Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Paddle-boating Your Way Through Life

I was talking about one of them with my client a few years ago… as she had gone on a paddle board outing. We both love how on a paddle board you have to be alert, strong and aware, yet you can’t be tight, in control or rigid or you fall off… it’s SUCH a metaphor for life and SUCH a great way to see how your partner reacts to life.

I just LOVE paddle boarding at my sister’s cabin at the lake in Canada, or near my friend’s place in Long Beach. I’ve boarded on reservoirs in Montana and with my friend down in Dana Point on Mother’s Day. My son and I just went one weekend in Marina Del Re and saw these sea lions adoring their new home on the back of a killer yacht!

You really have to let go to the waves, while staying open and alert… if you paddle board with a date, this makes you really sense how you and your date will navigate life’s mystery. AND once they’ve got the hang of it, it’s very similar to how they’ll be making love… will they tense up if things get choppy? Do they look down at their feet or the waves or up to the horizon? So much is revealed in whether we stay in our bodies and breathe, or leave our bodies and spin in our minds.

I used to have a coach that took me rollerblading or tightrope walking for this very same reason and it was wild to finally reach that sweet spot where you let go to the mystery and ride the wave of your knowing.

LIFE is so amazing!

HUGE love,

Allana

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Boyfriend Was Rude To Disabled Brother

Q: For about a year, I have been dating (what I thought) was a wonderful man.  I am very protective of my disabled brother so I am hesitant to introduce men in my life to him.  This guy was different so I wanted him to understand that if he was going to be a part of my life, he was going to be a part of my brother’s as well. The way he acted towards him was atrocious! He ignored him and if my brother made contact, he jumped as if my brother’s disability would rub off on him!  I thought he was the one but now I am not sure.  Thoughts? A: I’m so sorry love.  This experience must trouble your heart in two ways – how he treated your brother and disappointment for believing he was the one.  While I do not condone his behavior, I must say that people have a tendency to act unpredictable and/or unkind when they are around people who are different from them.  Through education and practice, people can change.  Would you be open to communicating with yo...
