How do you feel about your body? What a loaded question right?! Most of us, at some point in our lives will feel self conscious about our bodies. Obviously the diet and wellness industries have been harnessing our insecurities to sell products that promote this sense of needing to look a certain way.

Dissociation is something people who have experienced trauma are often very good at. It helps people get on with daily living and have relationships. Often the ability to dissociate is what allowed them to survive difficult childhoods or past experiences. However it can become habitual and prevent people from living a present and connected life. During sex, many people find it hard to stay present in their body and with their experience, but of course- present in your body is the only place you can experience sexual pleasure.

Rod's message is particularly for men who are in relationships with women. He says; My gift is to guide men in discovering their own unique path of becoming a man.

A life that includes meditation, a thriving career they love, making love with their woman, making a contribution in the world, whilst also going fishing, surfing, motorbike riding, 4WDriving or any other interest you may have. And a man who knows how to evoke the full range of love in his woman. Find out more about Rod here; https://martinahughes.com/pages/about-us
