Don’t Listen to Me

Regena pointing

Who hears voices? Do you? Joan of Arc did. But was she a heroine? Or just some misguided 15th century gangsta girl with a dream? Howzabout Cassandra? Whom Apollo granted the gift of prophecy? She saw the future, but she was cursed so that no one would ever believe her. Some of us hire psychics [...]

Do You Bring Out the Worst in Men?

Men's_Night

I have a little gang of close man-friends. Each of these guys is a rare and wonderful pearl of a man, prince of a man, king amongst kings, in his own unique way. I love my man-tribe, for many reasons. Not the least of which is that, when I am between lovers, like now, their [...]

I Hate Myself.

Regena Self-Hatred Gallery

I feel like an idiot. I am such a loser. I hate myself. How many times have you slung one of those phrases at your sweet, unsuspecting self? It gets worse. I am so fat. I am too old. I look like sh*t. I hate my body. How many times have you stood by, while [...]

How Do You Want to Feel?

There are some people in the world I just breathe better around. You know what I mean? I am just grateful knowing that she is out there, doing her grand, gorgeous and generous thing. And I am resting easier in my skin today, because I had a chance to chat with her a few days [...]

Don’t Listen to Me

Who hears voices?
Do you?
Joan of Arc did.
But was she a heroine? Or just some misguided 15th century gangsta girl with a dream?
Howzabout Cassandra? Whom Apollo granted the gift of prophecy? She saw the future, but she was cursed so that no one would ever believe her.
Some of us hire psychics and soothsayers to tell us what our own voices say.
Because we can’t hear them so good on our own.
And what are those voices, anyway? Intuition? The future? Our divinity?
Or plain nonsense?

Then there is you.
And me.
The regular people of the 21st century.
We all have our version of voices, our version of intuition.
But can we believe ourselves when we hear our own voices?
Or not?
How do we benefit from this incredible, uncharted gift?
Is it possible to learn to really, really listen to our intuition—but more than listen, to actually trust it?
Because the raw truth is, the voice we should each trust the most is our own.
If we could only hear it, and connect with it.
Inside of each of us is all the soothsayer we would ever require. We have the ability to intuit exactly what it is we need. We can sense danger, sense adventure, sense goodness, sense opportunity.

And oddly, real intuition does not come from our head.
It is not a thinking thing.
It is a body thing.
In fact, it is not just any body thing—it is a consequence that is specifically a result of the body feminine. That is why it is so easily misunderstood. Especially by the masculine inside us, and outside of us.
If intuition is a specifically feminine attribute, it would make sense that guys don’t exactly understand it, and might feel threatened, and it would make sense that we all start to doubt our own intuitions, as well.
Not to mention that we do not have a lot of good role models to follow.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to go the way of Joan or Cassandra.
We also don’t have an understanding of what intuition is, or how to turn up the volume when we need it.
So let’s clarify.

See, the body woman is designed with 8,000 nerve endings dedicated to pleasure. 8,000. Yup. That is a huge concentration. Kind of like the control panel. The Mainframe. The Source. And that means that your 8,000 nerve ending-ed epicenter uses her ability to feel, spectacularly, to synthesize and integrate information from diverse sources, including the conscious, the unconscious, the cerebral cortex, the hypothalamus, and the peripheral nervous system. And all of that information, wrapped sealed and delivered—instantly—is what we call feminine intuition.
Can you see where I am going here?
The more you feel…is the more you feel.
The more you can surrender to your own 8,000 nerve endings, the more they will speak to you.
If you actually allow yourself to put your key in your own ignition, and take that baby for a ride, explore all her nooks and all her crannies, and let her unfurl to her full feeling potential, the louder you will hear her raw intuitive truth.
Who knew that pleasure was the secret to sharpening your intuitive skills?
But it sure works that way. The more we feel, the more we…feel.
And intuition is not a thought.
It is a feeling.
A feeling that must be cultivated.
A feeling that must be nurtured.
A feeling that is a key ingredient to a happy, healthy, balanced life.
As you know, feeling pain does not amp up your intuitive dial.
It is when you amp up your pleasure that you can really begin to take advantage of the privilege and power of that raw, strong voice inside you that has so much of your deep truth to offer you.

So, what are you going to do to amp up your pleasure today?
How can you pay tribute to your pleasure? To your Source?
What will you do to put your key in your own ignition?
Give me all your deep intuitive thoughts and feelings and responses about this blog, below.
I learn so much from every single post.
And if you learned something from this post, share it with your friends.

With so much love and pleasure,

Why Is Dating So Hard?

There are millions of us out here.  Women who are between lovers, widowed, divorced, or just simply exploring the world of relationship.  Women who are longing for love.  Longing for sex, longing for intimacy.
Such beautiful longings.
And there are millions of men* out here.  Men who love women, men who love sex, men who long for intimacy, men who want to make women happy.
Beautiful, amazing men.
Sounds like it shouldn’t be that complicated.
Should just all work out like a dream, right?
Longing meets Longing and lives happily ever after in the land of fulfillment?

I have a little gang of close man-friends. Each of these guys is a rare and wonderful pearl of a man, prince of a man, king amongst kings, in his own unique way. I love my man-tribe, for many reasons. Not the least of which is that, when I am between lovers, like now, their friendship and attention sources me and sustains me and envelops me.

In a moment of reverie and appreciation yesterday, I shot a quick thank-you text to one guy, because I was wearing a bracelet he had given me a few years before, when we went to Taos together. He called me immediately, and we had a fun talk and made a dinner date. A bit later, I wrote to another guy, telling him I watched a movie he had recommended to me, and how much I enjoyed it. A flurry of e-mails followed, with a plan to get together.
Coincidence?
Maybe… continue reading…

I Hate Myself.

I feel like an idiot.
I am such a loser.
I hate myself.

How many times have you slung one of those phrases at your sweet, unsuspecting self?

It gets worse.

I am so fat.
I am too old.
I look like sh*t.
I hate my body.

How many times have you stood by, while a girlfriend has bombed herself with one of these verbal grenades? And then tossed one in yourself, at yourself, for good measure? continue reading…

You know what I mean?
I am just grateful knowing that she is out there, doing her grand, gorgeous and generous thing.
And I am resting easier in my skin today, because I had a chance to chat with her a few days ago…

I bring you…the trailblazing truthologist herself, Danielle LaPorte. Check out my video interview with her, where we rock and roll on “The Strategy of Desire.” As you know, desire is one of my hot topics, and she brings a fresh approach to it that you may never have considered…

(NOTE: this woman speaks the truth at such a high velocity, that it takes the picture a minute to catch up from time to time…press play and let it rip…)
