This is a theme I've noticed a lot over the past year. Does this sound like you? You have come to the seduction community, or the Law of Attraction community, or the tapping community, or to any self-improvement community of any kind because you are frustrated with your life. Maybe it's your love life, maybe it's your financial life, maybe it's because you don't have a life passion and purpose

This morning I received a comment on the last post:Erika here is a fable that reminds me of what happened between you and E. I think it reaches farther than that to all PUAs and potential PUAS.A Scorpion wants to cross a river, but he can't swim. He goes to the frog, who can, and asks for a ride. Frog says, "If I give you a ride on my back, you'll go and sting me." Scorpion replies, "It would not

I had an interesting conversation last night with a very well-known PUA. I respect him a lot and am very open to his ideas.The conversation reminded me, however, just how radically different my approach is from nearly every other teacher in the community.Some examples:Several people recently have told me there is a lot of negative gossip about me in the community. Some told me in a protective

By expressing her truth fully, regardless of what others might think.By allowing herself to have all of her feelings as they arise.And it doesn't hurt that she's now en route to Vegas for four days of dancing and romancing ... and that she still gets carded on a regular basis, including just now at the airport wine bar :)Vegas, here we come!!

Feeling deep sadness tonight

2010-01-05T23:11:00.000-08:00

After anger clears, we get to what is really underneath all anger: grief.As a blogger and a coach, I could sit here and pretend never to get sad. I could bombard you all with "positive thinking" all the time. But that's not what gets people healed. What gets people healed is feeling all of their emotions in all their fullness, without judging them. People desperately need to be heard, exactly

I hope when I lapse into judgment that people will send me love too. Did you know that if a

Inviting men to a whole new level of intimacy ...

2009-12-27T21:03:00.000-08:00

You really want women to move closer to you, super super super close?I'm at an unfair advantage in this department because of the kind of coaching I do. I don't give very much advice, because advice generally doesn't work. Instead, I move into my clients' own experience and help them transform it from the inside.Well, that, my friends, is intimacy. It's not telling someone what to do. It's

Postscript re "Love is a gift"

2009-12-27T09:00:00.000-08:00

Yeah, sorry Fritz and Harvey, I realize that I adopted you and you've come to depend on me. If I had not adopted you, someone else probably would have, and you'd have a nice warm home today.But didn't anyone tell you, "love is a gift." And I just don't feel like feeding you today. You knew it might not work out. Stop being so needy. Stop being so dramatic. You were never promised anything.

My anger is sexy :)

2009-12-26T11:44:00.000-08:00

Wow, am I feeling triggered.I just had another guy on Facebook spout out the "love is a gift, I shouldn't have to make any commitments in my life" line of bullshit.E. loves that one. Not man enough to face me, E.?Anyway, look and listen up, fuckers.Love may be a gift, but that doesn't mean you can go around doing whatever the fuck you want without any consequences. Let me give you some examples

How karma works ... reflections on joint LR

2009-12-23T20:19:00.000-08:00

I was reflecting today, rather quietly, about how things went with Entropy.I've wondered for quite a while how he managed to do what he did and still be able to look himself in the mirror. Cultivate a woman's trust for months. Become one of her best friends. Give her emotional support when she needs it, so she comes to count on you. Know that she has been celibate for a long time and doesn't

Cockblocked by a Sex Coach ;)

2009-12-23T18:39:00.000-08:00

Last night was really hilarious.I had these big plans to have sex and more ...And then ... just the day before, I had just been thinking of Destin Gerek (from Erotic Rockstar), and yesterday out of the blue I received a text message from him wanting to talk with me.Destin called me early evening, said he'd been reading my blog posts, and questioned whether it was really a good idea for me to be

Poly Community? Your Input Please

2009-12-21T19:00:00.000-08:00

Hey, recently it has become apparent that I have a large number of friends who could potentially be interested in forming a poly community.Anyone have experience with this and/or an established community here in the Bay Area?Feel free to email me at erika.awakening@gmail.com ...

Cool orgasmic discovery

2009-12-21T08:25:00.001-08:00

Justin and I have been hanging out, and a lot of energy is coming up to be cleared for me, which is good. I noticed feeling blocked this morning, not much sensitivity and so forth.On pure intuition, I started using some acupressure on one of my meridians. Presto -- the energy opened right up, all the way from flushing my face down to my toes. Swirling kundalini energy and much higher

Crossing the line: Erika's PUA bangfest

2009-12-19T07:19:00.000-08:00

Lol, there has been this incredible clarity over the past 24 hours. Why didn't I see it before. It's so obvious.I talked a few posts ago about "crossing the line." How to "be really whole, and all things will come to you" (sound like non-verbal seduction, btw?) ... we must integrate *all* of the perspectives and not be rigidly stuck in any one perspective.Well ... of course. Duh. Why would a

Integrating the Shadow: Erika's promiscuous phase begins ...

2009-12-18T20:32:00.000-08:00

Waiting for J to arrive for our evening of tandem sarging, and ...All right, well, enough talk of Shadow Selves and electric fences.Sometimes if you want a change, you gotta shake things up.If I'm going to integrate these unhelpful karmas and get past this crap, then I'm going to need to do what I did with every other area of my life that got cleaned up ...Face the Dark Side head on ...Thus, I am

Tantra is not just for hippies anymore ...

2009-12-17T23:56:00.000-08:00

And it looks like there's going to be some tandem sarging and threesomes this weekend.That's all the energy I have to write right now ... Lol :-p

The End of Separation

2009-12-15T08:45:00.001-08:00

Famous quotation from the Tao:"Be really whole, and all things will come to you."What does this mean in practical terms?I've often said that seduction is a way of transcending the separation.To be really whole and transcend separation, we must see everything from all sides.Every brother or sister who shows up on your doorstep (or in your email box or texts) is a gift. He or she is giving you an

Impasse: Inviting a quantum leap

2009-12-14T06:05:00.000-08:00

Well, in spite of all efforts to get this show back on the road again, I find myself back in the space I was in when I went on strike in late October. At an impasse. Which is an invitation for a quantum leap.I've stepped off a lot of hamster wheels. My feminine energy seems to be in full effect. Here are the needs that need to get met:1. Emotional support: permanent partnership. I don't

Tandem Sarging and New EFT Audio re Polyamory Etc.

2009-12-12T19:15:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone,I'm about to jump in the shower because Johnny and I are going tandem sarging. Lol :-p ... It really is amazing how my sense of humor came back ...Before I go, here is another audio from Gayla and me.As with the other audios, you can tap along to borrow benefits.

Girly feelings ...

2009-12-12T15:22:00.000-08:00

This morning I finally got my new iPhone 3Gs, and it is so beautiful and so fast. I love it. Almost $500. Didn't pay a penny. Thank you, Mysterious Benefactor Guy :)Then I did a powerful EFT session with someone, and we released a lot of negative energies, including generations' worth of ancestral karma. We invited in a generous helping of self-love and self-acceptance.Now, it's cold and

Embracing Your Shadow, in a nutshell - magical three-step exercise

2009-12-12T09:10:00.000-08:00

I get a lot of questions about Shadow work, which I've written several articles about, most recently here on the Spiritual Seduction site.This may be one of the most powerful and under-utilized methods of transformation that is available to us. Your entire life will transform, rapidly, if you do nothing else but adopt this habit:1. Every time you feel triggered by anyone or anything (meaning,

How I got my sense of humor back ... ;)

2009-12-11T08:21:00.000-08:00

Wow, the past few weeks have been amazing! Major energetic shifts on several fronts. I feel light and happy again. My sense of humor has returned. I'm excited for Johnny Soporno's workshop in Vegas in January because I get to see a bunch of my favorite guys. I attribute this new lightness to the deeper work I've been doing over the past couple of months. Essentially I looked at my life at

Hamster wheels, mixed feelings about marketing, and expansion of sexual healing offer

2009-12-10T19:12:00.001-08:00

If you listened to yesterday's audio, you may have noticed my "hamster wheel" reference. This is a term I use to describe situations where our ego has enticed us to believe, on a continuing basis, sometimes for years, that we're "about to" get something we want, if we will only just "change this or tweak that." This is the antithesis of self-love and self-acceptance, which knows that we are

Tapping Audio re Intimacy and Self-Worth

2009-12-09T22:17:00.000-08:00

Gayla and I produced a third EFT tapping audio (one hour long) covering deep intimacy issues. I really want to honor Gayla for her willingness to be vulnerable and honest. By listening to this audio, you are basically witnessing a woman open herself to you, revealing her hopes and fears. Many women will relate to Gayla's experience. Men can learn a lot from it.As I mentioned with the previous

Another free tapping audio with Erika and Gayla

2009-12-09T08:35:00.001-08:00

Here is the second audio that I promised in yesterday's post. We are covering some fascinating issues about being present with a new man when other connections with men may feel unresolved, and also about the confusion in our society about masculine and feminine energies. We do a lot of what I call "inner conflict tapping" to allow the confused voices within to be integrated.Although this audio

Tap along with Erika and Gayla - releasing blocks to receiving

2009-12-08T21:13:00.000-08:00

Well, I am pretty excited. My friend and blog commenter Gayla (you can see her blog here) co-created a couple of tapping audios tonight to share with you.For the uninitiated, we are doing Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or tapping) on the audio. We were focusing on common blocks to receiving (which can be in any area, from compliments, to love, to money), and tapping together to clear them

Erika's Connection Manifesto

2009-12-06T12:07:00.001-08:00

I didn't feel like going out last night, so I didn't. I rarely do anything anymore because I think I "should" do it. This week I went to a few holiday parties, and although at one level I enjoyed the festivities, I noticed a few things too. I've just come out of several weeks of doing very little other than meditating. What I noticed first and foremost about the parties was how loud they were

The limits of "assuming it's on" ...

2009-12-05T14:35:00.001-08:00

Because I do have a blog, where I can write pretty much anything I want, I am going to vent a bit about a pet peeve of mine.I feel really annoyed when (some) men assume that if a woman sends them a friendly text message or email, this is a sign of sexual interest. If that were true, then I would be lining up my sexual partners for the next five years because I have a LOT of male friends.It is

Sex: the Electric Fence

2009-12-03T17:50:00.000-08:00

Someone sent me a text message asking how I reconcile the last two posts (transmuting karma and tandem sarging).Easy. Either it's the same guy for both, or it'll be tandem sarging with last minute resistance (LMR), my specialty. There's a lot to be said for cuddling and hanging out without doing the deed. On that note, I have pretty much come back around to the view I had a year ago: I have

Help wanted: Karma transmuting partner

2009-12-03T08:11:00.000-08:00

On a slightly more serious note than yesterday ... after spending the past few years transmuting my karma in pretty much every other area of my life ... the final frontier awaits: sex.It seems pretty clear based on my experiences over the past six years that I've got some pretty messed up karma in this area. As long as I don't get sexually involved with a guy, our relationship will be enduring,

Help wanted: Tandem Sarging Partner

2009-12-02T17:55:00.000-08:00

Now that I'm feeling happy again, and also a teensy bit bored, it's time to shake things up a bit. I'm also feeling inspired by the fact that Johnny Soporno's Porn Convention bootcamp is just around the corner. We had so much fun last year! This is not a beginner's bootcamp. This is some of the sexiest men in the world gathering together to become even sexier. I am very excited :)Meanwhile,

Erika's Financial Aid Program: Tap for Cash

I'm not going to give you the fish, but I will teach you how to fish.Please note that I only accept extremely committed and motivated clients nowadays (you

Taking full responsibility ... the pain and the power :)

2009-11-30T17:59:00.000-08:00

Wow, wow, wow. What huge revelations for me over this past week ...You know, it was not accidental that I used the image of a genie to promote my 15-week Miracle Coaching Program a few weeks ago. The Universe is waiting to giving us exactly what we want, just like the genie in the bottle. The only problem is that the Universe is waiting for very clear instructions from us. If we give it mixed

The importance of staying connected

2009-11-30T01:28:00.000-08:00

Because our Word is very powerful, I rewrote an article that I published last year, and you can find the new version on Spiritual Seduction here.Although I have previously lived in a Glass House on this issue, it has become increasingly obvious to me over the past year how important it is that we make a commitment to stay connected to the people in our lives even when things get messy or rough or

On vulnerability ... and the "guru" problem

2009-11-29T13:50:00.000-08:00

A few posts back, I wrote about strategies people use to avoid their own pain. You can read that article here. I break a lot of taboos in the dating/coaching industry on a regular basis, and that is very intentional on my part. One of the biggest taboos that I break is revealing my own pain and sticking points, contemporaneously, as I'm working them out. That's a taboo because most of the

The Pesky Ego

2009-11-29T09:17:00.001-08:00

Lol, I'm having a very humorous realization right now.First of all, I woke up feeling downright cheerful. I had also received a large number of encouraging messages and posts on Facebook overnight, so that bolstered my good mood.And now I'm sitting here in wonderment, very shortly to begin a call with a client, and wondering when my ego is ever going to let up.We all have ego still, but in

Dating as a Coach, part 2

This is a follow-up to the previous article, which you can read here. In my ongoing experimentation with mixing dating and coaching ...It turns out the sexy guy from Wednesday's date is down to do an EFT session with me on our next date. He seems really open to it, actually, which is refreshing. I told him that I'm very unorthodox and that we can drink wine while we do it, and he picked up

What's the girl equivalent of "cocky"?

2009-11-27T20:18:00.000-08:00

Tonight I'm feeling the girl equivalent of "cocky" for the first time in quite a while ...so I'm celebrating by hanging out with my dad, drinking a lovely Shiraz, and cross-posting over at Spiritual Seduction. You can check out my girl equivalent of cockiness over there...:-)

Dating as a Coach

2009-11-26T11:44:00.000-08:00

I posted over on Spiritual Seduction today and will probably continue to post over there, so please make sure you sign up for the RSS feed. Last night I went on a date with a guy I just met, and it raised some intriguing questions for me.He was very sexy. There was pretty instant chemistry. He seemed grounded and reflective. I was feeling extremely present for the first time in a while, which

Which comes first, sex or marriage? And musings about pain and connection ...

2009-11-25T06:24:00.000-08:00

Before getting in to this question, I want to take a moment to talk about pain. What is pain? Most people don't think of it this way, but it's almost always an inner conflict. We feel pain because the self is divided. This is why dualistic thinking such as judgment is so painful for both the person judging and the person being judged. By dividing the world into "good" and "bad," we create

Ah, some healing at last :-)

2009-11-23T18:27:00.000-08:00

The way I go about all this is very unconventional, but it definitely works.So I wasn't sure what the sticking point was with healing myself after the breakup with E. I knew I had not received sufficient empathy. My posting blog posts was my way of meeting that need. I definitely would have preferred to meet it through conversations with him. But where we don't have the participation of the

There are no rules :-)

2009-11-22T09:30:00.000-08:00

In the past few weeks, you may have noticed I've broken pretty much every rule and dating taboo in the book.I get a LOT of emails from guys (and girls) asking me for advice about this situation or that situation. Most of them are looking for rules. A rule they can "apply" to tell them "what to do." I understand the longing for rules. We think somehow if there is a "formula" for life, then we
