Mindfulness represents the most significant shift in the world of counselling and psychotherapy within the last decade. Mindful approaches have been hailed as the 'third wave' of cognitive behavioural-therapy and mindfulness has been recommended – and found to be effective at treating – a wide variety of mental health issues. There has been a proliferation of popular self-help books based on mindfulness approaches, and much debate between western mindfulness practitioners and Buddhist scholars about the ways in which mindful theory and practice is being adapted for western audiences. To date, however, there has been relatively little research or writing considering the potentials of mindfulness for the arena of sexual and relationship therapy. This book aims to address this by bringing together many of the key practitioners and researchers who are working in this area. The book presents a range of perspectives on what mindful theory and practice has to offer to our understandings of, and work with, sex and relationships. This book was originally published as a special issue of Sexual and Relationship Therapy.

Sexual Mindfulness shows you how to apply the principles and practices of mindfulness to explore your sexual identity and enhance your sexual relationship with your partner. It provides a road map for achieving great sex with fun, easy to master exercises and information that guide you through each chapter.

In Sexual Mindfulness, Dr. Blonna shows you how to use this complete awareness to have the best sex possible, regardless of your age or how long you've been with your partner. Dr. Richard Blonna is a world-renowned expert in understanding how the mind and body work together to reduce stress and enhance sex.

“I learned about the mechanics of female sexual pleasure in my sex ed class.” “I am able to have a difficult conversation with my partner about our relationship.” “I can boldly and openly carry a tampon to the restroom in public.” "I am able to pursue my pleasure and my partner's pleasure during sex." “I am totally comfortable being naked in front of a new partner.” If you disagreed with any of these statements (or all of them), you’re not alone. You are one of many, many women who are feeling the effects of “sexual madness.” According to Jennifer Gunsaullus, PhD, sociologist and sex coach, it’s time for women to break free from the societal baggage they carry in relation to sexual education, expectations, and fulfillment. From Madness to Mindfulness sets out to help women empower themselves to transition out of a state of sexual madness, and into a state of sexual mindfulness—a state in which women can give themselves permission to feel more worthy of love and great sex (and then have it!). Dr. Jenn will guide you through the process of assessing levels of “mis-education” in regard to relationships, communication, sex, passion, desire, and body image, and integrating mindfulness practices to overcome your own personal “madness.” Replete with personal anecdotes and a wide array of client stories, along with guided questions, action items, and tips to create a personal Reinventing Sex plan, Dr. Jenn will help you to become a thriving sexual being… on your own terms.

Relational And Sexual Satisfaction And Mindfulness In Midlife written by Chelom Leavitt and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017 with categories.
Sexual health during midlife is not limited to physical well-being, but also includes aspects of mental and social well-being. This broad concept of sexual health may be best understood by using objective standards (e.g., sexual frequency) and subjective perceptions (e.g., relational and sexual satisfaction). A range of demographic, physical health, individual, relationship, and cultural factors contribute to sexual health. Recently, researchers have considered mindfulness as another contributor to relational and sexual health. Mindfulness may be one mechanism that enables midlife adults to experience healthy relational and sexual satisfaction. Research in this area has predominantly examined associations between trait mindfulness and relational and sexual satisfaction. However, even individuals who are mindful in daily activities, as assessed by trait mindfulness, may find it difficult to remain mindful during a sexual experience due to additional obstacles such as sexual anxiety, distraction, expectations of performance, sexual goals, inhibition, or self-criticism. Thus, it is important to consider associations between sexual mindfulness, a form of state mindfulness, and relational and sexual satisfaction. The purpose of this dissertation was to examine factors that may contribute to midlife relational and sexual health by developing a new measure of sexual mindfulness, examining the contributions of mindfulness and desire discrepancy to relational and sexual satisfaction, and examining the roles of culture and gender in relational and sexual satisfaction. To address these questions, I collected data on 1445 midlife adults (ages 35 to 60, 45% female) from the U.S., Ukraine, and Turkey. In Paper 1, I developed a measure of mindfulness during sexual experiences, the Sexual Mindfulness Measure (SMM). The SMM proved to be a two-factor measureobservation and non-judgment of experience. The SMM showed reliability across gender, age groups, and marriage lengths. The SMM also showed explanatory value above and beyond trait mindfulness. In Paper 2, I used this newly constructed measure to evaluate whether trait and sexual mindfulness moderate the association between sexual desire discrepancy and relational and sexual satisfaction. Being mindful by observing during sexual experiences moderated the association between desire discrepancy and sexual satisfaction. In Paper 3, I examined cross-cultural differences in sexual health in the U.S., Ukraine, and Turkey, as well as examined how cultural differences may interact with gender. I found that adults in the U.S. kissed more, had vaginal and oral sex less frequently, felt more satisfied with their romantic relationships and their sex lives, and were less judging of sexual experiences than adults in Ukraine and Turkey. Gender differences did not vary by country. Across the three studies, findings indicate that context is an important aspect of midlife relational and sexual health. Midlife adults are influenced by factors at both the macro and micro level. Sexual mindfulness may provide skills that encourage midlife adults to let go of sexual expectations or goals and judgments that diminish their satisfaction with sexual experiences. Future research should consider further cross cultural validation of the SMM and continued examination of how sexual mindfulness contributes to both relational and sexual health.

Awaken your mindful sensuality and reconnect with your partner with Passion and Presence. Most romantic relationships follow a predictable pattern of initial enchantment followed by inevitable disenchantment. But relationships don't have to stay in disenchantment or end! Passion and Presence offers readers a proven path back to connection and intimacy--often in deeper ways than before. Sex therapist Maci Daye draws on her popular international Passion and Presence workshops to show couples how their erotic difficulties can be a portal to creativity, compassion, and unparalleled growth. Exercises and reflections guide readers down what Daye calls the "naked path" of awakened intimacy. On this path, we courageously examine ourselves, our barriers, and our relationship patterns, ultimately finding fresh ways to heal and connect, and revitalize eros. With gentle clarity, Daye addresses the everyday challenges of "real life" sex, such as sex that has become routine, differences in preferences or desire, power struggles, a history of trauma, changes ranging from childbirth to aging, infidelity, communication challenges, and more. Engaging stories depicting couples of diverse ages, backgrounds, genders, and orientations illustrate how the practice of Passion and Presence can help any couple establish a more intimate and wakeful erotic life.
