Can You Come Just *Thinking* About It?

Hi, I am Dr. Patti Taylor of www.Expandedlovemaking.com.

I grew up with mottos like, “What you see is what you get”. “Seeing is believing”. “If you can’t feel it, it isn’t real”.

This kind of thinking means that an orgasm we are having in our head alone isn’t really happening to us, even if it happens to be feeling really amazingly delicious!

This type of rationale goes on a fender-bender when thousands of people start reporting “inner-mind/body” orgasms (which I guess are the opposite of out-of-body experiences, you might say!).

Have you had one, or several? If so, would you be willing to share what yours was like? I shared my experience on this week’s podcast with Dr. Barry Komisaruk, and I’ll give the link below.

You can do so here, in our comments section. We’d love to hear.

Or, if you’re feeling really virtuous, perhaps you’d like to contribute to making the world a better place? Dr. Barry is doing research to help spine-injured patients find new ways to experience orgasm.

He is seeking volunteers who can “think off” and are willing to come to New York to participate in his research study. You can write to him for further information at this address: brk@psychology.rutgers.edu.

What a good cause, more pleasure for people with a serious injury.

Wishing everyone more pleasure. I know you’ll get lots of ideas about how to have more in this fabulous podcast!

New Events, 10/20 and 10/28

As you may have noticed I am offering more these days. Why? We teach what we need to learn, I always say. So what is there to learn about making love, and using this information to go into expanded orgasmic states, you might ask of me, since I probably do it more than almost anyone I know?

Everything. It’s not about what is being taught. It’s about being in the experience. Each gathering is like a sacred puja, or ceremony, where we use our collective energies to raise one another, and ourselves, and our awareness, in order to expand our bliss and bliss consciousness to places we never dreamed possible. And that is always an infinite journey.

So here is what is planned:

AH: Awakening Hearts: Saturday October 20th. 7pm to 10pm. In San Franscisco.
Last month's gathering was REALLY fun and connective!
So, come join a group of juicy cultural creatives, as we awaken our capacity to feel more joy, aliveness, and bliss!

For more info click on link: www.healingwords.org/ah.htm

Another evening: Sun., October 28th, 7 -10 pm in Corte Madera: Expanded Tantric Lovemaking, with optional potluck beforehand at 6 pm:
Here I am share some of the information that I have been presenting in New York, and introduce you to what I will be teaching in my upcoming playshops. You’ll learn more about how to expand your sensual life with newly refined practices derived from the Kashmiri Shaivist Tantra traditions. For more info click here:

What are people are saying about Ah! Awakening Hearts?

*Patti and Don created a delightful, heartfelt space that was very safe and felt like home.
*The connecting exercises sparked my intuition and put me in touch with the moment.
*The activities of the evening helped me to explore the delicate balance of honoring boundaries and taking risks. I found that asking permission allowed more intimacy.
*Thank you for creating such a safe space to me to explore Sacred
Intimacy with my self and others. t reminded me that the essence of Tantra is spiritual awakening.
*It was more than I expected. I left the event with a feeling of deep peace and fullness in my Heart.

Finally, check out my podcasts! We have some great ones coming up, including Mantak Chia, Lori Grace and Scott Catamas, and Stan Grof. Visit my website, under Podcasts, to learn more about how to download right into Itunes.

Have You Heard Living Dialogues This Week?

Hi, this is Dr. Patti Taylor of www.ExpandedLovemaking.com, and I want to get on my soapbox for a minute, okay?

I just love Living Dialogs! It’s a podcast on the Personal Life Media Network. I literally await each week’s show with true curiosity. What has Duncan Campbell created for us this week?

Every podcast has a way of changing my life. They are that good! But recently, Joseph Chilton Pearce has been on for three whole shows, talking about culture, violence, children, the language of the heart, how it connects to the brain, and the biology of transcendence.

What do I love? Okay, it’s academic in parts. But Pearce lays it all out:
We are universally divine, but with cultural overlays, are “programmed” to forget this, and to embrace violence… and of course, this will show up in our lovemaking as well as in our children and all other aspects of our society.

This information tracks perfectly with what I teach — and believe — about learning to become a better lover. Underneath it all, we are have the potential to become precious, fabulous lovers, just waiting for a chance to express ourselves and learn how to love even more.

Pearce’s explanations about what we can do about our cultural conditioning… not what you may think… are refreshing and inspiring. And mind-opening.

Wow. Do I love this show. And this week was just another in a string of hits. Thanks, Duncan.

This show is in three parts…. lucky us! So I am just giving the link to his page on Personal Life Media.

And, oh yes, thank you to Personal Life Media, who makes ALL of this content get out to us Lovemakers, who happen to be parents, children ourselves, and, of course, divine beings underneath the programming. Thank you, PLM!

Date Change from 10/6 to 10/28 and an Invitation

Dear Expanded Lovemakers:

After some deliberation, we decided to reschedule our class at Celebrations of Love from from October 6 to Sunday, October 28.

There is a conflict with a dance event that was turned into a fundraiser for a very special person in the COL community. To support that cause we felt the best thing to do is to reschedule our event to another night.

I look forward to seeing you on the 28th!!

In other news, I just got back from the the Podcast and New Media Expo full of lots of new ideas, so hold on as I upgrade and modernize my site and the way I do things around here ... even my email! All for your benefit, of course! The customer... ahem... audience... ahem....ahem... even client... is now the "participant"! I love this!

So, please, let me know your thoughts about what you'd like to hear more of, what you don't understand about my site, or even, just drop me a line and introduce yourselves and let me know what you love learning (or love to learn) about making love!

And I'll be doing way more to make this easier for you because I am really interested and curious, as well as grateful for your participation.

Yours, in ever-expanding love,

Patti (aka Dr. Patti Taylor)

for computer access to my podcast... I now have 21 shows! including Daniel Odier, Margot Anand, Ian Kerner, Mantak Chia (coming soon) and many more amazing guests!

Or just go right into Itunes and search for "Expanded Lovemaking" ... we're currently the top-rated show in our network -- we got approximately 40,000 downloads last month, after 6 months "on the e-waves", which is amazing.

http://expandedlovemaking.blogspot.com/ for my blog... which you can sign up to... (look in the bottom right hand corner where it says, "Subscribe in a reader"). It will come right to your email and comes out much more frequently than this e-zine. We discuss events, shows, and hot juicy stuff.

PS Please... Can you think of friends that would enjoy what we're doing? If so, would you be wiling to pass the word along about what we're up to?

Invite them to take one small step, like to check out one of my 21 podcasts, one that's really touched you personally, perhaps, or sign up to my events list... we have so many exciting new show, events, and articles planned! Even forwarding this email would be great.

There is no substitute for word of mouth. If you are enjoying what I am doing, then, your words are worth thousands of dollars to me!!! Millions, even. I'd love to see this show reach 100,000 downloads, which is where it will start being really commercially viable. Your support would mean a lot.

PSS: Almost all the guests on my audio podcast say that if more people practiced Expanded Lovemaking the world would be a better place in so many ways. Those of you who listen know of the many beautiful ways they've mentioned.

So... why do you listen? And, do you think the consciousness of the planet would shift if there were way more Expanded Lovemakers out there making love all over the planet?

Thanks in advance! Xoxoxoxoxo to all.
