How to put the fire back in your libido

• 
  This was my morning; get up, put coffee on, make lunches, fold laundry, drop off kids, get groceries, clean up dishes, feed the dog, return phone calls and emails, grab a bite to eat, fold laundry, tidy my office, put gas in the car, pick up dry cleaning... I seem to be on auto pilot this morning and I have a few negative thoughts floating around in my head about the other people who live here who also contribute to the mess; the trail of toys and assorted 8-year-old objects around the house; a measly 20 seconds of romance and the never-ending pile of laundry!  I will be heading out for my walk to de-stress before my chakras get all out of whack (especially my Sacral Chakra as date night is in the works).  The dog is watching me as I begin my deep breathing exercises in the kitchen. 
  
  Our lives are experienced through our chakras; they are like the power stations of our body.  Chakras bring our body to life and keep it healthy by filtering our emotions, both positive and negative.  When we have a build-up of negative feelings, our chakras may shrink in size, slow down or become blocked completely.  This is true when you experience low, or non-existent, libido as your Sacral Chakra is not working properly.
  
  The Sacral Chakra - sometimes referred to as the Swadhisthana Chakra in Tantra is located between the base of the spine and the navel.  It's main function is to pump spinal fluid to the brain, keeping the brain nourished and young.  The Sacral Chakra is also related to creativity and the quantity of sexual energy a person has. 
  
  When the Sacral Chakra is open, a person has a lot of sexual energy and sexual power and when blocked, sexual sensations will be dismal and disappointing.  Some people who have problems with guilt and sin, especially in the religious sense, have beliefs that sex is dirty, or is a sin, or that the body itself is sinful.  These beliefs directly correspond with Sacral Chakra problems. 
  
  Here are some tips to increase your libido:
  Reiki is an amazing healing technique to balance your Sacral Chakra and all your chakras to keep your energy nice and high and support your libido. 
  Regular exercise to increase sexual drive and stamina.
  Sneak a night away to reconnect - even a night in a hotel in town.
  Enjoy foods to increase your libido:
  Oysters are high in dopamine which is a hormone related to libido.
  Celery contains androsterone which is said to be a sexual stimulant for women.
  Bananas contain bromelain enzymes which help boost sex drive. 
  
  We are meant to create fully and express our creations joyfully and sexual expression is an integral part of that.  Our bodies are meant to be loved and enjoyed by receiving and giving pleasure.  By re-igniting our inner passions, our emotions are free-flowing, we feel alive and vibrant, and our inner goddess shines.
