Sex and Happiness

09/02/2024

It’s perfectly normal to wish for 5 minutes of alone time. Feeling angry or frustrated simply means you're human, alive, and experiencing life.

Rather than beating yourself up try sitting with and acknowledging these emotions. Welcome them, observe them, embrace them, and finally 🌬️ release them with an exhale.

These thoughts will dissipate just as quickly as they appear.

The more you practice this, the more natural it will become.

Who says turning 50 means giving up on s*x and happiness?

As we age, our bodies and minds still crave dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins just as much as we did in adolescence. Life does not decline as we get older and aging is not about slowing down.

Nothing can keep you down for long when you have a higher purpose. Every challenge becomes a new pathway to reconnect with your vision. 🌟

Reflect on your passions and what truly drives you. What gives you a reason to wake up and a reason to WANT to wake up every day?

Remember, it may not come to you immediately, and it may not connect with your day job. That’s okay! Your higher purpose is unique to you. It’s about finding YOUR place in the vision, whatever that may be.

It doesn’t have to be grandiose either. You just have to find a way to contribute to something outside of yourself.

I talk so much about having a higher purpose because it's a tool to help you lift yourself out of the circular thoughts and negative self-talk. It's all too easy to get lost in our minds but when you really commit to it, you're no longer plagued by feelings of being aimless or useless.

It stops you from feeling so alone.

Having a higher purpose enriches your life. ✨

Most people define themselves by what they’ve done, who they’ve been, and how others see them. But what if there’s something bigger? What if there's a higher purpose for you, something greater than yourself? 🌟

For some of you, even reading this makes your stomach hurt. It might feel too religious, too self-important, or too intimidating—or even a mixture of all three.

Here’s the truth: embracing your higher purpose is essential. Embracing your higher purpose is not just for your own fulfillment but for the world as well.🌍.

What is your higher purpose? Let me know in the comments below.

Btw… I’m very picky about what I suggest to my amazing community (YOU!)… because I’ve had some BAAAAAD reactions from products designed to “help.” So, when I find something that truly works, I get excited to share it with you!

Since releasing my book on s*x and aging, I've been thinking a lot about the products that can truly enhance your s*x life. One of my absolute favorites is GoLove CBD Naturals Intimate Serum. Now, it’s not technically a l**e, but that’s what it’s used for—and it’s fantastic.

Let’s face it, s*x can feel uncomfortable. Like many of us S*x Educators, Dr. Sadie Allison —the brilliant mind behind this serum —kept hearing from her clients that physical discomfort during s*x was a common obstacle.

Dr. Sadie set out to create something that could make a real difference. Her familiarity with the natural remedy of CBD led her to develop this serum, which we love because it doesn’t get you 😵‍💫 and still maintains the properties of easing tension, promoting relaxation, and reducing inflammation.

This serum is designed to reduce discomfort from painful conditions, relax your muscles, ease anxiety, deeply hydrate, and soothe your skin—bringing comfort exactly where you need it most.

Michael and I use it ourselves, and it’s our favorite product!

Dive into the intimate practice of Latihan for Two, where deep connection and love flourish.

Experience the profound journey of becoming one with your partner and embracing the moment. It's about creating a sacred space, moving naturally, and surrendering completely to the flow of energy between you.

1️⃣ Commit to Time Together. Arrange to meet your partner regularly for extended and uninterrupted periods.
2️⃣ Embrace the Intensity. Understand and accept ahead of time that the energy can get intense, and not always pleasantly so.
3️⃣ Begin with Meditation. "Start by meditating or sitting quietly together. Slow your breathing. (Notice the contrast between your breathing now and when you start making love.)
4️⃣ Create an opening Ritual. Prepare your space and honor each other. Worship your partner and let your partner worship you. Perhaps face each other naked and put flowers at their feet, feed each other pieces of chocolate, or offer each other bits of wine.
5️⃣ Become Divine. Worship brings the energy into focus. Now the man becomes a god and the woman becomes a goddess. Your ‘flawed’ humanity is irrelevant; you are just pure energy. Only in this moment should you begin making love.
6️⃣ Move Naturally. Move only when the impulse to move moves you. Let go of the need and expectation for what impulse moves your partner. Just be present in the now. When thoughts come in, tell them to come back later and sink into your body again and again.
7️⃣ Be in the Moment. Close your eyes and relax. There is nothing to do, nowhere to go You are free to simply be. Move slowly, touching each other’s bodies like a musical instrument. Let go of the mind and just go back to the body.
8️⃣ Surrender Completely. Surrender to whatever is taking place. Feel the energy and let it have its movement. You can be as wild or as gentle as you give yourself permission to be.

Just like a flower, this practice blossoms in the right environment with the attention and care you bring. 🌸

Remember to save this post for later and follow for more posts like these in the future.

S*x energy is life energy, and it runs the world.

Your stance can’t change that—it just is. S*x energy and life energy are synonymous terms. When you see flowers blooming, birds singing, or trees bearing fruit, the phenomenon is s*xual. It's all about pollinating and reproducing.

💫 It’s a s*xual dance. 💫

The quicker you come to peace with this notion and where you fit into this cosmic picture, the more you embrace what Ta**ra is all about.

Holding space for the woman in your life means standing tall and strong in the face of her rage and grief.

You are not required to provide the answers or to yield to her moods.

Help her by staying true to yourself (a Shiva quality), simply holding the space, breathing, and maintaining your own witness.

Share how you hold space for your partner in the comments.

Eventually, you will discover that you can give pleasure to yourself. Take time to actively choose the little things like the color of your lipstick and the earrings you’ll wear today.

Start small, and soon it will become easier to choose the big things. Pause a few times every day and ask, “Is this really what I want?” You might be surprised by the answer.

Remember: Wherever you drop the pebble in, ripples will spread.

This hurts... How I feel in life most of the time...

08/13/2024

Men and women are not from different planets—we’re all living on the same one, navigating this journey of life together. Yet, when it comes to communication, we often feel worlds apart. 🌍

Each of us has a deep, universal need for love, and at the same time, a natural instinct to shield that need. This vulnerability is something we all share, regardless of how strong or independent we may seem.

Even with the best intentions, it’s easy to fall into the same familiar patterns, promising ourselves that THIS time will be different. We vow that THIS relationship will break the cycle 🔄 that we’ll leave behind the arguments and past hurts and that we’ll let go of grudges.

But here’s the truth: men and women often approach intimacy with such different needs and fears that we end up at cross-purposes. Working through these differences isn’t easy—it’s a tall order requiring more than just good intentions.

In my book S*x & Happiness: The Ta***ic Laws of Intimacy, I share practical steps to improve communication gaps and build deeper connections. Learn how to enhance your relationship dynamics and grab a copy for yourself: https://bit.ly/lauriehandlers-books

Set aside at least 30 uninterrupted minutes and create a safe space for yourself to move freely. Put on some ethereal, drift-worthy music that gets you drunk on the melody and stand blindfolded.

There are no prescribed steps– just let the music be your guide. Open up to whatever arises and allow yourself to simply flow. 🌬️

This practice, known as Ta***ic Latihan, helps you embrace the mystery and spontaneity of life. The more you engage in it, the deeper your connection with your inner self and the world around you becomes. Be sure to save this for later and come back to it whenever you're ready.

Witnessing and becoming aware of yourself is the first step to realizing that you are not your mind, body, or emotions. Interrupting your autopilot distances your fictional story from your authentic one. 🌟

Your authenticity manifests and allows true intimacy in your life. When you are open to awareness, you uncover the unintentional patterns running your life. From there, you can choose to act from a place of authenticity rather than a place of patterned responses, allowing true intimacy to manifest in your life. 💞

You can loosen the shackles digging into your wrists and start living free – free from constraints, free from limitations, and free from the imaginary barriers that have been holding you back.
It’s a journey worth traveling on and your first step is to witness.

When your boundaries are crossed, whether by others or by yourself, anger is the first emotion to rise and defend them. Once you become familiar with your boundaries, it becomes easier to assert them.

Anger doesn’t need to be the greeter; you don’t even need to invite it to the party. 🎉 It’s all about knowing and communicating your limits. 🗣️✨

Reptile brain is the primitive part of you that ensures your survival. It doesn’t differentiate between small and big threats, nor real and imaginary ones. Reptile brain wants to win at all costs, using every weapon in its arsenal and hiding the vulnerable side it doesn’t dare show.

It uses your past, your sadness, your failures, your partner’s failures, and even s*x or the rejection of s*x as a weapon.

If you're struggling with communication 🗣️, intimacy 💞, or lingering conflicts ⚔️, and find yourself fueling resentment, resistance, and revenge, reptile brain is the culprit. It destroys happiness and intimacy.

So, what do you do with it? Embrace it, of course. There’s no getting rid of your shadow after all. 🌘

Be sure to join us on August 3rd for a live Extraordinary Lovers Relationship Rescue webinar where we’ll uncover the hidden culprits known to creep into relationships, causing chaos and havoc along the way. Stay tuned for more details!

It's not necessary to die first before you go to heaven or to an afterlife filled with pleasure. It can be done here, on Earth 🌍, in the body 🧘, and during this lifetime ⏳.

Ta**ra is a spiritual practice of acceptance of all that is. Ta**ra’s beauty lies in its ability to rid all notions of “should” within us and just permit us to feel… to be. We can strip ourselves naked of all preconditioned thoughts and cycles running through our minds all while remaining completely clothed.

If you’re ready to experience this transformative journey and embrace the infinite within you, join me at some of my upcoming events. See what we have planned by heading here: https://lauriehandlers.com/extraordinary-lovers-experience

Do you ever feel strain in your relationship, like it’s being pulled apart?

Join Michael and me for an immersive webinar designed to uncover the hidden forces at play in relationships – what we like to call the 3Rs:

✨ Resentment: Discover how resentments eat away at your relationship, quietly taking one bite at a time and dwindling your connection.
✨ Resistance: Understand the ways resistance builds, putting you on either side of a barrier, creating pressure that further separates and drives couples apart.
✨ Revenge: Find out how couples turn resistance and resentment into revenge and plotting against each other, the silent assassin, and the most common ways relationships break down.

In this webinar, we’ll expose why couples fall out of love and share stories of how others have combated these issues. We’ll help you recognize the patterns in your own relationship that you may not even be aware of.

Whether you're struggling with communication, intimacy, or lingering issues, our Extraordinary Lovers Relationship Rescue offers a path to understanding what’s really going on in your relationship behind the scenes.

Don’t wait until it’s too late to transform your relationship and reignite the love and passion you deserve.

🗓️ Stay tuned for the registration link and take the first step towards a more fulfilling partnership!

I was looking at the members of this group and I want to communicate something to all of you. I haven't posted here in a long while.

But I'm moved to communicate now. This page is not about procuring S*x. Don't try to get S*x here!

This page is about love, relationships, intimacy and how S*x is the portal for healing our fear, shame and guilt.

If you are here for any other reason, you will be disappointed. This is educational and inspirational...serious stuff.

This isn't p**n.

So please be advised.
