Orgasmic Yoga Practice - 3 Ways to approach Mindful Masturbation!
Mindful masturbation and Orgasmic Yoga can be fun, and surprisingly profound! This may be completely different from your usual masturbation sessions, because you need to let go of the orgasm agenda. Orgasmic Yoga is also a deeply embodied practice, where you explore whole body pleasure sensations, instead of rushing toward a goal. I describe this specific practice for women/vagina owners.
What’s the difference between Mindful Masturbation and Orgasmic Yoga Practice?
While Mindful Masturbation usually includes genital touch and arousal, Orgasmic Yoga is much more encompassing, and works with breath, movement and pleasure. The good news – Orgasmic Yoga Practice does not have arousal as a prerequisite, or even as a goal, but it can of course be involved. Secondly, you don’t even need to take your clothes off, or engage in direct genital touch, unless you would like to. What I describe in this blogpost is Orgasmic Yoga Practice which may (or may not) lead to Mindful Masturbation.
Creative Break in the Afternoon
Working from home? Regardless of whether the day has gone splendidly or mediocre so far, here is a great way to engage with your body, in a mindful and pleasurable way, and to tap into your energy sources. You don’t even need to take your clothes off, unless you prefer to, for Mindful Masturbation! This Orgasmic Yoga Practice can be immensely refreshing, more so than a cuppa and a sweet treat. It’s an embodiment practice, and a delicious way to mindfully sense your body, possibly involving your genitals, but not necessarily. Arousal is not required, and we are not aiming for orgasm. Use this practice to clear your head, let of the day-to-day, reconnect to your Self and Pleasure, and re-energise.
Pathways to Arousal involving different parts of your body – Orgasmic Yoga Practice
Orgasmic Yoga Practice does not necessarily involve genital touch, but can – either indirectly or directly – lead to genital pleasure. Explore three different non- and near-genital engagement ways leading to pleasure. Among the non-genital pathways, you can experiment with your hands caressing each other, and then slowly following with whole body self-touch, leisurely. You can also start to explore your breasts, stroking from the outside in, first on one breast, then the other, making a figure of 8 around your breasts, or stroking upwards from your abdomen. What you want to do with all of these is including deep breathing, as if you wanted to breathe in the sensations. This will lead you into movement, but there is also a more structured way to get moving. Here is how to get your pelvis rolling:
Moving into Whole-Body, Orgasmic, Pleasure
Are you sitting down? Even in a sitting position, we can mindfully and pleasurably engage our pelvis. We can shift from sit-bone to sit-bone (from side to side) or roll from front to back, from pubic bone to tailbone. The third option is pushing one leg forward, and then the other leg. Lying down on your back, you want to plant your feet, legs parallel and hip width apart, knees up. Gently push with your feet to get your pelvis rolling, in a pleasurable way.
How can Orgasmic Yoga Practice be good for my work?!
Tapping into orgasmic pleasure (even in low arousal states) is a great way to momentarily step away from your usual awake and focussed beta brainwave state, into a deeply nourishing, more trance-like and connected state, and often creative ideas or solutions will come to us once we step into it. Here is where I can put my Public Health hat on, if you want to improve both wellbeing at work (if you are working from home), and cultivate a holistic approach to effectivity.
I’m about to put all of this (and more) into a short video course, which you can sign up for now, and receive for free, between August 19th and August 31st 2022 (sign-up deadline). Here is more info, and how to do that.
