Summary

The Kama Sutra, is an ancient Indian text widely considered to be the standard work on human sexual behavior in Sanskrit literature written by the Indian scholar Vatsyayana. A portion of the work consists of practical advice on sex. Kāma means sensual or sexual pleasure, and sūtra are the guidlines of yoga, the word itself means thread in Sanskrit.

The Kama Sutra is the oldest and most notable of a group of texts known generically as Kama Shastra). Traditionally, the first transmission of Kama Shastra or "Discipline of Kama" is attributed to Nandi the sacred bull, Shiva's doorkeeper, who was moved to sacred utterance by overhearing the lovemaking of the god and his wife Parvati and later recorded his utterances for the benefit of mankind.

    I am a man! I suppose this is not news to you since you read my name on the cover of this book. However, what may be news to you or some of your friends is that we men often have a difficult time making commitments to those special women in our lives. That is why this book exists. It should serve as a wake up call to all unmarried men who have chosen to hang around women for long periods of time behaving like you are in a committed relationship, yet will not seal the deal. There is some virtue that drew you to that special woman in your life, and if you continue to see that value in her, why not commit all that you are, and all that you have to her. This book is my attempt to sound an alarm for my brothers to love these women or leave them alone. Do not trifle with their hearts any longer. They are awakening to the fact that some will never come around, and are wearied by hopes that have been repeatedly dashed to the ground. Nobody’s saying you need to get married if you are not ready, but if she is, you have some real soul searching to do, and I hope this little book will help. The chapter titles are each power statements to represent the mindset of some women who are ready for a commitment, or to move on with their lives – NOW. Women are devoted creatures and might even play along for a while, hoping their man might see the light she is shining upon him. A mature man will open his eyes and peer into the light. He will let it penetrate his mind and heart. It will create the eternal bond, which will carry the happy couple to overwhelming happiness. The fact is that many women are patient to a fault. They convince themselves that they can work with guys who seem to be taking a bit longer to commit to marriage. So men, do not let this opportunity slip through your fingers due to a lack of courage or insecure feelings. Seize the moment your woman is granting you now and live a blissful life.

    God's love, plans, and promises for you are forever unfolding. I get it, Momma. I totally get it. Every day you wake up and try your very best. You love, give, and pour out your life for the ones who call you Momma. But no matter how much you offer, there are still days you feel as though you come up short. You worry, "Am I loving these babies enough? Is this ever going to get easier? Why does it seem like I am the only one who cannot balance it all?" Sometimes we just need hope (and maybe a long, uninterrupted nap). We need someone to help tune our hearts to the voice of the Father and to remind us that he has not forgotten about us.
    
    In Hope Unfolding, Becky Thompson is a friend who reminds you that you aren't alone and that God is still writing your story. She guides you to encounter the truth of God's presence that fuels you with not only strength but also a fresh confidence. And beyond gaining faith that tomorrow could be different, you find hope and purpose where you are standing today.An EChristian, Inc production.

    Dyslexia often causes children to feel a lack of confidence and lack of self-esteem that holds them back in both learning and social situations. Why not let your 11-16 year old dyslexic (or Dyspraxic) child try this gentle & relaxing, twin track self-help hypnotherapy recording? It helps them believe in themselves and feel more calm and confident about their abilities. In Track 1, they imagine a mental room with negative opinions and self doubt  which they scrub off the walls. Then they paint powerful, self-esteem boosting suggestions on to the walls in confident-colored paint. With these new empowering positive beliefs, they visualize the difference it makes to their lives. Track 2 gives specific suggestions for listening, focus, organisation of thinking, planning and getting down to work, various study and spelling strategies and for managing their time. All of this is done within a pleasantly relaxing framework. This successful approach is based on natural, safe, sound hypnotherapy principles: act out each positive step in the imagination and dramatically increase your chance of success in the real world. The recording uses state of the art technology. Lynda's gentle, English voice calms and re-assures as she gives suggestions for boosting confidence and self-esteem. As a former teacher and Clinical Hypnotherapist of many years standing, she has helped thousands of children world-wide through her audio-books. She has been featured in the press, TV and radio, and is the author of two widely acclaimed books on hypnotherapy for children and adults. Regular listening is the key to success!
