The Wheel of Life
The wheel of life is a wonderful tool for self-discovery. It can be used during the Flowering Tree exercise but it stands alone as a way to gain a better understanding of our life. The positive and negative uses of the male and female energies will give us an example of behaviors that we may have seen illustrated by others or in our own behavior. Remember, we all hold male and female inside ourselves. Women will be capable of both positive and negative uses of male energy and visa versa. Familiarity with the behaviors associated with the directions on the wheel will make it easier to recognize negativity when we see it. When we know someone is using negative energy we can either try to help them, if they are receptive, or avoid them in order to protect ourselves. Helping a person who is using negative energy is demonstrated by simply showing them love, listening to them and asking questions that will lead them to discover more about how they feel and finding better ways to express themselves. It does not entail telling them how to live their life. If we recognize this negative behavior in our own actions we have taken the first step in moving towards using energy in a more positive fashion. It is wise to think about one's behavior often, especially if one is unaccustomed to the practice.

Life As I Know It
Life As I Know It. Please don’t tell me I need to keep a positive attitude. I deal with my RA every day, and so I know just how emotionally and physically dangerous giving in to depression can be. Despair is awful and I wish (more than you know) that I could simply “snap out” of it when that feeling takes hold. I know you mean well when you to tell me not to let it get me down, but telling someone with a chronic disease that they “need to keep a positive attitude” is condescending – it makes me feel as if you’re diminishing what I’m going through. Your well-intentioned pep talk doesn’t help me rise above it at all, it leaves me feeling as if I’ve somehow failed.

How to Have Coregasms
How to have coregasms has been the object of a lot of scientific research in the recent times. The idea of coregasm or exercise induced orgasm (EIO) shows clearly that there is a close relationship between exercise and sex. Both sex and exercise can make you sweat profusely and boost the level of endorphin in your blood. This in turn leads to the usual sexual pleasurable feelings. The endorphin boosts, whether from sex or exercise, is very beneficial for your heart and overall wellbeing. Recent researches show that exercise-induced-orgasms occur mostly through core or a lower abdominal exercise, which is why it is termed coregasm. Coregasms are basically used to describe an orgasm a woman achieves during physical exercises although a more recent research has found that that 10 percent of both men and women can equally experience coregasm.

22 Life Hacks That Can Save Your Life
These facts can save your life, so read and remember these little survival hacks: Flammable and inflammable mean exactly the same thing. If you or someone you know is stabbed or punctured by a sharp object, do not remove it. The object is preventing blood from gushing out. Do not turn your back on someone holding a gun to you - it is much easier for them to shoot you if they don't have to look you in the eye. If you are stuck in a riptide, stay calm and swim parallel to the shore. Do not walk down the stairs with your hands in your pockets, because if you trip and fall you cannot protect yourself by throwing your arms out. Crocodiles are very fast in a straight line, but do not turn well. If you are being chased after by a croc, run in zig-zags. If you ever almost drown to the point of throwing up water or passing out, even if you feel 100% fine, go to the hospital. Your lungs can actually unwittingly self-fill up with fluid over the next few hours. Should you run out of water, you can eat snow to stay hydrated but it is probably not the best idea because your body uses a ton of energy converting one form of matter to another.
