I'm not ultimately known for being a hopeless romantic. I get bored very easily. I expect a lot out of people, typically pushing many to their emotional breaking point. I have a very thick bubble that can take quite a while to penetrate. I've been called aloof, bitchy, self centered...the list goes on and gets worse. To sum it up, my romantic relationships, mostly, have caused me to become the ultimate queen of “the game”. So I will most likely be alone for a bit, so I like to do things that make me feel EXTRA comfortable with myself as a person.

I know many of you on this blog are headed to the altar. With that "I do" comes bringing to the table a lot of "your stuff". Not just your couches and old T-shirts you will never wear, but your mental and physical "stuff". For women this can heavily include how you feel about your body and how you look. Add the fact that society places this weight on how much sexual attention your partner requires and I think we have our hands full with unpacking! I think a lot of people are scared to talk about sex and what role femininity plays in that, but to not include it when speaking holistically - mind/body/soul would be a disservice.

So yes, this post is about how to become one with your lady parts.

My life will forever be intertwined with Love IT! EVV as many of my life experiences since 2014 have been centered around it. This is how I came to discover the Yoni Egg. Our Creative Director brought it to the team’s attention during our brainstorming session for Issue 14. Once we decided I would investigate further, I found Love Stone. The website goes into further details about usage and lists many benefits. These are the ones that caught me eye:

Develop an intimate and loving relationship with your yoni, your entire body, and ultimately yourself.
Strengthen and tighten vaginal wall and increase sensitivity during intercourse. Become much more orgasmic.
Strengthen pelvic floor to cure incontinence and prevent prolapse in the future.
Gain control over the vaginal muscles and rock your lover’s world.
Enhance your Tantra, Qigong, and yoga practice.
Reduced PMS symptoms, menstrual cramps and the duration of the menses.
Improve overall health and well-being.

I didn't really choose the yoni egg as a service to "get it right, get it tight" for a man. I truly wanted to see how it would connect my and further my idea of a true holistic mind set. Which means nothing involving our mind/body are separate, they all play into each other.

I wish I could tell you my skepticism proved even slightly correct, but from the moment I put it in, I felt a quiet power. The whole first day I felt like all my decisions were so grounded. I felt...softer. The experience as a whole is really hard to explain. I'm sure the physical and emotional effects vary from person to person. I completely felt more aware of my body, and in a strange way, my thoughts got quieter and slower. I had more time to process what feelings from which they were stemming. I did of course feel sexy, I was holding a jade freaking ball in my lady parts with a mere squeeze of those muscles.

The website suggests you let the egg do it's thing and come out when it's ready. Sometimes YOU won't be ready for when it comes out. You can view a hilarious stream of comments on this via my Facebook page and also suggestions on how to get your stone out of a toilet if need be.

Once out, I still felt the effects. My intimate experience afterwards felt closer. I can't speak for the other person, but I could definitely tell through our conversations that things most definitely felt deeper. Mostly because I felt a deeper connection with myself.

All in all, if you are into things that bring mind / body connection, I highly recommended trying a yoni egg from Love Stone. There are a bunch of different options that are all semi precious stones that you can use for years to come as your needs change. This trend that's been around for thousands of years is surely one that needs to stay thousands more.
