SURVIVING CANCERLAND: THE PSYCHIC ASPECTS OF HEALING

Yoga practices & meditation are another method of dealing with sexual challenges.

These practices bring your full awareness into your body, breath, movement and voice. One such Sexual Yoga is Tantra Yoga, the Yoga of Sacred Sexuality

This practices the acceptance of all parts of ourselves & connects sex with spirit. If you take care of your spirit, it will take care of you!

But what if we can’t or won’t go into a sex shop?” one girlfriend exclaimed after hearing my story. I’ve since discovered some pharmacies carry lubricants other than K-Y jelly.
