Lovemaking as a spiritual experience

1. In my opinion, this book is focused on couple’s lovemaking experiences as a

spiritual practice. It explains the different techniques that people could use in order
to get a better connection when they are having sex. Although this book has explicit
content, the author tries to explain that lovemaking is not a rude topic. Also, it could
be an explicative text as an introduction for people who want to get more
knowledge about those sexual practices that involve energy and attitude. According
to the above, I think that in some time of our sexual experience it would be really
important to put in practice some of the techniques that were explained in the book
because it can improve our relationship with our beloved.

2. Due to the expressions that are used in the book, I consider that it is written for
adults that want to get into the spiritual path of sexuality. It is a book for open mind
people that want to have romance, connection and a better relation with his/her
partner. Also, it could help young people to have healthy sex and go deeper into
spirituality relationships with their couple.

3. It has some difficult parts of reading in which the author mentioned unknown terms
that I did not know as tantra, Taoism and different words referring to East culture. It
will be a little bit hard to read for people that do not know anything about it. But in
general, the book is easy to read in terms of vocabulary, the way he developed the
story and his experiences with that practice.
Focusing the Conceptual Lens on Metacognition, Self-regulation, and Self-regulated
Learning

1. This is an investigative article, which has some researches about the learning
process and the type of measures that it has used. I think it is an academic text that
can be used for studying other science branches in order to explain how the brain
works in the learning development of the human being. 

2. The structure of the article allows noticing that it is written for university students,
professors, psychology researchers and psychologists who are related to
metacognition and self-regulated learning processes. This article has different
references and quotes that could be useful for those who want to improve their
learning in different ways.

3. This type of text is the most difficult to read; there are a lot of scientific expressions
that common people may not know. It was hard for me due to the lack of this kind
of words in my vocabulary. Also, there are some figures and tables that I could not
understand because those were not clear at all.
