Welcome to another day on this new daily blog! Every day you get:
(1) a story
Ranging from anywhere between
– a 2000 word blogpost, lavishly wrapped under, over and around, all things yoga and Bon Jovi;
– to refreshingly missing!

Ironically, I thought No Way, I m going to pull off writing a story today!
Not the writing itself, because I write quicker than I read:
But the research.

The past couple of days the posts on this blog cost me a fair amount of research time. I constantly had to Google things, which was very time consuming.
Time I do not have today.

So I thought: “Well, let’s make this one without a story then.”
Until I realized it was just the research, I couldn’t do today. So I can write about things I can just pull off the mental shelf;
Rock Star sexual capital, is such a topic!

As is totally punned and the appropriate location today, you can find the  story about sexual capital, below, at the bottom half of this post. 😎

But before we get there!
You get: 
(2) a Bon Jovi concert, a soundtrack for today
Also added to the on-this-day playlist, with all the concerts from this blog:
Bon Jovi concerts on this day

(3) a yoga practice you can do, based on the day of the week.

The concert part!
What concerts were played on July 7? 

 

🗓️🎶🎸Bon Jovi July 7.

There are two pre-1997 concerts recording for July 7;

July 7:

Cross Road/ These Days Tour:
7 July 1995, Odense, Denmark, Midtfyns Festival
YouTube upload:
Bon Jovi – Live in Odense, Denmark 1995 [FULL]

Cross Road/ These Days Tour:
7 July 1996, Milton Keynes, England, National Bowl (second night)
YouTube upload:
Bon Jovi – Milton Keynes National Bowl 07.07.1996 (2nd show – nearly full audio)

The first Milton Keynes night, on 6 July, did not have a YouTube upload, but  the setlist is known.

And the the concert page from the second night , gives us a clue they made some adjustments, based on the experiences the night before:

“Rockin’ In The Free World opens the show!

Wild In The Steets is placed early, as is Hey God. Heavy wind had caused massive sound fluctuations over both nights which lead to the band having had problems in working the audience the previous show. This is probably why they went for a full-blown rockin’ start this time around.

Lie To Me Is back and gets favored over Diamond Ring / Bed Of Roses.

Bed Of Roses had initially been dropped and the band didn’t plan on doing it, but changed it on the spot due to multiple requests and had it open their final encore.”

Therefor:

7 JuLY 1996, Milton Keynes, England🇬🇧
Bon Jovi – Milton Keynes National Bowl 07.07.1996 (2nd show – nearly full audio)
is the soundtrack for today

.
Both performances are added to the playlist 
“Bon Jovi concerts on this day” (on July 7)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiGoDE3C06ScAo9UN4GyhtQWYfl3d6jMT

And the show from 1995 Odense, Denmark will stay on stand-by for when we don’t have an on-this-day recording.

Rock Star (meaning YOU!) “sexual capital”

👩🏼‍💻 the story July 7

.
There are definitely times when I wish I had taken the building of my business (at that time, my yoga business) as seriously as creating the sex/dating/love life I wanted.
And present tense, meaning that wish is not just a thing of the past;
It still is.
That I would be as certain now, in my career as a Rock Star Writer and Yoga Teacher, as I am in my sex/dating/love life. 
Or even, that I had the same decisiveness of setting out on a quest to figure it out!
Just like I had, with regard to figuring out my dating and sex life, fifteen years ago.

In my 30s, I rebooted my love and dating life. I knew what I wanted, and I knew the most important thing was to stick to my guns.
To not be swayed, just because what I wanted was not the norm.

Because in hindsight- that was the sad thing, about how I had turned up off-path, with my love life- 
In hindsight I had already known everything that was true for me, when I was 15, 16 years old.
Just that I had let the fears and beliefs of others, get the better of me, and that had made me end up in relationships where those fears (that were not even my own) were bypassed.
Great relationships with amazing men, for sure!

But that had never been what I wanted:
I wanted adventures with the wicked!
With the rock stars, of this earth.

I didn’t know all that when I went on my quest, to find the right path.
In fact, I had internalized the views that were not my own and thought that after I had had my fun with new men, with whom I had been very much in love, and had enjoyed our glorious ten-times-a-day phase and then sadly drifted apart (sadly, but not really sadly of course);
That after those perhaps a bit drama-filled years where I got my heart broken all the time, I would come back to the same long-term relationships with the same amazing men.

Except;
I didn’t.
And I never will.
I ll take one day of adventure with a man who has cracked my heart open like a walnut, and who leaves me in a sea of tears;
Over a lifetime of bliss, with an amazing man.

Because after I have recovered from that blow to my emotional system?
I do feel strong. 
I do feel on top of the world.
It took me a while, but now I understand that I thrive on that challenge, to get back on my feet.
To learn how to CARRY myself, to learn how to SURVIVE (emotionally).
To learn how to use that pain of being sidelined, and losing him, at a stage when I was not expecting it, and no longer prepared to have “him do that to me”, and yet?
It has become my favorite way to grow.

I d rather grow like that, than meditate for ten days, or even than to meditate at all! 
I ve grown fond of it, that is the point I want to bring across, before I continue. So you understand that even without the wealth I discovered I had accumulated, you understand that I would not go back.
That I love being in it, at least as much as what I get out of it.

Which is “sexual capital”.

Sexual or erotic capital is a term coined in 2010, although it was around before that.
I use that word here, so that you know that if you like more background information, you know what to look for.
Because the terms sexual capital and erotic capital, have been the closest thing I have found, that describe the wealth I found.
But there is one major difference!

Hence the quotation marks in the title:
“sexual capital”

Where sexual capital is the word to describe how to leverage your sexual attractiveness to gain things in the real world
(changing it for other forms of economic capital);
Sexual capital ->quotation marks<- means;
Wealth, health, sexual energy that you feel YOURSELF.

To feel creative, sexual energy flowing through you, nourish you and feed you, in a way that would make you a millionaire if I could bottle that up.

Over 15 years after I set out on my quest, I understand very well, WHY I would never go back to those fun, healthy relationships with amazing men, and prefer one night with the wicked;
Because the latter gives me a ton of this sexual energy, and the years with the great relationships with amazing men, didn’t give me that.
They did not deliver the one thing I craved, which was that feeling of aliveness!

And I think it is this feeling of aliveness, of freedom, of sexual adventure, that a true rock star (true as in: making music and being on stage) conveys.
And that you and I feel, when we’re standing in the crowd, and feel that rush of energy.

Without them knowing who we are, and without us being in some kind of sexual affair, we have an energetic affair with the rock star.
We have a few hours together that we will absolutely never forget, and that will change who we are.

My biggest lesson to you, and one I do not have to research, is;
That is the secret of energy, that is the secret of life.

To learn to receive high amounts of energy, and process it, integrate it, make it your own.
And learn to begin to transmute that energy, just ever so slightly before they move away.
Learn how to start integrating that energy, that you were exposed to in such high doses-
either at the concert or with someone in your life or bed.

To learn to survive the parting, and to then thrive, because you now possess that energy yourself.

That is how you gain Rock Star’s sexual capital.
Inadvertently, because you weren’t even trying.

All you knew was that it rocked your world.
