Good sex happens when you are calm and accepting. Sex works “best” when you aren’t stressed. In this episode, Jessie and special guest Dr Kelly Casperson, author of You Are Not Broken and host of the You Are Not Broken Podcast, chat about the mind and sex.  Kelly reminds us that the brain is a powerful sex organ. We talk about how mindfulness can make sex better. And how a scarcity mindset makes it worse.   In line with previous Mindful Healers Podcast episodes, transitioning well is key to enjoying sex.   There is no urgency needed — in the bedroom or in your mind.   Other fun and useful tidbits shared in this episode include: Yoga helps you get out of your head and into your body. Up leveling your parasympathetic nervous system makes sex better. Mindfulness and coaching help you enjoy sex more. Choose your thoughts wisely. Set an intention around sex. Focus on what you would like rather than what you don’t like. Tell a good story about yourself— and your partner. And one of Jessie’s favorites- ask good questions rather than unhelpful ones.  How can you make sex fun? How do you want to choose to think about sex? How might mindfullness change your expereince of sex? What good questions do you want to ask about sex? Is there a helpful story, that you actually believe, that you want to tell about your own sexuality, your body etc?   Find Dr. Kelly Casperson at www.kellycaspersonmd.com.
