The Love Bucket Recognition Ring of Desire & Appreciation

BucketRecognition thumb The Love Bucket Recognition Ring of Desire & Appreciation

The Love Bucket Recognition Ring of Desire has three parts. It is that you recognize a woman’s 1) APPEARANCE 2) ACTIONS 3) ESSENCE. That seems simple enough.

David Shade says that for a married woman to be fulfilled a woman absolutely must have four key things to feel happy in her marriage. She must… 1) Feel special and appreciated, 2) Feel a deep emotional connection, 3) Feel feminine, beautiful, and sexy, 4) Get hot passionate sex. This is part of becoming a Masterman Lover.

As you know, sex is one of the Rings of Desire of the love bucket. There are 7 Rings of Desire of the Love Bucket. The Love Bucket and the 7 Rings are Desire are a registered trademarks presented by Sherrie Rose, The Love Linguist.

The first three things that David mentions are part of the Recognition Ring of Desire. There are ways to open up a woman to higher levels of sexual dimension such as knowing all about female orgasm.

The others David mentions all happen when you recognize a woman’s 1) APPEARANCE that causes her to feel feminine, beautiful, and sexy.

And when you recognize a woman’s 2) ACTIONS that causes her to feel special and appreciated.

And when you recognize a woman’s 3) ESSENCE that then causes her to feel a deep emotional connection. Her essence is her spirit.

The Recognition Ring of Desire is on most every woman’s list of her top 3 rings of desire.

You can recognize a woman in many ways with words, actions, participation and contribution. The key is that you initiate the recognition and that you have the INTENTION to recognize her whether you are giving her RECOGNITION FOR HER 1) Appearance 2) Actions 3) Essence.

It is the impact of intention that makes the recognition powerful. Recognition comes before and with appreciation. You must be conscious and have intention of what you are recognizing. If it comes with appreciation, a woman will swoon and her heart will open to more love (and her love bucket will expand to receive the love).

As stated earlier, there are ways to open up a woman to higher levels of sexual dimension and the simplest is the recognition ring of desire when let her know through words and actions that you appreciate her appearance, actions, and essence. That is a huge turn on of her B spot and that’s a pretty direct connection to her O spot.

THE TRINITY OF APPRECIATION


Appreciation is the quickest and simplest gateway to a higher dimension.

This was a statement about appreciation by one of my mentors that I appreciate and remember often.
Appreciation is a miraculous portal into new awareness, empowerment, innovation, inspiration, insight, and delight. It benefits our health, our brain function, and our quality of life in every way. And it’s free!

We know that appreciation creates a uniquely ordered pattern in the heart’s rhythm which benefits our overall health and performance, it boosts our immunity, and it more than quintuples the efficiency and power output of the heart.

It is no mistake that the word “Appreciation” also means “to increase in value.” What we appreciate becomes more valuable to us, and through us. As we literally boost our own vitality, efficiency, brain power, and heart power with appreciation, we become of greater tangible value too (both to ourselves and to others). We are stronger physically, more resilient emotionally, more loving and allowing of others and appreciative of their value. Colors are brighter, tastes are more succulent, life overall is more vibrant when we appreciate.
With so many benefits of appreciation, we have to wonder, “Why we don’t appreciate more?” Appreciation is like a tuning fork for good in our lives, clearing the static on the line to hearing our heart’s signals. It knocks the rust and dust off of our ability to receive and perceive what we already have, and opens pathways to receive and perceive even more.
What if everything in life were designed to be appreciated? What if everything that has ever happened, everyone you have ever encountered, every life situation, has been a gift from your own higher self? Even the things you complain about, resent, regret, lament? Entertaining the possibility that everything that comes your way is a gift of some sort just waiting to be opened with the instrument of your appreciation is to peer through the window of the heart’s perception of things. My heart, when I can clear the static on the line to hearing its guidance, always shows me an angle to appreciate whatever situation I am in.
However, it is not easy to appreciate that fact, at least not all the time. One day when I was really having trouble appreciating something that was said to me, my heart created a tool to use which it called, “The triangle of appreciation.” It gave me three points of appreciation, a calibration system by which I could always find something to be grateful for in any given situation. It is amazing how this simple little tool has changed my life. Start by imagining a triangle.

The Triangle of Appreciation

clip image004 thumb The Love Bucket Recognition Ring of Desire & Appreciation

Appreciating Challenge = Soul’s View and Personal Growth (Top)

Appreciating Process = Requires Understanding, Compassion, and Allowing (Left)

Appreciating Value = Automatic and Raw (Right)

 

 

 

 

Appreciating Value = Automatic and Raw

The bottom right hand corner of the triangle represents things that you automatically appreciate. This zone belongs to things that have inherent value to you, simply as they are. Like chocolate and… Great sex. clip image006 thumb The Love Bucket Recognition Ring of Desire & Appreciation

A blossoming rose. A beautiful sunset. Your favorite music, or skiing, or a great novel, or your best friend’s sense of humor. These are things that you automatically appreciate- things that you are naturally drawn to and love without effort. They give you direct access to raw appreciation of what is.

Appreciating Process = Requires Understanding, Compassion, and Allowing

The bottom left corner of the triangle belongs to the zone of things and people that are harder to appreciate. It is harder to appreciate being stood up by someone, or a toddler screaming after hitting their head on the corner of the coffee table as they learn how to walk. What you can appreciate in those situations is the growth process the person is in- you can appreciate where they are in their journey and have compassion for their process. In this way, compassion is a form of appreciation, a form of appreciating where a person or a situation is currently and where they are going.  This type of appreciation includes understanding, and allowing. It appreciates process where the first type of appreciation enjoys the fruits of process, the results. When you appreciate where you or another person is in their growth, that appreciation is a form of care. It creates a coherent heart field that automatically radiates outward from you as support.

There is a power and value ignited when you appreciate the process something or someone is in, where they are now and where they are going. This is to appreciate evolution, growth, and change, and in appreciating that, to support it. In the Talmud it says, “Every grass blade has an angel over it whispering, “Grow, grow, grow.” When you appreciate things and people in their growth, without needing them to be perfect, you become the angel that facilitates their evolution and growth. This is a very exciting form of appreciation when you can key into its potency. It ultimately brings you back to the right side of our triangle or cross, where you appreciate the inherent value of things. Because when you can truly celebrate and thereby support the growth and evolution of something, you tap into its essence beyond the temporary struggle or challenge it faces. And at the core essence of things there is always something to appreciate.

Appreciating Challenge = Soul’s View and Personal Growth

If your life mirrors mine, there are also some things that seem simply impossible to appreciate at all.

Things that don’t seem to have intrinsic value, and don’t seem to be evolving or growing or changing.

Things that you just plain wish did not happen or did not exist. These are the toughest things to appreciate. These people, behaviors, situations, events, go at the very top of the triangle. How’s that? How can the things that bottom you out be at the top? 

These are the things that are growing you. They are stretching you beyond your comfort zone or beyond your appreciation muscle where it currently is. When you can at least appreciate that they’re bringing you growth, you can still tap into all the physical, emotional and spiritual benefits of appreciation, and still stand a good chance of getting the gift these irritants are the carrier pigeons of. It is this category of things that deepen us the most and cause us to rise the highest in our individual personal growth.

These are the life situations which most support us to deepen in our hearts and challenge us to reach for the pinnacle of perception from a higher point of view. These are they grains of sand in the oyster shell that will turn us into pearls with a little appreciation. They are the pressure on our coal to turn us into diamonds. At the very least, our efforts to appreciate in the face of a challenge strengthens our muscle to appreciate what is around us and fills us with more of the other two forms of appreciation.

The very top of the triangle is the top down perspective- it is your soul’s view of things. What I experience at the top of the cross of appreciation is the insight and growth of the pinnacle of the triangle, after I am willing to go deep and appreciate the things that are the most difficult to appreciate, the things that are demanding that I grow and change my points of view. Going deep down to appreciate that which is difficult is like a giant tree rooting deeper, which allows it to grow higher. As soon as you can appreciate a challenge, the appreciation itself facilitates your higher brain function through heart coherence, and you get to see the challenge itself in a new way. But it does more than that. As it facilitates your higher brain to perceive challenges in a new way, appreciation also opens your senses to receive more of life and therefore amplifies and increases your experience of intrinsic value all around you. How much of life do you want to receive? Appreciation is an access code to receiving immediate abundance and prosperity, without anything else in your world changing. The deeper your foundation, the wider your reach can be.

Filled With Appreciation: Manya, an great example for all
I have never met anyone who was more filled with appreciation than Manya, my beloved adopted German grandmother who survived Auschwitz as a teenager. Manya was like an angel that appeared in my life. Because I nearly crumpled at times under what I perceived to be minor challenges, I always wondered how a person could survive something as devastating as the holocaust. When I helped Manya to transcribe her life story into book form, she brought the answer to that question to me: appreciation. While she did not appreciate what the Nazis did to her, she appreciated how spiritually connected and strong the challenges she faced made her. This did not show up for her as a Pollyanna cover-up approach during the holocaust. It was a real and genuine power tool that she attributes to saving her life. It amazes me how Manya, in the worst of circumstances, could always find something to appreciate. In Auschwitz she described the tar roofed bunkers, which delighted her because without proper clothes in the freezing cold Polish winter, she could lean against them during the day and warm herself as the tar heated in the sun. She also loved to sing, and because she appreciated singing so much, she would sing to the other children in the camp to soothe them. A woman walking by the camp heard her, and demanded that the camp guards allow her to take Manya home because she loved her voice. Appreciation got Manya out of the camps, and led her to be one of the few people that was rescued from the Shoah and brought by boat to the United States by Franklin Roosevelt.  Now, she is the most joyful person I know to do things with because she notices the simplest details wherever we are, and she appreciates everything. From the color someone has chosen for the trim in their room, to the cherry tomatoes fresh out of the garden, you can bet that Manya will notice and acknowledge everything with gratitude. Nothing slips through her appreciative eye. Because so much was taken from her in her life, she appreciates for dear life all that she has. And it is contagious- everyone, of all ages, clamors to be around Manya because she has so little entitlement and so much gratitude.

Appreciation Frees Us
Appreciation frees us of the bondage of judgments and affords us greater understanding. When people behave in ways that are difficult for us to understand or difficult for us to relate with they are generally out of balance in some way. This means that their heart rhythms are disordered, they are agitated and uncomfortable, and their higher brain centers are shut down. Whatever a person in this incoherent state says or does has less conscious accountability than someone who is actively appreciating. When you really understand this, it is natural not to take people’s criticisms, attacks, or agitation personally, and to respond with compassion for the discomfort and distortion they must be in. Your compassion is a form of appreciation for their situation, and it radiates in their direction to support more coherence, more clarity, more release and more growth. It is a win/win.

Appreciate the Inherent Value Of Things
I have come to a place where I don’t appreciate the things that grow me any less than I appreciate the inherent value of things. I don’t see challenges as a downer anymore, only because I was taught to look at them through the heart. My heart values my growth as a spirit above all else. I value the relationships that challenge me. I seek out relationships that grow me.

Appreciate Difficult Things To Appreciate
How wide and how deep do you want your triangle to go? The more you appreciate difficult things to appreciate, the deeper it goes, the more foundation it has, the wider the spectrum of value you can experience in life, and the higher your view can ascend to see things in a new and insightful way.

With care from the heart,
Sheva Carr

The love bucket does not runneth over, it expands to receive MORE LOVE – more love in the LOVE BUCKET.

Adultery does not fill the love bucket

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010 Posted in SEX, Sherrie Rose Recommends | No Comments »

The Love Linguist goes to the Dictionary to share the story about ‘Why is it called “adultery” when being unfaithful isn’t a particularly “adult” thing to do?’

A celebrity marriage spotlight has raised some very grown-up questions about the words we use to talk about love, commitment and desire, and particularly adultery.

Gossip-mongers look for stories and are transfixed by the curious romantic situations of TV and movie star celebrities.

adultery thumb Adultery does not fill the love bucket Where would “People” magazine or “US” be without celebrity gossip. These salacious scenarios are exactly what we need for an excuse to look at a dilemma of language that is as enigmatic as the state of celebrity marriage: the complexities of “adult” and “adultery.” How can such similar words have such different meanings?

Remarkably, the answer is that the words don’t share a common ancestor. “Adult” comes from the Latin verb adolescere, “to grow up, mature.” Students of Latin will understand what we mean when we say that adultus is the pluperfect of adolescere. Adultery, on the other hand, derives from a French word, avoutre, which in turn evolved from a distinct Latin verb, adulterare, “to corrupt.” The verb adulterate, “to debase or make impure by adding inferior materials or elements,” stems from the same source.

The sense of “adult” that means pornographic emerged as a kind of reverse assumption that adult and adultery have more direct links than they do.

Let’s look at the dictionary definition of adultery: “voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse.” In fact, there are two types: single adultery (with an unmarried person) and double adultery (with a married person.) Here is the definition of adult: “having attained full size and strength; grown up; mature.”

What conclusions can we draw regarding relationships from these twists of etymology? Maybe that a real-life definition of adult is the condition of being responsible for our choices, and that the choice of whom to love and honor is probably the most adult decision of all.

Five Ways to Turn No into Yes (and Fill Her Love Bucket!)

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010 Posted in Dating, Mating, Relating, Her Love Bucket, Sherrie Rose Recommends, The Love Bucket® | No Comments »

Five Ways to Turn No into Yes (and Fill Her Love Bucket!)

clip image001 thumb Five Ways to Turn No into Yes (and Fill Her Love Bucket!) No is a very powerful word.

It’s one too easily spoken, as any parent of a small child will tell you. It’s also detrimental to your love and sex life, because it’s an absolute brick wall of resistance.

The minute a potential lover or your current wife or girlfriend says no, you’ve either lost a night of passion or possibly a lifetime of love. You will have to pull out some pretty convincing arguments to sway her back to a YES. Chances are you’re not going to make it.

It’s much harder to change her mind when it’s already made up.

Here are practical tips on how to turn a woman’s no into yes, where you’ll learn specific resistance you’ll face and how to magically turn it into passion and love.

First, Address the Doubts

To believe that a woman is immediately going say, “This guy is exactly who I want – or – This guy is the man I want to take home tonight,” is a belief best left to delusional dreamers. (Of which you are not one, because only smart guys read the love bucket blog.)

Everyone has doubts. You have them, I have them, potential lover or current lady has them.

Now, no one enjoys having doubts, because they make us feel worried and uncertain and unsure. That’s not a good place to be, and instinctively, we know it. So we seek reassurance that erases our doubts and takes them away.

We look to be confident. When we feel confident, we feel able to make good decisions that are right for — which include, of course, saying, “Yes, this is exactly what I need.”

So address those doubts in your interactions. Put them on the table right from the start. Show her that you know she has concerns and worries, and give her the appropriate answer that provides reassurance to her.

This doesn’t mean raising questions that weren’t there to begin with. What it means is acknowledging potential questions and concerns and responding to them appropriately before the she picks her own response that might be NO.

The Best Example: Your Local Garage

Boats and cars are often given a woman’s name. Sometimes women think guys love their cars more than them. They spend time shining, polishing, and driving the “mistress.”

So, following the car theme, here’s an example of how you can address your lady’s doubts:

Let’s say your garage mechanic tells you that repairing your car will cost you $800. You can bet that you’ll have buyer resistance, and it’s highly unlikely that you’ll say, “This is exactly what I need!”

It’s far more likely you’re already trying to figure out how to get out of paying that amount.

Then your mechanic says, “I’m sure you’re wondering how necessary it is to repair these parts.” And he proceeds to tell you exactly how unsafe your car becomes if you don’t have them repaired — and if you have kids, he points out, and their safety means everything.

Then your mechanic says, “Now I know you’re probably wondering whether you can wait a while. But let me explain why that’s a bad idea.” He goes on to show how much more costly repairs will be if you don’t get this fixed soon.

By now, you’re not thinking about how to get out of the repairs. You’re into thinking about where you’ll get the money to pay for it all. You’ve already started moving from no to yes.

The mechanic doesn’t really know what’s going through your mind, but what he’s doing is covering his bases. He’s presuming you might have doubts, he’s assuming which doubts you might have, and he’s addressing them before you even voice them aloud.

If he guesses wrong? No problem — call it extra bonus arguments. You know, just in case. And if he guesses right? Then you haven’t had to say a word, and you have all the answers you need.

Be that proactive in your interactions. Assume the arguments, address them with confidence, reassure your lady and you’ll be turning no into yes before you know it.

How do you feel about addressing doubts in your interactions? Are you great at dismantling arguments? Do you hate forking money over to the auto-garage? And how reassured will she be when her doubts are addressed?

The War of the Sexes is One Filled With Battles

It’s your style, words, actions and integrity that will sway her, and her defensive shields are strong — so very strong. Each time you valiantly knock down an argument she’s presented, verbally or silently, another flies up, as if she’s creating them right out of thin air.

=> “You aren’t forcing her to say yes; you’re taking away her reasons to say no.”

SHE holds all the power, the final decision, the last word. But if you’ve played your cards right and taken away all her reasons to say no, the only word she’ll have left to say is, “YES.”

How do you take away her reasons to say no? Here are five ways to do just that:

“I Don’t Need You.”

When she tells you, verbally or silently, she doesn’t need you what she’s really saying is that she doesn’t want you – RIGHT NOW. There’s a huge difference between need and want and timing.

Take the lowly car, for example. We don’t need more than a basic box with wheels that gets us from A to B, but we consistently buy vehicles that offer far more luxury, bells and whistles — and we pay dearly for them too.

What you do as a Masterman, is turn needs into wants. Tell her why she wants you and start with gestures, innuendo, create intrigue, and a sense of mystery. Get her juices flowing. Get down and dirty in desire, play up how much her life will change for the better and let her visualize how fantastic her future will be – or the evening. You’ll be changing “I don’t need you” into “I want you so bad I can taste it” in no time.

“I’m Busy.”

Let’s face it. When she wants something — really, really wants something — she’ll find a way to make it happen. She’ll put on the right clothes, strut around, make those come hither glances. She’ll wear those stiletto heels until she’s straining. She’ll even go into debt to buy a dress if she thinks it will help her hook her man.

What you need to make sure she wants you and then you need to make sure YOU ARE *THE* PRIORITY above all other guys in her universe. Show her the benefits you offer and convey the value of what you bring to her.

Make her laugh. Make her an offer too good to pass up. Make it unmistakably clear to her that turning away from you now means losing out in the long run. And make it irresistible — she can’t afford not to take you up on your offer.

“Hmmm… Maybe Later.”

If she’s not feeling the need to give you her attention right now, there’s been a misfire on the priority front. You can guarantee she won’t be back, because out of sight is out of mind. Or, maybe she actually does want to think over her decision to be sure it’s the right one for her (which is fine), but to leave her thinking too long without some form of contact, well, she’ll just plain forget.

Or something more important comes up. And there’s no time left for you.

Convey the priority for her consider your offer now. Give it a timeframe with a “reward” like you’ll give her the foot massage or her dreams (women love this especially if they don’t think there are any strings attached) Give rewards for her “YES” so she’s looking forward to being with you.

“I Don’t Really Know Who You Are.”

If you are trying to meet women and this is your first encounter, this really means, “Why should I date… YOU?” And this baby is a big one these days, with all sorts of unknown guys cropping up with slick lines and cocky claims. No gal wants to risk wasting her time (read: looks and fertility) on some guy who’s a loser.

Show her you’re trustworthy by showing her you’re a gentleman. Eventually she’ll ask about your details: credentials, skills, background, history and family that she’ll need to trust and believe you are who you say you are. Downplay the weird stuff at the beginning (everyone has some) and talk up the things you have in common. Yes, ask her what she likes so you can see if you have anything in common more than sexual chemistry.

She’ll read you fast enough, so be honest; it shows.

The Value of No

If you don’t get the date or the evening of romance you hoped for, don’t despair. There’s a positive in every negative, which means there’s a yes in every no.

There’s a learning experience in why your she didn’t go out on a date or take you up on your sizzling evening offer. Take the opportunity to climb into her head and find out what you need to understand. There are 7 Ways to Fill Her Love Bucket. And there are 5 Love Dynamics. Learn more so you can be a masterman with women.

Which means less “NO” the next time.

You’re not going to change their mind; she’s said no already TODAY, but you do have another chance.

If she did say “YES” at some point after, ask her what might have swayed her to say yes. You’ll probably be surprised at her answer. By understanding what makes her tick you’ll just get better and better at her saying “YES” the next time.

December 25, 1776: Surprise Fills The Love Bucket?

Thursday, July 8th, 2010 Posted in Her Love Bucket, Sherrie Rose Recommends | No Comments »

It was the eve of December 25th, 1776.

General George Washington was reeling from his crushing defeats in New York. In a bold and daring move, he had decided to cross the ice-filled Delaware River and attack Trenton, New Jersey. He planned to surprise the thousands of Hessian troops guarding that portal.

He did not know that his surprise attack was almost no surprise.

A farmer, a British sympathizer knocked on the door where the Hessian Commander, Colonel Johann Rall was attending a holiday party. Colonel Rall had always scoffed at the thought of attack, boasting, “Those clod-hoppers will not attack us!”

The farmer had heard of the plans and seen the movement across the shore. He wanted to get the message to the Colonel but he could not get past a servant who accepted a note which spelled out General Washington’s plans and handed it to the commander. Colonel Rall, however, was in the middle of a card game and would not be interrupted. He stuffed the paper in his pocket without even glancing at it. He continued playing through the night until he collapsed from drunken exhaustion.

At dawn, Washington attacked. His ammunition was so waterlogged that his troops could hardly fire a shot. They did not need to. The Hessians were drowsy from the previous night’s festivities and the Colonial Army’s bayonets were as sharp as the troops’ spirit.

After an overwhelming onslaught in which the colonists took nearly 900 prisoners, Colonel Rall who was mortally wounded, surrendered. As the doctor cut away his jacket, a note fell out. Colonel Rall read it and mournfully said, “If I only had read this last night, I would not be here today.”

It takes effort to plan and prepare and fill the love bucket.  What has you so busy that you forget to give the proper attention to filling the love bucket? 

It may not be a matter of life or death, but every little bit of effort fills the love bucket.  Consistency and regular effort wins the day!
