Smile, Wenger! THREE good news from Ozil injury
Randy O. | March 14, 2014 | Arsenal | 5 Comments
Follow @RayFC_
To the naysayers, Mesut Ozil is a flop, yet according to those same folks, his injury is a 'big blow' for Arsenal. The picture may always seem to be painted with gloomy colours by the Gunners' critics but in truth, there is more than enough light at the end of the tunnel for Wenger's men.
A player of Mesut's quality – whether in-form or out of sorts – will be missed by any football team, but considering the amount of firepower still left in Arsenal's underrated armoury, the German may not be missed dearly.
Indeed, do not be surprised if the Gunners take their game to the next level while Ozil takes his time out.
Sounds crazy? Well, here are three reasons why…
Podolski's time has finally come
Lukas Podolski has not been delighted by sitting on the bench until there is no one else to call upon but he could probably walk into the starting line-up now. Despite displaying his ability as one of the best finishers in front of goal, Arsene Wenger never seems convinced enough to hand Lukas a regular spot. When a half fit Yaya Sanogo is preferred in a clash with Bayern Munich, three days after Podolski had scored the winner against Liverpool in the FA Cup, the German forward is right to feel a sense of injustice.
But Ozil's absence means there is now a void to be filled in that starting line-up. And if his brilliant strike at the Allianz Arena does not remind Wenger of what Podolski could mean to Arsenal going forward, then nothing ever will. Also, his scarce ability to track back when playing on the left flank will please an Arsenal crowd which must be sick of the sight of Cazorla, Ozil and Wilshere piling all the work on Gibbs or Monreal.
Less indecisive, more straightforward line-ups and tactics
For six weeks at least, there will be no having to name Ozil first on the team sheet because he cost £42 million even though he was probably one of the weak links from the last game. Ozil's presence has inspired Arsenal into playing out their skin this season and despite his recent blip, he should be lauded for his immense contribution at the start of the season.
But with Wenger not required to build a starting line-up around the former Madrid star, certain players will now be playing in their preferred roles for once. Santi Cazorla is one them. Last year, the Spaniard made a living on playing in that 'number 10' role which Ozil has seized this campaign, netting a stunning 12 goals in the process. In Ozil's absence, Cazorla can now move back to playing behind the striker and leave the left flank for a more accomplished winger who can actually track back. Ultimately, Arsenal will now be forced to deploy more width in their attack while Ozil is out, hindering Wenger's habit of playing several central attacking midfielders and no wingers.
And oh, the German's time out could be the best pill to Wenger's selection headache. The Frenchman has appeared indecisive when the likes of Wilshere and Ozil are all available, picking the wrong combinations in midfield sometimes, but this time, the team picks itself.
Much needed rest for Mesut
Some attribute his recent dip in form to laziness while others claim he is simply overrated, but Mesut Ozil is actually a tired human being. For a man accustomed to winter breaks from his playing days in the Bundesliga and La Liga, it is no easy adaption for Ozil to suddenly play through December in the Premier League like it is nothing new.
Sure, he is not the first to arrive from a foreign league and to be fair, any professional athlete should be able to handle the rigors of fatigue in a new country. Santi Cazorla, another La Liga import, is an example Ozil could have followed. But everyone's body works differently and the fact the German has played more games than any other outfield player apart from Mertesacker and Koscielny is alarming. Defenders do less running than players in front of them anyway, and it is no secret that covering so much ground in midfield has taken its toll on Ozil, hence his hamstring injury.
You can be brilliant like Albert Einstein but when fatigue strikes, it can beat you down like Hulk Hogan. We have also witnessed players return in rejuvenated fashion after enjoying a rest and there should not be any doubt that Ozil could move in that direction.

Mole has a sudden case of spring fever, gives up on his house-cleaning, and ventures out of his home. He finds himself by a river (he has been such a stay- at-home that he has never seen it before) and meets the Water Rat, who invites Mole into his boat, something else he has never seen before. "Believe me, my young friend," Rat says dreamily, "there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."
A world of friendships, the joy of carefree wandering, of picnicking, and playing has opened for Mole. Half way through our story, the Mole, Rat and the Badger go to Toad Hall to try to help their friend Mr Toad who has a bad habit of reckless driving. Toad has quite a few adventures. His irresponsible living and extravagance lead to the loss of his home to the barbaric stoats and weasels. The four friends go to battle to regain Toad Hall. The play ends with a banquet where all the friends rejoice at Toad's return.

Marketers Look to Digital as Cure-All
February 10, 2015 8:47 am Leave a Comment
Credit: C.J. Burton for Ad Age
It's no longer just the bright shiny object of marketing: Digital is fast becoming finance's silver bullet. Marketer after marketer has been telling Wall Street that while they may be cutting, or at least controlling, the growth of ad spending overall, they are still getting the same or even more bang for their buck, thanks to the miracle drug of digital media.
Mattel, Darden Restaurants, Heineken, Clorox, Big Lots and Burlington Stores have all talked about hiking digital spending on recent investor calls. But it's consumer packaged goods executives, once viewed as laggards of the digital revolution, that have jumped on this bandwagon particularly hard. Unilever, Procter & Gamble Co. and Kraft Foods Group have in recent quarters said digital accounts for 20% to 35% of their total media or marketing outlays.
That puts some of them beyond the global average of 24% of media budgets now going to digital estimated by ZenithOptimedia — effectively making them canaries in the coal mine of digital-media effectiveness.
And there are signs the air isn't all clear: Some of the companies talking the most about increasing digital investments are simultaneously posting slower or disappointing sales results. Given all the myriad factors that influence sales, it's impossible to draw a straight line between digital spending and results. Still, it raises questions about whether more digital spending is really delivering more for the money and whether marketers, still pressing to increase the share of funds they spend on digital, may already be spending too much.
Unknown return
P&G and Unilever, the world's two biggest ad spenders, came in a bit below analysts forecasts for revenue last quarter even as they talked about spending more of their media dollars on digital for the sake of efficiency and effectiveness. P&G cut ad spending as a share of sales by 0.7 percentage points — most of that coming from non-media costs, while Unilever maintained ad spending but trimmed agency and production costs.
Kraft sales rose just 0.9% in the third quarter, a time when Chief Financial Officer Teri List-Stoll said in an October call that digital had reached 35% "of total spend," up from 25% a year earlier.
AD AGE REPORTS
Research ReportShort Form Video
Instagram and Vine have changed the landscape of online video, find out how to best use these platforms for marketing.
Mattel Chief Financial Officer Kevin Farr, while not citing a share of spending, said Jan. 30 the company hiked its share of budget coming from digital and had "good success" there, though the overall marketing effort "didn't generate the lift we expected."
Not every marketer heaping more money on digital had lackluster top-line results. Darden beat analyst forecasts with sales from continuing operations up 4.9% in its fiscal second quarter, as interim CEO Eugene Lee told investors on a conference call that it had boosted digital spending to 25% of its ad budget.
There are many factors at play. Companies were facing such headwinds as a strong dollar and slowing developing markets too strong for any kind of marketing — digital or analog — to overcome, said Deutsche Bank analyst William Schmitz. Results have also been weighed down by a frugal U.S. consumer, which is beyond the control of the media mix, said Edward Jones & Co. analyst Jack Russo.
Regardless, investors and analysts appear to like hearing that marketers, particularly CPG companies once viewed as heavily dependent on traditional media, are moving more money into digital.
"Investors typically love to hear these companies are using Facebook, Twitter and Google," said Bernstein Research analyst Ali Dibadj. "The problem is no one can tell you what the return on that is."
Certainly the companies themselves believe it's working. "We continue to drive marketing productivity through an optimized mix driven by new more-efficient digital media," said P&G CFO Jon Moeller on a recent earnings call. He said more than 30% of the company's "working media" is now digital, citing its "proprietary systems to target digital media," which includes an in-house programmatic-buying system.
Ms. List-Stoll noted in December that among Kraft's most productive marketing efforts has been its all-digital campaign behind Oscar Mayer.
In a December investor seminar where he said Unilever's global media spending has hit 20% digital overall and more than 30% in the U.S., Chief Financial Officer Jean-Marc Huet didn't say it was more effective than traditional media. But he did say it permits faster learning.
"There's still a wide range of returns on individual digital activities," Mr. Huet said. "The latest analytics enable us to learn from mistakes, adapt [and] improve our margins and campaigns much more quickly than is possible with traditional media."
All the talk of efficiency — even from marketers' financial overseers — has bolstered the conventional wisdom that digital is much cheaper than traditional media. After all, there's a vast supply of inventory, often free in the form of social-media sharing. But deeper analysis shows digital is neither as cheap nor as free as it's often cracked up to be.
CPM comparisons
Digital display space is indeed relatively inexpensive, with estimates over the past year collected by eMarketerranging from under $1 for inventory acquired through real-time bidding on exchanges (per VivaKi) to over $10 for premium inventory. But while a growing use of programmatic buying is helping advertisers control costs, application of viewability standards is shrinking the supply of inventory advertisers are willing to pay for. Google estimates that 56% of online ads are never actually viewed by people, which pressures prices the other way.
Meanwhile, online video, which many advertisers are using to replace or supplement TV, particularly with harder-to-reach younger viewers, isn't cheap. It can even be considerably more expensive than TV.
A study last year by media benchmarking firm SQAD found the average CPM of in-stream online video ads in 2013 was $23.13, 38% higher than the average for cable TV time in the age 18-to-49 demographic. That was still way cheaper, however, than the $44.11 average for the 18-to-49 demo on network prime time.
Advertisers may often be paying much more than those estimates for online video views. A study released last week by Strike, a preferred marketing developer for Google, found advertisers paid nearly $14 million to back releases and pre-releases of videos related to their Super Bowl ads on YouTube through early Feb. 4. For that, they got 237.8 million views, of which 97 million were "earned" or free.
Even assuming those were all unique viewers — not a reasonable assumption — that translates to a CPM of $58.73 for views. However, based on a total of 844 million "paid impressions," which also includes people who watched the ads for less than 30 seconds on YouTube, the CPM is only $16.58.
Given the reported $4.5 million cost of an ad on the big game and NBC's 114.4 million audience, per Nielsen, the CPM for a Super Bowl buy was $39.34 — 34% lower than views on YouTube by the Strike estimates. Based on overall impressions, a Super Bowl ad still costs more than double what it costs to get eyeballs on YouTube, according to the Strike study.
"What was initially attractive [to marketers] was the combination of consumers moving to digital and that the impressions were priced right," said Rex Briggs, CEO of analytics firm Marketing Evolution. "But as digital video has been particularly bid up because there's more demand than supply, a marketer needs to know when to say when."
Estimates by eMarketer still peg the digital share of CPG budgets at only 8.4% for 2014, and Mr. Briggs said it's hard for him to believe many CPG companies are really now putting as much as 35% of their money into digital. But if they are, it may be too much.
His database tracks the impact of various campaigns against such metrics as brand awareness or purchase intent based on consumer surveys and how much brands are spending on media. He uses it to optimize allocations, so brands don't spend too much on any one medium.
Based on food-industry results for past campaigns totaling $100 million in spending, Marketing Evolution recommends a mix of 35% digital for a $15 million campaign but only 21% for a $30 million campaign that seeks to build brand awareness. If the objective is purchase intent, it recommends 28% digital for the $15 million campaign and 20% for a $30 million push.
Mr. Briggs cautioned that the numbers vary by industry, objective and further spending levels. But as a general rule he finds digital efforts hit diminishing returns faster than traditional campaigns.


The September issue of Upcountry News/West Point News featured an opinion piece on Wild and Scenic River designation for the Mokelumnne River.
Wild and Scenic -- What's in the name?
What is a Wild and Scenic River designation and is it right for the Mokelumne River?
That will be for Congress to decide. Efforts by the Foothill Conservancy to gain Wild and Scenic designation for the river have been under way since the organization successfully defeated the Devil�s Nose dam project in 1989.
The conservancy is seeking the designation for the north fork section of the river, from Salt Springs Reservoir to Tiger Creek, and for the main stem between Tiger Creek and Highway 49.
A recently-published Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Sierra Resource Management Plan states the main stem of the river is both eligible and suitable for Wild and Scenic designation because of �outstandingly remarkable� cultural, historical and high-water-quality values.
The benefits of Wild and Scenic designation for Amador and Calaveras Counties would be preservation of the river as it exists today and protection from the construction of new dams and diversions.
The National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act was signed into law Oct. 2, 1968, by President Johnson as recommended by a Presidential commission.
A river or river section may be designated wild and scenic by the U.S. Congress or the Secretary of the Interior. As of 2004, 164 river segments have been granted wild and scenic status in this country. California has 13 rivers or river sections designated as Wild and Scenic, including portions of the American and Tuolumne rivers.
Contrary to Oneto�s statements, landowners would see no change in land use with Wild and Scenic. Within three years of the designation, a comprehensive river management plan must be developed and must include public input.
Oneto also inaccurately stated Wild and Scenic designation would hamper the thinning of underbrush to lighten fuel loads in the river canyon.
According to Wright, Wild and Scenic designation assures best practices for forest and fire management will always be upheld. For information on Wild and Scenic designation, visit www.americanrivers.org and www.foothillconservancy.org.

Small wildland fire spotted by train crew
PULGA — Crew members on a Union Pacific freight train traveling through the Feather River Canyon Monday morning spotted a wildland fire east of the Pulga Bridge.
The blaze was reported at 6:16 a.m. to Butte County Fire/CDF, which launched a full wildland fire response to an area along Camp Creek Road.
In addition to several engine companies, two helicopters were assigned to the fire. CDF spokeswoman Janet Upton said flames were burning in an area so rugged that only specialized, four-wheel drive engines were able to reach it.
High winds in the area pushed the fire downhill, which Upton said directed the flames into a narrow canyon, and turned out to be a break for firefighters. She said the same fire later in the day, when winds tend to blow the other direction, would have made it a much more serious incident.
The fire burned just under three acres, and took about two hours to extinguish.
Helicopter pilots reluctant to drop water buckets into the rapids of the north fork of the Feather River had to search for a safer source of water, slightly extending to time it took to contain the blaze.
No structures were threatened by the flames, Upton said.
The cause of the fire was determined to be tree branches falling on power lines.

Woodland School District Superintendent among 25 Latino Change Makers in the Region


This past weekend Dario I took our mini vacation trip to NYC. I know in one of my last posts (this one here) I mentioned that we were going a few weeks from now. But Sunday afternoon we took the train back early to NJ for a surprise party my family decided to throw for my grandmother. And as an avid reader of my blog, I couldn't disclose the REAL date of our trip because my she would have figured out her surprise!
I'm glad we got to go last weekend – the weather in NYC was awesome – slightly breezy, no humidity and the perfect temperature for a day of walking. Which I might add, was totally necessary considering everything we ate! Dario had some specific food requests for our trip – he's only been to NYC one other time. I've been more times than I can count so I let him dictate our food stops. Side note – sorry for the crappy iPhone pictures. We brought our nice camera….but…forgot it in the hotel room. So yea…sorry.
The first stop was of course, picking up a "real" New York bagel. A close second to that was eating "real" slice of New York pizza. Note that some people obviously believe you can only get this "real" food in NYC. According to his previous research, bagels and pizza are really good only in NYC and NJ due to the type of water they have. He wanted to bring some of that water home and make his own bagels and pizza crust. Yea…that request got DE-nied.
We got our delicious real bagel from Katz' deli in Chinatown shmeared with cream cheese, loaded with lox and topped with a sprinkling of raw onions and capers. SO good. The bagel was perfectly chewy and the lox was some of the best I've had. Our breakfast together ended up being quite silent as we happily munched down on our bagels.
Lunch was…you guessed it…pizza. We went to Mario Batali's Eatly near the meat packing district (or maybe it's in the meat packing district…not sure). We ended up getting pizza to go because the place was so crowded you couldn't get a seat at any of the vendor stations. This ended up being perfect – we got to eat our roasted vegetable pizza across the street in a little park, away from the 5,000 people who were jammed inside this place. It was a really…really good pizza. I wish I would have gotten to see more of the Eatly inside. But it was just too crowded. I was kinda disappointed, but maybe next time I'll visit during non peak hours.
Dinner was probably our favorite meal. I did a good amount of research before making our reservations and decided to go with a place called V-note. It's an all organic wine bar and vegan restaurant. I initially wanted to go to Dirt Candy, but they were booked for days, so that option didn't work out. V-note ended up being a very delicious replacement to Dirt Candy.
We split two appetizers – the lentil and root vegetable rolls in a mustard pistachio sauce and then a Seitan Schnitzel with a blueberry reduction and german style potato salad. Both were amazing. I still can't believe how good the Schnitzel was. I was swear, this dish would fool even the meatiest meat eater out there.
For the entrees I decided with the lasagna and roasted broccolini- I saw it pass by and just couldn't resist. Dario ordered the barbeque tempeh with roasted corn salsa and avocado and a horseradish creme fraiche. I think my lasagna was the best – the sauce was one of the BEST tomato sauces I've ever had. I could have licked it off the plate.
Besides the food we went to see Central Park, walked through Time's Square and checked out a few stores including the M&M's store (look at all those colors!), walked around the meat packing district and lastly checked out Chelsea market. It was such a great trip! I highly recommend going to Eatly, Chelsea market and of course going to V-note restaurant!
You tell me! Have you ever been to NYC? What's your favorite restaurant there? Favorite attraction?
The BBQ tempeh with roasted corn salsa looks divine!
It was SO good! Especially loved the salsa and the horseradish creme fraiche!

Don't you believe that playing in the casino or placing bets on the bookmaker site can bring you real money? Then this news will surprise you. At the end of April, the popular Las Vegas casino The Cosmopolitan reported a big win. A resident of Alaska became a winner of the jackpot of $2.1 million. The player decided to try his luck in the slot called Monopoly Millionaire, which is in great demand among visitors to the casino.
The Cosmopolitan casino's Twitter says that the Monopoly Millionaire slot machine has proven its big name in action. In the evening, a distinguished guest from the state of Alaska started his game. His initial bet was only $40. But just a few minutes later the customer was the lucky winner of the jackpot of $2.1 million.
The developer of the popular slot machine, which provided the unnamed American a fortune, is a well-known company SG Gaming. The mechanics of the game is based on the work of five reels.

"I recommend that everyone incorporate some form of stress management into their daily routine. Simple things you can do are 10 minutes of meditation (I love the One Giant Mind app), deep belly breathing, yoga, or getting outside to spend time in nature. However, for some people with rosacea and other skin conditions the sun can trigger an inflammatory response, so see what you can handle and don't push it."

Nina Powell 3:21
I am very well. Thank you. It's great to be here and chatting to more and more women about pleasure and bodies and sex and yeah, so this is great.
I'm really excited about this because it's not something that we've talked about at all really on our podcast in the few years that we've been doing it. I think it's such an important piece for optimal health and happiness and success and well being and life in general. So thank you, I have the fortune of spending four days with you on the Milford soundtrack where I got to really pick your brain and basically spend four days talking about orgasms. It's awesome.
Yeah, that's amazing. Once you start talking about sex and orgasms and pleasure how much everybody loves the conversations.
Kate Callaghan
Exactly, exactly.
Oh, no, no, it's such a huge part. I mean, I think really like my perspective is that we are like, naturally drawn to what desiring like love and connection in our life like it's like, probably like one of our ultimate strongest longings in life is to have that. Like to have a partner, to have beautiful connection, and it's the thing that brings up the most challenges that the sexual aspect just brings up. Yeah. So, many challenges for people and yeah, yeah.
I'm going to dive more into that but first, what we ask all of our guests. Question really start off with is, what did you have for breakfast?
Oh, well, I don't know that you're going to ask that.
At the moment they're thinking I didn't plan this one. I, today, I had an omelet. I hadn't had any eggs in the cupboard for a few days and you will definitely hear my Kiwi accent if anyone foreign, this is how we say eggs. So, I had an omelet with cauliflower, organic veggies, cauliflower, and I got it from my garden that I fried in coconut oil and made an omelet. And then I put a bit of cheese on top and put it under the grill. It's delicious.
Yum. That feels sound good.
Yeah, and I had pesto on the side. It's my dip.
Did you make it yourself?
I actually did for the first time. I grew basil in my garden and I was like, I'm gonna turn this into something. So, I did yesterday, my pesto was like dandelion, and basil, and plantain.
Yeah, it was yummy. Sounds really healthy.
Well, you are really healthy. Even on the meal food tracking, out all these goal meals, getting herb leaves, in the middle of nowhere when people are having dehydrated. These packed foods and you're like, oh I just got all these organic babies. I'm just gonna mix up here.
Yeah. And very lots of cacao. I'm kind of like a raw cacao themed, a little bit. Although I'm laying off it a little bit at the moment because I was reading about cadmium in cocoa recently, which isn't very good for us. So anyway, that's another conversation but.
We might need to be back on to talk about cacao because you're.
Those are like crack anyway.
Another day. So, before we go any deeper into the question because we've had a lot of questions sent in from listeners. Can you tell us a little bit more about what it is you do and how you got into it? That's quite unique.
Yeah. So, what I really do is I mentor and guide woman. And what that means is like in both, like coaching and supporting people to bring change in their life, and also teaching. So, I teach, like, I teach all these practices that basically help you to really be a new stay in your body and get away from this, like, busy, busy mind. And, yeah, allow you to actually experience this incredible potential that's within you, you know, our bodies are covered in these delicious nerve endings that makes sensation feel good. And, you know, we have all this amazing potential within us, but actually, the lifestyles we live, like the busy lifestyles, they're like tiredness, you know, all these things are pulling you, all these different directions can make it really hard to just be in the moment and really experience that potential. So, that's largely like what I do. And I work a lot with women with like, anxiety, and yeah, they're all these different things, but what they usually, woman normally come to me and saying that they have some kind of yeah, some kind of challenge going on around libido or orgasms or like a lot of effort to get to, like really efforting, having to work really hard. And just the sense, I think, woman know, like, most woman seem to have a sense that there's something more inside them, but they just don't really know how to tap into it. And it's this like, longing, like an unmet longing for experiencing this more, whatever that looks like. So, yeah, that's kind of like what I do with the people, and how I ended up here is pretty windy windy journey. So I, interestingly enough, when I was like, 18, a friend of mine said to me, you should be a sex therapist. And I was like, okay, you know, 18 year old, I don't really know that much yet but I thought that was pretty interesting because between then and like, now. I went to London, I've, you know, I've been to university, did all this sort of studies really, and worked very much in very like corporate environments. So, I came from a hippie background, you know, hippie kind of appearance in the country in New Zealand, growing up in that way. And I always had this idea about being a professional, like, you know, when you come from like, wildness, you're like, I want to be a professional. I don't want, none of us in the family happiness. We had tailored clothes and I want to. Yeah, exactly, exactly, exactly. And I had this real thing about being a professional. So, I spent many years in corporate world and got married, and to the sky had a had a bit of had an awful sexual trauma incident when I was at uni. All this kind of things sort of happen that we're supposed to just wasn't really living like what was natural and a natural way to me. And at the end of this relationship, when I finally kind of got the guts out to leave, this awful relationship, it was no one's all bad. You know, it was always this sort of swing between that but ultimately, I didn't really have my power in that relationship and when I finally got the guts to leave him, I started to question like, everything in life. I was like, questioning my work, questioning how I was living, and I and I picked up this book on my mum's bookshelf called Wishcraft. And it was like, totally radical to me. And it was about like dreaming your life into being. And like visioning, like how you want to actually be living, like what your day looks like, what kind of environment you're in, and all this kind of stuff. So, I started this big deep dive into, who I am and visioning my life. And then you know, how many years later now? I suppose that was that sort of began about eight years ago. And yeah, I just started to follow like, what I really wanted. It was like, oh, I really want to go on meditation. I want to go to this retreat. Oh, now I'm doing a conscious sexuality workshop. Wow, that was amazing. Oh, I might do another one. And before I knew it it was something just started to unfold. And, and then it was just taking the taking the leap. Like, there was this point of me still in my corporate job, like secretly starting to do this other thing on the side. And I just had to, I just had to take this leap. I just had to, like, I asked them for a sabbatical and I, I'd been planning to ask them for about I don't know six months. And by the time I got to the point of asking them, I actually sort of didn't want them to say yes, anyway. And they didn't, they said no, if you want to have a break, it was like, okay. And I did it. And now here I am been doing my own, like practice full time for about sort of three and a half years full time now. So yeah, it's amazing. Now, I work with woman and I bring incredible transformation into people's lives. And I just, honestly can't think of anything. I'd rather be doing I just love it so much. It's just um, yeah, I've seen people's lives change. They're deeply like people that are single like meeting the you know, they're fully aligned partner for the first time ever in their life and feeling empowered, and like they're really choosing. That's been a really big part of my journey it's like this, like choosing for self like really, really choosing for self. Like for what you're like, I use the word soul, like what and shows up in like your body. Like what your body really wants.
Kate Callaghan 12:59
The alignment, if you're in alignment it's what you should be doing.
Yeah, and it's so clear, because like, my last year of working in corporate, I got sick 12 times.
Nina Powell 13:09
It was just like, you got to the point where it was, like, no longer sustainable to be living like that. My body was just like, nah.
Yeah. Listen to those whispers. I can't listen to the whispers in terms of big brick wall crashing down on you, doesn't it?
Yeah, and like life passing you by. I just kept on thinking, oh my God, am I really gonna be like, is this going to be my legacy, like, you know sitting in this room sometimes have nothing to do on a computer.
But a stable career.
Stable, stable wage, like I just said that, oh, my God. I literally only live once.
I felt like that was what was the gift at the end of that relationship was like this really big awakening into like, being alive. And then once I was alive, I was like, holy I can't, I've got to live in ways that make me feel alive.
Yeah, that's incredible. And what you're doing is so important and so needed. And I mean, it's something that's probably not spoken about enough. You know, even still now might say, orgasm. You get like schoolyard people.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
When we really shouldn't. I mean, the orgasms are fabulous. And you mentioned that most women come to you for support with their orgasms and achieving their orgasms. And so, can you tell us a little bit more about how important you think orgasms are in, I was going to ask in sexual intimacy, but I want to know your thoughts on orgasms in life in general?
Well, yeah, I think that's a great question because it's like not just about the moment of orgasm, but it is also about the moment of orgasm. So, I think a lot of woman could probably relate to having sex with their partner. Particularly with a partner, because this is where the like the unfulfilled experience can probably arise more often because you're like, it's somebody else's rhythm and time, and fuel, and particularly if you're in a relationship with that with a male, but also, I guess what, you know, with any partner, you know, when they've had enough, they've had enough kind of thing, but particularly with your relationship with the male, because when they, when they have the orgasm, they basically just want to fall asleep. And even if you want to carry on it just doesn't have the same energy about it. It just doesn't have that like, it's like they've kind of stolen the.
The like the font of the flame. It's like, what? So yeah, it is about orgasm and actually, what happens in that moment, women will have what is called a negative dopamine release. So they will start this buildup of this energy and if you don't have that, like, if your body is like building and building pleasure, and then it's like, just stopped. It's that you get negative dopamine, which is why it feels so gut-wrenching. Like I couldn't believe that I would feel so devastated as the rational brain itself. It's just an orgasm. What's the big deal? Like, you can have another go tomorrow or.
Actually, in the body, it can feel really devastating, like really unfulfilled. Really, like, so kind of like sadness. Can you relate to it?
Yeah, I can totally relate to it.
I never, I never knew that. Wow.
Yeah. So like, all these women are kind of trying to, like, rationalize and tell themselves that it doesn't really matter. But honestly, this is like what is going on in your body, it just isn't natural to have that happen. You know, it's much more natural for us to be the ones that just like get brought up to this incredible heights of pleasure and have orgasm after orgasm. That's like what the woman's body is capable of. So, I think that's why we feel so gut rage as well because we both like can sense that there's so much more in there.
Going somewhere amazing. And then you get to take your partner with you. He gets to or what he or she gets to ride that wave of, like your intense arousal but so then how that orgasm then like flows into your life? It's, I mean, it's pretty clear. I think for most people, if you've had like, an amazing orgasm, then the next day, you just want that day, you know, you just feel better. It's like you've got that little bit of swagger on, you know, you've got that little bit of smile on and you're in your body, you know, you're like actually kind of like feeling your body, you know, you're much more grounded in your body. And that just helps everything. Like, you can think clearly. Nothing is a big deal anymore. Like that pile of dishes or whatever. It's like we're whatever. You know things stop mattering as much here. And then and then you can use that for your career. It's really creative, like lifeforce energy. So, what that means that might sound a little woo-woo. But what that means is like, for a woman, your creativity is connected to your sexuality, and money as well actually. They all like intermingle together. And if you start to have really amazing orgasmic experiences, there's like flow can happen in your life where you all of a sudden, you're like, I don't know, writing a new book, or like, in my case, leaving a corporate job. Like I just got all this confidence, and creative, like flow of like what else I could do. Yeah, everything you read, if you start researching it, you'll find like lots of like, creatives, like you'll, you'll be reading this story and it will be like when they hit this lover, and all of a sudden, like all this art, or this book gets written or yeah. It's like the feminine as of true feminine awakening to like your whole self is accessing this pleasure. Yeah.
That they're important.
It's really important because we want you to show up fully as your whole self. No, that's like what's needed.
Totally. I read something the other day that the best cure for a migraine is actually orgasm.
Yeah, yeah. And period pains have an orgasm. And it's just relaxes everything.
Now, I know that what you just said then period pains, have an orgasm. I know some people but what do you mean? Do you please yourself during your period, or do you have sexual intercourse with your partner during your period?
Yeah, I think that's a really personal thing. And I guess the question is like, what is stopping you from having both? Like is the reason that you might not do with shame around the blood or maybe you've been shamed at some point, had a partner kind of be grossed out or just through like the media or your own upbringing around your own menstrual blood. I mean, we've pretty much told that it's like, disgusting, you know, from an early age. So if that's the reason that you're not, then, you know, that could definitely be worked with because there is a lot of pleasure available in that time and like a different level of connection with a partner, because you're open in a different kind of way but it does take a partner who's like, able to be really, really prisoned. You can't, it's not the sort of time to have like, the sort of sex that you might have when you're ovulating, which is more like, let's just get it on. Like less caring about emotional intimacy, and more about pleasure. And I think during your period, then it's like that emotional intimacy is really, really important.
Yeah. Definitely.
So, yeah. And it's just personal. Some woman feel like it's just not the time to have anybody else come into their body. And it's just really the time to be with yourself. Yeah.
Yeah, thank you for sharing that. And so, a little bit earlier on in the chat, you mentioned, you mentioned something about multiple orgasms, and how our body's designed to be able to do that. I know someone would be going, I'm lucky if I can have one orgasm. And I know a lot of women who struggle to orgasm, either every time so speaking to a friend of mine, and she was talking to me about this super hot guy that she'd been seeing and having sex, like five times a day and like, oh, my God. I only have it like once a week.
Yeah. Wow.
She's a lot younger. And you know.
When you first meet someone that hormones a lot.
Yeah, yeah. yeah. And then she said, I said, but I don't. I don't orgasm every time. And if I might orgasm once every five or six times we have sex but I also have friends in the past who have said they've never orgasmed at all, either through sex or otherwise. So, what would you be done about this? Is that normal?
Yeah. I would say it's common. For sure. And, and there's a few things going on, like, yeah where do we begin this one? So, one aspect which is really important is really, really knowing your own body. So, I think it's the statistic is like something like only 50% of woman self-pleasured when they were young. So, if you were one of those, you probably got like a lot of catching up to do. You know, when you, when I make people that are that were giving themselves orgasms from like the age of seven or something, they're like very easily multi-orgasmic. So, that's part of it is like really like knowing your, your own body, not just knowing your own body, but I mean, like regularly getting your body into high states of arousal, because that makes it much easier with a partner to enter into those states. So if you're like just waiting for your like, once a week, sex state, you're basically like, cold, like, you could say your body is cold, like the sexual energy isn't really there. Whereas if you're already like warm, then it's going to be much easier to have an orgasm. So, that's one part. The other part is, did you know that it takes like 45 minutes for a woman's body to become fully aroused or could be longer?
I did not.
Yeah. So, I think if we're leading especially if we're partnering with men, and if we lead in male sexuality be the lead, you know, they get their sexuality is very different. They can get you know, aroused. Like they get a hard on like in an instant. And our bodies are like endows when they talk about woman being water. And I really like this metaphor because women are water minifier. And if you think of a pot of water, if you like put it on the stove, you know, even on a high heat, it takes some time before it even gets warm. And then once it gets to simmering, it doesn't take that long before it gets really hot but you've got to like get your body like simmering and I think women put a lot of pressure on themselves to get like instantly aroused and instantly turned on. And if your partner is like, instantly turned on, often, they could be kinda like fast. Like, they've got this fire energy. So it's like, oh, you know, all this energy flowing around.
I'm a very visual person, right?
Yeah. Whereas, like, your nervous system is very important for female sexual arousal. So, if you don't get really relaxed, and like blissful, then you just can't get aroused. This is not blood flow to your genitals and to enable you should get like relax and blissful. You need like language awakening. The stuff in the movies where people have like sex in the corridor or something to slay in an instant, and she's like heaviness, incredible orgasm? Well, I don't know if that's actually true for anyone, probably only if she just already like, I don't know. I had an incredible orgasm a few hours earlier or something and her body's really open and receptive. Maybe? Yeah, so that's. So, there's still more to that isn't there. So, some people. Yeah. So, when we're having enough time, having your body be like receptive so that you've like, regularly having pleasure enables you to have pleasure more, it's like you, if you don't use it, you lose that kind of thing. So, that's definitely part of it. And, and also, just like being the guide for your body, so during pleasure if you haven't really spent much time really thinking about what you want. And you're maybe tolerating during sex, there's a lot of that happening, where women are, like, not communicating like the inside, you know, thinking, I just wish she would go to the left or just slow down, or I wish to be but softer or over, you know, and not. And so all of that is taking you away from the moment and not really feeling and you're not really receiving what your body wants. So, yeah, there's lots of layers to these things, I think. So, it's kind of about inquiring about, like, what part might be your part. There's like, there's always, I always think of these like keys in the door and you have to kind of like find the key that's going to unlock the experience for you. And I'm sure there's more we could talk about this, but women that have never experienced orgasm, it's incredibly rare for that for your body to not be able to. So, it's not that there's like a physical thing that stopping you. It's more to do with like, shame, religious upbringing seems to be a really common thing for a lot of women from religious upbringings come to me saying that they've never had an orgasm. Yeah, and like just not maybe giving your body what it really really needs. And also sexual trauma, sometimes that can also be the block because as you get sexually aroused, the intensity of the feelings can feel like too much. So, sometimes some woman check out or they want it to stop. So, they're not able to relax and surrender into their moment. So, yeah.
It does involve a lot of surrendering, doesn't it?
Absolutely. I love how you touched on that a bit, the shame aspect, because I think there is definitely shame around orgasms, but also around self-pleasuring. So, you mentioned that, if you're that it's kind of a way to warm, keep yourself warm, and you might only be having sex once or twice a week? And would you say, you know, self-pleasuring on a daily basis as a way to keep that momentum up?
Oh, yeah, if you like that every day, and especially when I kind of caveat that a little bit too. But yeah, the more you're doing that the better. For sure. And you don't have to be doing everyday people every day. People probably like, we're not gonna do it everyday. But if you're, there's a woman. It's Betty Dodson. She's in her 80s and she's a sex educator. And she always talks about this too. I think she would say do it every day, for sure. She's like, you got to know your body. And, um, but even if you were like, a couple of times a week or even once a week, if you had like a sex date with yourself like once a week, even that would be nourishing. And why is it or what kind of want to caveat is because oftentimes, women have very functional orgasms. Like, really in and out quick and fast friction-based clitoral stimulation, have the orgasm is done and they don't actually feel very nourished or satisfied afterwards or maybe feel like a little bit satisfied. Like yeah, that was still good, but not really tapping into like the full potential in the body. So, really like to make yourself most available for amazing pleasure. You want to be practicing, like taking a bit of time to really let it build up in your body. So then you're getting this experience of like, really deep arousal. Yeah.
Yeah. And that can take a little bit of practice, but there's loads of things you can learn.
Make it more fun. Yeah.
And that's also totally okay to have a quick one sometimes to like, no shame ever. All orgasms are good.
You know, I think you mentioned as well, you know, some girls who have learned to pleasure themselves since the age of seven. And I'm sure there's people out there going oh, what, how? But I can, so I can fully vouch for this. Not for myself. I think I was taught by a friend to how to self-pleasure when I was 13.
Really? Wow.
Yeah, we'll camping. Yeah, she's pretty cool. I remember the experience very clearly but my daughter, Olivia, I think she needed to she was having showers by herself. And she would ask for the shower head and she would put it straight down on there. And she would sit and just stare into space.
Having this awesome experience. And she also had this one time she always runs around naked. She discovered that when she's naked if the cat went walked between her legs, and the tail brushed the vagina in the clitoral area, it felt really good. So, there was a long period of time when that cat was trying to. She was chasing the cat. And she will she will sit there on the couch and she will play with herself to no end. And I think it's important for us as parents as well to, to not stop them as confronting as we might find that. Just to go. Yeah, okay, not make a big deal of it.
Yeah, because like, pleasure is actually good and natural. And we actually touch our genitals like in the mother's womb. So, we're born sexual, but we're born with it feeling good. And it's just about, I think we spoke a bit about this in a way as well about like, how to encourage kids just to learn that it's like their body and that, you know, something that you do, and you'll be enjoying like, things like that, so that it's not getting doesn't get confusing as well.
Yeah. Yeah, she probably should go to her bedroom a little bit more. She's, she's very open but that's all right. We're all right with that now. She's only not even four, if people come around.
Yeah, yeah. And just like learning that, so that she doesn't get like a shameful-shaming experience at some other point.
Yeah, it's definitely.
Confusing to be like, oh, I thought this was okay. And now someone's like, really having a go because I do have a friend actually, when she was growing up and she had discovered the slight pleasure and she had a few times with like other girls when she was growing up, like just kind of playing around exploring, which I think is really natural. And a lot of girls do do this. But the other girl's mom, like caught them. And ever since then, she's been totally, like, quite have quite a lot of disgust in relation to her vagina. And finds it really, really hard to let her partner to give her oral sex. Yeah, because of this huge, like shaming experience about the vagina. The vagina is never quite eventually, like five or something, five or six. Yeah. Yeah. So it's powerful. Like these things go in, like, really deep into the psyche.
Yeah. All right. We're gonna we're going to get to some of these questions now.
Bit of a detail with someone like. So, yeah. When I put the questions out there, a lot of people came back with saying that their libido has disappeared since having babies. So around the postpartum sex, loss of libido, lack of confidence, and also said mind over matter with pain, so can you touch on those, please?
Okay. So, this, we talked about libido and um, so it's, so things change like postpartum like hormonally, especially if you're breastfeeding. You're getting a lot of oxytocin and your body which is there, like the cuddle, the cuddle hormone. You know, so it's different, like your body doesn't, like have the desires are different that doesn't, you know, as your body has been given the right chemical concoction for you to be nurturing for your baby. And so it is something different like to be having a sexual relationship with your partner. You know, it's a different, it's a different kind of concoction of chemicals that brings that like, desire for sex but on the same token, if women waited around until they had desire, then you're going to probably wait your whole life. Because actually desire what happens in your body, sexual arousal precedes desire. So, what that means is, you only feel sexual desire when you feel sexual arousal. So, you kind of have to just get on with it, that's the thing, you just have to create a space which allows you to just get on with it and just and giving your body, your mind, lots of positive reinforcement in the way of like, this is going to feel good. I'm looking forward to having some time of intimacy with my partner and also maybe moving away from the idea that all intimacy needs to involves penetration as well, because it's natural that we definitely still want some, like connecting time and intimacy. And like, that sense of connection with your partner is really important, I think, during that time as well for both of you and for the relationship. And so yeah, so the libido is kind of goes back to what I said before about if you, you don't use it, you lose it kind of thing. So the longer you leave it, the less sexual desire. It's like this, it's like your desire just starts like disappearing off more and more and more. Whereas if you can bring it, bring it online and actually start doing something, whether that means self-pleasuring first and exploring your body getting maybe comfortable with how it feels because it's going to feel different, particularly if you've had a vaginal birth, you know, your vagina is going to feel different. I think it's sometimes it's great to like actually have a look like a lot of women think, like really, really different and have a lot of fear around that. But actually, when you look in the mirror, you can start to come into connection with it actually being really beautiful, and might not look beautiful initially to you, it can be a little shocking, or surprise, or whatever emotions come up. But actually, having a look can be really useful. And also to see that it's not actually broken. Like it's actually okay. Like I've had work with a woman when I do bodywork with women post-childbirth to help with healing. And a lot of the time they think this is like, really, like all four kind of thing is going on down there. But actually, when we have a look, it's like, ah, okay, that's not so bad. All right. And that can help I think with helping you to relax with a partner as well. Because if you've got all the story going on about like, I'm broken, like, my vagina is like terrible now, like all this kind of stuff, that's not going to help you to relax. So yeah, having coming into connection with yourself again will be really important. And then the pain. So, does that feel like enough around libido?
Yeah, that's and thank you and I can fully vouch for that. Just getting into it. Because you know, sometimes I really well be like nah about to sleep. But every time when we do have sex and I'm really glad we did that.
Always. Always. You'd never regret doing it. That's worth it.
Yeah, totally. And it just gonna helps the bonding and relationship. Like if you're having sex regularly, everything else is easier. Like you argue less, you're just it's something about the alignment, like when you're aligned with your partner. And actually, it doesn't always have to be penetrative sex, actually just spending some time lying down and like a little bit of eye gazing or even not eye gazing. Just like cuddling and leading your, you're facing each other, and you know, your breath kind of gets aligned. And maybe you're kissing a little bit. All those kind of things that you used to do when you first meet someone. You kind of just like hang out, you know, you just kind of like an aura of this amazing beam that you've met. Just sort of like just want to like hang out and look at them. More of those kind of things that you do will actually help you as well to feel like having sex with them as well. Because if you're feeling quite disconnected, you know you're like busy looking after a baby and you're busy doing all of that. You just don't have that connection. So, whatever you do to bring a better connection back will help you feel, will feel more like. You're actually naturally might unfold into sex.
Yeah. Beautiful.
Yeah. Yeah, that's a huge thing. Actually, eye gazing every day as an exercise I often give to couples, and it helps hugely in a relationship. Just not trying to talk things through all the time. Actually just hanging out, just slowing down a little bit.
How long would you suggest people eye gazing?
Five minutes, you can set a timer. Timer is good. So, then you don't wonder how long you're going to be doing it for. And they're not wondering how long they can have to do this for.
And it's like a staring competition?
Kind of but usually your eyes relax.
Gentle way.
Yeah. And you can let your eyes get blurry and you just look into one eye, you tend to look into the left eye. It's seen as like the gateway to the soul but you can try the right eye and see if it feels different. You'll probably notice it will. But yeah, it's just really that like, that's quite a structured like exercise I get people to do just to get them used to the idea of slowing down and looking at each other and taking a bit of time every day to just connect. Yeah, so in whatever way that looks like. Other ways are just like lying down on the bed together and just kind of just kind of looking. No talking. We talk too much. Yeah, it is sweet. Yeah, it's really sweet. I know. And then you're looking and all of a sudden your heart melts, and you're like, oh, and then you doesn't know what else might unfold.
Beautiful. I love that.
Yeah. So pain, pain is really, obviously really, really common post-childbirth, because you might have had stitches or whatever. And I will use the word trauma because you know, there's actually a trauma that your body goes through. Like it's not, it's pretty outside of the normal range of day-to-day life. And I haven't had children so, I don't know this from experience. I know this from working with other woman and hearing other woman's stories. And really with the pain like ideally, you want to go and see somebody, a pelvic floor physio that gives you internal massage or somebody who does holistic pelvic care and have them give you a little bit of bodywork, that's the like the ideal. And in France, every woman receives 10 sessions post-childbirth with this kind of work with this internal work and getting everything, getting all the muscles, like firing properly, stopping any urine leakage, like getting all the pelvic health like totally back. And part of that is working with the any scar tissue. And it's amazing. Like when I work with women, they may have had pain for months, and then one session that pain or unwind, it can often feel like a bit of a pinprick. Quite quite sharp, pinprick pain. And it's like the body just as soon as you have somebody do a little bit of like, touch with prisons, it's like your body just melts. It's like, ah, okay, I can relax now and the pain will go. So, obviously, it's not always the case, just on one session, but that often is. So, it's something if anyone is experiencing that I would so highly recommend reaching out and getting some help there because once you have like repeated experiences of painful sex, it's like your body starts to tense up expecting pain. And the more you do that, the longer it takes to kind of unwind that, you know?
Yeah, so get on top of it now.
Yeah, the sooner the better.
Yeah, actually.
And six weeks after birth, you can do it.
You can see someone and don't think of something that you need to live with.
No, it's not like. I know that's probably so common that people just think of this like the same with like leaking. Like urine like, you know, oh, it's so everybody has that kind of thing. And it's like, doesn't mean that it can't be fixed.
Exactly and is it that just because it's common doesn't mean it's normal.
Exactly. Yes, totally. And the pain is like, no woman should be having pain during sex. Like that is just not going to be good. This will get all of your pleasure, like you only like every time you feel pain, you'll go back like 10 steps. And then you're not really able to be there. So, yeah.
Thank you for sharing that. Now, we probably have time for one more question before we talk about your book going on, which is very exciting. And I think, I'd really like to touch on this one. So, I had a couple of questions around vaginal orgasms. So, people were asking about vaginal orgasms with penetration only. I think someone also else mentioned, I think they found the whole idea of a vaginal orgasm quite elusive.
Yeah. Yeah. People want to like, discover there's like this list isn't there's. The kind of orgasms that one could have, like Google.
Have had that one.
Have you had this one? It's interesting, I have, like, my perspective a little bit on this is, is that our bodies are amazing. And lots of incredible things can unfold if we are open to it and something about like choosing kind of like a sort of as a bit of a masculine thing, like saying, I'm going to have this sort of orgasm or that sort of orgasm, it's quite goal-oriented. But it is also good to know that, yes, you can have orgasms from all different parts of your genitals. In fact, some people can even orgasm, without even their genitals being touched, with their just their nipples or their ear, or their neck. I know it sounds amazing. And it's kind of like it's a training thing. It's like you, you get really, you get really good at doing it one way. And neurologically, you have this like pleasure highway, which involves touch in a certain way, touch with a certain pressure or friction. You know, and that comes into, like the position that you can have an orgasm and during sex and like, only be able to have an orgasm one way and you know, gets quite limited. You know, that's the truth but like, it's definitely easier if you can have pleasure in different ways. And all it takes is training. It's like, I don't know if you've heard of, have you heard of Pavlov's dogs?
Yes, most people heard this experiment. Yes. So, rings the bell and they salivate because whenever they heard the bell, they hit the food. So, it's kind of like the same with you, with your vagina. But now that might be too graphic. But yeah, if you, the way to do it. What you want to do is you want to train your body to have new highways to pleasure. And so what you might do is you bring your arousal app and your body and the way that you know, whether that's through clitoral stimulation, with a vibrator, with whatever it is that you tend to do. And then what you want to do is you want to start touching another part of your vagina, say internally, and there's a couple of structures inside that gorgeous, like swell with blood when you get aroused or just any place internally. And if you start to stimulate yourself in this new place, while you're already aroused, and then maybe your arousal drops off a little bit. So, you go back to your clitoris again. And then you go back to your vagina about you're clitoris. And then over time, what will happen is your vagina will just become like wired into your pleasure network. And then you'd be able to have an orgasm purely from stimulation of, say, a particular place internally. And then it's like, wow, that's great. You know, it's great for loads of reasons, one that, you know, you no longer have to have sex, like this one specific way. You've now you're like broadening these ways that you can enjoy intimacy. And also, it's just something so liberating about. I guess, it's just like, how my body can do it. It's like, I thought there was something wrong with me or, you know, everybody else can do it. And I thought maybe there was something different. And it's like, no, it's not.
Yeah, I guess it comes back to taking that time as well. That time and that patience and that caring.
Yeah, yeah, you have to kind of like train yourself. So, when I was learning all these techniques I like was over a few years but by the time I got to like this one symmetric seats, coaching, training, I was like, okay, I can have an orgasm for my clitoris, takes quite a lot of work. I use quite a lot of muscle tension, you know, clinch and all these sorts of things. I was like okay, what if I could, what if it could be different? And so, I just started. So, I'd be like, okay, I'm not allowed to touch my clitoris. So, I would like bringing the arousal on there, but I don't allow anyone to. No, no. Not allowed. And then eventually, I was able to get some from somewhere totally different and it was like wow because orgasm is really, really different. So, there's a place for the perennial sponge which is internally and downwards. You have your G spot which is internally and towards the front, what about your Cervix? And it also just got all the walls of your vagina. Yeah, so you can like have these different experiences.
Lots of places.
Yeah. For a lot of place, or just the lips of your like your labia or yeah. Takes a little bit of body training. Yeah, so you have to kind of commit to these things. I suppose it's like a few of learning plan instrument, you will actually have to practice. You just have to discipline.
Learning to play the instrument of your vagina.
Yes. Definitely. It is.
It's worth putting in that practice to become knowledgeable in an Olympic get of pleasure.
Yeah, I feel like, I like the musical instrument. It's like this, like Symphony, you do something it can emerge?
Yeah, and it's empowering them because then you know, then when you're with a partner, you can actually have pleasure and not be efforting all the time. Like, am I gonna have an orgasm? Am I not gonna have an orgasm? Oh, I'm almost there and that's we do, you know, you kind of relax a lot more because you trust that your body is able to?
Uh-huh. Yeah.
And it just feels better that you can feel them inside you or you can feel? Yeah, you actually just have more sensitivity.
Wonderful. Thank you. Now, before I let you go, can you please tell us a little bit more about your upcoming retreats and programs for women?
Yeah, I would love to. Yeah, so I have the kind of creme de la creme kind of part is the retreat that's coming up in New Zealand at a Hot Springs Resort in the mountains in July. So, that's going to be really, really amazing experience of space and time for your body and, and don't be afraid it's not going to be like getting a vagina out and learning to, I don't know do all these things, or whatever we've been talking about but it will be learning ways to really keep you very present in your body and learning techniques and things that you can yeah, does expand your experience of orgasm and we'll be doing lots of ritual and hanging out in their private hot pool that we have. And yeah, just having a beautiful time to fully embody and awaken this incredible erotic you. And I was called ceci siren as my offerings at the moment. The ceci, the ceci empowered woman who is, who loves to be seen, who loves to be adored, and who loves to be celebrated. So, yeah, it's gonna be fun. And then I have a two-months online program that women can take part in. And they can, and you can do private sessions as well. So there's like, an option to work with me privately but the online option is so that you can do that from anywhere in the world and we'll meet once a week with a small group. So, it's about the connection as well and will be to speed learning, learning practices going home, have your home play to do. And the most powerful thing of all of this is like with almost, don't even really need to do anything. All we need to do is turn up and talk about sex and then you will go home and you will have more sexual desire. And you will be releasing the shame and you'll find it easier. So yeah, it's kind of interesting that I do teach techniques, but you almost don't need to teach anything. Just seem to talk, just say to bring women together and talk and share.
Yeah, totally. And life will be better.
And life will be better. Yeah.
Getting to know yourself, having orgasms, life will be better.
Yeah. Have more orgasms, life will be better. Your work will be easier, your relationship will be better.

Goddess.
Yeah, we could call it the Goddess for sure. Yeah, I was at the client. I was talking with with a woman who is going to work with me. Just before this call and, and she was just saying how like, what she's realized in her life is that she just hasn't really, she doesn't really know how to move towards pleasure. Like we get really practiced it, like working through tough things. And she just doesn't like the whole idea of like, being a pleasure being, it's just so radical. And that's why she wants to work with me because she was like, I see that you're, you know, that you're like in your body and you're like, sensuous and yeah. And I think that's one of the biggest things is just waking up to this aliveness.
You do sense that when you're in your presence, though, you do have that effect on people.
Yeah, I'm all about the sensuousness' of life.
Just it's pretty, pretty awesome. Yeah.
Yeah. That's why we're going to hotsprings for my retreat because I'm all about like, the sensation and the experience and the food that we eat and the smells and the you know, the sides that kind of like richness of life that's available.

Gender-based discrimination in education is both a cause and a consequence of deep-rooted disparities in society.

Q: based on zip code show shipping rate drupal 7 for my site based on zip code  shipping rate different if zip code in listed in my zip code then shipping rate zero other wise shipping rate add 15$ how it perform in drupal 7. i am not using drupal commerce.

A: First thing ,your question is vague, its not properly explained.
Now , how are you trying to render that value , is it through Views or  Custom Theme via custom module. If you are using Custom module , then you have more control over how you want to render that value just applying simple logic pulling data from database.
Alternatively if you are using the Views to render the value, I would suggest using 'hook_views_pre_render()' to alter the final value.
