KETENANGAN ibu menjadi kunci penting saat proses melahirkan. Metode relaksasi hypnobirthing membantu melancarkan persalinan dan meminimalisasi rasa sakit.

Hamil dan melahirkan adalah anugerah yang luar biasa bagi wanita. Sayangnya, ibu hamil (bumil) kerap dihinggapi rasa takut dan cemas akan bayangan proses melahirkan yang sulit dan menyakitkan.

Lupakan segala mimpi buruk itu, karena proses persalinan sebetulnya tidak harus melalui rasa sakit yang menakutkan. Apalagi hingga menjerit-jerit.

Seorang bumil bisa saja melahirkan tanpa rasa sakit, atau dengan rasa sakit yang minimal. Salah satu cara yang ditawarkan adalah latihan relaksasi melalui teknik yang disebut hypnobirthing.

Metode itu berakar pada ilmu hipnosis dengan metode pendekatan kejiwaan yang memberi kesempatan untuk berkonsentrasi, fokus, dan rileks. Namun, tetap dengan kesadaran sepenuhnya.

Ahli hipnoterapi dari New Hampshire AS, Marie F Mongan sebagai orang yang pertama kali mengembangkan metode tersebut. Kemudian dipatenkan menjadi "hypnobirthing".

Intinya, prosedur hypnobirthing adalah memadukan self-hypnosis dan proses kelahiran alami. Ada proses penanaman sugesti positif ke alam bawah sadar, termasuk agar rasa sakit tidak muncul. Ingatlah bahwa semua sistem rasa dikendalikan di otak.

Jika alam bawah sadar sudah diprogram supaya tubuh tidak mengirim sinyal rasa sakit ke otak, rasa sakit pun tidak muncul. Namun, saat melakukannya, individu yang bersangkutan tetap dalam kondisi sadar.

Menurut ahli hipnoterapi klinis dari Pro V Clinic Jakarta, Lanny Kuswandi, relaksasi dengan hypnobirthing terutama ditujukan untuk kesehatan janin yang akan dilahirkan. Pasalnya, banyak pasien bumil melahirkan bayi dengan kondisi autis atau bahkan infeksi HIV. "Salah satu penyebabnya adalah proses kehamilan yang penuh tekanan atau stres," ungkap alumnus Sekolah Kebidanan St Carolus ini.

Hal utama dari hypnobirthing adalah ketenangan si ibu. Dengan terbiasanya ibu berlatih relaksasi, jalan lahir untuk janin akan lebih mudah terbuka sehingga proses persalinan tidak terlalu melelahkan. Kondisi rileks juga akan mendorong pengeluaran hormon endorphin atau yang kerap disebut hormon bahagia yang membantu menghilangkan rasa takut, tegang, dan kepanikan saat melahirkan.

"Latihan relaksasi bisa dimulai pada usia kehamilan berapa pun, bahkan sejak perencanaan kehamilan," katanya.

Pada tahap awal, bumil akan dipandu ahli hipnoterapi. Penanaman afirmasi dan sugesti ke alam bawah sadar bisa dilakukan dengan cara dan media apa pun. Misalnya, mendengarkan dan mengikuti ucapan hipnoterapis, latihan fokus dengan pendulum, teknik "memanjangkan tangan" hingga ke langit-langit, atau menggerakkan tangan dengan pikiran. Boleh juga dilakukan sambil berzikir.

"Setelah terbiasa, kita gampang melakukannya sendiri di rumah," kata Evariny Andriana, penulis buku Melahirkan Tanpa Rasa Sakit dengan Metode Relaksasi Hypnobirthing.

Manfaat yang dipetik dari latihan relaksasi, ungkapnya, tidak merasa sakit saat melahirkan putranya pada 25 Januari 2006 silam, hanya rasa mulas seperti nyeri haid.

Hamil, Lebih Nyaman dengan Hypnobirthing

MENJALANI proses kehamilan dan persalinan adalah hal yang tidak mudah bagi seorang ibu. Tak sedikit dari mereka yang menjalani proses ini dengan perjuangan yang sangat berat bahkan hingga mempertaruhkan nyawa sekalipun.

Untuk melewati proses itu, banyak hal yang perlu diperhatikan mulai dari kebutuhan fisik seperti gizi dan nutrisi hingga kebutuhan mental atau kejiwaan. Kedua kebutuhan ini harus seimbang karena berperan penting bagi setiap ibu saat melewati proses kehamilan hingga persalinan.

Satu hal yang adalah sering dilupakan tetapi sebenarnya sangat penting adalah ketenangan pikiran. Padahal, bila ketenangan jiwa dan pikiran tercapai, banyak keuntungan yang diperoleh ibu, mulai dari menghilangkan keluhan ringan seperti mual muntah dan pusing, mengurangi rasa sakit saat melahirkan, hingga pembentukan mental bayi sejak dalam kandungan.

Seperti diungkapkan clinical hypnoterapist dari ProV Clinic, Lanny Kuswandi, kondisi ketenangan pikiran pada prinsipnya menentukan kualitas kesehatan manusia di samping nutrisi. Pada ibu hamil, ketenangan pikiran juga memegang peran penting karena kondisi rileks akan memicu produksi endorfin sebagai anestesi alami yang akan menggantikan hormon pemicu rasa sakit (hormon stres).

"Endorfin itu sangat mempengaruhi ketenangan kita, sehingga bisa mengatasi rasa sakit saat persalinan. Pada masa awal kehamilan pun demikian. Memori bawah sadar kebanyakan orang menganggap hamil itu A, B, C, padahal kalau kita tenang tenang menghadapi perubahan hormonal, (keluhan) itu tidak akan menjadi masalah. Kita juga harus ingat bahwa di trimester pertama mulai pembentukan organ-organ penting," ungkap Lanny.

Untuk mencapai kondisi ketenangan pikiran, ada upaya yang bisa dilakukan para ibu yakni melakukan hypnobirthing. Istilah ini berasal dari kata hypno (dari hypnosis) dan birthing (melahirkan) yang berarti keterampilan untuk meningkatkan ketenangan pikiran guna mempersiapkan dan menjalani kehamilan hingga menghadapi persalinan dengan nyaman.

Menurut Lanny, ketenangan pikiran dirasakan juga oleh jani dalam kandungan. Hypnobirthing sebaiknya juga tidak hanya dilakukan oleh ibu saja melainkan juga dengan pasangan, karena persalinan merupakan perjalanan spiritual suami istri dan bayi.

Bentuk mental bayi
Selain membuat masa kehamilan lebih menyenangkan dan mengurangi rasa sakit saat persalinan, yang tak kalah penting dari manfaat hypnobirthing adalah membentuk mental bayi sejak dalam kandungan.

"Tujuan hypnobirthing bukan hanya melahirkan tanpa rasa sakit, tapi yang utama adalah bayi dalam kandungan. Satu kalimat yang saya pegang 'If you want to change the world, start to change a pregnant women," ungkap Lanny kepada Kompas.com beberapa waktu lalu.

Ia menambahkan, banyak bayi lahir normal secara fisik tetapi saat ini banyak orang tua mengeluhkan mental anaknya ketika tumbuh dewasa. "Mental ini sebenarnya bisa dibentuk sejak dalam kandungan. Bayi dalam kandungan mulai 12 minggu sudah dapat merekam apa yang dirasakan ibunya. Dan ketenangan kita akan sangat penting," terangnya.

Tercapainya kondisi rileks pada ibu, lanujut Lanny, akan membawa gelombang otak pada kondisi yang lebih tenang sehingga memungkinkan untuk berkomunikasi secara batin pada janin. Beberapa klien Lanny telah membuktikan bahwa bayi dalam kandungan ternyata dapat diminta menendang atau beraktifitas sesuai keinginan ibu hanya menggunakan kontak batin.

Melahirkan Kini Tak Sakit Lagi dengan Hypnobirthing

Mengandung selama sembilan bulan, melahirkan, dan mempunyai anak adalah hal yang sangat dinanti-nantikan oleh seorang wanita yang telah hidup berkeluarga. Namun demikian, bagi seorang wanita khususnya ibu-ibu muda, proses persalinan seringkali merupakan sesuatu yang menakutkan. Hal ini diperparah oleh rumor-rumor yang beredar yang mengatakan bahwa proses melahirkan itu menyakitkan. Akibatnya, rasa takut yang dimiliki semakin tinggi dan menyebabkan rasa nyeri seolah lebih kuat daripada seharusnya karena dalam pikiran mereka telah tertanam bahwa proses persalinan itu menyakitkan.

Menurut ilmu kedokteran, rasa nyeri merupakan suatu hubungan kompleks antara berbagai macam faktor fisik dan psikis. Rasa takut akan menghalangi proses persalinan karena ketika tubuh manusia mendapatkan sinyal rasa takut, tubuh akan mengaktifkan pusat siaga dan pertahanan. Akibatnya, pusat mengirimkan darah ke seluruh organ yang terlibat untuk suatu proses siaga (running or fighting process). Karena rahim bukan merupakan organ yang terlibat dalam proses siaga, rahim hanya mendapatkan sedikit aliran darah sehingga rahim mengalami kekurangan aliran darah. Oleh karenanya, dapat menghalangi proses persalinan dan meningkatkan rasa nyeri serta menyebabkan waktu melahirkan menjadi lebih panjang.

Sangat diperlukan kesiapan mental dan ketenangan batin oleh ibu-ibu yang akan melahirkan secara alami. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan adanya hubungan antara stress psikis dengan kelahiran bayi prematur.

Hypnobirthing adalah suatu bentuk terapi alternatif yang secara holistik membantu ibu untuk rileks, tenang, dan tetap dalam keadaan sadar sepenuhnya. Hypnobirthing adalah salah satu cabang dari Hypnosis. Hypnosis telah diakui oleh WHO sebagai terapi alternatif di luar Ilmu Kedokteran Barat yang sah. Hypnobirthing dilakukan oleh ibu dan pasangannya dalam keadaan relaksasi mendalam. Setelah masuk dalam keadaan relaksasi mendalam, dilakukanlah suatu penanaman sugesti ke otak mengenai hal-hal positif saat proses persalinan, misalnya bahwa proses persalinan itu tidak menyakitkan. Pada praktiknya, sang ibu diajarkan untuk memasukkan kata-kata positif ke dalam dirinya. Sang suami juga diharapkan ikut menanamkan kata-kata positif kepada istrinya. Pada awalnya ibu akan dibantu oleh terapis dalam prosesnya, selanjutnya ibu tersebut bisa melakukannya sendiri atau dengan bersama suami di rumah. Hypnobirthing dapat juga dilakukan dengan alat bantu CD (Compact Disc) rekaman suara sugesti. Kelas hypnobirthing biasanya dilakukan dalam tiga kali pertemuan, sekali seminggu dalam waktu satu setengah jam. Seorang ibu dapat mulai mengikuti kelas ini pada usia kehamilan sedini mungkin, tetapi tidak menutup kemungkinan kelas ini diikuti oleh ibu yang usia kehamilannya telah diatas enam bulan.

Sebelum diakui sebagai terapi alternatif, Ilmu Kedokteran Barat sangat mengandalkan penggunaan obat-obatan dalam menghilangkan rasa nyeri selama proses persalinan. Semua obat-obatan tersebut berdifusi melalui plasenta sehingga menyebabkan efek-efek negatif pada janin. Akan tetapi, dengan adanya hypnobirthing bukan berarti menggantikan seluruh peran obat. Obat-obatan tetaplah dapat dipakai terutama bagi ibu-ibu yang mengalami nyeri sangat kuat.

Prinsip dasar metode hypnobirthing:
1. Pikiran mempengaruhi seluruh tubuh. Segala sesuatu yang dilakukan tubuh ditentukan oleh pikiran. Oleh sebab itu ketika ditanamkan suatu pandangan bahwa proses persalinan adalah suatu proses alami yang tidak menyebabkan rasa nyeri sedemikian hebatnya, maka tubuh akan mengekspresikan hanya sedikit rasa nyeri saat persalinan.
2. Rasa nyeri menghalangi proses persalinan. (Ini telah dibahas pada bagian pertama)
3. Endorfin adalah pembunuh rasa nyeri alami yang terdapat dalam tubuh. Ini bisa dihasilkan ketika tubuh dalam keadaan relaksasi.

Keuntungan hypnobirthing:
• Kondisi tenang selama kehamilan akan direkam oleh janin dan membentuk kepribadian serta kecerdasan sejak di dalam rahim
• Mengurangi rasa mual, muntah, dan pusing
• Menciptakan keadaan yang seimbang sehingga pertumbuhan fisik dan psikis bayi lebih sehat
• Memperlancar jalannya proses persalinan dan meminimalkan rasa sakit
• Meningkatkan produksi ASI
• Dapat lebih mengontrol emosi dan perasaan
• Mencegah kelelahan yang berlebih saat proses persalinan

Dengan melihat penjelasan diatas dapat dinilai bahwa terapi hypnobirthing bisa dijadikan sebagai salah satu terapi alternatif sejak dalam masa kehamilan sedini mungkin. Selain keuntungan yang diperoleh ibu dan bayinya, penggunaan terapi hypnobirthing juga memiliki keuntungan dilihat dari segi keefektifan dan keefisienannya, yaitu lebih murah dan mudah dilakukan.

Woman’s Alimentation During Pregnancy and Nursing

The pregnancy and nursing period is characterized by a series of fundamental structural and functional changes of the maternal body: uterus enlargement, placenta formation, mammary glands increase, endocrine gland modification, blood volume increase, metabolism intensification etc.

All these changes impose the decisions taking about how to help the maternal body to go through this period without health damages for the mother or child. The alimentation plays an important role in the structure of these measures.





Research concerning a pregnant woman’s metabolism showed that the nutritive needs increase in comparison to the needs of an adult woman who is not pregnant, especially during the second period of the pregnancy and during nursing.





The caloric needs increase in the first period of pregnancy with 5-10% and in the second part the caloric needs are up to 15-20% higher. During nursing, the increase may be of 30% or of 1000 calories more than at a non-pregnant adult-woman.





The proteins need of the pregnant woman is of 1,5- 2 g/kg/day or 100g/day during the first part of pregnancy, increasing to 120g in the last pregnancy trimester and 125 g during nursing. That is why 2/3 or at least half of them will have a high biological value, first of all out of milk, dairies above all, eggs, meat and fish.





A poor proteins quota can lead to pregnancy complications: anemia, eclampsia, edemas or some fetus deficiencies, premature birth, malformations as well as different deficient states of the fetus, a greater receptivity to diseases after birth and diminished callousness. Latter on, it can also influence the quality and the quantity of the milky secretion.





Vegetal proteins from the dry vegetables (bean, pea and lentil) should be avoided as they usually contain a high degree of cellulose which renders their digestion difficult and possible postprandial distention, endured with difficulty by the pregnant woman.





The quantity of the lipids should be low as they overtax the liver’s functions and favor the acidity. That is why a small quantity, of 90 g/day, should be consumed in the first period of the pregnancy and 110g/day during nursing. Half of them will be consumed by eating vegetables, the rest through animal fats, including the fats contained by the aliments.





The quantity of glucose should be of 5—6 g/kg/day or 350—420 g/day and can increase to 500 g a day during nursing, without excesses since they can lead to obesity and diabetes. One should eat more vegetables and fruits which bring vitamins and minerals or cereals and aliments from cereals, without exaggerating the pastries consumption.





During the pregnant and nursing, the need of mineral salts, calcium, phosphor and iron, in particular, increases and since it cannot be satisfied by the usual alimentation, one should consume aliments which contain them such as: milk, dairies, eggs, meat, liver, spinach, tomatoes, lettuce, etc.





The calcium and phosphor need is of 1.5 g/day in comparison to de 0,8 g/day, for the adult, non-pregnant woman, during nursing can grow up to la 2 g/day. The iron need grows from 15—16 mg/day, the necessary for the adult non-pregnant woman, to 20 mg/day during pregnancy and to 25 mg/day during nursing.





As for the sodium quantity, it should be diminished, especially in the last period of pregnancy, as it favors the edemas which may provoke complications at birth.





The need of some vitamins is higher for the pregnant woman. Thus, the thiamin need increases to 2mg/ day during pregnancy instead of 1,5 mg/day in normal conditions and to 2,3—2,5 mg/day during nursing. The riboflavin need is of 2,5 mg/day during the pregnancy instead of 2 mg/day in normal conditions, and goes up to 3—3,2 mg/during nursing. The pyridoxine need is of 5 mg/day, the PP vitamin need grows from 14- 15mg/day to 18- 20mg/ day to the pregnant woman and to 24—25 mg/day to the nursing woman. Vitamin K need is of 0,5—1 mg/day for the pregnant woman, growing especially in the last period of the pregnancy, taking into account the blood loss during the birth process. The vitamin A need is of 6 000 U.I. for the pregnant woman and of 8 000 U.I. for the nursing woman, in comparison to 5 000 U.I. for the normal woman. The necessary quantity of vitamin D is of 400 U.I. for the pregnant woman and of 500—600 U.I. for the nursing woman. This can be provided by aliments (dairies) but also by sun exposure during summer. Vitamin E, necessary especially during pregnancy, as it favors the normal growth of the embryo, is necessary in quantities of 10—12 mg/day, being provided by the consumption of vegetal oil, eggs, meat, germinative cereals. Vitamin C, whose necessary quantity grows from 50—55 mg/day, the quantity for normal women, to 100 mg/ day for the pregnant woman and to 130 —150 mg/day for the nursing woman, will be provided through the consumption of fresh aliments of vegetal origin (fruits and green vegetables). Vitamins from the group B will be provided especially by bread, meat, milk, eggs, green vegetables, and the vitamin A by dairies, eggs, fish as well as some fresh vegetables which bring it as carotene, which will convert in organism in active vitamin.





All nutritive needs of the pregnant or nursing woman will be ensured by the consumption of the aliments from the main groups.





The quantity of meat and meat products consumed daily will be of 200—250 g/day, the milk quantity is 600- 1000ml/ day, the cheeses quantity should be around 50g/ day, and at least one egg everyday. The alimentary fats will be provided through: 20g butter a day, 20-25 g oil a day. Out of the aliments of vegetal origin, rye bread will be preferred (brings more vitamins and minerals and doesn’t provoke constipation) 250—350 g/day, 30- 40g/day pastries or other cereal products, 400—500 g/day vegetables and 250—300 g/day potatoes. The quantity of fruits can be of 350—400 g/day, fresh or stewed, cooked, and sugar daily quantity should be around 40—50 g/day.





Alimentation should be sufficient qualitative and quantitative, no excesses, it should vary and the aliments as fresh as possible. It is advisable to have frequent and reduced meals, especially in the first period of the pregnancy when the dyspeptic disorders (nausea, vomiting) can affect nourishment. Avoid fatty, spicy, salty aliments, smoked meat, fish or meat preserves, alcohol and coffee. They usually irritate the digestive mucosa with hypersecretion of gastric juice. If endured, occasionally, are allowed small quantities of wine with soda or coffee, without making any excess or converting it into a rule.





Aliments with fried sauces or fried in fats, are not recommended for the pregnant or nursing woman.





The weight gain will be closely followed. It should be almost inexistent in the first months of pregnancy, than it will increase with 1.5 kg/month in the last 6 months, taking care that the weight gain won’t exceed 10 kg during the entire pregnancy.





During travail all kinds of aliments are forbidden. After birth should be consumed fortifying easily digestible and stimulant aliments: natural coffee, coffee with milk, vegetable sauce, meat sauce, eggs, fruit juices, etc. Starting with the third day after birth, the diet recommended for the nursing woman will start.





The nursing woman, beside the mentioned elements, should be aware that some of the substances can reach the milk, giving a bad taste or provoking digestive disorders to the baby, which is why they should be avoided. These are: onion, garlic, alcohol, which can also provoke nervosity, agitation, insomnia, explained by the excitability growth of the nervous system of the infant.





The pregnant woman as well as the nursing woman should respect a set of rules regarding the alimentation hygiene, absolutely necessary such as: respect the meals hours, a good repartition of calories for each meal… With respect to this aspect, we already mentioned that it is preferable to have more meals and less consistent, in order to be better assimilated by the body. Mastication will be lent and long. Avoid any kind of emotions during meals and take a postprandial pause.





Try, if possible, not to change the pregnant woman’s alimentary customs, if they aren’t too different from the rational alimentation limits. One won’t impose useless interdictions or excesses which can damage the nutritive factors contribution, such as salt diet or minerals and vitamins intake in excess.





Keep the optimal proportion between the nutritive factors as it has a positive influence over the absorption and their utilization.





If the pregnant woman presents nutritional disequilibrium, they will be taken into account, trying to correct them.





When the pregnant woman has a job which solicit her physically and psychically, the nutritive contribution will be adjust according to her need which surpass the usual values for a sedentary pregnant woman or for one who makes little effort.





It is also very important if the pregnant woman is an adolescent. Because of the growing needs from this period, the pregnant adolescent’s ratio will be increased in calories and nutritive factors, in order to cover the needs of the adolescent’s growing body.

Giving Body Massage - How To Make Your Special Woman Feel Great

While typical men may think there's nothing better they'd like than having a wife's ministering touches, there is more to building intimacy in a relationship than simply love-making; yes, a massage is just as good as a hug that denotes all the love one feels without any undue pressure for sex. It is a joyful and stress-relieving activity that is highly recommended by experts who feel that building a relationship requires trust and to generate that in a woman, a man must learn techniques that make her feel relaxed, at ease with him and her body without any sexual advances feared.

The importance of a massage cannot be stressed enough in a loving relationship as the smallest tactile movements enable a child to know safety in a mothers' arms, so the lover feels warm and cherished when treated to tender and nourishing body massage that stretches the single touch to many more. Many women may have been physically abused in the past or suffered a recent trauma or just be basically shy to invite a massage readily but it is up to the man in her life to convince her of his intentions in wanting to do something special for she is special – and out of the bed, too.



The first step is to make a woman feel comfortable in your presence and help her relax so she is certain it will lead to bigger things; this is especially important for women with a troubled past who can end up losing out on their trust if pressed into sexual intimacy after a massage session for the sake of it.



Do it without expecting payment in kind and convince your woman it is for her sake that you are offering the body massage and while it is likely you will be aroused by the activity, clothe yourself properly to avoid showing any signs of the same.



You can begin by preparing a bath for your woman, then lying her down on a clean towel or soft blanket on the floor instead of a bed, since the surface of a massage point needs to be firm. Put a pillow each below her head and shins and if you are not using pre-warmed, lightly-scented oil; you can cup some in your hands to transfer some body-heat to it before you begin by working on her shoulders and down her back, using slow strokes.



Pay close attention to any body parts that feel tense or stiff to your touch and ask where she hurts (if applicable) and work on those especially before moving to her thighs, legs and feet that need to be worked in circular motions before repeating the movements upwards again.



Avoid massaging private parts as you want her to relax and do not stare; work on her breasts only upon being given permission. Massage hands and face with a gentle touch and let her know in words how special she is – restrain your own needs, let it be her day, today!

How To Tell When A Woman Is Ready To Flirt

You are out in the club and this beautiful woman walks past by you. She touches her hair, smiles a little, and looks around. You were looking at her all this time and you think you will never get to ask her out and if you ever did, she will surely reject you.

Well, you are so wrong.

If you have been observing her body language well enough, you should have noticed that she was actually checking you out and giving out hints for you to make the move. Now, do not let another opportunity like this pass you by. You seriously need to study a womans body language. Here is a helpful guide for you so you would not have to spend your weekends alone anymore.

First things first. You need to understand that there are just two kinds of body language, open gestures and closed gestures. Open gestures mean that a woman is interested while close gestures tell you that she would rather be alone. Let us go through these two one by one.

Open Gestures

If a woman flips her hair and immediately afterwards glances your way, then that is a clear sign that she is interested in you and that she is trying to catch your attention by catching your eye.

How she reacts to eye contact is also an important body reaction to observe. Try to establish eye contact. If she looks away, then she is not that into you. If she does something to show that she has obviously become nervous because you are looking at her (playing with her jewelry, suddenly looking at her phone, or adjusting her clothes), then that means that she is interested and in fact a little attracted to you.

When you approach her to start a conversation and she leans forward, then it is her way of saying that she is yours for the taking. If she exposes her wrists and the palm of her hands, then that is her subconscious saying that she is willing to submit to you. It really is the subtlest way of saying that if you want her, you can have her. You know you have gotten it all right when she begins touching you and laughing at almost everything that you are saying. Yes, that is probably the alcohol but it is also her minds way of showing that it is comfortable with you and she is definitely attracted to you.

Closed Gestures

A woman crossing her arms is clearly telling you that she would rather be alone. It is not that she does not like you. It could be because she is agitated, uncomfortable, or just is not interested in meeting men in general at that moment.

When you start making your move and she likewise starts to roll her eyes, then that is not just a sign that you are making her nervous. She is actually embarrassed with what you are doing and she does not want anyone to see it. You have practically zero chances with a woman who does this. More so, if she leans back while you are about to approach her, then she is obviously giving you a signal to move away.

Based on studies, a womans body language expresses more than half of what she means even more than words. Therefore, it really helps to understand it but it is not fool proof. If you really like someone, then go ahead and talk to her even if her body is already screaming for you to leave. The worse thing that could happen is that she will just tell you point blank that she does not like you. There is really nothing here to lose. Take hints from the way her body talks but it is really up to you to decide on how to act on it.

How to Turn On a Beautiful Woman - 3 Ways to Make Her Melt

As most of you guys already know, there are many
different types of women out there in the dating pool. Some
women are really easy to approach, get to know and pretty
much will date anyone who asks her. Maybe her standards are
low, her self esteem not the greatest or she just needs
constant attention from other men to feel worthwhile. Most
women I know are not this way, but rather are VERY selective
about who they will and will not date.

The problem is, at a
distance, this can look very snobby and aloof, and often
friends of mine who are actually the warmest people I know,
have the reputation of being cold and distant. ALL of my
friends constantly talk about meeting a great guy, so it's
certainly not that they don't want you to approach them.
It's just that, most BEAUTIFUL women have a really high
standard of how they want to be treated by their man, and
who it is that they want to get intimate with, and usually,
it has a lot less to do with things like looks, money or
status than you guys think. Here are the 3 keys to the
kingdom of that beautiful woman you've had YOUR eyes on for
a while, but have been too afraid to approach.

1) Feed her MIND. A woman wants to be intellectually nurtured.
Challenged. STIMULATED. Do you want to really turn on your
girl? SHARE a book with her. Something smart. And
old.....Beautiful women LOVE men who read...and can teach
her new things. The mind is most easily stimulated organ in
a woman's body. Learn to master this and you will unlock
the kingdom worth far more than it's weight in gold.

2) Feed her SPIRIT. Understand the pure essence of EROS and
the divine spark that emanates from a secret place deep down
in the female form....Women have a FAR more sensitive
spiritual connection than most of our male
counterparts.There is a luminous and incandescent radiance
that yearns to be recognized and embraced by a beautiful
woman, and for most men, these are words and concepts that
are foreign to their ears, lips and hearts. Open YOURSELF up
to the ever present SPIRITUAL desires of your woman. Learn
them. And you will be the master he who is worshipped by
1000 women, until your spirit is captured by the heart of
one.

3) Feed her BODY. Learn the secrets of a woman's
body....how to touch..WHERE to touch and when..Learn the
movements and the magic and the moments of bliss and desire.
Learn her facial expressions and how to read her body
language..A woman's body, in the right hands should be
played like a fine INSTRUMENT of love and lust...In the
wrong hands, a fiddle at a bad karaoke country music bar in
Peoria. KNOW and LEARN the nuances of the woman's body and
you WILL receive infinite pleasure beyond that of mere moral
men.

And of course there are far, far more intimate secrets
and pleasures to learn as well - but if you want to make her
melt, and be and open book for your review....You will get
started with these 3 simple studies. Trust me, you will
thank me later!

Finding A Tattoo For A Woman's Tastes - Critical Female Design Info

Finding a tattoo for a woman's tastes online is hard, especially when you are looking for quality artwork. The web is just filled with so much generic art that is can seem impossible, as you may have seen for yourself. Some women even settle for design they aren't 100% in love with, which no sane person should ever do. Well, here is what you need to know about that kind of design on the internet, as well as how to find the good stuff.

Performing a search for a tattoo for a woman's tastes can be very difficult for most. I know, because I have seen it first hand. I tend to stress the word "settle", because that is exactly what a lot of women do when it comes to tattoos. Whether they are plain tired of looking thought all of the generic crud on the web, or they simply think they won't be able to find anything better, some females will get tattoos that they do not fully want in the first place. Needless to say, this generally leads to frustration and regret in the future.

Finding a tattoo for a woman's tastes online doesn't have to be that way anymore and here is what you need to avoid when searching for that perfect design...

The first and most important thing is what we are about to talk about right now. This has to do with the tools you are using to locate artwork, or any given tattoo for a woman's tastes on the web. If you are like 95% of the people around the world, you are using search engines. To make a long story short, search engines are pretty useless when it comes to finding good designs. Places like Google and Yahoo just lead you straight to the thousands upon thousands of cookie-cutter websites out there that have a large percentage of the generic artwork.

Also, the artwork they do have is over a half a decade old and is already plastered and scattered on hundreds of other websites already. Who knows how many females might already have that particular design inked on their body? That is not a good tattoo for a woman's body. With millions of people already seeing that single design, you can bet that somewhere near one hundreds females have that inked some place on their body.

That's the kind of tattoo for a woman's tastes you need.

As an extra bonus, these also happen to be the sites that have the design that were truly drawn to be implemented as tattoos for women and men alike. This is in sharp contrast to those cookie-cutter places, which feature so much artwork that won't look half as good on your body as it did on paper or computer screen. This happens because of the artists that draw most of the designs at those cookie-cutter websites. Those places are filled with material that was drawn by artists with no knowledge of tattoos, which won't make a good tattoo for a woman's body. These crucial skills are needed to make designs that will look just as great once inked on a female's skin. Finding a tattoo for a woman's tastes at one of those generic sites will just make you disappointed. Forums are you surefire way around that.

How to Tell If a Girl Likes You - 3 Hidden Body Language Flirting Secrets That Every Man Must Know

How many times have you encountered a really attractive woman but were to afraid to take the next step because you didn't know if the attraction was mutual? This has happened to every man who was unaware of a girl's secret body language flirting cues. I'm going to reveal three secrets so you know right away if a girl likes you or not.

A little known fact is that most human communication is done non-vebally, 80% of what's 'said' is expressed through body language. So paying careful attention to what her body says could get you the girl.

Eye contact as flirting cues

If she holds your gaze longer than normal during conversation is a definite indicator of interest. If she breaks eye contact sooner it may be because she's shy or nervous to be sure see what other gestures she uses after she looks away. The 'hair flick', adjusting her jewelry or clothes, unconscious biting of the lower lip while looking down and away is a dead give away that she likes you.

Smiles and laughter

If she laughs at your worse jokes, it may not be because your getting better at humour it is a definite sign that she finds you attractive. A sense of humor is near the top of a woman's priority list of what they look for in a man. So laughs smiles and giggles go a long way proving that she's into you and is all a part of the flirting game.

Body Language and Attraction

Most men are totally oblivious to a woman's body language of attraction. Uncrossed arms showing the exposed palms and wrists indicates she's attracted to you and has nothing to hide. Her feet unconsciously point where her mind wants to go, so the knee point- her crossed leg pointing in your direction is yet another sign the girl feels at ease with you. Lastly If she looks for any opportunity to initiate a light touch of your arm accidental or otherwise it is an obvious sign the girl likes you.

Now Listen, with that said..

Do you really want to learn how to flirt with, attract, meet and seduce women? Do you want to learn how to get a girlfriend no matter what you look like, how old or poor you are? Do you want to take control of your dating life? If you answered YES to any of these questions visit keystoseduction.com for tips and strategies on how to take you game to the next level!

Finding A Tattoo For A Woman's Tastes - Simple Female Design Info

Locating a tattoo for a woman's tastes can be close to impossible online, especially if you only want to top notch artwork on the web. Some women even go as far as giving up on their search because of all of the generic art that litters the internet. Well, here is what every female needs to know about that kind of content, as well as how to blast right past it while getting to the great stuff.

A tattoo for a woman's body should be something special to them. You should never just "settle" on some piece of generic artwork simply because you couldn't find anything better, or because you were just tired of looking high and low. This will just lead to resentment and an overall disappointment in the tattoos that you choose. With that said, many females do exactly this. They end up settling for artwork that you don't 100% like. Needless that say, no sane female should ever do this. Finding a tattoo for a woman's tastes doesn't have to be that hard, though.

To avoid so much of the generic artwork and designs that overload the web, you will want to stay far away from search engines. This goes for all of them when looking for the perfect tattoo for a woman's tastes. Places like Google and MSN will just bring everyone to the thousands and thousands of cookie-cutter websites hat litter the internet. It is this kind of website that has so much artwork that is way over six years old and the content they actually do have is already plastered on hundreds of other sites. Who knows how many females already have that design you chose inked on their body already. A tattoo for a woman's tastes should be special and mean something, not a design that so many other females have.

You can easily get right around a lot of that generic art, while getting any given tattoo for a woman's style online....

Now that we have said something about the evils of search engines, you will need some other search option to take its place. This is exactly where internet forums come into the picture, and boy, are they a real life saver for any female, because finding any tattoo for a woman's tastes is quite easy. I can't tell you how many times I (and so many people I know) have used forums to find tons of hidden websites that feature top quality artwork and original designs. Also, these happen to be the sites that have true artwork that was actually meant to be made into tattoos, unlike those cookie-cutter places, which have so much art that was drawn be people with no real knowledge about tattoos. Almost every tattoo for a woman's body seems to be pretty detailed, so this would not be good.

This means that most of the artwork at those cookie-cutter places is drawn be people that don't know what it takes to make designs that will look even half as good once taken from paper and inked on your body. That is not a true tattoo for a woman's tastes, or any female for that matter. Getting a tattoo for a woman's style should be something fun and expected. Who wants to pick a design that looks pretty good on their computer screen or paper, only to find out that it looks very different on their skin? That is a female's worst nightmare. The good news is that the hundreds of huge forums throughout the web can easily help you get right past that dirty artwork.

Finding a tattoo for a woman's tastes can be simply and direct, so please, don't settle for generic female designs that will leave you less than happy.

The information throughout this piece is in no particular order, which means you should be looking out for these signs and signals continuously throughout the time you are in her presence. Maybe your on a date or just out for a casual drink as "friends".

Women send out roughly 5 times more body language signals than men, which gives us our first advantage.

If you can remember just a couple of these signs, then reading the body language of a women will become easy because they will express them often if they are interested in you.

When women play with their hair it is called preening. This can be tossing of the hair, running her fingers through her hair in a combing fashion and stroking her hair. This is the most common way a women will flirt with a man. So watch out for this sure sign.

Eating slowly will bring attention to a woman's lips which is a great flirting move because most men find the lips very stimulating.

Physical Contact - If she touching you then this is generally a good sign and you will find that she is more than likely making excuses to touch you because she likes you a lot.

Ladies legs are a powerful tool. If she has them crossed, uncrosses them and directly crosses them in the other direction then this is a sign she is flirting.

99% of a women's body language will be sexual because they know men want for this and so play with them along whilst flirting.

If a woman wets her lips quite frequently, it's either out of habit or desire to get you to pay attention to her lips and sooner or later kiss her. If however she is biting her lips then maybe you are making her feel uncomfortable.

Single Guy Sex Tips

If you're a single guy then you likely want to score and impress women with tips that work universally. Once you get into a relationship you can zero in on what your partner likes best and so forth, but for now you need sex tips that are going to work each and every time out, not only to ensure you'll have return encounters, but to give yourself the added confidence of being a great lover.

You can break it all down into three different areas, which all have universal turn on appeal:

1. Touch.

There are "erotic zones" on a womans body which are sure fire turn on points that work amazingly well each and every time. Knowing these areas of the womans body (they range from areas on the neck to spots on the feet) can really rev things up during foreplay, which is incredibly important for sexual intimacy to be a satisfying, memorable experience for any woman.

2. Kiss.

This is a skill that gets glazed over way too often. Women universally love to be kissed, so it only makes sense that if you can master the art of kissing you can universally impress any woman. Kissing skills can be incredibly sexual, especially when you combine kissing with certain erotic zones on a womans body.

3. Sex.

Now the main event. Every guy wants to be a good, impressive lover in the sack, yet women can have individual tastes on what exactly turns them on, as far as rhythm, position, and so forth. So what universal thing can you do to make sure a woman is satisfied no matter what?

Lasting long enough. This tends to be the number one complaint women have with regards to sex. You can get the touch right, the kissing right, but if you don't last long enough during sexual intimacy you could blow it all. So it's vitally important to make sure you learn tricks and techniques to last long during sex, and then you'll be guaranteed to universally impress.

If you learn these three areas of intimacy, then you simply cannot go wrong when it comes to impressing any woman sexually.

Here is an excellent online Sex manual for learning all the touching, kissing, and lasting longer tips you need during sex to become an incredible lover. See http://sex-skills.blogspot.com

Women's Plus Size Swim Wear Is Making A Comeback In The Full Figure Fashion Industry

A voluptuous beautiful woman with full hips has been a forgotten consumer in the women's plus size swim wear category. Fortunately, this full figured woman usually controls the purse strings for the family. After years of suffering in silence, the strong voices of these women are finally being heard in the full figure fashion industry.

Someone forgot that full figured women are the mothers, sisters, and head of households that hold the purse strings. Someone forgot that these women go to dinners and go on vacation and may very well need to purchase a fashionable plus size swimsuit.

They forgot to design a sexy, color enhancing swimsuit for this pillar of not only society but retail sales. What happened to the marketers who have their ears to the consumers wants and needs meter. The message was not delivered and somehow was not conveyed to the creator of the bikini or the chlorine resistant sackcloth called women's plus size swim wear.

A woman with a full figure is currently not the Hollywood representation of beauty. The choice of the fashion community is a slim waif like creature with sunken cheeks and no curves. So the fashion industry gave the full figured woman what they wanted and the full figured woman rejected their overture thumbs down.

There has now been a revolution in the fashion industry which was too long in coming. But stylish figure enhancing swim wear has finally arrived. Women's plus size swim wear is now available in beautiful colors and shape enhancing features that fit the body of a real woman. The women designers who are full figured women themselves finally put together a winning formula for swim wear for the regular sized woman

If one believes in conspiracy theories, then the conspiracy exists between the million dollar weight loss industry and the fashion gurus who might own stock in the companies. The conspiracy is the reason that the long awaited fashionable clothes and proper fitting swim wear for full figured women took so long to come to fruition.

The problem may be that those slim witted designers may hold stock in the weight loss companies. Long before the slim waif was in vogue, Rueben defined beauty in his elegant pictures of woman who had hips, thighs and (whisper) breast.

The women of the Reuben era had curves. The curves of a woman's body are what define her femininity. The curves differentiate women from men. Women are build they way they are for a purpose. The creator designed women to look a certain way and it is not the thin reed like silhouette of the runway model.

The women of the Rubenesque era were applauded and envied for their full body healthy curves. These women were pursued because they were the epitome of femininity and considered beautiful because of their rounded curves. These characteristics were considered attractive and desirable. Finally, someone in the retail clothing stores remembered that women in other sizes needed attractive swim wear. These women who have been ignored actually hold the purse strings.

Pregnancy at 40

Did you ever believe that it is possible to achieve a safe and healthy pregnancy at 40 years old? Most medical professionals will often tell their patients over 35 years of age that their ovaries will produce increasingly fewer viable eggs, and that it is unwise to attempt conception. However, it is still very possible to get pregnant naturally. More significantly, it is entirely possible to have a complication-free pregnancy and deliver a fit and healthy baby.

You can easily restore your procreative abilities with natural treatment. In my kinesiology medical center, I've observed multiple peri-menopausal women replenish their menstrual cycles long enough to conceive. This is achieved by utilizing the "Mature Mother's Kit" and program that have been incredibly helpful in aiding women to achieve fertility and conceive no matter what age.

It consists of the following:

A healthy diet contains organic whole foods, healthful fresh fruits and vegetables, a plentiful amount of purified water, and a reduced sodium and sugar consumption. Well-rounded eating habits can help obtain a desired weight, since being too over or underweight can intervene with the biological process.

Steering clear of caffeinated beverages like coffee, tea amongst others is important. This is because caffeine tends to over-stimulate adrenal glands and this leads to an excessive production of hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These in turn interfere with the menstrual cycle and ovulation.

While a healthier diet that focuses on consuming organic foods and lots of water can help promote a healthy reproduction process, it alone is not a supremely perfect therapy. Body cleansing addresses increased fertility and rids the body of the toxins that can impede hormonal balance and overall fertility. A "Body Cleanse Kit," for example, is a herbal body cleanse that includes kidney-strengthening herbs that supply a woman's body with enough energy to successfully and safely reproduce. Also, a liver cleansing program can help to strengthen the liver and allow it to metabolize excess hormones. This along with parasite and heavy metal cleansing are important steps to detoxifying the body of harmful, fertility-limiting contamination.

Ingesting food-based vitamins will allow the body to ingest the greatest quantity of nutrients. These supplements also bestow your body with the minerals necessary to reinforce your reproductive organs, nourish the body with enough energy to reproduce, and provide for the developing egg.

Consuming antioxidants keep free radicals from harming cells. This incorporates cells from the ovaries, follicle, and egg. Antioxidants are used to recess aging, especially if used in conjunction with healthy eating habits and nutritional supplements. To get the maximum advantage from these antioxidants, they need to be extracts of superfood fruits and vegetables, like "AntioxiPlus" or just ingest great amounts of these antioxidant fruits.

Hormonal equilibrium requires taking herbal remedies to decrease FSH levels, equalize estrogen and progesterone levels, coordinate menstruation and aid the body in ovulating naturally. There are a vast amount of herbal treatments for fertility on the market, but the only one that I personally enjoy with my mature mothers is "FertilPlus", which is entirely organic, and doesn't include any harmful pesticide treated ingredients, like other natural treatments.

Supplements and diet will help greatly in urging your body into healthy reproduction, but reducing stress levels is also extremely helpful. Stress can take a huge physical toll on a woman's body, as it rapidly accelerates the aging process. Moreover, stress is thought to be a major cause of otherwise unexplainable infertility. It is only after your brain is completely relaxed that the rest of your body can also relax and focus on more important reproductive matters. Listening to brain-wave audio recordings can help put the brain into a deep state of unmatched quantum relaxation that could only be comparably achieved through years of practiced meditation.

Stimulating the flow of blood to the ovaries is significantly vital because they then become more responsive to FSH. This can easily be achieved by Chinese Fertility Massage and acupressure techniques that one can do without assistance. Fertility Yoga is an effective method that improves the health of the ovaries and increases the supply of blood to the entire reproductive system.

Many fully developed mothers experience a distinct change in just one month's time of adapting to this program. A noticeable increase in vitality, sex drive, and development in appetite, skin and regulated menstrual cycles. It's essential to follow this program for a minimum of five months, considering this is the amount of time required for the body to create a new egg. Taking care of your body and mind in this matter can help you perform a natural pregnancy at 40 or older. You can find out more about this program at: http://www.pregnancyat40.net

As a female, you really do want your tattoos to be perfect, right? Most people want this, but there are still so many folks who end up settling on tattoos that are not even close to being good. Most of it has to do with the fact that generic artwork was picked.

10 Most Essential Vitamins For Young Women

Young women not only face the challenges of a body that is changing and the development of a young mind. There are also the needs that the body requires in the massive changes that it needs to undergo in becoming a woman. There are ten vitamins that are paramount for young women, these are: folic acid, zinc, iron, calcium, B vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, chromium, iodine, and Omega-3 fatty acids.

Perhaps the one that is most often overlooked is zinc. This is one of the fundamental nutrients that are utilized for more than one base use. The body uses both zinc and Vitamin E as an antioxidant. This means that both are counter agents against both disease and the impact that can come with aging. Zinc has one other use in the young woman's body though, as it is a base nutrient that the body uses in making many of the hormones that are needed to develop the female body. Although the amounts of Zinc that are needed by a man are greater than that of a woman, it does play a pivotal role in the creation of estrogen.

Vitamin B6 is another need of the body that varies between the genders, as it is the base tool that is used by the body to alleviate the premenstrual syndrome that is part of every woman's life. This is more prominent in the needs of the young woman as the initial experiences of this can not only be unnerving, but can also be very uncomfortable as well.

Iron is one need that every woman has after puberty, but even more so with the changes that come about in a young woman's body. As their premenstrual cycle begins to take hold they will develop a need for both iodine for water retention (along with salt and water) and iron. The loss of iron is a fact of life for a woman and is something that can result in a number of complications if not dealt with properly. In many cases, a woman that doesn't compensate for the loss of iron will face the reduction of red blood cell production and also the risk of developing an anemic condition. In many situations, this can be dealt with, but the long-term strain on the body can be profound if this is a norm for the young woman that is leading her life into adulthood.

There has been many that have seen the advertisements and the information on the need of calcium. This is even truer for young women that are seeing their body explode with changes and also have the need for the calcium for any addition growth spurts their body will undergo. The human body will go through developmental phases up until they reach the age of twenty-two, this is something that is a serious consideration with any young woman and her needs. Along with the need of calcium is also the need of lesser amounts of Vitamin D as it is the one agent that the body uses in the incorporation of calcium into the body and being able to use it as a building block. There are many horror stories for young women when they discard the calcium needs and the truly unnerving part is that they are quite true in the results that are shown for those that lack the calcium needs of their body.

There is an art to body language when flirting with women and this you can learn when you are trying to get the girl.

These top 5 flirting tips for guys that will help you to get noticed and attract women:

1. Use a Big Smile - A great smile can exude confidence, playfulness, friendliness and interest. If you have problems with your teeth then get them fixed and brighten up the room with a big toothy smile! Nothing shows a woman you are confident and secure like a nice big smile. A smile can also show you are in control of who you are and what you are doing.

2. Use the Head Drop - This maneuver is one I've used many times and it plays a big part in my success in flirting with women. It's is a very flirty tactic and is done by meeting the girl's eyes and immediately dropping your head to the side as if to let her know, you know she is interested so come on over and talk to me. This tends to work better in other countries as most American women are not impressed by this tactic but it still shows some good results.

3. Use a Confident Gaze - This does not mean a meaningless stare or to gawk at her. This is a way of holding a confident stare between two interested individuals. You will find she will either show interest by holding her stare or by looking down. Looking at you for a moment then looking down is a body language cue that she feels attraction toward you. Either way she is showing interest so it is time to approach her and start a conversation.

4. Use Open Body Language - Sitting or standing with your legs or arms crossed shows you are either tense or not interested in any kind of contact! Stop it and stop it now! The best way to show you are safe and friendly is to show you are relaxed. You can show you are relaxed by sitting or standing with your arms open and legs uncrossed as if to tell her you are open to her advances. This tactic for flirting with women will not only bring you the girl you are trying to attract but many others at bars, parties and other social gatherings. You just never know where you will meet the woman of your dreams so use this tactic.

5. Leaning Back When Engaged in Conversation - When you lean back in your seat as you are talking with a woman this shows you are not intimidated and you are confident and relaxed. This also puts her at ease in the conversation. According to dating experts this is the alpha male position that shows you are a self-assured man and ready for anything. This also puts her in a position of having to lean forward toward you making you the chooser. This shows her she has to earn your respect. She will work harder to impress you putting you in control of the situation. Once she's comfortable with you and a bond is made then you should lean in to show her she has retained your interest. Once you lean forward toward her and she is still there showing interest then you know you have done everything right.

You can generally tell by a woman's body language and conversation if she is interested in you. Using the flirting tips for guys mentioned above will help you with gaining the interest of a any woman and spark that chemistry that will make you totally irresistible when flirting with women.
