Is there anything really to be healed?
I feel compelled to share from my heart as I have long past knowing that there is anything to be healed.... for to feel such is to say that all is not perfect, when in fact it is.
Yes, perspective is what counts and I honour those who see life as needing to be corrected, yet in truth, when coming from the centre of reality, TRUTH/GOD/DESS/PERFECTION/WHOLENESS, all is as it was in the beginning, world without end. Eternal, immortal, whole, complete and perfect.... yes ONE.
As long as we continue to come from the state of "something needs to be healed, yes even realigned", then we continue to be in separation... incomplete, unhealthy, imperfect...
How can this be when we are created in the image and likeness of the God/dess of all Creation/Source.... this is an impossibility. Change impossible to I'm possible.
We are the creators of our reality.... as such then, we are Source manifest.
What is required is not healing, not even a realignment......but an acknowledgement that we are already living as GOD/DESS ... and as such we are therefore charged with the responsibility to see ourselves as already being who we are and just through a momentary lapse in consciousness we let go of this perception!
So change perspective 180degrees and perception of perfection is the result....
What say You?
agree wholeheartedly...ALL IS PERFECT, EXACTLY AS IT IS...even the most "horrible" news, events, etc. - these are only judgments we have placed on "creative events" of the "Goddess/God/AllThatIs."
the sooner we are able to say "ahhh" and smile with gratitude and love when we hear the most evil/LIVE news, the sooner our world has transformed.
...kiss a child and re-embrace the sweet honey of deep innocence and love without conditions.

ty e...always contributing such love and understanding...
it is al perspective isn't it...or all love, actually.

My personal experience of wolves here in northern New Mexico, and their close brethen, has shown me that this gracious, beautiful soul is so capable of LIVING ONENESS, of showing us an example of ONENESS, that its LIFE, may be the saving of our own.
In light (or in dark) of the recent news that many wolves in this country, who still only number a fraction of their original millions, are now off the Endangered Protection List, I humbly ask for a moment of silence, of meditation, of grace.
May each of us connect with the very bold heart of these majestic animals and grace them in their sacred BEING, in their wondrous LIFE.
So be it.
With loving gratitude, Ani
Oh Ani!
I love wolves, they are one of my totems, though I am primarily a bald eagle, my 'shadow' totem is the grizzly bear.
I have a wonderful 'wolf song' that I will share in the Sound thread. 
I found this article last night and wanted to share it, thought this best fit here. 
Taking Three Tantric Steps Toward Bliss
Shanie Matthews
Imagine feeling completely satisfied with your sexual experiences. Or not feeling rushed because of the kids or work, because the ultimate bliss of an orgasm stays with you for longer than the few seconds after sex. Now imagine that transcending into all others facets of life. It is possible with the practice of Tantra.
Tantra is more than having sex for multiple hours or a man extending the time before ejaculation. It is a practice that helps physical and psychological health, as well as sexual intimacy. It is more about truly loving yourself and allowing that love to flow into the relationship with your partner and beyond.
Dating back as far as 6,000 years, Tantra continues to help people connect with their sexual energy, allowing enlightenment in not only sexual practices but normal life as well. It should not be confused with Kama Sutra, a literal guide to sexual positions. Tantra, instead, is the practice of what feels good to the people involved. Tantra was originally created by yogic masters to learn how to shatter a preoccupation with the ego. As explained by Richard Asimus, a leading Tantric teacher, along with his wife Antoinette, from Cincinnati Ohio, “Tantric yogis discovered the great power (of shattering the ego) is right at the root of every person’s body, in the primal root of sexual energy.” By learning various tools to shift energetic vigor, whether through breathing, meditation or other activities, it shifts the consciousness. Richard compares it to the rising of the sun, “It is like the dawn coming up; of presence, of true aliveness, vitality, an unconditional love.”
Tantra literally means to expand, manifest or interweave. It is a practice of staying in the moment and being complete aware and present at all times. Richard explains it as “not thinking about the texture of a carpet or the way the way the light filters through a window, but instead truly being one with it.” It is a practice of allowing the sexual energy to bring us to an altered state of consciousness. It is a mutual journey and adventure that extends arousal, creating psychological and energetic changes. Patricia Johnson and Mark Michaels, authors of The Essence of Tantric Sexuality and the facilitators of Tantric seminars, have helped many learn to move their lives into a state of felicity. “The vast majority of Tantra practices are not sexual,” explains Patricia, “Most of them are done alone.” She is speaking about the many Tantric meditations that promote truly loving oneself. “You must know the divine in yourself before you are able to find it with others.” One of the first practices involved when taking the steps to unbridled blissfulness is as simple as looking in the mirror. Taking the time to look into the mirror and appreciating thyself is a fundamental foundation of Tantra. The belief that a person cannot love another until he or she loves themselves is one vital belief behind Tantra. It is about connecting on a deep level and being completely aware of yourself and your surroundings. “Sexual energy dwells in all of us; it is the foundation of who we are,” states Mark. With the combination of loving and appreciating oneself, Tantra transcends the energy that is found in the bedroom, extending into all other aspects of life as well.
With that thought in mind, Tantra does not need to be limited to the bedroom. Nor does it need to seem daunting or sexually involved. “Even the act of washing dishes can be an exercise in Tantra,” explains Patricia. Taking the time to fully feel the pleasure of putting your hands in the warm, soapy water allows you to feel the moment and take pleasure in the here and now. Even if the practice is only for a moment, it is still a step toward the ultimate sexual awakening.
Here are three easy moves that can be done anywhere, anytime to help move closer to a feeling of ultimate love and bliss:
Seeing the Space in Between: This meditation practice helps open up the senses and allows the mind to not take anything for granted. Meditating on the spaces between the obvious allows one to open up to the unknown. When this shifts to the bedroom it offers an opening up of the unconscious in to the conscious. It allows the mind to experience more than the apparent.
Pumping Up the Sexual Energy: Kegel exercises deal with the pubococcygeus muscle (or PC muscle). It is the muscle that stretches over the pubic bone, up the tailbone, creating a supportive band for the urethra, vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, other vital internal organs and anus. This exercise is often given to help women control their bladder and heal after pregnancy. But it also supports and opens up the sexual energy of this area. With Kegel exercises the body’s sexual vitality is energized and awoken. The practice includes squeezing the vaginal area while sitting or standing in a relaxed position. It can also be practiced during urination by trying to stop the stream of urine. In the beginning it is important to slowly work up the amount of repetitions, length of contraction and frequency. It is a muscle that can become sore, as with any other muscle, so it is important to not over-exercise the muscular tissue.
These three exercises can be done discreetly and whenever time allows. They are moves that help you become more in touch with yourself and your sexuality. And that is truly what Tantra is all about. Loving and appreciating yourself, so that it transcends the space between you and the one you love.

Acknowledged as one of the most insightful and provocative spiritual teachers of our time, best-selling author David Deida continues to revolutionize the way that men and women grow spiritually and sexually. His teaching and writing on a radically practical spirituality for our time have been hailed as among the most original and authentic contributions to personal and spiritual growth currently available
"In the area of sacred intimacy, David Deida is holding a lightening bolt. He sheds an astonishing light."
—Marianne Williamson, author of A Return to Love
"David Deida is the one western teacher of tantra whose books I read and whom I send students to learn from. The results of true practice, in any tradition, are unmistakable; David Deida demonstrates them."
—Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha Within
“We all taste God, taste Goddess, taste pure Spirit in those moments of sexual rapture, and wise men and women have always used that rapture to reveal Spirit’s innermost secrets. David Deida is such a wise one.”
—Ken Wilber, author of Sex, Ecology, Spirituality

Healing in its simplest term is love; loving yourself so much that you feel the passion to know the truth of who you are and trust that all is in perfection. The one absolute truth is you are a particle light of the Creator, which is perfect in every way, and, therefore, one with the Creator. By choosing to experience the human journey, we have veiled ourselves to create the illusion of separation, but there is no separation. When we accept that we are truly this light we realize our oneness with the Creator and we begin to heal...and know that absolutely everything can be healed.

double post...but
"In the infinity of live where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete. I choose to see myself as the universe sees me - perfect, whole, and complete. The truth of my Being is that I was created perfect, whole and complete. I will always be perfect, whole and complete. I now choose to live my life from this understanding. I am in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing. All is well in my world."

Deep at the centre of my being there is an infinite well of love.
I now allow this love to flow to the surface.
It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being, and radiates out from me in all directions and returns to me multiplied.
The more love I use and give, the more I have to give, the supply is endless.
The use of love makes me feel good; it is an expression of my inner joy.
Yes, I love myself, therefore I take loving care of my body.
I lovingly feed it nourishing food and beverages.
I lovingly groom it and dress it and my body lovingly responds to me with vibrant health and energy.
I love myself, therefore I provide for myself a comfortable home, one that fills all my needs and is a pleasure to be in.
I fill the rooms with the vibration of love so that all who enter, myself included, will feel this love and be nourished by it.
I love myself, therefore I work at a job that I truly enjoy doing, one that uses all my talents and abilities, working with and for people that I love and love me, and earning a good income.
I love myself, therefore, I behave in a loving way to all people for I know that that which I give out returns to me multiplied.
I only attract loving people in my world for they are a mirror of what I am.
I love myself, therefore I forgive and totally release the past and all past experiences and I am free.
I love myself, therefore I love totally in the now, experiencing each moment as good and knowing that my future is bright, and joyous and secure, for I am a beloved child of the universe and the universe lovingly takes care of me now and forever more.
And so it is.
