In a world where we taught that great sex is something that only happens for 20 year olds in college, sex can take a back burner until one day we watch a movie or see a couple making out and remember- DAMN- I used to do that, too! While boosting your libido is linked to being relaxed and being turned into your pleasure blueprint, there are times when we need a little kickstart to get excited again.
While Ayurvedic herbs for libido, like we use in our Lust formula, are an excellent way to increase natural libido naturally, sometimes we need to go back to the basics for connection. India is more than the birthplace of Ayurvedic medicines for libido, it is where tatnric practices sprang to life, and blending along with supplements like Lust is an excellent way to supercharge your intimate life.
Here are 3 practices to help you deepen intimacy and connection and tap into your sensual energy.
Eye Gazing:
The eyes are often referred to as the windows to the soul, and sustained eye contact is a potent means of connecting with another person on a deep, soulful level. Eye gazing, or "soul gazing," involves maintaining prolonged eye contact with a partner without speaking.
How to do it.- Sit across from each in a comfortable seated position, and put on some nice relaxing music (optional but really helpful). It is recommended to gaze into the left eye of the other person. Don’t worry if things get psychedelic or start to look weird, this is common, and don’t worry if you feel uncomfortable at first. Instead of focusing on your discomfort, focus on the incredible history that this being in front of you carries, and let yourself be astounded by them. Best practice- set a timer for 2-3 minutes so you can relax into the process.
Sensual touch on the arms and hands only
So often tantric massage is touted as being the way to deep intimacy- and I believe that any touch done with deep intention and reverence is a beautiful practice. You can create so much intimacy by creating boundaries of touch, like for example, on the hands and arms. You don’t need to jump into touching genitals or any body part that is considered traditionally erotic. Instead, see how much awareness and intention you can bring to touching the arms and hands. You can even use props like feathers or whatever you enjoy to make the sensation more pleasurable!
Sharing your desires- This is something that can feel vulnerable and scary, but is sooo powerful for connecting you to the person in front of you. Whether your desire is to cuddle or to get super kinky, the best way you can have a desire met is by voicing it. That can be a little scary because you might be scared of getting rejected- but truthfully, when someone else says no, it’s not a no to you, as a person, it’s a no to a particular experience. Just the act of sharing vulnerably with another person can create deep connection, and is often the best libido enhancer out there!
In short, creating powerful connections and increasing your libido naturally go hand in hand with Ayurvedic herbs to increase libido. As always, I recommend a holistic approach to sex and intimacy instead of just trying to take a pill for a quick fix.
