14 Self-Care Rituals To Nourish Your Sensuality

If you’re struggling to find time in solitude and stillness for yourself or desire to do more self-care- because, let’s face it, life can get real hectic sometimes- you’re not alone! You’re drained, overstretched, and life is too busy.

And then you need to squeeze in time for dating and sex too? Ha! In your dreams!

So what if I told you today’s post would guide you into deep bliss of sweetness that will boost your libido and desire to be intimate with your honey? What if I also told you that self-care could be deeply sensual and yummy too?

Ladies! To make this accessible and easy for you, we’ve created a 14 day-challenge to dive deeper into your sensuality. We hope you find value in this just as we did.

Day 1

Luscious Vulva

Look at and feel your yoni and see precisely what your beautiful flower looks like. Find your outer lips, inner lips, and vaginal opening. Touch it with tenderness. Study the colours, shapes, and textures of your unique flower. Take time to appreciate your yoni’s unique beauty and her amazing potential.

Day 2

Treat your yoni well.

Make your yoni a chemical-free zone. No soap or feminine hygiene around the mucus membrane or inside the vagina. Soap and all forms of hygiene products are harsh for your yoni. Treat it with love, care, and lots of tenderness.

Day 3

Blossoming Yoni

Place your fingers firmly on either side of your vaginal opening and press down, feeling through the skin and fatty tissue to the muscles and the bulbs beneath them. Explore the different ways you can rub, squeeze, and stimulate them, discovering what inspires them to enlarge. Take a look in the mirror and notice how the whole shape of your vulva is altered. Enjoy!

Day 4

Be Here. Now.

Right now, our world is moving faster than it has ever before. We are navigating new technological spaces and connecting virtually more than ever; in between these spaces, we often plan one thing to the next without really being present in anything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When your body and mind are at ease when you are not planning for the future or thinking about the past, that is what is truly special; those are the moments we feel- in our body, with our mind, a pure connection.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Day 5

It’s okay to want to be alone.

It’s okay to say no to a gathering you do not feel like spending your time. It’s okay to need some space and take time to yourself, give yourself the gift of giving, and schedule it even if you have to. Permit yourself to take care of your soul.

Day 6⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Listen to your body

Communicate with your body to align with your needs and desires. Create a conversation with yourself and ask your body, the most intimate parts, what they have to say. Allow the parts of you that often go unnoticed a space to be heard.

Dedicated time for stillness in your body and mind. You’ll discover new ways of touch or old ones continuously hitting the spot. After all, this is the time to awaken and be in your most divine feminine truth and sensual power. ⠀

Day 7

Take the time to learn about your body.

We do self-pleasure in secret by staying quiet, performing quickly, and taking as little space as possible. We rarely give ourselves the time to notice the small things about how we like to receive pleasure and want intimacy when we are not with a partner.

Connect with your desires. Set aside some alone time. Take a relaxing bath. If lighting up candles, playing relaxing music, and putting on sexy lingerie gets you in the mood, then do it. Make sure to turn off your phone, lock your door, and be present with yourself.

Day 8

Breathe

Focusing on your breathing helps build a deeper connection with your body and calms down the nervous system. It brings your awareness back to the present and helps you escape distracting thoughts. Just concentrate on deep inhaling and exhaling, and your body will take care of the rest.

Day 9

Nourish 🌹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sharing with you this delicious recipe for Golden Rose Latte, my favourite thing to be sipping with a dose of adaptogen love and soothing colours as we transition to fall. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Brew in Milk:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

2 cups Organic Regular, Oat, Coconut or Almond⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1/2 tsp turmeric, ground⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1/2 tsp cinnamon⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1/2 tsp ginger powder or fresh grated⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

pinch black pepper⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1/4 tsp cardamom powder⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1/2 tsp rosewater (add at the end) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

few strands saffron⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

pinch of rose petals to garnish⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

honey or maple syrup according to taste⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Day 10

Move those hips 🤸🧡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Pelvic rigidity is a common condition affecting the free flow of energy in the spinal cord and throughout the body. The rigidity cuts off a direct flow of energy into the pelvis and creates stagnation and a lack of fluidity, emotion, and pleasure.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This rigidity is commonly due to gender conditioning- boys are taught to control the sway of their hips as it’s too feminine, and women are condemned to swing their as it suggests being provocative and naughty.⠀

No wonder there is such a massive gap in our connection to intimacy. It will feel weird at first if you are not used to it, but get a hula hoop, dance in your bedroom, practice making circles with your hips, and open the portal to what is your greatest power and pleasure source you have!

Day 11

Inhale ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Take a breath in through your yoni, and let it travel up your spine to your navel, all the way to your heart.

Expand the ribs, drawing the breath up the throat. Exhale. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Release the breath out through the mouth. Let the breath flow like sweet, fresh waterfall water.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Repeat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Until.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Bliss.

Day 12

Let’s talk self-care!!

Most women usually have some form of routine or nurturing, although it could always be more intentional, and we often forget key body parts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Do you massage your breasts? Do you care for your breasts the way you rub your legs or spend time rubbing the suds out of your hair? Our breasts, located right around our hearts, serve as beautiful reminders of our femininity, and they love to be cared for. How do they like to be touched, held, and cupped?

Rubbing in a circular motion towards your heart increases circulation, awakens the heart chakra, and softens your nervous system allowing for more pleasure and presence. ⠀⠀

Day 13

Sacred space.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It‘s essential to have a clean, inspiring, beautiful and inviting space to call yours, whether in your bedroom, a meditation corner, or a room where you can work out, pray or nap in the sunshine.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is key to also having the pleasure time that you want. Just like our mind when it’s full of things we can not center, we can not find the clarity to ground and sink into deliciousness.

Day 14

What is Pleasure Mapping? How will it transform your sex life?

Pleasure mapping is a practice, like yoga or meditation, to better explore your body on a deeper level and expand your ability to receive more pleasure.

It’s the practice of getting to know your body and how it responds to various touches, sensations, and potential emotional stories held in those areas. In pleasure mapping, we’re just noticing everything.

Where do we feel resistance? What do we enjoy the most? How can we change up our routine to experience more pleasure? It’s an incredible way to practise slowing down and savouring the journey.

Your friend cannot miss this. Share it with your BFF right now <3
