Yogis,
This week we dove off the solid banks of earth into the
watery realm of Svadhisthana …..our sacral chakra. The element of water. Our creativity, moisture, fluidity, desire
and sensuality. The feminine. Interestingly enough, the Post ran two
articles this week on the impact of aging on women’s sexuality.
Yes, as the years go by, and life piles on, women tend to
want sex less often than men. Sometimes
dwindling to the point where the urge can feel nonexistent. Usually we are told that it a “known fact”
that women’s libido decreases, which has led to the development of medical treatments
and the pink pill. But do we really need
more medicine?
One of this week’s article stated that older women’s wants
were different and that intimacy became more important than a good orgasm. PLEASE. Are they serious? Since when did I have to choose one over the
other? I want a deep soul connection and
an earth rocking orgasm, and that isn’t too much to ask. But when it isn’t happening we begin to
believe that is just how things are.
Several years ago I was listening to Christine Northrup MD,
an expert on women’s health issues and menopause, and she commented that the
best cure for a stalled sex life is a new partner. It stopped me in my tracks. What, as my ears perked up? She then went on to say that the new partner
can be you. It makes perfect sense. If I don’t clearly know what it is that I want,
how can I expect anyone else to fulfill my desire?
I offer yet another angle to this threesome. That the new partner can be the
Universe. A secret, juicy, wild, messy
love affair with all that is……..
Sensuality blooms from within. We ourselves need to feel free, wild, open
and untamed, in order to share that with another. And the Universe is eager to help.
But somehow the old 9-5 job, carpool, emails, meetings and
chores pull many of us away from our primal nature. Our attention is spent on matters of the mind
and doesn’t venture down nearly enough to our pelvic floor where
the Shakti energy resides. Our breath becomes
shallow never reaching the depths below where the spark waits patiently to be
lit.
The Universe is a willing and available partner. Make a standing date to keep the pilot light
burning. It can be entire evenings, lazy
afternoons or stolen moments during the day.
As you sit reading this note, spread the knees away from each other,
and notice where your attentions goes. Take
a bath with lavender and salts by candlelight.
Turn on your most sensual music and move to its rhythm. Get drunk from the smell of roses and warm
from the blaze of the fire. Stand under
the full moon and draw down her power.
Look up to let the stars sparkle in your eyes. Face the sun spread your arms wide and shine
back with all of your heart. Let the beauty
of the sky at sunset bring you to tears.
Get dirty….really dirty.
Wear what makes you feel sexy, or nothing at all. Close your eyes and feel the full body
embrace of the wind. Let the hoot of the
owl touch you at your very center, and the bitter cold make you shiver. Let the night noises lull you to sleep. Lie
down spread eagle on the floor in the middle of the room. Place your hands on your belly and send the
breath down ….down….down. Notice your
pelvic floor often.
Life is to be lived.
Felt. Explored. Swallowed.
Tasted.
Make love to the Universe.
Only you will know……
Mmmmmmmm………………..
