The power of the mind/body/spirit connection in reducing dryness during menopause:
Did you know that visualizing and exploring the images that appear, can actually help in reducing dryness? A group of women were comparing notes….several women were sharing about how they felt great about this time of life. They said, this time is richer, more meaningful. They visualized their vaginas as pink, moist, ready to receive the good in this time of life. They were full of excitement taking more time for themselves. They felt and were healthy, and so were their images, and their sex lives. They desired the connection to their bodies. The others listened, asked questions, and as they practiced visualizing, became good at exploring the images. Suddenly their sex lives improved. They danced with ideas and fantasies. They played with Aloe Cadabra as they realized the incredible scents available to their fantasies…which one today?
Exercise your body and also your sexual body. Feel the release and you simply take some time to be with you. Fast or slow, you decide. Take some Aloe Cadabra along for the ride. Use your voice, squeal with glee. Have fun. Ride on!
For some women the lack of libido is in decline. So why not practice some Tai Ji, and Qi Gong which is focused on bringing the life force energy and “chi” into the body/mind/and spirit. Move the body. Put on some favorite music. The body knows what to do. Imagine the chi, life energy awakening inside your body. Each cell, each joint, each muscle, awakens to new life. Don’t worry about the form. Just move and enjoy, and PLAY. Then notice inside your body. What do you experience? Do you feel the “juices” of the life energy flowing? Do you feel fluid? Enjoy your body.
We are and have been under extreme pressure to conceive. After all, we are getting to that deadline in age. Each time we try to conceive, we both get nervous, and it just becomes an exercise in pushing the limit. Let’s try something else. Imagine all the cells in the body ready to receive. Scan your body. If there are some cells that are not ready to receive, simply ask them what they might need in order to receive. This may sound a bit crazy, but it does help to explore what the blocks are to conceiving. Listen carefully to the wonderful wisdom of the body. This is what is called a “full body response.” Then check out the images that may be coming up. Observe, notice, and gather information about those images. Do not try to fix or change them. Those images might just guide you into another image. Use some lubricant so you can take the time to explore those images….SLOWLY. Relax into the feeling of connection to your body, and to your partner’s body, and/or to the receiving of sperm to join with the egg in creation.
