"Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it." - Plato |
Health is an important aspect to one's sexual appetite and sexual energy. Poor health results in softer erections, lower sex drive, and lower stamina.
Many of us are living lives where our work resides online and at home or in an office. This results in a very sedentary lifestyle. When you sit around all day toxins start to collect and your body begins to break down.
Think of the blood, nutrients, and energy that run through your veins, intestines, and meridians (energy pathways) like a river. Is that river stagnating or flowing? If you are very active, you can bet your body is like a fast moving river.
Your body mirrors your actions. If you sit around all day your blood, nutrients, and energy are going to slow down and stagnate as well. This is not helpful to your sexual energy.
You don't have to become an all star athlete overnight but making a few adjustments will go a long way. Here are a few easy ways to become active:
1) Walk after meals
2) Stretch Daily
3) Run, work out at the gym, or do other exercises
If you've been living a sedentary lifestyle for a while and commit yourself to doing all of the above everyday right from the start, it's going to be tough to stick to it. So start with a walk a day for a couple weeks, then add in the stretching, then add in running or other exercises.
Take a Walk
Walking is easy, it only takes 10-15 minutes, and can be done anywhere. Best of all, it has many beneficial side effects. After lunch simply take a walk around your neighborhood or office building (outside in the fresh air is best).
When you walk clear your mind and don't focus on your problems.
Your mind will chatter away as it always does but just let it be. Don't get involved with the internal and endless dialogue of the mind.
Leave your cell phone behind if you can. Then take the time to look around and observe everything and everyone around you.
Be present.
Walking and ignoring mind chatter will train your mind to let go of stress leading to more happiness and better energy movement within your body.
Stephane says "you can't be stressed out while your breathing is good" which is why he sends his girlfriends on walks if they get overly emotional. Walking forces you to take deep breaths, similar to ones you would take during meditation.
Benefits of Walking include:
1. Improves digestion and circulation
2. Sunlight provides vital nutrients (like vitamin D) to your body
3. Serves as an active meditation allowing you to reconnect with nature and source energy (also known as the universe, or God)
4. Makes time seem to slow down and serves as a mini adventure (if you are present enough to enjoy it)
5. Wards off depression and low self-esteem.
Stretching
After you get the walking into your routine, add in daily stretches. This is especially useful if you work on computers all day.
Daily stretching increases your flexibility and improves your range of motion of your joints. So when you're getting busy with your lady friend, you can enjoy the pleasure of trying various positions with ease.
Stretching also improves circulation, relieves stress, and increases energy levels. It helps the blood flow through the body so it will be easier to get an erection and maintain it longer. Also, with less stress you will be out of your head and into the moment to a greater degree which helps your "performance" in bed.
