Selflove-Libi-dos

"Love for yourself is the root of all love."

Self-love is not selfish – it is the foundation. Without a loving connection to yourself, there is no lasting desire for others. The Selflove-Libi-dos are small rituals that nourish the female energy cycle and give you warmth - from the inside.

Self-hug

⏱ 1-2 minutes · Anytime🌿 All types · especially air-sensitive types
What you do

Place both hands gently on your upper body - one on your heart, one on your stomach, or cross your arms and place your hands on your shoulders. Breathe deeply into your stomach. Feel warmth. Stay like this for 60-120 seconds.

Why it works

The self-hug activates the parasympathetic nervous system through skin contact and releases oxytocin - the bonding hormone. It signals to your system: "You are safe, you are held." This is the prerequisite for any form of pleasure. A body in an alarm state cannot develop libido.

Step by step
  1. 1
    Sit or lie down comfortably with both feet or back supported
  2. 2
    Place one hand on your heart, one on your stomach
  3. 3
    Breathe in deeply three times and exhale slowly - your stomach rises and falls
  4. 4
    Say internally, "I am here. I am safe. I am enough."
  5. 5
    Stay another 30 seconds – no task, no goal
