keys to her treasure chest? How does she like to be touched - firmly, lightly, quickly, slowly? When you find a particular touch or action that thrills her, keep doing it. Don’t change until she lets you know, by sounds, words, movements, that she wants a change. A great lover gives her satisfaction through and through. He makes the effort to learn the knowledge and skill that are the language of love.
Adventure
Making love can be an adventure that starts with a jolt of eye contact when you first meet and lasts until your eyes close in death. Be an explorer in the great world of your sexual life. Map the terrain of your bodies, chart the depth of your passion, scale the heights of your intimate connection. Each time you come together meet with fresh eyes and new excitement for the quest because no matter how well you feel you know yourself and your partner there is always something more to discover.
Newness, freshness and surprise are to be found in exploring the depths of your own and your lover’s spiritual being. Sex is one way to do this. You do not need to find a new lover, you only need to find new knowledge and skill about loving, a task much more suited to a lover you are completely comfortable and safe with. The highest sexual experiences are also spiritual experiences. A spiritual sexual experience is a very high energy experience. It is unlikely that you would attain these high-energy states if you are constantly changing partners.
This is because you must learn to relax, trust, let go, surrender, and risk being vulnerable in order to open yourself to this exquisite energy. What we are talking about is beyond pleasure; it is spiritual sexual ecstasy. Moving from one lover to another is more about control, power, conquest, proving something and making your ego feel good. It tends to leave you feeling lonely and isolated and deprived of true love and deep intimacy. You will feel like something is missing, that there must be something more; and there is! Why settle for more quantity with many partners when the real quality in loving is to be found in spiritual sex with a committed relationship over a lifetime of loving?
We all change over time, what we are today may well be different tomorrow. Don’t ever make the mistake of taking your partner for granted! Instead, when you look at your mate, look for the best in her, seek her highest, greatest most glorious aspects, especially when you are about to make love. Look for the Goddess behind her eyes.
Be daring. Undress for each other. Masturbate for each other. What better way to show your partner how you like to be touched and for you to see what brings her to the edge of pleasure and beyond. Self-pleasuring for your lover is an extraordinary way to build trust and it’s very exciting!
Be open to discovering new aspects of your sexuality. Try different positions - woman on top, side to side, head to toe, standing, sitting, rear entry. Stay inside her as you shift from position to position, making a graceful dance with your flowing bodies. Experiment with loving in places you normally mightn’t - on the table, in the shower, on your apartment balcony. Share your fantasies and try some of them. Obviously the fantasies you share would be ones involving each other, not some other person. Always in your experimentation be sure that you both feel safe and that you do not have to do anything you really don’t want to.
Approach lovemaking as an art. Make it a hobby you share! Take courses - erotic massage, tantra, relationship intimacy. Read books — ancient, beautifully illustrated eastern texts, modern how-to manuals, erotic fiction. Watch videos - old Hollywood romances, extended lovemaking techniques, acupressure for lovers. Practice those things you learn about that appeal to you both. Be lighthearted as you do it. Laugh for the joy of having a partner to share your sexual self with. Greatness in any endeavor takes effort, practice, discipline and continuous learning. Sexuality is not any different.
Consider the concept that sex is not just the pleasure of body friction, but is primarily an energy exchange. When orgasm changes from something that is strictly genital into something you experience with your whole body; when you can experience orgasm through your toes or your shoulders as well as through your penis; when you are being wracked with orgasmic waves and can’t tell whose orgasm it is, yours or your partner’s, then you know that sex is not going to become boring anytime soon! This is sexual loving that has reached a high level of mastery. It requires a combination of time, attention and adventure that you and your spouse practice continuously throughout a life-long marriage.

Working in Thailand as a foreigner normally means assuming an English teaching position. While there are well paid English teaching positions in universities like Thammasat or Chulalongkorn, the vast majority of such teaching positions offer little pay.
In fact, don’t expect a high salary for any job requiring skills, teaching or not. It does sound all bad, but actually if you aspire to live in Thailand for an extended period of time, such poorly paid jobs aren’t any trouble because the cost of living is very low in Thailand, the infrastructure is perhaps the best in South East Asia, it’s a safe country, and you can still rise up the career ladder because you can have a great work experience in Thailand.
But there is a hidden dilemma that only presents itself after some time: you’ve been living in Thailand for a few years, you’ve gained great work experience, your pay is low, but then again things are cheap in Thailand so that’s OK. BUT, here’s the rub : You’ve not been able to save much money while you’ve been living in Thailand. The cost of air tickets look ridiculously expensive compared to your salary. The price of things in your home country gets to scare you when you compare your Thai wage slip. This dilemma hits a lot of foreigners in Thailand a year or so after deciding to work there. Lasting future plans can often be put on hold because you don’t have the nest egg of money to put into action any long-term plan like buying a house, getting married, or even buying a car.
So when thinking about living in Thailand, also consider that you will find it incredibly difficult to save meaningful amounts of cash when considering the costs of your home country.
Even so, it’s not all about money is it? You can have a great time in Thailand, perhaps acquire the Thai language, make new friends, go travelling around the country in your freetime, and gain some worthwhile work experience.
So what kind of jobs can you find in Thailand? Looking at jobs-quality.com - a website listing jobs in and around the Bangkok and Chonburi areas of Thailand - they have listed HR job positions, Administration jobs in Thailand, sales executive jobs, safety officer jobs etc. Basically the types of positions you’d find in your home country. While most of these posts may be looking for a Thai speaker, you will still find English-speaking prerequisites within many multinational companies.

Determining help to finance a university education may be difficult and may take time. University scholarships are unlike a student loan in that they are a grant for your education, and therefore, repayment isn’t necessary. While researching methods of funding a academic degree, be conscious that funds are available at very unlikely spots, for example scholarships for southpaw scholars. Lefty Scholarships: — It may seem a little strange to extend a scholarship dependent on a predominant hand, but do consider this: Bill Gates is a lefthander, so is the president of the United States, Barack Obama. Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Paul McCartney and J.F. Kennedy were also left handed. Statistics suggest eleven percent of people are left handed.
