Masturbation Month and Tarot
Breath
Greetings everyone,
We’re about half way through masturbation month. Enjoy the celebration!
Various body awareness exercises can be extremely valuable for oh so many reasons, sexually and otherwise. One way to wake up more of your sexual energy is to practice breath work.
Because I don’t have the daily practice I once had for deep breathing, I keep it uncomplicated these days. If you’re not doing Yoga Nidra or similar practices, simple is best.
For example:
Laying down, put one hand on your genitals and the other either on the center of your chest, or even better, at the base of your throat. As you breathe in, imagine energy moving from between your legs up to your heart or throat. As you exhale, imagine the energy moving downward, back to your genitals as you moan or sigh out. Do this several times.
Once you are accustomed to this process, after a few days, you can refine it by finding the sweet spots that works best for you. As you begin to breathe in and up, start your focus at your perineum, scrotum, clit, uterus or any spot that energetically lights up the base of your body when you put your attention there. Use your imagination to see this area as red and orange light.
Second, as you breathe up to the top, imagine either your heart area as an emerald green glow or your throat area as a soft and soothing blue glow.
Breathe back and forth between the red/orange and the green or blue several times. 3 to 10 minutes is a good time range as you are learning this.
It’s a great deal of fun to add sensual body movements to this exercise after several days of just breathing. I like to rock my hips, arch my back as I gradually speed up my breathing. It can be extremely arousing. With practice it can bring energy orgasms, which may be a new sensation for you.
I also like to add a dildo to this process and brace it between my legs with a pillow or sex wedge so I don’t have to use my hand to control it. Nipple clamps, male masturbators and butt plugs are also a plus here.
Save vibrators and things that require charging or batteries for another time, as the intensity can be distracting for this gentle, yet powerful practice.
Be with the subtle sensations and relax into the moment once you feel ready to end the breath work.
Self pleasure is so valuable for many reasons. Not everyone likes to be stimulated the same ways, so it’s good to explore on your own as your body changes with time. It’s easier to please not only yourself, but show others how you like to be touched, restrained, massaged and more.
When I’ve watched educational videos, porn and other demonstrations of a woman getting her genitals stroked, occasionally it looks like a huge ouch to me.
For instance, that touch that seems to be so popular - deep stroking from the front edge of the vagina up to the clit. Back and forth, fast or slow. Ugh. It would be more comfortable for me to run through the local police station screaming “I finally escaped prison”. Humm, yeah, explain that…
Not fun.
I have to make sure that I have delightfully stimulating preferences for myself and anyone invited to touch me. You may appreciate that body wisdom as well. With that knowing about yourself, be sure to listen to and watch the preferences of any lovers in your life as well.
And now for tarot
Lust card:
The elixir of life itself is what hypnotizes her into the throws of ecstasy. She leans back and breathes in the sweet nectar of her creative desires.
When this card appears in a present, future or “what energies are assisting you” sort of tarot placement, it might be good to ask if you are hesitant to express your animalistic urges and curiosities.
This card can often line up for a great time with taboo busting adventures - erotic as well as other spicy experiences. As long as you are willing to explore new territory, you may find exquisite new sensations along the way. Let your muse take your hand into the unknown.
For instance if the topic of your card reading is about how to expand your erotic experiences, are you willing to write down your never before mentioned fantasies?
Would you consider taking a trip or an online visit to a sex toy store and picking out items for self pleasure?
My list of favorites - brands like NJOY for metal items, Icicles for glass items and Chakrubs for stone and wooden items are some of the best quality and variety around. Mentioned earlier in this article is a sex wedge. What is it? Check liberator.com for sexual position props.
I was going to make a list of kinky things, voyeuristic possibilities, porn suggestions and other items. But the list is infinite, and who knows if I’ll find your wicked wants along the way. Instead, I’ve decided to ask- what secretly turns you on and do you dare to journal about it? Are you able to talk about it to anyone? I’m going to leave this ball in your court for now.
And… if you happen to have balls, play with them while you think about all of this… Massaging the mons and outer labia works just as well while you dream up the words needed for digging up and mapping out your treasure chest of hidden pleasures and surprises.
Be sure to become a paid subscriber. When you do, each month that you are subscribed, you’ll receive a one page email erotic tarot reading around the subject of your choice.
Thank you for joining me today. May your movement towards new pleasures become a regular part of your self awareness practice.
I consulted a follower while writing this article named Denis Picard. I’m sharing his recent works, so watch for his writings on Jack Johnston’s Key Sound Protocol along with a bit on Japanese tantric art called Jin Shin Jyutsu. This is something he found “expanded my energetic sensitivity and subsequent multi-orgasmic experience”. This is a wonderful exploration for men. A great read for Masturbation (or any) Month.
