Sensual Massage

Sensual massage is all about feeling. You do not need to be a licensed massage therapist to bring your partner the joy of being completely immersed in sensual pleasure. What you do need is the desire to give and receive with complete honesty and trust. As your hands glide over the warm and supple skin of your partner, you will not only be relaxing them and draining away the tensions of the day, you will be melding your relationship in to a unified whole through the power of touch.
The skin is our largest organ and touch is our primary sense. We all need to touch and to be touched. Before we are born our sense of touch connects us to the world around us, and as infants the loving and caring touch of our parents is vital to the fundamental development of our lives as health human beings. Unfortunately, as we grow older we tend to "loose touch" with those around us and sometimes with ourselves.
Sensual massage can help us to regain the many physical, emotional and spiritual benefits of being touched. By opening up to your partner you will feel immense pleasure from touching being touched. Perhaps it is this great need that causes the heart to race and the breath to become short in anticipation of your lovers caress. A desire to connect with those around us in the most fundamental and intimate way. Somewhere deep inside we know the emotional bonding such a touch can create and we yearn to poses it
Touch is the purest form of communion. Sensual massage gives us the ability to communicate with each other on a level that transcends our normal day to day exchanges of information. It removes our beliefs, perceptions, opinions, and attitudes that can prevent us from truly connecting. During the sensual massage the giver of the massage and the receiver, become united through touch. By taking the time to give your lover a sensual massage you can show them complete love and acceptance.
The sensual massage is not just touch or even just a massage. It is the complete immersion of the senses in the surrounding sensations for both the giver and the receiver. We all know the soft light of a flickering candle is romantic. The smell of roses and the taste of chocolate stimulate the senses and produce actual changes in the body. Changes the will lengthen your life and put more living into that life.
Throughout history sensual massage has been used to balance and cleanse the mind and body. Sensual massage is great for stress management, improving circulation, digestion and strengthening the immune system. If romance is about love and love is about giving a part of ourselves to each other. What could be more romantic than a gift that will bring harmony to the body, the mind, the senses and the soul?

Sandalwood and Neroli are heady musky scents that simulate desire. We are all familiar with how scents can have dramatic effects on our emotions and feelings. you can use essential oils to set the scene for a relaxing sensual massage, or a stimulating prelude to a night full of Passion and pleasure.

A few tips when using essential oils to keep in mind.

1. Choose an oil that is right for the occasion. - If you aim is to relax make sure you are not using an oil know for its stimulating effect such as lemon or grapefruit.

2. Use a good carrier oil. - This is one of the best reasons for selecting professional grade massage oils rather than food grade oils. While almond oil feels and smells great, if you are going to be blending it with a incompatible essential oil you wont get the effects you desire. For example, I love to use lavender, it is very relaxing and will almost instantly get rid of a tension headache, but it dose not mix well with almond oil.

3. Make sure you buy only real essential oil. - Many of the more expensive oils are diluted or "cut" with low quality oils or additives. You will not get the benefits of the essential oil if you try to get it cheap. There is no such thing as inexpensive rose oil. It takes about 440 lbs of rose petals to make 2 pints of essential oil. Of course there are other oils that cost less, but don't think you are getting a deal if you find an unusually low price for an oil.

4. Before using an oil check for allergies. - Essential oils are highly concentrated plant essences. If you are going to have a reaction, it is better to learn with a drop on your wrist, than after you have had it rubbed all over your body.

5. Don't use too much essential oil. - A little will go a long way. Start with a 2% solution. That is 5 drops in a tablespoon of oil. For a full body sensual massage, 10 drops of essential oil in 2 Tablespoons should do the trick. As you experiment with your essential oils you will soon learn what you and your partner like.
