The mainstream media is constantly bombarding us with tips for better sex, usually focusing on the physical body or the emotions. They have yet to catch on to the notion that sex can also unfold as an energetic or Spiritual experience.

For me, working with ‘chakra affirmations’ has become a great way to create deeper, more profound sexual connections and experiences.

Chakras are energy centers located throughout the body, and each is associated with a set of organs and an aspect of our being. Using these seven chakra affirmations can open the flow of energy throughout the body and enhance sexual experiences by building trust, acceptance, appreciation, unconditional love, positive expression, harmony and connection.

7 Powerful Chakra Balancing Affirmations For Better Sex

1 The Root Chakra Affirmation – “I trust that I am safe with my partner.”

Don’t have time to meditate all day? Don’t feel like you’re at that point yet? It’s hard, I get it. When you are still in the hussle bussle of today’s fast times, just the thought of shifting your entire life to choose a spiritual path can seem daunting. Especially if you’ve never done it before. So instead, to get you excited and to give you a little taste of what is possible. There are a few tricks you can use to give yourself a kick start into the world of expanded awareness, and evolved consciousness. They are really easy super fun and will literally BLOW YOUR MIND!. So why not? You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

There is a big free-floating feeling in the air these days. The more our consciousness becomes centred in our hearts as opposed to our minds, the more an 'unplugging' of sorts takes place. It is an unplugging of our former paradigm, including an unplugging of old beliefs that held our reality and identity together. More and more our awareness and focus is being brought into NOW, and so you may be finding it really difficult, detached even, to think about the past or future in the same way you used to. Recalling memories might feel strange, and planning for the future might feel like you are grasping at clouds that keep changing every moment.

This consciousness shift - from the mind to the heart - is a naturally occurring process at this point in our evolution. It is a process we can either go along with without even realising, actively participate in and open to, resist, fear, avoid or actively push against.

People have come up with some interesting, yet creative ways of recycling their old furniture into some of the most beautiful garden decorations. Using old pianos, broken pots, and anything else really. All it takes is a little hard work and dedication, but it’s definitely possible to create your own enchanted garden.

One of the amazing things about using these old furnishings as decorations is that the sky is the limit. There is no end to the possibilities of what you could create with the rusting bathtub you have lying around. Or even an old, but stunning bed frame with flowers adorned all over the fixtures. Instead of having silk and lace, you could have vines as drapes with a menagerie of flowers spread out all over the vines! Who knew this would be a good way to recycle?

“For all things produced in a garden whether of salads or fruits, a poor man will eat better that has one of his own, than a rich man that has none.” – John Claudius Lourdes, Scottish Botanist 1783-1843

While early spring is often too cold to start many plants in the ground, it is a perfect time to get outside and enjoy the warming weather by starting a container herb garden. There is nothing quite like working with the sun on your shoulders and your hands in the dirt as you tend plants until they yield a harvest.

The act of working with the earth, under the blue sky and helping something grow is very therapeutic. A study in the Neuroscience Journal from 2007 found that exposure to the bacteria found in dirt boosts Serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is the neurotransmitter that affects sleep cycles, moods and memory. Low levels of serotonin are linked to aggression, anxiety and depression. Many gardeners already know that running their naked finger through the soil not only makes their spirits soar but grounds them in the shifting of the seasons.
