Article: In order to create active voice, you need to make sure that the subject is acting, that is the subject in the one doing the verb. We've established that the verb is the action word in the sentence. Make sure the "who or what did the action" is actually performing the action. The dog wagged its tail is active voice. That's because the act of wagging is the verb. Who or what did the wagging? The dog. The dog in the sentence is performing the verb, wagging. Thus, the sentence is in active voice. Passive voice involves making a compound verb by using the phrase "to be" or any of its conjugations. A sentence is also in the passive voice if the thing that is doing the verb is preceded by the prepositional phrase "by the" or "by a", or the thing doing the action may be completely eliminated. For example, The tail was wagged by the dog is passive voice. This is because the tail, the subject, is being acted upon by the verb. Sometimes people eliminate the prepositional phrase describing who the action was being done by, and write a sentence like: The tail was wagged. This is often done to eliminate responsibility or when people don't know who did the action.

Lie down in a quiet place, either in silence or with sounds that will aid in relaxation (such as running water or the sound of the ocean). Focus on your breathing, imagining a healing white light entering your body with each inhale, and stresses and negativity exiting your body with each exhale. Place stones on the corresponding chakra. Imagine the stones as a glowing sphere in each color; visualize energy that is the same color as the stone, passing through the stone and entering into the chakra until you can clearly visualize that chakra as a large, glowing sphere of the appropriate color. Ascend or descend based on your goals for the session.
Article: A slow song will be easiest for you to sync your movements when dancing. Consider something romantically themed or significant to your partner, like a favorite song. Some DJs accept requests. Requesting a song and asking when that song will be played will help you time your approach. Make full eye contact with you dance partner. Ask her if she would like to dance, but try to make your request in a way that is true to yourself. This will let her know that this is a special moment you want to share with her. You might ask: May I have the pleasure of this dance? I would be honored if you would do me the pleasure of having this dance. There's no one else I'd rather dance with. Shall we? It's important that you respect her decision, no matter the outcome. Just as it was difficult for you to ask, it will likely be difficult for her to refuse and hurt your feelings. If you notice hesitation, try to be graceful, and never force yourself on your partner. It can alleviate a lot of stress if you come up with a backup plan before making your request. Approach a friend you are comfortable with and explain your situation. If your friend is willing to be your backup, even if you get shot down, you can still have a blast on the dance floor. Be careful not to lead on your friend romantically. Some may have hidden feelings with you, and if this is the case, they may interpret your request as insensitive. Hold out your hand to escort her to the dance floor. Wait until she takes your hand, walking slightly ahead of her to lead her to your spot on the floor.

Choose your moment. Request a dance. Wait for her response. Take the floor.
