Sexual Superfoods

Nancy It’s a common complaint I hear from women: they gain a bit of weight, feel lethargic and have trouble sleeping. They suffer mood swings because of uncontrolled blood sugar levels. And if that’s not bad enough, their sexual vitality flies out the window. And most of our problems can be traced to the foods we eat. What sexual superfoods would you recommend to change all that?

Brigitte: You know, I’ve been 99% raw foodist for the past eight years, and I do think raw foods are where it’s at. In the raw food world, nuts and seeds are superfoods. They contain the life force to create new life. Anything that’s good for fertility is also good for sexuality. So if anyone is thinking they’d like to get pregnant, know that if it’s good for sexuality, it also improves fertility. Raw nuts and seeds: almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds help to improve the male prostate gland. Both sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds are high in zinc, which is a component of sexual fluids. Zinc is considered one of the sexy vitamins. All of those foods are high in Vitamin E. If you’ve ever looked at a bottle of Vitamin E, you’ve probably seen tecopherol on the label. All that means is to bring forth life, because there have been many years of observation that when Vitamin E is included in animal foods, it helps to prevent miscarriages and helps to promote healthy pregnancy. And I encourage anyone to eat more leafy, green vegetables, because greens are high in minerals.

Gardening

Since my return from Australia, I’ve been super busy getting ready for spring! And dealing with the snow :) I've been growing some sprouts -- here's where I am with my mini garden.

This is a flexible-space area between my kitchen and living room where the sprouts can get a lot of natural lighting. At the end of March I'll start planting seeds for the greenhouse! I’ll start posting pictures of the whole process soon.

I just spoke to my friend Gino from Ocean Water. We did an interview with Gino in November of last year. I'll post for you the whole process of sprouting with ocean water; we just need to edit all the information. Will post soon!

Here’s what I do with my sprouts: add them in my salad, juice them, and add them to my blended soups. Talk about packing in nutrition!

GREEN/JUICING/VEGGIES ...

Well, I’m sure you know what I'll be talking about for the next few months. I'm getting ready to juice this morning. I’m in the mood for something sweeter today, so yes, I’m adding carrots!

I'll be posting more information on different ways to cleanse your body. If you don’t have a juicer, that’s okay. There are many ways to get the same results! Click here to get more recipes from my FREE MANUAL

What I'm reading and listening this week

I have been listening to Sarah Brightman’s new CD called “Symphony.” Wow,  love it! Totally worth listening to. There's an edge to her album that is so pleasing to the ears.

I've caught up on the “best day ever” interviews with David Wolfe. I’ve downloaded a few of them on my iPod. I get so much out of his site! Check it out: www.thebestdayever.com

I also downloaded on my iPod Chapter 2 from Oprah’s and Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth" online class. It’s fantastic! Just to give you an idea of what this is about, the first exercise in Chapter 2 guides us to start listening to that "voice in the head" as often as we can. Pay attention to any repetitive thought patterns, particularly negative ones about yourself, your life or other people. It’s very powerful to write down these repetitive thought patterns ... as you can imagine, there’s more to it. Download the information and start on this empowering journey.

I also started reading the book also by Eckhart Tolle called “A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life’s Purpose.” The online class helps one to understand and put into practice the messages of this timely book.

Oprah and Eckhart Tolle's " A New Earth" online class!!

Oprah and Eckhart Tolle's lead an online class every week for 10 weeks! they start last week but you can still join in. Check this out!! www.oprah.com

Learn how to find and keep love, have a lifetime of great sex that gets better with age, and understand and remedy health concerns that impact your reproductive system.

Feng Shui For the Bedroom: Creating The Love Palace

This week I'm posting a few excerpts from Brigitte Mars' book called Sex,
Love & Health. If you haven't yet signed up for Thursday's teleclass, "Sexy
Secrets Revealed," where I'll be interviewing Brigitte, scroll down to the
next post.

One of the topics we'll talk about during the teleclass is "Feng Shui For The Bedroom: Creating The Love Palace"

Feng Shui has been used for more than five thousand years to harmonize the
chi that flows around and through our environment. Just as chi flows through
the body, so too chi flows through the home.

Here's one tip from Brigitte's book:

"Bedroom Decor: Decor in the bedroom should focus on pairs;

Solitary items and images promote independence, rather than harmonious relationships. If you keep one teddy bear on the bed, keep two instead. If you have artwork that depicts living beings on the bedroom walls, the beings should be in pairs.

Pairs of birds-especially ducks, geese, peacocks, phoenixes, and swans-carved from precious stones, such as aventurine, jasper, rose quartz, and tourmaline, are especially beneficial feng shui. Two geese flying high is a symbol of togetherness for those already in a relationship.

For good fortune in marriage, keep an image representing the moon in your bedroom."

Sexercises: Strengthening The Love Muscles

The third vital topic we'll cover during Brigitte's teleclass is
"Sexercises: Strengthening The Love Muscles."

Making love itself is a good exercise; it burns about 100 calories per
session. There are also many exercises designed specifically for boosting
sexual vitality, which we'll talk about.

Here's one example: The Kegel Exercises

"The kegel pelvic exercises have been known for thousands of years by
practioners of tantra as mool Bandha, or 'root locks.' They are named after
Dr. Arnold Kegel, who popularized them in North America in the 1950s as a
treatment for stress-related incontinence.

Kegels release tension, improve circulation, and strengthen muscles in the
pelvic area. For women, they can be used to strengthen muscles weakened by
childbirth and to increase the occurrence and intensity of orgasms. For men,
they give greater staying power and also massage the prostate. Kegels can also help men differentiate between orgasm and ejaculation.

To practice Kegels, you must tighten and then release the pubococcygeus muscles, which control the flow of urine and the anal sphincter. To find them, stop midstream the next time you are urinating. Can you feel the muscles in the pelvic area that allow you to halt the flow of urine? Then release. That tightening and then release amounts to one Kegel contraction.

When you practice Kegels, inhale while tightening and exhale while releasing. Hold each contraction for one to five seconds, and be sure to relax fully between contractions. Do the exercises three times daily,
starting with twenty-one contractions at each session and working your way up to one hundred!

This is such a great exercise; you can practice them in a room full of people, no one would ever notice."

Aromatherapy Love Potions

There are hundreds of ways to incorporate aromatherapy into your life,
especially your love life.

This massage oil encourage passion.
1 drop jasmine absolute
1 drop neroli essential oil
1 drop sandalwood essential oil
1 drop spikenard essential oil
1 drop ylang ylang essential oil
1 ounce vegetables oil (olive or jojoba oil)
Combine the essential oils in a small container and shake vigorously. Then add the vegetables and shake again until is truly blended.
