The word “healing” pops up a lot these days in connection with everything from physical health, emotional health, psychic health, to sexual health. This liberal use suggests a general trend towards promoting healthy whole-body systems that then serve us better as human beings. It’s a mind, body, and spirit lifestyle approach.
The ancient Hindus promoted just this kind of theory toward living through various means, the most widely recognizable being the Kama Sutra, the Artha Sutra, and the Dharma Sutra. The Artha Sutra dealt with acquiring a comfortable means of income and survival while the Dharma Sutra presented the scriptures for moral values. The Kama Sutra prescribed sexual techniques and the means by which a person created an optimum degree of sensual and sexual pleasure in their life. These three scriptures were THE guides to a fully functioning life.
Western societies don’t consider the importance of a happy, active sexual life as a healthy pursuit for a morally up-standing person. This is far from the truth. Scientists have proven that love, care, and sex can lead to a longer life for both sexes.
The problem is that one must consciously create the time to have sensual sex! That can seem like an oxymoron to many people. It’s supposed to be spontaneous but if you leave it to that you’ll be disappointed in the frequency of sex in your life.
It’s actually simple. Spending more time touching, kissing, sending love letters, bathing together, going away for a weekend were you stay in bed the whole time, and even putting it in your weekly planner can help you to have more sex.
Make a commitment to introduce more adventurous activities into your lovemaking. This doesn’t have to be scary adventure, just something easy like reading erotic literature to each other or trying new positions once and a while.
One thing that stops people from trying new positions is that they forgot to bring a sense of fun to the bedroom. You don’t have to get it right you just have to laugh and have fun at it. Performance isn’t the issue, exploring is. In this way you are healing more than just your body, you are healing your spirit, too.
Good quality sexual activity helps us heal our sense of separateness from one another. It helps create balanced immune systems and adds to the “spice of life”. We feel appreciated and cared for more when we share erotic time.
Kissing, being close to each other physically, and shared breathing passes the essential pheromones our skin and breath gives off back and forth to each other. This creates heightened attraction in both sexes. A spiral of attraction grows between two people when they are near each other more.
Make a conscious effort to spend creative, sexual time together for general wellbeing and healing. Be silly, sensual, heartfelt, open and vulnerable, and learn new techniques to keep you growing and expanding. These are just the things to keep you young at heart and healthy at heart.
