What does wellness and sexual health have to do with being your best self? EVERYTHING.
Health, Sex and Wellness
Sexual health is a very accurate measure of your overall health and influences every aspect of your life.
Sexual health has always been an important part Chinese medicine and is about whole health, yet it is rarely touched upon because culturally sex and sexuality is a "touchy" subject. The topic of sex and sexuality is provocative; there is a lot of fascination and shame at the same time, what a mixed message! The principles of Yin "and" Yang; are about "dynamic balance" the alignment of masculine and feminine energies. Health is a dynamic process and therefore sexual energy plays an important role.
PTSD and unaddressed traumas disrupt physical and emotional health. This can come as a surprise, especially when people have been in therapy. “I already dealt with this in therapy!” Healing is not linear. The body holds onto “stuff” or “trauma” and releases it when it is “safe”.
Our sexual energy connect us physically, energetically emotionally and spiritual. It is essential to our health and vitality, how our creative energy flows, it is our first Chakra, it is life and also death. When we cut this out of our life, we are basically killing ourselves; our sexuality, our creativity, our health and our prosperity, joy of life itself.
Too many people are disconnected from themselves and find it limits intimacy with others and that will become a barrier for sex, or any sex for that matter.
There is a lot of suffering from women and men that have pelvic pain and dysfunction which is a major barrier to sex as well as for men with erectile dysfunction.
