Self-massage is an integral part of self-care, self-pleasure, supporting the nervous system to relax, and strengthening our connection & sensitivity to the body. In addition, self-massage can be utilized as a tool to heal sexual shame, body shame, and to create feelings of safety in the body by engaging sensory awareness.
There are many ways to elevate your self-massage ritual so that it engages more of your senses, which will serve to bring you more overall enjoyment in connecting with your body.
You can do this by adding music, scents, and a luxurious massage oil/butter. We LOVE to use Pussy Butter™ for our self-massage because it is 100% organic, smells and TASTES divine… Like white chocolate and roses! Due to its incredible smell, taste, and texture, so many women have found Pussy Butter™ to exponentially increase the pleasure of self-massage, as it heightens the quality of the whole sensory experience.
When engaging in self-massage, it is important to tune into your body and touch yourself in ways that feel most nourishing, relaxing, and pleasurable to you. Below, we also offer ways to explore self-touch if you find you are at a loss of what to do or you want to try something different…
- Massage your belly using your fingers, palms, or a Traditional Crystal Pleasure Wand to make small or large circles around your belly. It’s important to always go clockwise when massaging your belly, to encourage (instead of obstruct) digestion through the large intestine.
- Hold your hips and gently knead them & squeeze them, making sure you massage the front, sides, and back of your pelvic area.
- Give your breasts some love by gently massaging them with your hands, swooping your hands under and around your breasts in an upwards, "lifting" motion.
- Massage the outer & inner labia between your fingers, which feels incredible while using Pussy Butter™ because it’s ingredients are formulated to be hydrating and nourishing for your pussy’s lips.
- Engage in a pressure point massage with deep breathing around your womb & pelvic region. This can be especially intense for bringing up emotions, so remember to go slow and don’t push yourself any further than what feels nourishing to you. Using a Slim Crystal Pleasure Wand can be especially helpful for this.
- Squeeze and knead your inner & outer thighs, as well as your fleshy glute-area.
- Don’t forget your feet! We walk on them all day, every day - and it feels SO good to take time to massage the bottoms of your soles, applying circular motions of pressure on the ball and the arch. You can also give your feet a gentle stretch by lacing your fingers through your toes and then gently stretching them backwards.
- Like the feet, our hands work so hard each day and have tons of tiny muscles that feel so good to be rubbed, kneaded, and stretched. Use the back of the knuckle on your thumb to apply deeper, more specific pressure into the palm of your other hand.
- Use a high quality facial oil to gently massage your face. Our Limited Edition Gua Sha tool is also exquisite for this. Use your fingers or the Gua Sha to follow all the contours of your face and to gently knead into the facial muscles. This can even reduce wrinkles & signs of aging by stimulating circulation, lymph drainage, & collagen production.
It’s important to remember that self-massage can evoke shifts in the physical, emotional, & spiritual body. This is why we recommend that you go slow, remember to breathe, and set the intention to deeply relax throughout the practice. And as always, enjoy it! Self-massage is a beautiful ritual to appreciate and nourish your own body.
