FLOWER ESSENCES FOR THE KNEES
Quite often I get clients with sexual problems. Reichian Therapy, Biodynamic Massage and Flower and Gem Essences can indeed help to deal with sexual issues.
A lot of the exercises which I have been describing in the last chapters are already very helpful. I especially want to recommend people to read again the chapters about the sacrum, voicework and breathing.
Selfmassage is a good way to sensitize the body and become more aware of your feelings. Before I start going through the list of various sexual problems I want to write about sex more in general.
In the sixties a lot of noise was made about achieving orgasms as if they were the main reasons for having sex. Nowadays people are more careful and take into account that "the way to reach a goal" should be at least as important as the goal itself. People are more encouraged to enjoy the foreplay. Usually we find mostly men rushing through the foreplay either full of impatience and "sexdrive" to have an orgasm or wanting to get it "all over and done with" as soon as possible.
A lot of British people are very shy about sex. Mixed saunas are still rare and you find the few women who go there wearing bathing costumes. Massage has still got a bad reputation in many people's views and that bad reputation keeps them away from it.
Lovers from foreign countries are supposed to be much better than british men. Quite often women from the continent are amazed how little attention they get in this country from men. The island position of Great Britain seems to explain why the English seem to need so much space around them and find it more difficult to get close on a bodily, mental and emotional level than the people on the continent.
Children being sent to boarding schools away from home from five years onwards only makes things worse.
The lover and the friend or housewife and mother often have to be two different people. They often cannot be one and the same person. Maybe the idea of sex having to be something "bad" or at least "secret" or "forbidden" is one reason for this british phenemonen.
Sexual problems with couples:
One difficulty that often arises is the lack of interest in sex in one partner. The more people can feel their bodies in a pleasurable way the more they can usually enjoy sex. Self love is the basis for a healthy sex life. Other important factors are usually too much hard work (especially computer and office work tend to keep the energy stuck in people's brains), not enough joyful movement and play, too much television and overeating just to name a few.
Early potty training, sexual abuse and traumas, physical ailments can all contribute to lack of sexual interest in a relationship.
Biodynamic massage for both partners can often renew the sensitivity in the body by releasing blocked sexual energy - especially in legs, knees and around sacrum and pelvis. Practising deep breathing can loosen blocked energy and free repressed feelings and memories,
Counselling is then very helpful for expressing feelings and talking about taboos.
Gem and Flower essences when mixed and prescribed individually can help a great deal to improve sexual communication between partners.
