Great Sex with Mindfulness

Like Yoga, the Buddhist practice of Mindfulness is quickly becoming a new fad for Western people as we attempt to find a solution to our over-busy lifestyles. It is defined as the awareness of the present moment, watching one's own thoughts, feelings, and actions as they occur, and giving attention to them in a non-judgemental manner. Practicing mindfulness can liberate your life and give you a natural joy throughout your day. It can also become an indispensable element of your love life.

There are zillions of novelties, books, and videos you can purchase in hopes of enhancing sex. Although these items can certainly spice things up in the bedroom and change the scene for a while, there is a deeper dimension that is vital for unending sexual intimacy that both partners can enjoy. Before two (sober) people can become completely comfortable detailing their x-rated fantasies and completely humbling theirselves to others, there must be a good level of love and trust involved. Most importantly, each partner must take on a mindful, compassionate attitute toward themselves and the other person involved. After that is mastered, different positions, energies, and even sex toys can come together in a way that will create satisfying sex for both, without frustration, dissapointment or shame.

Love is often something you have to work on. Living in a world of suffering and heartbreak can often leave us cynical and cold in a defensive way that helps us survive. However, there are tools of mindfulness to teach us to once again love fully and unconditionally, which is a truly blessed way to live....and a good bet for great sex.
