“When I am with you, we stay up all night.When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.
Praise God for those two insomnias!And the difference between them.”
“Only from the heart can you touch the sky.”
“The way you make love is the wayGod will be with you.”
Rumi
I have a friend who keeps two essential
oils at her bedside.
At bedtime, she chooses one over the
other, depending on how she wants the
night to go.
These two are:
Ylang Ylang and Sweet Marjoram
Ylang Ylang
The Flower of Flowers
The most potent aphrodisiac in aromatherapy,
Sensual, sweet, voluptuous, joyous.
Calming, good for high blood pressure.
Used medicinally as an antidepressant and for
any kind of sexual dysfunction.
Sweet Marjoram
Not very pleasant smelling; use it in small quantities.
Use it if you are choosing a good nights sleep. A very calming sedative, also good for high blood pressure.
Depending on the cause of your high bloodpressure, use either Ylang Ylang or Sweet Marjoram.
Citrus Essential Oils
They create a happy atmosphere and are
slightly UN-aphrodisiac.
If you don’t want a teenage party to get
out of hand, diffuse some Sweet Orange oil.
Bergamot, the finest citrus oil, blends well
with sensual oils like Jasmine
and Ylang Ylang.
Patchouli
Patchouli is not an aphrodisiac. It received that reputation because it was the favorite “hippy” oil.
It disconnects you from traditional values.It is for those who want to walk off the beaten path, like avant-garde artists.
It is only an aphrodisiac in the sense that that it helps you to do what your mother told you not to do.
Sandalwood
Another oil that many aromatherapy bookslist as an aphrodisiac, Sandalwood helps to project your life energy upward from the root chakra. This effect is good for you, whether you are single or in a relationship.
Sandalwood does not increase sexual desire.However, if your life energy is strong and directed upward, others may find you more
attractive.
Vetiver
Disliked by some, loved by others.
A strong, earthy, root-like scent.
It relaxes the areas of your first and second
Chakras and helps you embrace and enjoy your
earthy, physical nature.
My observation is that people who like it are
comfortable with their sexuality.
Most important: Do not take these as
prescriptions.
Find out what resonates with your mind-body
as well as with your partner’s.
Find out what nurtures your relationship.
Find out where the oils will take you.
I have come into my garden, my bride; I have gathered my Myrrh with my spice.
Song of Solomon
The spice oils, like Cinnamon, Cardamom, Ginger and Nutmeg, indeed do just that.
They make love spicier.But be careful with them.They need to be diluted; otherwise they can irritate the skin.
In particular, Cinnamon helps you get
your partner into the mood.
Cardamom adds a quiet inner
awareness to intimacy.
Nutmeg is slightly narcotic.
Choose them according to your taste.
