The Pleasurable Magic of Music!

*Your favourite music* = a shortcut to a powerful pleasure tidal wave!⁣

⁣

You probably kinda knew this already, but science has now revealed what actually happens to our brains when we hear our jam! You know what it’s like. It doesn’t matter if you’re...

⁣

• In the car⁣

• At a concert⁣

• In the kitchen⁣

• At church

• In the club

• Or even in bed⁣...

⁣

You hear the opening chords of your favourite song and you’re suddenly flooded with emotion and memories, and there’s an electrifying tingle running through your body – it’s impossible to ignore… you are captivated! Arghh I love it!⁣

⁣

If you’re nodding along with me, you’re in the (approx.) 50% of people who experience *pleasurable chills* when listening to your favourite music. (Lucky us!!).⁣

⁣

French neuroscientists used a high-density EEG to map brain activity while people listened to their favourite music and their findings were published in a recent study.⁣

⁣

They discovered that specific brain areas work together to process music, triggering the reward system and increasing dopamine release. Now that sounds like an orchestrated symphony of delight that I can get behind!⁣

⁣

Just imagine adding this powerful layer of pleasure to your bedroom activities!! Yes, please!! I am totally against technology in the bedroom, but a bluetooth speaker is the exception to that rule. Why not create a playlist of your favourite songs to help you get in the mood for loving? Then you can ride that pleasure tidal wave while you get it on!

So, the next time you find yourself enraptured by an awesome tune while you stir dinner, remember that 50% of people might think you’re totally crazy - but the other 50% are right there with you!

I’d love to hear which songs get you going. Let me know in the comments.

How To Stop Playing Small

Did you know that by the age of 35 around 95% of your thoughts 🧠 are just a loop that is repeated on autopilot?⁣

⁣

Unless you are consciously open to receiving new information without judgement, your brain will filter everything you see/experience/read/hear through what you *already know to be true.*⁣

Want to peek into your thought loops? Ask yourself these questions...

⁣

👉 What outdated/inaccurate stories have you been telling yourself for years?⁣

👉 How do you think that impacts the way you see yourself as a sexual being? ⁣

👉 How do you think that impacts the way you respond to your lover?⁣

⁣

Here’s a reframe for you: You can *give yourself permission* to wipe your slate clean of those old thoughts so that you can live a new reality - one that will feel infinitely better for you. Here’s an exercise to get you started:⁣

⁣

🖊️ Begin by journaling on the 3 questions above. Allow yourself to write without editing and see what comes up for you. ⁣

⁣

😢 Feel any feelings that arise as you write. Allow emotions to bubble up and be released.⁣

⁣

💖 Breathe into your heart and affirm that you are ready to see a new reality. One that isn’t limited to what you have believed for all these years.⁣

⁣

💫 Next time you notice an old thought pop up, don’t beat yourself up. Gently observe it and then choose a different thought that works for you and the life you want for yourself.⁣

⁣

It’s time to stop playing small and pretending you don’t know how powerful you truly are - in the bedroom and beyond. No more lying to yourself. No more acting as though you aren’t worthy.⁣

⁣

You are infinitely powerful, it’s time to reclaim that truth!

F.A.Q. - Kegel Balls

So you’ve probably heard of “Kegel Balls” or “Ben Wa Balls”, from friends or even movies. And after asking a few questions you might have also considered if you should get yourself a set.

But then you notice there are so many options to choose from, with so many different functions, and do they even work…

To make your life easier and hopefully guide you into a direction to make a decision, we’ve gathered up the most frequently asked questions regarding kegel balls and the best answers the internet can provide.

1. What are Kegel Balls? They are usually one or several connected balls (usually made from glass, metal, or silicone) with a cord at the end which is used to remove them. You insert them into your vagina, then contract and release your pelvic floor muscles around the balls. It’s like a work out for your vagina.

2. How do they work? For Pelvic-floor strengthening: Kegel balls come in various sizes and weights. Do daily contraction exercises and increase the weight gradually as you feel like your muscles are getting stronger. As the balls get heavier, the more strength you need to hold it inside. Start small/light. For Pleasure: Some Ben Wa Balls can be used as sex toys! Some even have vibration features to make it even more interesting. Another use for the string kegel balls are to try pulling them out very slowly to heighten your sensations.

3. Who needs them? Aging, childbirth, and obesity can all weaken pelvic floor muscles and lead to incontinence. Training these muscles can help prevent potentially embarrassing urine leaks and may make sex better for both women and their partners during heterosexual intercourse. Sex may become more enjoyable when blood flow is increased to the area and making it easier to contract these muscles.

4. What are the risks? Kegel balls are generally considered safe, but it is advised not to use them right after you have a baby (you can have vaginal tearing that needs to heal), and you should not leave them in more than six hours. No matter what they are made of, clean them after every use with mild soap and water to avoid any bacterial infections. And as always, remember the lube!

Hopefully this helped you with the big questions regarding Kegel Balls. Now that you are all set to go, feel free to have a look at our options in the store and let us know if you have any other questions. Feel free to drop a comment below.
