EVERY MAN Needs to Read This...

When I was a young man, my track record with the opposite sex could only be described by three words... crash and burn.  Here I was, handsome, intelligent, athletic, even nice... everything a woman could want... or so I thought.  I just could not seem to figure it out!!


Sound familiar?  Do any of the following statements describe your life thus far?

• Women don't seem to pay much attention to you
• You're mystified by your wife's / girl friend's behavior
• When you meet attractive women, they continually put you in the "friend" category
• You're a really nice guy, with the best of intentions, and it's getting you nowhere with women
• Attractive women actually scare you
• Your sex life is full of miscommunication or conflict
• You believe that NO ONE has the slightest idea what women want
• If your success with women were a book, it would be thinner than "20th Century Italian War Heroes"

Romantic relationships are incredibly important to almost every human being.  In a very real sense, they complete our own being and are one of the most important factors in our overall happiness (and therefore have a huge impact on our health as well).  Yet SO many men and women fail to get what they're so desperately seeking from their romantic relationships.  


So, obviously, there's a huge screaming need here for some help in building truly RESILIENT man-woman connections.  


I'd like to introduce you to the men and women coaches of the Authentic Man Program or "AMP":


Turn Up Your Speakers and Enjoy the Video!


This video is long, but definitely worth your attention.  For most men, it will be nothing short of "shock and awe", especially the feedback from AMP's female coaches.  


Here at Global Resilience Solutions, we're looking for exactly that - resilience solutions to various areas of your life where you need major help.  And I'm both astounded and pleased to say that AMP has earned our highest recommendation.  We've been evaluating their programs for over a month and they have surpassed all expectations, for reasons I'll get to in a moment.  In fact, AMP is one of the top two programs we've come across so far this year!


Now at first glance, you might think AMP is a "pick-up" program; one of those internet programs that teaches guys the right words to say and ways to behave to pick up girls and (not to put too fine a point on it) to get laid.


However, although AMP will dramatically improving a guy's success with women, it contains NO gimmicks at all.  It's not about manipulating women through clever tricks, but about really connecting with them on a deep level as other human beings and meeting their deeply felt need to encounter a man who is fully present in his heart and his body, embracing his experience and solidly grounded in who he really is.


And that's what AMP is all about - helping you as a man to:

• Understand how women really perceive men in general and YOU in particular
• Get out of your head and into your body
• Connect with, embrace and share your emotional experience
• Reconnect with your natural masculine power, which is what women really want from you 

In a society that has a strong tendency to emasculate men - a by-product of out political correctness that serves neither men nor women - AMP can put you back in touch with who you really are.  And this is why we give it top marks...


It reintegrates mind and body, teaches fundamental body-work to help you do this, and will completely change your understanding of how the sexes really interact.  And because it's such a holistic program, it will improve ALL your relationships; not just those with women.  


And if you're a women who couldn't resist reading this post out of sheer curiosity, and you know your primary relationship is not where you'd like it, then this is worth a look-see for you too!

Building a Resilient Romance

Calling all Couples (and singles who would like to find their soul mates)!

If you're in a committed, long-term romantic relationship or you'd like to be, you'll want to read this very carefully.  It could be one of the most important things you ever read.

Healthy human relationships are one of the indispensable keys to building a resilient and fulfilling life.  And for most human beings the single most important relationship in life is with their spouse.  

Healthy marriages mean healthy homes, healthy kids and a healthy society.  And yet, as we all know, the chances of any marriage lasting for the long haul these days are barely fifty-fifty, if that. Part of the reason is that almost none of us are taught how to create a true romantic relationship, one full of trust, respect, mutual affection and everything that goes with that.  

What most people are unaware of is that this was turned into a science by at least two ancient cultures - the Hindu  and the Taoist - and it's a science that anyone and any couple can learn with just a little dedication.  

Yes, I'm talking about "Tantric Sex" (TS).  Before you stop reading, I'd ask you to bear with me while I explain.  First, most people who've heard of TS buy into one of the many misconceptions out there, such as the idea it's about using gymnastic positions for love-making, or it's a hedonistic search for the ultimate orgasm.  

Nothing could be further from the truth.  The truth about this ancient science is that its real purpose is to introduce you to the spiritual potential of romance and love-making, and to build emotional and spiritual intimacy that not only lasts a life time, but goes far beyond what most people consider humanly possible.

As a Qi Gong expert, I've known about the Taoist versions of this for ages.  With further research, though, I've noticed that most of the Taoist writings about this available today will send you spinning off in the wrong direction.  Fortunately though, there are some excellent resources out there for you, resources that can make a huge difference in your relationships very quickly. 

That's why I'm delighted to inform you that I'll soon be interviewing two of the world's most respected experts in TS, Pala and Al Copeland, on Thursday, August 26 at 9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific.  

Pala and Al are a married couple who have devoted the last decade and a half to helping couples to find a true spiritual connection through their romance, to keep that romance alive and  to elevate their overall health and quality of life in the process.  They've helped thousands of people worldwide and they can help you too.

You'll learn:

1.       The difference between falling in love and creating love.

2.       Why sex fizzles, love fades, and passion dies after couples have been 

together for a long time.

3.       How couples can create love that will thrive for a lifetime together.

4.       What sexual nutrition is and why it is so important.

5.       What Tantra is.

6.       What spiritual sex is

7.       Simple practices any couple can do to re-introduce zest, spark, and 

sizzle into a stale relationship.

Now you may be asking yourself, "Does this stuff really work?"  Well, I can tell you from my personal experience that it is startlingly effective on all levels.  In fact, the only reason I'm bringing up this topic at all is that I believe it's a crime that couples are not taught how to deliberately create the affection, the friendship, and the intimacy that they and every human being crave.  

So whether you're in a committed relationship or you want to be, take note of that date (August 26) and mark it on your calendar.  Feel free to bring your spouse along and to invite anyone else who could benefit from this priceless information.  

 

I'll be sending you further information over the coming weeks, including the call-in details.

The Most Powerful Relationship Question You can Ever Ask

Your boss walks in and starts blaming you for not finishing a particular report "on time", even though she had never made the deadline explicit.  A simple misunderstanding?  Maybe, but if it's part of a pattern of behavior, you've got a bigger problem.

Your organization has a big "townhall" event celebrating the "successes" of the past year.  You sit quietly in the back, knowing from your insider information that many of these so-called successes were actually disasters that have been "respun" for political purposes.  The crowd seems to eat it up, yet you - and no doubt many others - leave with a bad feeling in your gut.

Sound familiar?

Let's face it - in our public lives and sometimes even in our private ones, we're often surrounded by double-speak, by words that fundamentally don't match reality. 

The upshot of all this is more stress for you.  You may even question your own sanity - I certainly did when I got caught up in dealing with my Church's financial scandal and the lies of its senior leadership designed to cover it all up. 

The real question here, though, is how can you protect yourself and maintain your personal resilience when that resilience is under silent but persistent attack by people who are foisting their personal agendas onto you?


The Most Powerful Question to Ask in Any Relationship:

Remember this: the neurotic person, the manipulative person, the dysfunctional organization, the narcissistic personality, all these will project their distorted view of reality onto you and will try to force you to comply.

They will not only have the audacity to call "white" "black" and "black" "white" right in front of your eyes; they'll also insist you do the same.  And the one thing you can never do if you want to maintain your resilience is to compromise your personal integrity by participating in their fiction, whether that fiction is a delusion or a deliberate lie.

Often the distortion of reality these people create is so great that without even noticing it, you lose track of reality yourself and begin to buy into the fiction without noticing.  And it's when you're in danger of losing your bearings that you want to ask yourself the single most powerful relationship question there is:

"What SHOULD this situation look like?" 

To expand on that, you can ask, "If this situation were reflective of all that is good, true and beautiful, what WOULD it look like?" 

Asking the question and answering it - at least in your own mind - will keep you sane.  It will keep you focused on what's real.  It will keep you resilient.  And, it will expose what's going on around you and reveal the agenda behind it.

These mind-bending situations are a lot like living with an alcoholic.  The alcoholic forces you to compensate for their behavior and turns you into an enabler.  He forces you to replace THE truth with his or her truth, and with no regard for the effects that will have on you.

If you want to maintain your resilience - your emotional health and independence - don't go there.  Ask the magic question. 

It's true that asking the question won't necessarily change the external situation.  And if you think for one moment it's going to change the person or people who are distorting reality, guess again!  However, it will protect you from that situation on many levels.

In fact, whenever you're having problems with any relationship or whenever you have to make a decision about maintaining or breaking off any relationship, just use this question.  It will clarify everything for you in minutes.

Don't take my word for it - try it!!

Resilience Tip: Why you need to build your network

One of the most consistent findings in studies of various resilience indicators (such as longevity, health, emotional balance, etc.) is that people with healthy and numerous social relationships are at the top of the range... every time.

Ancient traditions of health maintenance and spiritual life were built on the deep insight that all of us are interconnected with each other and the whole world in ways we're not even consciously aware of.  Quantum physics and the latest experiments in distance healing are beginning to validate this insight.  What's it all mean?


You are a communal being - you're not meant to be alone or isolated!


As our Western society has evolved over the past century, driven by industrialization, urbanization and endless technological change, we've become more and more isolated.  Sometimes it seems that our spouse and kids are all we have, if that!  One of the symptoms of this isolation is the mushrooming of social media - facebook, myspace, twitter and more.  People are desperate to connect with other people.  It's a deep seated existential need we have as human beings.


So what can you do?  If you want to be more resilient, help others to do the same.  Connect with new people.  Reconnect with old friends and family members.  Take some time over the next week to go out for coffee with someone you haven't seen in a while or call them.  Nudge somebody on facebook and remind them you care.  What you give will come back to you many times over.  Resilient people have big networks of other people they care about and people who care about them in return.


You CAN be such a person.  Sharing love is not only easy, it's fun and it's free.  What could be better?

Resilience Tip: Two Kinds of Goals

In any area of your life, you have a choice between two different kinds of goals, of targets to aim for.  

To illustrate this, let's look at fitness:

One kind of goal is the "results" goal - that's when you're aiming at losing X number of pounds / kilograms, fitting into last year's clothes or adding X inches / centimeters to those muscles. 

The second kind is a "performance" goal, when you commit yourself to taking specific actions at specific times over a certain, usually short, period of time.  You might commit to running 5 km twice a week or doing 100 push-ups a day or doing your yoga routine every morning without fail, for instance.  

And remember, in every area of your life you have a choice between these two kinds of goals.  Wisdom is knowing which to select when.  Fortunately, experience will teach you that.

In general, performance goals are the place to start, because if you don't learn to keep your commitments no matter what the obstacles, it's not much use to chase after results goals!  You just won't have what it takes to get there.  That's why every ancient tradition for training people physically and spiritually favored performance goals, knowing that performance automatically brings results.


This is also important because you don't always control the outcome - in relationships, for example, you don't control the other person's perceptions and reactions.  All you can do is act with integrity and let the chips fall where they may.  So in situations like that, a results goal is dangerous, because it makes you responsible for things you don't control - so beware.


So concentrate on your performance goals and the results will almost always follow.  They'll usually follow in the short term and will always follow in the long term.


Do you know YOUR performance goals for the week?  If not, pull out a pen and paper...
