Self-Pleasure for Health and Beauty

That healthy, radiant glow! It’s a sign of youth and beauty. We want it and we’re willing to spend fortunes on skin creams and makeup to get it.

With experience in the fields of health, wellness and beauty, I have the secret to this authentic radiance. It doesn’t cost a thing. And it’s fun! It’s called self-pleasuring.

Yes. Self-pleasuring is an easy practice that supports your vitality and gives you a naturally vibrant appearance. The results are instant.

The star of self-pleasuring is sexual lifeforce energy. This is the potent life-sustaining essence that exists in all living beings. Also called chi or prana, it is what Eastern health and spiritual practitioners use to purify and revitalize their bodies for long, joyful lives.

The source of our lifeforce energy is our sacral chakra, the energy center associated with our reproductive organs, sexuality, and creativity. When we’re young, this chakra overflows with high-watt, juicy energy that drives us to mate and create. It exudes from our young bodies and faces. It enables us to work all day and party all night. But as we grow older, our lifeforce energy begins to wane, and with it goes our libido, glowing health and radiant beauty.

Regular sex can rev it up, but if you don’t have a partner, self-pleasuring is the next best thing. Following are the steps and science of self-pleasuring for health and beauty.

Step One:  Prepare

For a fulfilling session, give yourself a little time to get ready.  

• Set up in your bedroom or other comfy, private place.

• Create a playlist of meditative and / or sexy music that will continue for an hour.

• Have massage or coconut oil readily available.

• Put a sexy toy on standby.

• Wear loose-fitting clothing, or even better, go naked!

• Give yourself a minimum of 15 minutes to an hour. The longer you remain in a state of arousal, the greater the benefit.

Step Two:  Shake those Hips

To begin your session, wake up your energy with hip movement. Play rhythmic music, and thrust your hips forward and backwards, make big circles, and dirty dance. Carress your body and rub your breasts as you move your hips. Be aware of your breath and synchronize it with your pelvic rhythm. Perform this movement for at least three minutes.

The Science:
Pelvic movement helps you to become present in your body. It supports hip flexibility and tone, which is key for a youthful and healthy physique. Your pelvis contains your sacral chakra, the source of your lifeforce energy, and your movement activate this energy. Breasts are also connected to the second chakra, so touching them will additionally stoke the fire.

Step Three:  Touch to Tantalize

After your hips are awakened, lie down, and relax. Notice how your body feels. Your life force may already be buzzing. Begin to lightly caress your body - your face, arms, breasts, thighs, hips and buttocks. Move your hands slow-w-w-w-w-ly and sensually. Feel the shape of your body. Notice the pleasure arising from your strokes.  

After a minute or two, add a little massage or coconut oil. Glide your hands and fingers across your body. Let their slipperiness add to the exhilaration. Tantalize your inner thighs. Then, when you’re ready to turn up the heat, tease your most sensational erogenous zone with caresses. To assist, fantasize about a lover or making love.

The Science:
There’s a lot going on here. Physical touch awakens your pleasure receptors and brings you into the present moment. It reduces cortisol and stress. It also releases oxytocin, the hormone that sparks positive feelings.

For most women, the genital area is the most powerful erogenous zone and directly connected with the sacral chakra. Your pleasure stimulates arousal and charges up your chakra.

Your breath may also become deeper, which infuses your body with oxygen. It reduces stress and lowers blood pressure.  

As far as a fantasy lover goes, studies show that the subconscious mind doesn’t always know the difference between the imagination and reality. An imaginary lover can provide a similar mood enhancement as the real deal.

Step Four:  Rock and “Oooh”

Continue touching your body and begin rocking your hips forward and back, as if you’re making love with a person. For many of us, this hip movement is a natural response to being turned on.  

Begin to say the sound “Oooh,” and synchronize it with your pelvic thrusts. Think about past sessions with a lover. Maybe you said “ooooh” in the throes of passion?  Continue to coordinate your hips and the “oooh” sound for a few minutes.   

The Science:
In the Tantric tradition, “ooh” is a sacred sound that stimulates the sacral chakra. The longer you rock your hips and say “ooooh”, the more lifeforce energy you build. The coordination of the hips and sound also enlivens your breathing, which showers your body with oxygen.

Step Five:  Bring out the Toys

By now, you’re probably feeling pretty zesty. Here’s an optional, but important step. When your body is begging for more and your inner fire is raging, bring your toy into the equation - if you know what I mean. Add more oil, if needed.

The Science:
Penetration is an important heath practice, especially for menopausal and sexually inactive women. It helps to maintain vaginal tone and flexibility. Without the occasional entry, atrophy and shrinkage may result, which contributes to painful sex. If you find insertion uncomfortable, let go of trying and continue with external pleasuring.  

Step Six:  Harness the Energy

Enjoy the pleasure and feel the sexual energy build until you’re close to orgasm. When you’re about to reach the pinnacle of bliss, stop. Inhale deeply, hold your breath and squeeze your pelvic floor muscles. Imagine the lifeforce energy in your pelvic region is flowing through your body. Then exhale and relax your muscles. Repeat the inhale, squeeze, exhale, and release technique two more times. Then, resume self-pleasuring, and repeat the breath technique again.

The Science:
With this technique, you’re harnessing your highly charged energy and infusing your entire body with it. Your organs and glands receive a huge dose of lifeforce, which rejuvenates them for optimal function.  

Step Seven:  Orgasm

After a few breaths, allow yourself to explode! Say glory hallelujah and enter Blissville!
Orgasm is the ultimate pleasure. It’s the reward for your practice.

The Science:
Orgasm brings you fully present into the moment. Nothing else in the world matters. The French call this “La petite mort” or the little death, because the sensation is likened to death. Climaxing stimulates a burst of oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin, which calm you, lift your mood, and increase feelings of being beautiful.

Step Eight:  Post Session Glow

Give yourself a few minutes to lie still and let your mind be free. Allow your body to experience any sensations. Express gratitude for your amazing body and mysterious abilities. Then, collect yourself, get up and go out into the world with a radiant glow, a youthful flush, a good mood, and an attractive, healthy vibration. 

So, forget expensive skin creams. Let self-pleasure be your regular practice for supreme health and beauty.
