Touch, Transference and the Tantric Relationship

tantric touch

Guest post by Taryn 

I was madly in the process of scribbling some notes on the topic of ‘touch’, taking into account all that I’ve learned over the past few years working with clients when I got a clear message; not everyone understands the deeper resonance of touch or the energetic aspect and its power to heal relationships, whether that be with our self or with others.

The inherent value of human receptors being able to sense physical touch is a remarkable evolutionary tool that helps us to connect and ultimately bond with another living being. This is nature’s way of comforting us, ensuring that a) we procreate and b) we survive well into adulthood. Continue reading →

How to Use Your Psychic Guidance for Finding Your Soul Mate Lover

soul mate lovers

One of the most common questions I get asked as a Tarot reader is if a lover is right for them… ‘Is he the One?.’ I also sometimes get asked which out of two (or more) lovers is the best match. I must admit I hesitate to answer the question in terms of ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ because someone who is not right for longer term may still be right in terms of bringing a particular lesson…

That said, deep down we all wish that there is a way for us to know beyond any shadow of a doubt that he or she is the right one, the one our soul has been yearning for since as far back as we can remember. The good news is, you do have a way of knowing! All your life, you will have been drawn to one or more specific traits, quirks or characteristics, often without being able to explain why.

For instance, you may be able to look at the shape of a potential partner’s ears and just know that they are ‘wrong’ because in your mind you have a template of your soul mate’s ears. Or you could have a thing for a particular nationality. Continue reading →

Why your ex gets in touch just when you’ve found someone new and how to know what he is after

love triangle

This post was inspired by a question from a reader. She wanted to know why her ex’s always seemed to get back in touch every time she had found someone new. My reply was:

Oh, it is simple. They feel the energetic connection fading and they want to know why – on a subconscious level of course… but they’ll still act on it!

If you stayed emotionally attached to your ex and found it hard to let go after the break-up, it is likely you had a push-you-pull-me relationship varying from slightly to highly co-dependent where he was in an avoidance pattern (expressed as commitment phobia) and you were in pattern of neediness (often based on abandonment issues).
