Interview from Phil and Maude Mayes

Image
“What’s your holistic message on relationships now and how does that differ from, say, 20 years ago?” Phil and Maude Mayes Maude : Our core message is that it is possible to have joyful, passionate, conflict free relationships. Twenty years ago this was a fantasy I had of relationships. Today it is a reality I live. Phil : The number one message is to let the other person be who they are. Don’t try to adjust or control them in any way. It never works in the long run; it leads to conflicts, it leaves the other person feeling unheard, unappreciated and under attack. In contrast , fully accepting the other person offers a space for them to grow, breathe, live and explore. Twenty years ago I could not have verbalized that, though to what extent I practiced it is hard to say. I know that in former relationships, I spent much energy defending and meeting my own needs. “What would you tell a young man about relationships?” Phil : I’ll start this by te...

I’m so freaking confused! What’s she mean when she talks? Huh? – Said Every Man Since The Dawn Of Time It’s not any kind of secret language , but still men have difficulty in understanding those simple words that women say. Well, it’s not actually words with secret meanings, but simple words and basic things. Since decades, men have remained wondering about women, their ways, their behavior and especially their words. Some men even think women to be mysterious creatures just because they didn’t know what women’s words meant. And now, to set the record straight, women have a few words for men. Of course, with explanations! Fine… The word every women uses to end an argument is ‘Fine.’ Just as you got the word ‘Fine’ out of her mouth, don’t think you won. She knows that she is right, but said it, to shut you up, as she realized that you will not abide by or acknowledge her superior judgment. So, wait for Round T...

Why Complicate Your Life?

Is The Zen of Relationships Your Vocal Cords? I have a relationship where I’m an external person (I much prefer to talk) and she’s an internal thinker (she prefers to mull things over in her head first). Both are fine but it raises the question or maybe questions as to how best to communicate. And let me tell you, this scenario has caused some conflict in working out disagreements. Thankfully, we both love each other deeply and life is a learning experience and always will be. Can everyone’s relationship be peaceful and open? What does it take for a couple to attain Zen and Harmony? The Easy Ones Well, some of the points above are so easy for both of us. Saying I Love You? That’s an easy one for most people already in a relationship and carrying an true expression Like something? Usually that’s pretty easy as well. Granted, it’s going to be different for everyone and we all have a thinking process that differs from our partner – I get that to...
