 What are the benefits of Kegel exercises and how to do them?

Kegel exercises provide so many benefits for both men and women and if you commit to doing them regularly within 6 weeks you should start to feel the difference. The pelvic floor muscles support the Bladder,Rectum and Uterus and therefore are particularly helpful to tighten muscles following childbirth or prevent leakages or gas during Menopause.
They help to give better control over bowel movements and help to prevent prolapse following surgical procedures. If sexual intercourse is proving painful strengthening the PC muscles can aid relaxation and therefore increase pleasure.
For men they help to strengthen the muscles which control the erection therefore bringing much needed relief to conditions such as premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction.
Below are two simple Kegel exercises for you to try.
Repeat each exercise 3 times daily.
First of all empty your bladder then locate your pelvic floor muscles if you struggle to find them try this exercise first.
When you are emptying your bladder squeeze and hold stopping the flow of urine for 5 seconds and then relax the muscles so the urine flow restarts and then repeat every 5 seconds.
..............................
For the second exercise simply squeeze the muscles as often as you are able to for a count if 10 seconds rest and repeat you can do this any where you like at the office or even travelling , so long as you are discreet nobody needs to know what you are doing so make the most of your commuting time by helping your body!

The 5 main types of massage movements and benefits

Image
There are a variety of different strokes used during a typical massage routine. This depends on the style of massage, the clients  requirements and how the therapist conducts her treatment.  When I am working on a client I personally like to use a variety of massage movements not only to enable the massage to be as effective as possible, but also so that I can tailor make the session to cater for each individuals needs as client satisfaction is extremely important to my practice. Below is a summary of the main massage movements used in swedish massage which is the most common style of massage practised,the reasons for each stroke and the benefits that are gained as a result. All the strokes are done in an upwards motion towards the heart. The strokes are described as I personally use them and in order for what I have found to be the most effective way of practicing but each therapist obviously has their own method of what works best for them and their treatment. ...

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others?

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others? Everyone one of us if we choose to be completely honest with ourselves have at some time in our life used defence mechanisms as a way of protecting ourselves from feelings which arise as a result of our ego feeling threatened in some way and coming under attack. Defence mechanisms are not something we can always consciously control, they can often be non voluntaristic but can often lead to what others may perceive as unpleasant behaviour leading to inevitable judgement if they are not recognised for what they are. A huge reason why I am so passionate about tantra is that it encourages people to remove the mask and be free to be who they really are and yet so many of us continue to wear these masks to enable us to continue feeling confident in our everyday lives.

  Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2 In a previous post I explored Dr Peter J. Adamo book “Eat right for your type” which suggested that following a diet specifically recommended for individual blood types diet could have a huge impact on health and wellbeing.   I decided to explore this issue of blood types further and uncovered other fascinating concepts that can be derived from blood type including the exercise recommended to allow the body to operate at an optimum level, personality characteristics and recommended careers which would be suitable. Some of the information stated below is taken directly from Dr Adamo’s book. Through my research I have shared below what I discovered about each of the blood types, of course as individuals this may differ from your own personal characteristics but perhaps see if you can relate in any way …In Japan blood type is particularly favoured in relating to compatibility in Love and jo...
