The massage is outside amidst lush tropical gardens in Hawaii overlooking the ocean in my private “hale.” Gentle breezes brush my naked body. The sounds of the ocean calm my mind, body and soul. The silence allows my body to float with ecstasy receiving the warmth of the shells as I close my eyes and allow my body to receive it ALL. The massage ends with my body awakening in absolute bliss. I am told to take all the time I want to enjoy the breezes, the moment. My hand slips downward toward my “magic genie” clitoris. Reaching over with my other hand, I find the tube of Aloe Cadabra scent of French Lavender that I brought along for this moment, hoping I could experience this. My hands join together in the touch, the stroking, and the bliss. The aloe feels smooth and silky and blends with the smell of the Hawaiian island flowers in the garden. I feel so alive in every cell of my body, mind, and soul. I am coming, coming, coming… into joy that goes beyond everything I have ever known. I savor this moment, and will always!
Ecstatic Dancing with the Dolphins
My lover and I are alone on the beach. The dolphins are dancing gracefully in the water before us! The sun warms our bodies. The water sparkles as the dolphins circle and play. As we embrace, we feel a gentle breeze. We watch their dance to their own music. Such amazing creatures! Playfully we attempt to “dance” and move like them… then laugh as we fall together onto our beach blankets, avoiding the sand, and protecting the Mai Tai’s. This is an experience of bliss… as we gently massage each other happy that we have this time together to simply “BE.” (not have to “DO”) Can we be this smooth and graceful?… perhaps if we slow down to enjoy every moment. Let’s make this moment last forever. We each reach for some juicy Aloe Cadabra, warmed by the sun… the picture on the tube IS that graceful movement like the dolphins! Slowly as we stroke our bodies, we come to a moment of true ecstasy… the music of our bodies crescendos, the orchestra joins together, and the climax of the music opens our bodies and souls joyously with gratitude for this experience. Let’s dance some more! Thank you dolphins.

Yes! Help for Vaginal Dryness is Here
The topic of vaginal dryness is so common among women particularly between the ages of 40 and 60 that it is often a topic to be shared when the “girls” get together. Yes, it is a problem that forms a common bond, and has a definite effect on the sex life. Check out the facts below.
A healthy vagina, which is made up of many layers of cells, stays lubricated with clear fluid, which keeps the vagina healthy, elastic and noticeable when you are aroused. How much lubrication occurs is determined and affected by different factors such as: low estrogen, menopause, stress, fatigue, chemo therapy, medications, allergies, pregnancy, childbirth, drying and chemically based soaps, and of course emotional stress.
Dryness can cause irritation, itching and burning, avoidance of sexual intercourse, and lack of libido, thinning and drying of the vaginal wall. Emotional stress can be a huge factor in dryness. Many women believe and have heard that sexual drive/libido is supposed to go away during menopause. Literature and studies have shown, however, that sex drive is not automatically assumed to be a factor in menopause.
Some 80% of women report symptoms of vaginal dryness during perimenopause and menopause. Other studies indicate that 95% of women report some occasional vaginal dryness.
OK…those are some facts. Now let’s deal with some solutions and create healthy ways to have a relationship between the body, and sexual experiences. What can YOU do?
1. Drink plenty of water (not soda) to ensure that the body is well hydrated. Balance the diet. Add some nutritional supplements if needed.
2. Be careful about using harsh chemicals, soaps, douches and other products containing allergens, dyes and fragrances.
3. Exercise to increase the “chi” or chi energy and breath moving through the body.
4. Stimulate your sexual organs. Lubrication may take a bit longer, but it is still there. Spend time self pleasuring. With a partner, slow down, take your time.
5. Use some personal lubricant that is natural, and will help to restore your own vaginal moisture. Aloe Cadabra is a magical gel that is 95% organic aloe.
6. Affirm you! You may be getting older, but certainly sexual activity can be joyous and exciting. Keep the juices flowing.

Stressors and Natural Lubrication
Do we need to name the main stressors we face daily? We suggest a few: financial strain, job stress, health concerns, relationship difficulties, and of course the kids. These stressors stop our bodies from feeling fluid (and fluidity in the mind, body, and spirit creates fluidity in natural lubrication of the physical and sexual body). We may not realize how much these stressors affect us until we try to do too much, and adding the pressure of sexual expression to the list of “I must and I should and I have to.” STOP, in the Name of Love,(as sung by the Supremes.) Our Super woman or Superman uniform becomes our life as we run to try to catch up (and we never do). Vaginal dryness is a HUGE factor in how we respond to stress. Choose to change this pattern NOW.
Take three steps back as you identify stress that clearly affects you, and your ability to breathe and move through life with ease. Then breathe three deep breaths….SLOWLY….SLOWLY…….SLOWLY. Now take a look at what must be done, perhaps making a list of the top four things that you are stressed about, and balance those things with some ways to balance YOU. Take a walk, put on some favorite music and let your body move, sing, play the drums, and BREATHE some more. Now open the drawer and take out your Aloe Cadabra and enjoy the moment of release into deep relaxation, fluidity, and JOY! Choose a scent that fits that moment. DO NOT think about anything else other than breathing and enjoying. (The stressors will wait.) Add some favorite fruit to engage your senses. HAVE fun and practice this way to balance life stressors and YOU.
