As you will soon discover, there is a whole other sexual world out there just begging to be explored. This approach will teach you how to cultivate and apply a mindful focus to the many aspects encompassing sexuality, whether it is attraction, flirtation, arousal, or love, allowing for powerful and new sexual experiences. The main single thread that weaves through the practice of mindful sex involves slightly slowing down in every aspect of the act of sex, from creating the setting, to practicing foreplay, to the actual act of having sex, whatever you consider that to be, and receiving the gifts that come from sex. Additionally, a mindful approach towards sex offers integrated solutions to sexual challenges in a straightforward, practical, and easy (and enjoyable) way, adapted from the best the East and West has to offer.

 

 

 

If you want to learn more about the use of the mindfulness approach for people who want to enhance their sexual lives and relationships, the approach is described in Elisha Goldstein, PhD, and Bonnie Zylbergold, MA's book Buddha in the Bedroom...manuscript in process. Written in a playful and accessible manner, it gives an overview of the approach in short chapters that all have practices to try out. The book also tells the story of how the authors came to develop MBST using clinical transcripts that bring the program to life.
