"Sex, alone, is a mighty urge to action, but its forces are like a cyclone – they are often uncontrollable. When the emotion of love begins to mix itself with the emotion of sex, the result is calmness of purpose, poise, accuracy of judgment, and balance. — Napoleon Hill, "Think and Grow Rich"
What are you scared of?
For each of us the shame and guilt that trap us in fear is different. I am not sure what your's is.
What I do know is:
The only things I've regretted in my life have been when I didn't risk.
The work you'll do around love and sexual intimacy is some of the most powerful, profound, liberating, healing work you'll EVER do. We live in a world where we have learned to deal with our sexuality from the standpoint of an overdrawn bank account. Always looking at what's not there. What we don't have or cannot be. What we cannot do and what we really need to stay away from. But is any of this empowering? Does it come from love or fear? I believe that our sexuality is a hidden powerhouse of creative energy, empowered thinking, acting and loving. I believe that through our sexuality we can heal ourselves and this world of the toxic waste that covers so many people.
Learning how to turn your friction sex into true lovemaking is where miracles can happen for your life. Napoleon Hill understood this and studied many great leaders, visionaries and world changers who all used this form of sexuality to make a difference in the world as well as following their own bliss.
I won't lie it's the most heart-pounding, terrifying, liberating, soul-enriching learning.
But it's so worth it! Just as you are!!!
Embracing this source of love, of intimate connection will change your life like nothing else. There is no amount of text book knowledge, religious study, googling, or any other item of the mind that will transform your life, your heart, your personal power as quickly and deeply as experience. After all that is a primary reason behind life. To experience!
To get there though, you have to say "Yes."
If you want a phenomenal life then you have to push past your fears and allow for the unknown to make itself known.
The best decisions of my life have come out of my leaping into the unknown. It is that butterfly feeling, the feeling of being on the raggedy edge of life's track. It is the feeling of being scared shitless that tells you that your aiming for something grander, some bigger, something so valuable and that it is there waiting for YOU. This is how you know your on the right path to your dreams and desires.
As humans we always want to know the how-to's and the end result, but our dreams, desires and our life are not designed to have a systematical process. When we try and logically set out a road map we loose sight of the journey in the present moment and we miss our bliss.
Bliss and transformation come from being present and allowing our dreams to unfold through us. Similar to all great writers, poets, musicians, artists and even scientists, the creation of greatness did not come from a logical plan but from something more. Greatness flow's through us. This is the creator creating. But we have to be willing to be present, open and trusting to the choreography instead of doubting.
It is YOUR birthright to have a phenomenal life. You are a spark of the great Divine and the Creator wants nothing less then greatness from each breath of your life. But you have to be brave enough to leap into deep intimacy, love and transformational sexuality learning and healing to access this power.
I can help you get what you've said you want out of your relationship and life.
I know this is possible for you.
Let me help you make it happen.
All you have to do is leap.
Right here. Right now.
Life is happening Now! Where are you at?
The Purpose of A Coach- Sex or Other, We Are All The Same.
The 'Inner Game'
"No discussion of coaching would be complete without mention of Timothy Gallwey and his insights into the 'inner game'.
Gallwey's book, The Inner Game of Tennis, revolutionised thinking about coaching. He suggested that the biggest obstacles to success and achieving potential were internal, not external. His insight was that coaches could help individuals to improve their game by distracting them from their inner dialogue and, in particular, the critical voice that said "Not like that! Concentrate on your hands! Angle it differently!".
By distracting that inner voice, the body could take over. It turns out that often the body has a very clear idea of what to do when internal dialogues are suppressed. Gallwey used the example of asking people to focus on the height at which they hit the tennis ball. This activity has no relevance in itself, but the simple act of focusing on it distracted the inner voice and enabled the capable body to take over. The individual relaxed and their tennis improved immediately.
Gallwey's real insight was that this didn't just apply to tennis, but that individuals generally did have the answers to their own problems within themselves.
The essential part of coaching, then, is to help people to learn to silence that inner voice and allow their instincts, or their subconscious, to take over. Sometimes that means distracting it, and sometimes it's about exploring the 'worst case scenario' and removing the fear."
And this folk's is what I do as a Sex & Relationship Coach.
Give Me Your Orgasm- A gift of submission.
I'm a Sex Coach, Not a Sex Worker
As of late, I have been under a bit of scrutiny from several people about my sex coaching business, everywhere from friends to family to other colleagues who all have misconstrued beliefs about what sex coaches do. Honestly, I am not shocked because the truth is that sex coaching is fairly new in mainstream consciousness. If you met ten sex coaches, they would also all have a slightly different way of coaching and different elements that are included in this coaching. Even in my local area, I can think of several sex coaches, and every single one of us approaches coaching in a different manner. Some use more direct talking methods, some incorporate more spiritual practices, some use more straight education, and others are more experiential. This is on top of the fact that sex is still a taboo topic in our society, so it's no wonder that I get both horrified and intrigued looks when I share with others the career I am so passionate about.
There's a vast variety of questions and assumptions that people have when hearing that myself and my fellow colleagues are sex coaches. That being said, the one that comes up the most is, "Are you a prostitute? So you have sex with your clients?"
I do not have sex with my clients. Again, I do not have sex with my clients! And one more time since people struggle to hear this one, I DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH MY CLIENTS! I have zero judgments against individuals who choose to make a living via prostitution. In my life, I have known several women who have been sex workers to survive and, unfortunately, were forced to do so illegally due to our current laws. It makes me very happy to see places like Vegas that are trying to take the oldest career known to man and make it safer for both the client and the sex worker. Sex is a normal and natural pleasure afforded to us as humans that keeps us healthy and vibrant. It's not my place to say if someone needs or desires to pay someone to have these needs met because, honestly, not everyone is lucky enough to have a committed partner. I believe in sex work when done in a safe and consensual manner.
That being said, I am not a prostitute. All the sex coaches I know (and I know quite a few) and I have the policy that they do not have intercourse or perform or receive oral sex from clients. I have written that on my website in several places and tell clients when I first meet them that although I am helping people with sex, this does not mean I am having sex with them. Yet, it is a question I get asked almost weekly. And it is actually one that has provided my colleagues and me with some funny stories.
One day, I was doing an initial Tantric mindfulness session—which includes some meditation, breathing, and Kundalini activation—with a brand new client. My sex coaching practice was somewhat new, and as he felt his sexual energy activate, he opened his eyes, looked right at me, and said, "I've decided that I want to practice having Tantric sex, and you love Tantric sex, and so you're going to have Tantric sex with me next time." I lifted one eyebrow and reminded him of all the different times we had discussed boundaries and how sex is not a part of sex coaching. He became desperate and began gyrating his hips to "show me" how good he would be at this practice. I worked incredibly hard at not bursting into hysterics at that moment, and once I had composed myself, I set some limits with him, and unfortunately, he chose not to have any more sessions with me after that initial session. It is definitely a story that I will always remember and one that has provided me with vital learning lessons—no matter how much I state what I DON'T do, there will always be people that don't want to hear it.
Different practitioners have different boundaries surrounding the level of touch, if any, and also the nature of what happens in sessions. But unless it is specifically stated that we are offering sexual surrogacy, then they most likely are not offering to have sex with their clients. And honestly, even many sex surrogates don't actually have intercourse with clients.
That being said, am I going to try to help stir some sexual energy? Yes! Our sexual energy (Kundalini energy) is what keeps us alive, what you tap into during many yoga practices, and what gives us as humans much of our drive. I view our sexual energy as a major tool in manifesting the lives we want, as the spiritual connection we are looking for, and as a way to take the connection within ourselves and in relationships to a deeper place. However, this energy can be stirred simply by breathing! I, personally, am not just a sex coach but actually first and foremost a Tantric practitioner who utilizes these principles in my practice. This still does not mean I am having sex with my clients!
In our society, and especially in the Bible belt, many practices are shunned without a true and honest understanding. People allow their ignorance to speak first without asking questions. Just like sex coaching is not as it appears, neither is the practice of Tantra, which is not solely about sex but instead about weaving our energy throughout life. The aspects that are sexual are about bringing greater awareness and honor into our sex lives and using this awareness to bring us closer to our spiritual source, ourselves, and our partners. I know having honor and true worship during sex is a foreign concept to many in the Western world, where porn, objectification, and hookup culture are rampant, but this is the true nature of Tantra and what I teach in my sex coaching practice. So I view the use of Tantra as important in not only my sex coaching but also coaching of any kind because, at the end of the day, most humans desire more fulfilling and happier lives.
As a sex coach, I want you to be able to dig deeper into your own feelings, thoughts, and beliefs surrounding sex. I want you to learn to connect with your own body and your partner's body in new and exciting ways. I want you to experience energy in sessions that is orgasmic … but not necessarily have what is typically seen as orgasm/climax in session.
So if I'm not having sex with you, then what am I doing?
I'm holding a space for you to talk about your shame, your desires, your sexual difficulties. I'm helping you reawaken your energy and passion while creating the life you have always dreamed of having. I am educating you on chakras, your genitals, your partner's genitals, breathing, orgasm, and basically anything you can think of in regards to sex. I am helping you feel more into your body and recognize that your sexual energy, when used throughout your life, will provide you with a new level of energy and vitality and the ability to attack your life.
Honestly, yes, there will be dildos, "pussy pillows," lube, and other sex toys for demonstrations, so if this offends you, then I suggest you not come into my office. There will most definitely be words used that may make you blush and conversations that make you squirm a little, and that's okay. I'm not here to have sex with you, but I am here to reintroduce you to your sex.
My work is done mostly with your brain, your heart, and your soul, not your genitals!
Lot's of Cock & Under-fucked
You can ravish your woman so deeply that her surrender breaks your heart into light. – David Deida
Lot's of Cock & Under-fucked
" I feel nothing. I crave feeling you penetrate me deeply at a soul level but I cannot feel you even with my physical body. – Our sex is feelingless. "
I have this statement that I say sometimes about sex. It feels like I am fucking the air- it is empty and without sensation. How is this possible though when two bodies are coming together and physically connecting. Rubbing, stroking, penetrating. How can you hardly feel your partner? If at all?
So many people speak of sex ONLY from the physical level. They make it sound like sex is just sex no matter what the scenario. And for some forms of sex, sex is just sex. It is just a friction based stress release focused on the physical act and the fantasy of seeing or experiencing something that is not everyday. It is not intended or thought to be something that can penetrate your soul, provide deep purpose to ones life, alter your reality even and connect you not only to self and partner but a space where you discover all of life's interconnectedness. This state of orgasm, of sexing is not for the timid or surface minded people of the world who are looking for further distraction and release to/from life's troubles. This sort of sexing and orgasm is only discovered through full surrender and vulnerability. It is an extremely emotional event that can fill us with clarity, creativity, joy, bliss, tears, and heart expanding sensations. It can provide us with direction, a sense of purpose and a certainty that there is so much more that life has to offer and support. This sort of sex is healing. And science supports this.
I believe that women more so than men NEED, truly need this deeper level of connection and sex consistently in their lives. When I look out into the world and "people watch" I can point out an under fucked woman every few minutes and I have to work hard to find a properly fucked woman. Yet if I spoke to women and men alike I would hear tale after tale of the sex that was being had. This is where the misconception comes into play.
You can fuck a woman 3 times a day. Long and hard even and still ONLY be giving her your cock. She will still come out of the experience under-fucked. She may even have had some "real" orgasms. But what she is not having is sex that penetrates her very soul. What you as a man are not having, basking in or giving is sex that penetrates her soul and thus yours as well. As David Deida says, " Penetrate your woman the way you want to penetrate the world." – I share this quote often and what I get is the deer in the head lights look from men and women alike. The concept that a man should fuck a woman the way he wants to fuck the world and in turn be fucked open himself by the world is a hard, scary and intimidating concept to fathom. It requires a masculine that is confident, not cocky. A masculine that can allow himself to be seen and felt fully like the movie Avatar speaks of – " I see you." This is vulnerability. This is masculine surrender. The masculine that can open himself to his woman and know that his purpose in that moment is to not just give her dick and "make her orgasm" but to be carried to heaven through her orgasm and allow for her to take him to realms of pleasure and depth that he cannot take himself. This masculine is sexually mature. This masculine knows that the power of his cock is more than just a sexual sword to slay a woman's sex with. He is not desiring to conquer her or control her but to be opened to her and the universe through their love making, their fucking. In doing this he not only expands his orgasm and self, he also creates a container for her to dance in. To release and be seen fully in her feminine design and orgasm. In this space the two come together and are no longer just having sex, they are gods and goddesses basking in the light of the creator and they are in their full power. Here the two can discover deeper levels of self, the universe, life and they can manifest greatness in all areas of their lives through their beautiful sexing. Here they fuck each other wide open.
So back to the title of this article – Lot's of Cock & Under-fucked.
Ask yourself this, no matter if you are a woman or man, " When was the last time that my sex was something more than a stress release; a duty; or focused on the physical nature of the act? When was the last time I felt so connected to my core, my soul and all of life during sex and orgasm? When was the last time my sex fulfilled me to a point that it carried me through the following week in a state of bliss?
Now answer how much "sex" am I having?
If you are having sex once a week or even twice a month, if it is the gourmet variety I am speaking of than you can be carried through on it for days and weeks. I know this for a fact. If it is of the junk food or fast food variety then you are going to wake up undernourished and hungry for more sex and most likely need your next hit of its chemicals and release to get you through the next day or two. This is where addiction sets in. This is where you are not feeding yourself or your partner well. This is under-fucked, no matter how much sex your having.
There is hope if you are a junk food sex addict.
There is hope if you have not tasted gourmet fucking for some time or ever for that matter.
There is hope for you too to experience the revelation of your deepest being through your sex.
The answers are between your legs, your ears and in your chest. The answers are found in your presence, because your presence is your power and the only sword you ever need to discover this reality.
If your sex is not leading you to your deeper purpose, then it is time to make some changes.

You deserve to be properly fucked.
The universe is craving you!!!!
Wanting, Willing & Taking – Understanding Desire
" A gift unopened is a gift not valued."- KW
" There I lay with my legs spread wide open as I looked my lover in the eye's. He was sweating, heated, passionate. Full of arousal and pleasure. His turn on was fulfilling at a deep level. With every thrust of his cock I could sense that this experience was beyond his anticipation and I was honored that I could gift him with it. As he thrusted himself into another's woman pussy and she was devouring mine I could tell that the sheer act that I would be open to another woman going down on me and to make matters even more divine that she would be eating me out while he was having his way with her doggy style and getting to watch her enjoying me was by far the best Christmas present I could have come up with.
As she gasped for air and moaned from her pleasure and turn on he too became more aroused and leaned deeper into his own pleasure. From my vantage their joy and pleasure were beyond beauty. I found myself caught not in pleasure, not in rapture or orgasm of the physical realms but that of a deep emotional love for this man. In this moment I truly was not body present, if anything I was physically turned off from my own orgasm, but what I had discovered was a sexual giving that could not be touched and a beauty and appreciation for this world and our sex that I did not understand prior.
The adventure moved forward and before long I found myself in a 69 position with this woman and my partner now taking turns fucking her pussy up close and personal not more that a few inches away from eyes and face and then occasionally pulling out of her and thrusting deep into my mouth. Every time he switched from pussy to mouth or vise versa I could see the pulsing energy of his cock expand and he wanted so badly to take all that he could out of this moment. Once again I found myself hearing her moans, feeling her body on top of mine, her breathing changing and her body quivering, her pussy dripping with juices and wanting more but I could not feel her tongue, her lips and fingers as they danced along my vulva and found themselves in me. No, once again I was not able to truly drop down into my body and feel what was happening. But I could feel the high orgasmic energy of my partner and of our playmate. In this instance I found a new arousal yet again, it was a sort of mystery and joy combined in some sexual dance as I watched his cock and balls penetrate and slap up against her and then felt him not just quiver but literally vibrate as he penetrated my mouth. Holding his very hard cock deep in my throat, just past that tight spot I could get little gasps of air as he pulsed and moaned. This, this made me aroused. This activated me some.
Before long I was now on my back, our playmate sitting back sharing how great her view was. My pussy wide open before her and my partner now between my legs now taking me fully while she watched and masturbated to our live lovemaking scene. I could hear her moan, I could smell her in the room. His groans and growls with his ever deepening penetration was a turn on but once again, it was a mental and emotional turn on, it was a deeply intimate affair that made my heart leap with joy but my orgasm was no where to be found physically."
This was a small take away from my first ever threesome with another woman. I had decided that I was going to gift my partner with something that he had always desired. A fantasy of his and I was over joyed that the whole experience was so beautiful. I still hold so much gratitude to the woman that we chose to share this moment with and who helped to deepen our intimacy as a couple. I wanted to gift the man I love with something I knew he had never been given and I was ecstatic that I was a woman who was willing to play in territories that were not always comfortable or about myself. I had not always been this way, my self-doubt, guilt, shame and concepts of giving and receiving had changed tremendously through the years and still do from time to time as I learn about myself and my own needs and desires. However I can say that the ability to share oneself without a need to receive is something that I cherish in myself. I also cherish the fact that I am extremely comfortable stating my boundaries and desires as well as needs in these areas.
As much as I love to give without receiving I also am not afraid to ask for what I desire. I have learned that giving of this nature can only happen when I myself am in a state of fullness and even better if my cup runneth over with orgasmic bliss already, as in these times are when I am not only willing to give and excited about it, but I want to give freely. In such moments I find my orgasm in others. I feel it when they express their joy, their pleasure. I feel my turn on not in the physical but in my heart and I experience a deeper layer of orgasmic living through this. These moments to me are very unsexual. They are playful education that help me remain in a state of acceptance, appreciation and openness.
This is where one's willingness and wanting come together in a perfect dance to share love with someone in a special format that is not often understood by any of the parties in the moment it is happening. This is sharing of the unconditional sort.
Willingness Vs. Wanting
We all think that we understand the difference of these two. It seem's pretty simple. Does it not?
"I am willing to help you move this weekend even though I actually want to just crash and veg on the couch because I am exhausted from the week."
"I want to go to see Doctor Strange but am willing to see Moana instead."
These are simple things to see the act of willingness with. The act of giving to another and not doing exactly what we want in the moment so that another can have pleasure with us, or through us or accomplish something that they might need or want to but would like our help with. This does not make the person receiving self-centered. It does allow them to be selfish though and selfishness is not a bad thing as long as we are willing to be grateful for it, give back when possible and do not ever put another into a situation of harm or trauma.
When we are self-centered we tend to not be concerned about others. In these times we express our desires for what we feel are our needs or wants and we do not stop to think about the cost to others, nor do we care. When we are self-centered we are like a bull in a friends china shop and we disregard everything but what we are focused on. We also typically do not allow for space to occur for someone else to make a decision of how they feel or if they want, are willing or otherwise around whatever we are pushing for.
Let me share a brief story to help clarify self-centeredness in sexing:
A few years back I worked with a couple and the main spiff they had was around anal sex. The man loved anal sex and the woman occasionally liked it but most of the time was not interested as it was not her major turn on and she had even been hurt during it a few times. The husband could not understand why his wife would not always enjoy this practice so he thought that if he insisted on doing it more consistently and "assured her" that she liked it during the process that she would get a clue and start to enjoy it as much as he did.
When I spoke to the husband he always shared his concern that she was not understanding how great this act was or her own pleasure. He was convinced that her complaints were false and that for some reason she was just trying to take away his pleasure. When I spoke with the wife she shared that it hurt horribly and his aggressive nature, lack of asking her if she was wanting or even willing to play like this caused her a lot of stress. She was ready to pull the plug on the marriage if it continued. And she did in the end. The husband was shocked that she would divorce him for asking for what he wanted and it being such a small matter at that.
This couple shares a true tale of one partner being self-centered and ONLY concerned about his own pleasure and gratification. To the point of insisting that his wife did not understand what was happening with her own body and emotions.
That is not selflishness though!
Selfishness is another animal all together. We miss use the word all the time and therefore tend to wrap guilt and shame around something that is actually needed and we should have more of.
Selfishness is when we ask for what we need. Selfishness does not mean that we will always get what we are asking for or that we should, it simply says that we know that we need something and that we know that we need to take care of ourselves. If we need another to help us fulfill this then we need to ask for it but if we can achieve it without another or can look elsewhere then often it is more than okay to do this as long as we remain in openness and integrity.
An example of being selfish would be:
After I had my seventh child I was having a really tough time gaining feeling back in my vaginal walls. It took me almost twice as long as previous postpartums. That did not stop my libido though, but the over tiredness and toddler who slept between my partner and myself plus the newborn did not make for the best of grounds for getting back in the saddle. On top of it when my partner and I had sex I could hardly feel him and could not orgasm. This all started doing a mind fuck on me and I found myself not interested in sex with my partner the way that I wanted to be. I knew that I was depleted of orgasmic energy and all the good hormones that get released and help support our bodies emotionally, mentally and physically when we are full on orgasm. I knew that if I did not get this soon that I would sink into depression even further and my old programs would have a better grip on me than normal. I knew that if I did not take care of myself and frequently that I would loose so much of myself and not be able to give to the world any more. So I took matters into my own hands and got SELFISH!!!!
I masturbated every morning. Being in an open relationship also allowed me to ask for more sex with not just my one partner but to pull in my other partner as well and start working my orgasm out in anyway possible. I asked my partners to go down on me, I asked to use toys, I even created some hot scenes that were playful and shared them and said that I wanted to try them. From someone looking in they may have said, " This woman is a sex addict, she needs help, she is not thinking about anyone but herself." They would have been right about one thing, I needed help, I needed to help myself and be selfish and I needed support from those who loved me.
Wanting, willing and taking. When we fully understand the differences we should be able to see the positive and negative that they all carry with them, just like anything in life.
Sometimes our wanting is so strong that it makes us forget about others. Other times our wanting is an act of sharing or a desire that we hope will be granted or at least heard in love and acceptance so that we can feel closer and more seen.
Our willingness is often based on one of three things:
*Love or care for another
The last two are based in fear and not even acts of selflessness, but acts of victim-hood and an inability to stand up for our own needs and boundaries. The first is based in love and often is unconditional and if it is conditional we are quick to set our terms.
When we speak of taking, it sounds so mean. Like we are stealing something or causing harm to another by taking. This is only sometimes true. Once again look at the motive behind the act. Look at the act itself. And most importantly realize that in any healthy relationship that one can ONLY take what is offered otherwise it is not a healthy relationship to start with. If you are taking without being offered then you need to examine your actions and realize that you are causing trauma. If you take something that is being offered authentically with no ill emotional back lash (i.e. guilt) then you are honoring your relationship and the gift bestowed upon you.
We take forcefully and we also take what we are being gifted. Ask yourself which it is and then choose wisely.
Honor those you love through the act of unconditional sharing and through the art of receiving. Remember that the gifts given that are unconditional are often the most beautiful.
Joy For My Wounds – A Thanksgiving Thought
2016 has been a year of transformation which means a year of chaos, turbulence, perceived suffering and ego drama for many including myself. So many people that I have worked with over the course of this year came to me with visions of desires that they truly wanted and still do but were faced with the healing process of mourning.
Perhaps you are one of these sweet souls who is going through this transition somewhere in your life or in multiple areas of your life. Mourning is something that we typically relate to the death of a loved one and we allow ourselves to feel the pain of loss for them as we figure out how to take the next step in life and move forward. The mourning process often finds us feeling:
- fearful
- overwhelmed
- uncertain
- angry
- emotional
- lost
We recognize these feelings as a state of depression. We know that we cannot change the events and through the process of mourning we tend to focus in on ALL the characteristics, moments and feelings about the thing that we lost that we LOVED, APPRECIATED and wished we still had. In this moment we find ourselves appreciative and upset. Angered at our loss but appreciative that we had been blessed with the moments spent.
So how does this relate to TODAY which happens to be Thanksgiving or the transformation process and all the shit that happens on this path of growth?
Simple, our true growth and transformation comes when we can allow ourselves this same right of mourning even with the programs and shifts that we know we have to make that are holding us back from our true abundance and power.
Why should we mourn or be grateful for these programs, negative events and suffering you may ask?
Because these events, programs and perceived suffering is exactly what we needed to make us strong enough to have the vulnerability, the courage to walk the path of our destiny. It is these very things that teach us about gratitude. Without these events and feeling in our lives we would act like a spoiled Charles born with a silver spoon in our mouth. We would indeed take life and all our blessings for granted. And even with all the trauma that we humans inflict on ourselves as we move through life we still manage to lead a life full of blessings that we constantly take for granted.
No matter how bad it is in any one persons life there is ALWAYS a place for gratitude. No matter how abused, sick, broke, hungry, abandoned, lonely or in pain a person is there ARE BLESSINGS. How can I say this? Obviously I have no clue what I am speaking because I have not walked in the shoes of the homeless man who sleeps on the cold streets of Chicago. I have not been abandoned by my family . I am not suffering with a drug addiction. I am not dying from an incurable illness. I am not living in a sex slave camp. I have not witnessed my whole village and family massacred before my very eyes. Or any other horrible human trial. But still, I write this in complete confidence that no matter what the trail, the pain, the suffering or situation that there is BLESSING and a place for gratitude. If nothing else there is a blessing in the lesson.
The lessons of our soul come in two formats:
Pleasure and Pain.
It is when we discover the blessing in our suffering or wound as I like to say that we actually step foot on our true path. It is in our wounds that we discover our passion, our purpose and our GIFT to the world.
Only through gratitude can we fully embrace our calling.
But just saying that we are thankful is not enough. We must actually touch gratitude with the feeling of it penetrating our core, our heart. We must enter a space where we not only speak our gratitude but act on it. Without committing to gifting the world with our appreciation and moving into the lessons of our wounds we remain closed and shut up. We keep ourselves armored and locked away where we can not relate, feel love or joy.
We prevent ourselves from living a life of abundance. When we hide away from the mourning process which leads us to gratitude we in turn say, " No thanks to the Fuck YES Life! " The life that you experience not just yeah that sounds nice but Fuck YES I want that. Fuck YES I am blessed. Fuck YES this is awesome. Fuck Yes I am in Love! Fuck Yes I am living my dream.
So on this day of Thanksgiving focus on what your blessings are.
Find the hidden blessings and start by praising life for the opportunities that come in those challenges.
"_When we commit to truly being present in the moment, realizing that the past is just a story and the future is still being created, we can find true happiness. When we realize that gratitude can shift any situation in our life from a challenge or a normal day to a day of joy, opportunity, and blessing. Even in the darkest days we can choose to see how that moment can gift us compassion, strength, growth, empathy, and a lesson that, if learned, can transform our reality. Life truly transforms when you start counting your blessings. When you stop focusing on what you do have instead of what you don't. When we focus on what we HAVE we always end up with more things to be grateful for."_ – Joeel and Natalie Rivera
What would you have today based on your appreciation of yesterday?
Make today a true day of gratitude.
Don't just speak it. Feel it and show it!
A Need for Connection
- Is asking for approval needy?
- If this is so then this is why I don't do it as much when I am feeling confident and centered in myself.
- But when I have confidence and don't need approval or opinions from others then is this disconnect?
- So what is the best chosen path: disconnection or looking for connection through approval? How do they each benefit me?
I think your a sex addict… are you though?
So, can sex be a true addiction? I can't tell you how often people not only ask me this question but also how often I'll hear people throw the words "Sex Addict" around.
Lately I have seen several articles and been involved in a few conversations with colleagues about Sex Addiction. In my experience people tend to have strong feelings around this topic.
Some people say that sex addiction is just another way to pathologize people and label them. Others say that sex is like a drug and can be used/abused, can be dangerous, and something to be approached with care. I believe both can be and are true.
I personally have worked in the past with people that have been labeled as sex addicts. Some of these individuals I believe were indeed mislabeled and yet others had created severe damage in their lives in the pursuit of sex. I've listened to stories from my past clients about going broke, ruining relationships, ending up in jail, and ruining their health in order to find sex.
So to me, the question is not if Sex Addiction (or abuse of sex) is real because I have seen the damage in my clients' lives. I think the question is what is and what is not sex addiction!
What is Sex Addiction?
Technically there is no such thing as sex addiction in terms of medical terminology. An addiction of any form is simply a laymen's term for what the medical and psychological community call abuse/dependence. The closest medical term that has been offered for what society considers Sex Addiction is "Hypersexual Disorder" which was not approved for usage in the latest addition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel (DSM 5), which is where all diagnoses of psychological disorders come from. Some also consider withholding sex a form of sex addition ("Sexual Anorexia"), which would fall under the category of Hypo-sexual disorder. Also, medical professionals have been unable to even determine what sex addiction is because it is often used to define any behavior that deviates from societal norms. This includes "excessive" sexual intercourse, masturbation, viewing of pornography, partners, etc.
The National Council on Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity has defined sexual addiction as "engaging in persistent and escalating patterns of sexual behavior acted out despite increasing negative consequences to self and others." Since there is no agreed upon definition of what a sex addiction is, I would like to offer what I use with my clients to determine when someone has entered an unhealthy territory in the way of sexual behaviors.
• Are you able to function in your daily life? (Going to work, taking care of adult responsibilities, taking care of physical health, etc.)
• Are you continuing to engage in behaviors despite intense dangers to your physical health, career, or financial well-being?
• Are you unable to stop the behaviors despite them no longer bringing you pleasure?
If someone says, "Yes," to the above situation, then they very well might be stuck in an addictive cycle with sex, porn, or masturbation. Thankfully there are many wonderful therapists/coaches that work with sex addiction and can help determine what emotional needs are trying to be met through these behaviors.
What Sex Addiction is NOT!
Often Sex Addiction is used as a scapegoat for Cheating, Lying, Jealousy, and Taboo behaviors. As long as the below behaviors are not stopping normal adult functioning, a sex addiction is not:
• Cheating: Just because a partner is enjoying sex with another person(s) does not mean they are addicted. It means that there is a breakdown somewhere in the communication and the relationship. Often women particularly will struggle emotionally with the thought of a partner cheating and so will label that other person a sex addict. I believe people often see it as a more acceptable/ less embarrassing than having to admit their partner cheated OR the person engaging in the infidelity finds it easier than having to manage the repercussions of infidelity. Cheating can cause emotional turmoil on both sides but that does not make it a sex addiction
• Polyamory/Open Relationships: Just because a person chooses a different lifestyle does not make them have an addiction. Often people are under the impression that people in these types of relationships are "sex crazed" and are constantly engaging in dangerous sexual experiences. Research studies have actually shown the exact opposite, that people in these relationships communicate and take more precautions for safety in sex than single/monogamous couples. However, instead of learning about these lifestyles, it is easier to smack a label on a person or think they are just choosing that lifestyle for the sex.
• Pornography: I do not personally like pornography because I think it can push unhealthy standards but a person does not have an addiction just because they enjoy viewing pornography. Viewing porn can be a healthy part of adult sexual experiences. Many couples pursue pornography to add spice into a relationship and many single people use it to meet their basic human needs in a safe and healthy manner.
• Enjoying Sex/Sex-ploration: Many times I will hear people throw the word sex addict out when they hear about a person engaging in more sex then they deem "appropriate." Based on religious beliefs, upbringing, and our society, many people have strong ideals on what is and is not okay. The truth is we have no right to tell others when their desires/needs have been met or to limit them according to our personal ideals of sex. A person could have a new sex partner every night for a year and still not be a sex addict!
• Masturbation: Again, masturbation is a super healthy aspect of human sexuality and does not mean a person is a sex addict. Our bodies are meant to be enjoyed and so we don't get to tell others how often that is okay.
• Taboo Sex: As we expand as a society, more and more people are venturing into new sexual territory. There is a reason why 50 Shades of Grey took the nation by storm! In our ignorance of a sexual preference we often label people as having a "problem." As adults we have the right to explore whatever we like in the privacy of our own bedroom (outside of illegal preferences such as child abuse or animal abuse). Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it an addiction.
Sex Addiction is serious and can very much ruin a person's life. If a person truly has a sex addiction then they do need help to put their lives back together. In true sexual addiction, the person needs to explore the pain and patterns that are keeping them stuck in a destructive cycle. There are some amazing therapy and treatment centers out there to help these individuals. Though beware because there are some other treatment centers that turn this addiction into a moral issue and will try to shame the addiction out of a person or suggest taking on habits such as celibacy. These treatments are not effective and will often just drive the addict deeper into the addiction long-term.
Sex Addiction is not a scapegoat phrase or something to be thrown around in order to express your dislike of a person's sexual behaviors. It's not an excuse for infidelity and not a rationale for someone having a high sexual appetite.

Polyamory vs. Monogamy: What Do You Think?
I know that I have many people that I am working with who are coming to a point in their lives and relationships where having and "Open Relationship" has become appealing to them. But there is much concern as to if it is dangerous or not to have this sort of sexual/intimate relating and the main causes of concern are:
I am not going to address all of this here, as this list of concerns is a whole workshop in it's own. However, I do want to say that I agree with Dan Savage on his comeback and I will state that for the last four years I have been blessed to enjoy a deep loving, authentic relating and sexually open relationship with my two lovers. Both men fulfill me in different aspects. My relationship is unique with each and yet similar.
Last year I opened a channel of communication of allowing each of them to ask me five question's, they could be any question and I agreed to answer 100% authentically no matter how hard it may be to state my truth. My primary partner Scott asked me, " Have you ever considered a primary relationship with B?" – My response and the honest truth was, "Yes." How could I have not? Here is a man I adore and love with my heart, soul and body just as I feel for Scott, I feel for B. Each man pulling to my surface an aspect of myself that without his presence I would not get a chance to explore, heal and love. Each man compliments my internal masculine in a similar but different fashion and allow's me to be stronger in my divine feminine. Each open's me and teaches me how to expand my heart, surrender more fully, and accept more gracefully the lead of the divine masculine.
In all honesty, I cannot, nor do I ever wish to imagine or experience my life without each of these gentlemen in it. Do I need either of them? No. I feel strong enough in myself and my path to say that I make the conscious choice each day to open myself to each of them and dance in life with them. It is not a state of need and therefore jealousy does not play a strong role in my relating. I am not with either of them to try and change them into someone that I believe they should be either. Therefore I am able to step away from much of my ego based issues and just enjoy each of them for who they are in the moment and how they each choose to show up in life with me.
As far as sexually transmitted diseases and open relationship's go, just an FYI that monogamy does not mean security. Many studies have been done in recent years to see if polyamorous people are more likely to catch a sexually transmitted diseases than monogamous people. The stat's were about equal. But how is this possible if one group of people are only sleeping with the same person and the other group has multiple partners?
Well, here is the truth.
Having an open relationship or multiple partners DOES NOT mean that you love less. It means that you LOVE MORE! This sort of relating when done in a mature, proactive, no ego driven or need fashion can be very healing and a great teacher. Is it for everyone? No. But should it be condemned or stated that such a relationship between 3, 4 or even 5 people cannot last long term? No again. Most monogomous relationships end in divorce after years of fighting, suffering and sexless relating. Do these long term relationships seem successful? If you answered yes then you may need to examine what your view of success is and then ask yourself if they are really examples of unconditional love too. Then look at an open relationship such as Dan Savage and his wife, shared below….
Successful? Unconditionally loving?
Dan Savage's devastating reply to Helen Fisher
That New York Times story a couple days ago?The Secrets to an Open Marriage According to Mo'Nique?Which quoted the once-respected anthropologist Helen Fisher saying she just somehow knows these things "never end up working long-term"?
Dan Savage just published a takedown:
Dan Savage in 2013
…[Writer Tammy] La Gorce gets a few quotes from someone who comes across as pretty sane about open marriages — Douglas LaBier, a psychologist and the director of the Center for Progressive Development — but La Gorce pretty much hands the rest of the piece over to someone who has clearly lost her mind: Helen Fisher, author, "biological anthropologist at the Kinsey Institute" (RIP Kinsey Institute), and shill for a dating website, where Fisher has been doing important research on the best strategy for getting a second date (take 'em out for sushi) and what it means when a person uses a lot of emojis (they're horny as fuck).
…Where to start?
With Fisher's insulting claim to know better than Mo'Nique and Hicks about how the Mo'Nique and Hicks really feel about their marriage? (They only think they're happy, those deluded human animals!) With Fisher's yanked-from-her-ass assertions about evolutionary pressures that supposedly endowed all modern humans with genes that allow for just one type of romantic "bond" (only pairs, always sexually exclusive!) and just one successful "mating process" (only pairs, again, and it's all about the kids!)? With Fisher's assertion — offered without any data to back it up — that open marriages "never end up working long-term"?
Let's start with that.
"Just because there is a lack of good data on the longevity of open relationships does not mean that 'they never work out,'" said Dr. Debby Herbenick, a research scientist at Indiana University. "Saying 'they never work out' goes beyond any data she has; I would ask her to prove it. Where are her data? I know of none to support that."
Dr. Herbenick has data that contradicts Fisher's "they never work out" and "all people in non-monogamous couples are secretly miserable" bullshit.
"Similar proportions of men in monogamous and open relationships say they are happy in their relationship and sexually satisfied," said Dr. Herbenick, citing ACTUAL FUCKING DATA from the IU School of Public Health's 2014 National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior. "For women, more women in monogamous relationships say that they are happy in their relationship and sexually satisfied. But that doesn't mean none are happy or satisfied, as plenty are."
…On a personal note/anecdote: my husband and I recently celebrated our 21st anniversary and our marriage has been open for 17 of those years. Hey, maybe Terry and I need Helen Fisher to swing by the house and explain to us how we're really secretly miserable, just like Mo'Nique and Hicks….
Moving on…
Fisher's bizarre theory of brain adjacency: the chunks of our brainz involved in romantic love are located near the chunks of brainz that "orchestrate" thirst and hunger and that's why there's no such thing as a successful open marriage. CASE CLOSED!
That sounded like complete bullshit — and not just to me.
"It is a rather odd claim to say that the reason a phenotypic trait will operate the way it does is because a particular brain region responsible for it is adjacent to other brain regions which do something else," said Dr. Qazi Rahman, King's College London. "That kind of model of brain-behaviour relationships would generate all sorts of very odd predictions which most neuroscientists or neuropsychologists would find strange. But then all behaviour and mental activity is 'in the brain' and so I'm not clear making these sorts of claims does any useful explanatory work for behavioural scientists."
"There is an entire network of the brain involved in romantic love," said Dr. James Pfaus…. [Fisher] doesn't get it. She has never gotten it. Her view of the brain is a neurochemical phrenology."
…"I spoke with Helen at a conference once," a researcher who did not wish to be identified told me in an email. "Helen said there is a single gene that will determine whether a man cheats or not. We carefully explained why this couldn't be so."
Fisher, like so many other hacks in the love-and-relationship racket, wants sex and love and marriage to work in a certain way — they insist it only works this one way — and this monogamist bias informs and distorts Fisher's work.
"I enjoy Helen's stuff, but think she's blind to her cultural bias on this one," said Dr. David Ley. "I'd be interested in whether she truly thinks monogamy 'works' long-term, given divorce and infidelity rates. I think the most damaging piece of Fisher's approach is her generalization of her beliefs to all humans. The valuable thing about modern relationships is the ability to individually negotiate a relationship, based upon each partners' needs, strengths and deficits."…

It's time to say hello to Eric Elbogen—despite the fact that he's been here for awhile.
Ever since he initially moved to New York to form his band Say Hi in 2002—which is mostly a solo project for all intents and purposes—Elbogen has managed to put out six well-regarded solo albums, his stature growing with each and every release. His 2009 album Oohs & Ahhs, for example, managed to get songs featured in everything from Cadillac ads to Showtime television programs. Now, with his seventh disc, Um, Uh Oh, Elbogen's alter ego is poised to break wide open, and the single "Devil" has already been featured in the TV show Gossip Girl, exposing Say Hi to a much larger audience.
Elbogen's unique home-spun sound feels right at home on Barsuk, and his expressive, perfectly imperfect voice might invite more than a few welcome comparisons to that of Arcade Fire's Win Butler. His songwriting abilities are as sharp as ever, and people merely need to hear Um, Uh Oh's album opener "Dots on Maps" to understand what the fuss is all about. Taking time from his busy schedule, Elbogen managed to sit down with PopMatters to answer our famed 20 Questions, revealing how he's still trying to be a badass drummer, why you don't mess with the Stones, and how he wants to be remembered for his terrible jokes . . .

Service extension impractical
We thank Ivan Png for the suggested improvements to Hong Kong International Airport (letter headlined, 'Extend airport shuttle train', South China Morning Post, March 18).
We would like to address the three issues raised by Mr Png: The passenger terminal's internal shuttle train, or automated people mover (APM), is designed to provide high speed transport for passengers between the main hubs within the terminal building, namely the east and west halls.
Given the relatively short distances involved and the high speed at which the APM travels, it would be impractical to extend this service to the southwest and northwest concourses.
Rather than bussing as suggested by Mr Png, travellators have been provided throughout the terminal at the arrivals and departures levels to minimise walking distances. An electric cart service is also available for passengers who desire this service.
The basins in the toilets are placed 900 millimetres from the floor, the accepted international practice. It is assumed that small children using the washrooms will be accompanied by an adult.
Airside trolleys will be provided shortly within the passenger terminal in response to a large number of requests for this service.
We welcome all comments from airport users and are pleased that Mr Png found the airport providing a very good level of services overall.

This is not much, however when you are consistently doing this for months at once, it accumulates. As well as losing weight the healthy and balanced means is the very best option to prevent weight gain in the future.
The reason is that when you work at only getting rid of a small amount of weight each week you're really following an actual diet regimen and an efficient weight reduction program that is made for the "long-term" instead of for short term results.

You simply have to know that it exists and that it will consistently be much better for you compared to adhering to somebody else's option. Individuals who are in shape are virtually constantly individuals that find out how you can do it their means. That is a process means better than any type of 12 week plan, since you reach maintain it forever.
3) Workout for aesthetic impact
The best method indicates not just recognizing the very best method for how you can do it, yet additionally why we do it.
Train for your objectives.
4) Keep the exercises reliable
Lack of time is the most significant reason for not getting in shape, and the greatest reason for getting out of shape. Corresponding matters and also we need a strategy we can stay with.
This is not all about using the same marathon program you may have reviewed in the publication. These programs that ask for a lot time we are never likely to maintain them up from the beginning.
Live, don't surrender your life.

Hello everyone!
Today's "Friday Favorites" post is going to be a bit different. I'm going to weave a couple of my favorite things into a recap from last weekend.
Mother's Day Weekend
I traveled "home" to California last weekend to visit my family for Mother's Day. It was such a wonderful trip full of food, fun, and family and it was the best. I haven't spent Mother's Day with my Mom in 5 years, so it was very special.
When I arrived on Friday night neither my Mom nor I wanted to cook so we headed off to one of my favorite sushi spots in town – Blue Nami!
All I wanted was salmon, avocado, and hamachi, so that's what I got.
The next day we got up early and headed to Squaw Valley in Lake Tahoe to ski for the day. I grew up going skiing with my family every weekend and this year was the first year I hadn't skied with them once all winter. Luckily I still got to ski with them because there's still TONS of snow in the Sierras!
We went with our favorite family friends and we skied hard all day. My brother kicked my butt!
It was special to spend time with my family doing one of our favorite activities. I'm so grateful for my wonderful parents for teaching my brother and I how to ski. There were probably many tough days of dragging whining kids around a mountain. Thankfully they stuck it out and we're able to do almost anything now.
I shared the picture below on my Instagram account and some words about how I feel about skiing. I had this realization while flying down the mountain that the best forms of exercise are those that are more than just movement. Yoga, for example, is much more than simply moving your body into down-dog and child's pose. It's a way of living, moving, and breathing that seep's into all aspects of life.
Skiing is intensely physical while also requiring intense mental focus, problem-solving, and complete fearlessness. Maneuvering down a difficult shoot and then flying out onto a steep but smooth groomed run requires some serious guts and problem-solving skills. I feel like those parts of who I am were developed on the mountain.
Skiing is much more than just exercise.
Another perk of skiing with my family: we know how to lunch.
No over-priced hot lunch for us! We always get lots of envious eyes when we pull out our big lunch bag full of meats, cheeses, dips, fruit, veggies, bread, crackers, shrimp, drinks, etc. It's awesome.
Food just tastes better on the mountain… am I right??
The next day, my mom invited my grandparents over for Mother's Day brunch. We feasted on a spring vegetable egg casserole, teriyaki salmon (my Dad's specialty!), strawberry goat cheese salad, blueberry coffee cake, fruit salad, and my nana's homemade rolls.
It was so delicious! I definitely went bag for seconds and thirds on everything. Yummmm.
Eat this!
Here's the recipe to the spring vegetable egg casserole by Two Peas and Their Pod. I'm planning on making it again this weekend and picking up all of the ingredients at our local farmer's market. Try it!
P.S. How cute is my mom and nana!? I'm so proud to be from lineage of strong and passionate women who go after their dreams and goals. I love these ladies with all of my heart!
My flight wasn't until late Monday night so my mom and I went for a walk (our favorite activity to do together!) and did a little bit of shopping. We passed by a Chick-fil-A on our way to the mall and since neither of us had ever had it before, we thought we'd try it!
I haven't had fast-food in probably 10 years so it was fun to try something different. I went with their Cobb salad and we split their waffle fries. The chicken was good and the fries were SO delicious!
Our server ended up giving us the entire meal for FREE because it was our first time there. How sweet!!
I flew back to Oregon that night and had an all-day Young Professionals Summit the next morning. 3-time Olympic gold-medalist Ashton Eaton and the founder of Barre3 Sadie Lincoln were the keynote speakers. It was highly inspirational and I can't wait to share more about it soon!
Watch this!
Have you heard of Peter and Evynne Hollens?
They're both amazing vocalists with massive followings on YouTube and they live right here in little old Eugene. Peter Hollens JUST this morning released a new video featuring Tony Glausi on trumpet.
And while you're at it go follow Evynne on Instagram. She posts the cutest stories of her and her little boy. I watch all of them. Every. Single. Day. I love them so much.
Check it out and ENJOY!
Have a great weekend! I'll be back soon to share more about what I learned at the Eugene Young Professionals Summit and other great things.
What are your favorite brunch recipes?
Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

Freelance Writers and taking an unexpected day off
Just like many freelance writers, I had every intention of working on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, I got very sick and it was soon obvious that getting any work done was going to be next to impossible. This does not happen to me very often, but I learned once again that you never know what can up and how it will change your schedule.
There is nothing wrong with taking a day off as a freelance writer, even if it is not planned. Just like any other job, you need to be willing to take time off if you are sick. If I would have worked on Christmas Even two things would have happened: 1. I would have worsened my situation and prolonged my illness. 2. My work would have greatly suffered. With both of these details it is easy to see that nobody was going to benefit in the long run.
One of the biggest benefits of being a freelancer is that you can take off when you want and work the schedule that you set, for the most part. Although I had to take time away when I wanted to work, there was no "calling off†or having a boss mad at me. Instead, I will simply catch up this week and all will be good.
Freelance writers get sick too! If something unexpectedly comes up and you need to take a day off, so be it. You may have to work hard in the days to come to get back on track, but this is much better than putting your health at risk while also jeopardizing the quality of your work.Â

Measurement of the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio in an untimed urinary sample is the preferred screening strategy for microalbuminuria in all diabetic patients. This test has the following advantages: it gives a quantitative result that correlates with the 24-hour urine values over a wide range of protein excretion, it is simple to perform and inexpensive, and repeat values can be easily obtained to ascertain that microalbuminuria.
Urine protein to creatinine ratio gives a rough estimate of frank proteinuria as a screening for nephrotic syndrome or any other proteinuric disease.

|This brass belt plate is taken from Major Parkyn's book on belt plates and buttons. He gives no date for it but because of the inclusion of the title WESTMORLAND (no E) it must be after 1782. It has no wreath design like the officer's version but it is very ornate for an enlisted man and may be a sergeant's.

Jurrian writes Seriously, I still fail to understand what the theoretical significance of your use of entropy is, pardon my ignorance. In an era of fairly stable economic growth, there may be a fairly stable dispersion of profit rates, but presumably at times of "system shocks" that would no longer apply. Paul I am open minded on that. I do not yet have an feeling about whether the dispersion of profit rates will be the same during a year with a commercial crisis as in other years. The point though is that it is very hard to construct a dynamic model in which dispersions decline, in which disorder is reduced. In general if one is constructing a computer simulation of a dynamical system and one wants its behaviour to be damped, one has to have something equivalent to viscosity or friction. You need to have laws of motion that are non-conservative. But of course friction is nothing more than a way of taking large scale entropy or disorder and replaceing it with small scale disorder. What is the equivalent in an economy? I am not sure that Marx's use of the term "Bewegungsgesetzen" or "Gesetzmäßigkeiten" has anything specifically to do with Isaac Newton, although Marx does e.g. refer to the natural necessity for human beings to continue producing and consuming as a "natural law". The idea that you could discover the scientific laws or lawlike regularities governing observable phenomena was a stance generally shared by Enlightenment thinkers and humanists. Paul I may be oversimplifying here, but I found Mirowski's arguments on this plausible - that Marx was trying to formulate conservation laws analogous to those of physics. The language seems to indicate a descent from Newton since, as far as I am aware the idea of laws of motion originated with him. Well formulated conservation principles did not become formulated until the early 19th century though. Jurrian The transformation problem raises a general question of what the relationship between labour-values and prices is. The idea is that values "determine" prices in some way, i.e. that they set limits for price movements or regulate them; price fluctuations are, in some way, constrained by value relations. I would agree with this Marx hints at a "conservation law", insofar as he argues e.g. that if a set of newly produced commodities are sold below their value, this must mean that another set of commodities is sold above their value, in the same proportion. But I am not really sure whether this should be interpreted as a theoretical assumption, or as an accurate description of empirical reality. I would think it is more a theorem which is almost impossible to prove empirically for the economy as a whole. Marx does not prove it, but he certainly believes it to be true. I think it should be provable for a barter economy, and thus for one involving gold money. Basically one knows that the amount of labour embodied in goods is fixed prior to the exchange process. Every exchange of two commodities must occur either at par, or with one selling for above its value and one below. Suppose iron contains 1 hour of labour per kilo and flour contains 1 hour of labour per 10 kilos. If I exchange 1 kilo of iron for 20 kilos of flour, I have made a gain of 1 hour of labour and the seller of the flour an exactly equivalent loss of 1 hour. Since every composite set of commodity transactions can be decomposed into such atomic transactions, any partitioning of the set of commodity exchanges will have the same property. Presumably what Marx really aimed at was a demonstration, that the specific ways in which the production of output was reconciled with market demand by the movements of capital, through successive adjustments and approximations, was a law-governed process, consistent with the assumption of the law of value. But I am not convinced that the various solutions of the transformation problem on offer really achieve this demonstration at all. I would agree with that The concept of production prices may not have much explanatory power, if all you want to do, is to prove a strong empirical correlation between labour performed and output price-levels, i.e. prove that price-value deviations are, at least in aggregate, not very great. But if you want to explain the real economic behaviour of investors in competitive conditions, i.e. the "logic" of the dynamics of competition, it may have explanatory power, since in that case differentials between product-values, production prices and market prices can become highly significant (this becomes much clearer e.g. in Marx's treatment of ground rent and surplus-profits). That is just to say, "explanatory power" depends on what you want to explain, i.e. what you think the explanandum is, what the problem is. That was what I believed until I read Zachariahs work. Allin and I had a 50% transformation position. That values were partial transformed to production prices and that the market price vector lay between the production price and the value vector. That seemed to be the case for the UK. Zachariah shows that it is not generally the case. Equilibrium theory is an attempt to explain the relationship between the prices of different kinds of economic goods on the assumption that markets, unimpeded by extraneous factors, will tend towards equilibrium, and then the question is under what conditions market equilibrium can or will be achieved, or fail to be achieved. But I am not at all sure that this was Marx's problematic, nor indeed that you can prove very much about the actual existence of a market equilibrium. Agreed All Marx argues is that, in capitalist society, the production of output is conditional on capital accumulation, and therefore for capitalist society to reproduce itself on a larger and larger scale, it must meet or produce certain basic conditions, namely both the current requirements of capital accumulation and the physical necessities of human survival. And he shows how capitalist activity can produce those conditions. But this does not presume the existence of market equilibrium at any time, it is not a requirement of economic reproduction that market equilibrium exists. All you can really say is that that the system must operate within certain limits, and that if the system does not reproduce certain minimal conditions, it must break down. In fact, of course, Marx implies that in reproducing itself, the system endogenously generates imbalances which, at a certain point, causes a contraction of economic activity, or even a serious breakdown - but this is not a move from equilibrium to disequilibrium, but a move from relatively mild market fluctuations, to very severe market fluctuations.
