Stimulating Your Senses – How to Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Body

Reconnecting with Your True Self

1. Meditate. Meditation helps us to wash away the negativity that invades our minds, and to simply feel once again. The trick here is to think less and feel more, and meditation will help you to succeed with just that. It can be as simple as shutting off the distractions, turning on some soothing music, closing your eyes and clearing your mind for 20 to 30 minutes a day. Focus on your breathing, feel the sensations inside your body, and quiet your mind.
2. Take the emphasis off of your mind. If you find yourself constantly weighed down by stressful thoughts, don't fight them. Instead, focus on your body instead. If you battle your thoughts, you'll only work your mind even harder. Just try little things to get in touch with your physical side. Gently run your fingers over your lips, close your eyes and push your palms into your eyelids (you'll be amazed by how great an eyelid massage feels), use two fingers to press lightly against the part of your wrist that lines up with your pinky finger (it will send shivers throughout your body). In other words, focus on the feelings, and the thoughts will wither way.
3. Have sex. Believe me, it can be a healing experience. Sex is a fully physical endeavor, which requires you to focus intently on the physical aspects of your being. If you struggle with libido, or if you can't seem to achieve orgasm during intercourse, there are herbs that can help. Sex can truly take you to a higher level, when shared with somebody special.
4. Do something nice for someone else. Selfless acts can rejuvenate your spirit. Your own problems become less important as you're swept away by the beauty of making someone else's day brighter.
