A wave of pleasure unlike any other, capable of making your toes curl? Yes, we can only be talking about the big O. Some studies suggest that a surprising number of women have difficulty achieving orgasm. However, the truth is that our bodies are designed for pleasure and, as women, we can reach climax in a thousand and one different ways.
We all deserve to feel good, happy and healthy. And that’s where sexual health also comes in. That's why we're seeing a growing trend of practices and therapies that try to help us, such as orgasmic meditation.
What does orgasmic meditation consist of?
Orgasmic meditation (or «OM») became known in 2004 by the co-founder of the American company OneTaste , Nicole Daedone, as a well-being practice that combines mindfulness, touch and pleasure, eliminating the hurried focus of « come to an end” during sexual intercourse.
This practice focuses on female pleasure, but on a deeper level, and with the alleged benefits in mind, it is aimed at anyone looking for a deeper experience with their bodies.
Its intention is not to replace foreplay or bring participants to orgasm (although the practice has orgasm in its name), but rather to bring attention to the present moment and make pleasure be experienced. Worries about what might come next are completely abolished. In orgasmic meditation, what matters is only the present.
How it works?
While traditional meditation was, in the past, linked to spiritual issues, aiming to make us question our reality, nowadays it is seen as a methodology for reducing anxiety and a therapy focused on mindfulness. And since all forms of meditation are a method of connecting with our true selves, orgasmic meditation presents exactly the same premise.
One of the concepts of this practice involves a clitoral caress made by the other person for 15 minutes. However, orgasmic meditation is not just for women who want to orgasm. During this session, the focus is on removing any other distractions and prioritizing the pleasure process itself. The main goal is to enjoy the journey instead of focusing all your attention on the time it will take to reach orgasm, through words or the right pornography.
Health benefits
Taking time to focus on your own pleasure can bring you a meditative quality that will allow you to establish a stronger sexual well-being connection with yourself. Furthermore, combining mindfulness with prolonging pleasure means the combination of two great allies to make us feel better.
Taking into account that human beings are anxious and want to achieve all their goals quickly, the idea of dedicating 15 minutes a day to caressing your clitoral area could be a new self-care technique to adopt.
According to data presented in the American publication Healthline , people who have acquired this habit in their lives claim to be happier, with less stress and in healthier relationships.
Furthermore, it is important to remember all the health benefits associated with a regular meditation practice. Meditating opens our ability to communicate and relax, increasing circulation and blood flow, relieving muscle pain, improving sleep quality and increasing libido. A world of benefits just a conscious break away.
