How Massage Techniques Can Improve Your Sex Life

Whether you're a man or a woman wanting to spice up your relationship, you don't need to go very far into a complex education on sex techniques and positions. I'm not saying these are bad and you shouldn't use them but, you would be surprised of the amazing benefits massage techniques can have on your sex life.

Let's look at the first component most people don't get much in our society. People in relationships that are unfulfilling don't realize that touch is a major factor keeping an exciting caring and relationship strong. Touch is a need for human beings, and is not just something that people want. It is a deep innate human desire, and if you not practicing it regularly in your relationship, lets just say that's not a good sign.

The perfect way to achieve this is to use massage techniques regularly and can range from foot rub while you're watching TV, to a full body massage or 10 minute shoulder rubbed before dinner. Just making a point of incorporating more touch into your relationship consistently can improve communication, trust, and of course, intimacy.

There are several ways massage techniques can do these things. First as I just mentioned it fulfills a deep human second helps you bond your partner sometimes the best communication is through touch with out words. Another major benefit from massage techniques is of course stress reduction. Stress is one of the major reasons for problems with intimacy. When a person is stressed for long periods of time it becomes an unconscious practice, and it's hard to realize that you're living in survival mode. During this time all other functions of your body are shut down to a certain extent, including libido. So stress relief should be a major priority for you and your partner and using the proper massage techniques are powerful way to do that.

So as you can see just by using simple massage techniques regularly for a short period of time you can accomplish all this is as well as greatly improve you and your partners overall health. It seems very simple in its but it won't work unless you do it consistently. After you incorporate massage techniques properly and you set the stage and have the basics covered and will be ready for other techniques for a fulfilling sex life.

Yoga Breath - 5 Breathing Techniques That Can Be Used With Your Practice

Proper breathing while doing asanas (postures) is of paramount importance. There are many different breathing techniques that can affect your pose in many different ways. Most styles of yoga use various breathing practices to bring about a desired effect. Following is a short discussion of five of the main breathing technique that are used with asana practice.

Diaphragmatic Breathing

Diaphragmatic breathing is one of the most important breathing techniques. This is breathing in the belly and not in the chest. I sometimes call it "belly breathing." One of the most important things about diaphragmatic breathing is how it stimulates the part of the central nervous system that causes the body to relax.

Many asana techniques involve relaxing. Even when activating a pose it is important to relax the parts of the body that are not active as well as the muscle or muscle group being stretched. Doing diaphragmatic breathing while working a pose stimulates the part of the nervous system that causes relaxation.

Three Part Breathing/Deep Breathing

Three-part breath is filling the lungs from the bottom up. This breathing technique starts with a diaphragmatic breath that then moves up to fill the lower chests/diaphragm area, finally filling the upper chest. Since this breath moves up into the chest, it stimulates the part of the nervous system that causes the body to go into the fight flight response.

This isn't necessarily as bad as it may sound. The nervous system goes into this state simply by walking or even standing upright. That is why it is important to sit while eating so that the nervous system can go into a digestive or relaxation mode. Deep breathing can be an important part of an asana practice that involves strenuous activity such as while doing Sun Salutation.

Breath of Fire

Breath of fire is done with quick and forceful contractions of the abdominal muscles to push the air out of the lungs. How fast the breathing is done depends on ability and your current condition. You can get faster with practice.

Start with a deep breath and a relaxed exhale to relax the diaphragm muscle, so your chest and lungs are relaxed. Once no air is moving in or out, a series of contractions are done with the belly muscles as though someone were pushing or punching you in the belly and thereby pushing the air out. After 20-50 or more of these contractions a deep inhale is taken, usually through the left nostril, with the breathe being held for as long as is comfortable. The exhale is a relaxed letting go with the air released through mouth, nose or both.

This technique brings in a lot of hot energy very quickly. This can allow for a lot of purification and cleansing of the energy channels. Even more and deeper purification can happen when it is coupled with asana practice.

Holding the Breath In

Holding a full breath allows the prana or life energy in the breath to be absorbed. Holding the breath in while in a pose has this same benefit added to the energy of the pose.

In general, a hold can be used with most poses. It is particularly powerful to hold the breath in poses that activate the upper chakras (energy centers). That is, from the diaphragm to the crown. There are asanas that should not be done with a hold of the breath. For example, shoulder stand because of the extreme compression on the throat, and head stand because of the energy shift.

Holding the Breathe Out

With this technique the breath is held after exhaling completely. It is little taught because not many people understand it. This is one of the strongest ways to purify the energy channels when done correctly with appropriate asanas. It should only be done with asanas that activate the first, second or third chakra.

This technique drives the upward flowing energy down, and the downward flowing energy up. These two energies meeting is one of the deepest states of yoga that happens in deep meditation. When done in conjunction with appropriate asanas, the purification can be felt immediately. A sensation that often happens is of feeling lightheaded, and like you are waking up and opening your eyes.

Cautions For Holding The Exhale Technique

Holding the exhale should never be done by pregnant women. Too much of this technique can leave you in a condition where it would be dangerous to drive. The purification can be so deep that you might be spaced out for an hour or more.

If done at night, this technique can cause sleeplessness.
