Relax & heart opener
"Deep relaxation is an invitation to pleasure."
Pleasure arises from a feeling of security. As long as the nervous system is in alarm mode, the libido remains closed. The relax and heart opener Libi-dos are the antidote: they activate the ventral vagus nerve, open the heart and chest and create the inner space that sensuality needs.
Kidney sound and tulsi tea
Sit upright and rub your hands together until they are warm. Place both hands behind your back, at the level of your kidneys (below your ribs). Take a deep inhale and, as you exhale, make a long, soft "TSCHOOO" sound. Repeat 6-9 times. Afterwards: a cup of Tulsi tea.
In the Qigong system, the kidneys are the treasure trove of life energy and Yin - the calm, feminine energy that underlies pleasure. The kidney sound is intended to clarify and strengthen the kidney energy. Tulsi (Holy Basil) is an Ayurvedic adaptogen that regulates cortisol, relaxes the nervous system and supports hormonal balance.
