meditation for more passion and pleasure

by Susan 

Do you feel so stressed out that you can’t stop the habitual thoughts running through your mind?

Is this stress decreasing your passion and desire and affecting your relationship with your partner?

Are you experiencing low libido?

Is your body starting to feel tired and just plain worn out?

Is your lust for life waning?

I’m one of those people that has problems stopping those habitual thoughts that zap me of my mojo. I have quite the itty bitty shitty committee inside my head and they are all speaking loudly trying to get my attention. Fear sits at the head of the table with anxiety right next to it.

It wasn’t until I tried meditation that I was able to exert influence over my thoughts. Meditation was my thought ninja showing up when I needed to fight that darn committee.

There are mornings when I find meditating and quieting my mind very illusive. I focus on the breath, in and out, yet those darn chatter boxes in my brain keep buzzing. Stop it I say, can’t you see I’m in mindful meditation. Oh no, they will have none of that, instead insisting on pulling me away from the moment and into the deep dark abyss of NONSENSE.

If you think I’m being dramatic try sitting every morning before breakfast and practicing meditation for 20 minutes. I say practice because that’s exactly what it is.   It demands that I sit every day; same time, same space, and simply be aware and mindful of the moment.

Stress makes my internal light flicker and things seem to be blurry. I liken it to when you’re driving and suddenly it starts to rain hard. In that split second before you can turn on the windshield wipers everything is a blur, you can’t see a thing, but you know the road is out there. When you finally put the wipers on you can clearly see the road in front of you, it never left, it was always there. Well that’s what meditation does for me; it lets me see the road in front of me.

When you feel stressed out your body is tense and shooting out hormones to get you back into balance. The problem is you are continually stressed and the body cannot sufficiently keep up with all the chemical changes that are occurring.

You start to feel fuzzy and fatigued. Depression and anxiety may occur even though you were once a happy and joyful person.

Stress is a major reason for women’s low desire for sexual intimacy and one that is not taken all that seriously. It’s hard to get body centered and slip into your sensual self when you feel like you are unplugged; your power source unavailable to you. Sensuality requires you to be focused on your senses, which is impossible if you are focused on your thoughts.

Have you ever eaten a meal and been totally engrossed in a conversation that you didn’t even remember eating it. That’s what I’m talking about.

Meditation is a tool that anyone can do to start to reverse this stress cycle and increase your life force energy.

Life is meant to live with joy, peace and happiness. Stress obliterates all of that including your ability for pleasure.
