Hello Mindgasm Explorers!  Advanced Player here with some tips to help loosen up the Pelvic Floor muscle.  An overly tight pelvic floor has the potential to hinder your progress with Mindgasm.  But learning to maintain a healthy pelvic floor can have multiple benefits.  From releasing tension to improving blood flow and above all else, enhance pelvic floor function. (This includes your Mindgasm orgasms.)  With these few simple tips you can ensure a pelvic floor ready for any amazing sensations your body can throw at you.  So lets begin!

There are 4 main principles to better your Pelvic Floor:
 
  • BREATHING
  • STRETCHING  (2 Types)
  • POSING
  • SQUATTING
 

Many do not realize, but your pelvic floor and your orgasms are closely linked.  Your pelvic floor can be what’s preventing you from achieving your Mindgasm orgasm.

Pelvic Floor Stretching

1. Deep Breathing: Deep diaphragmatic breathing can help relax the pelvic floor muscles. Sit or lie down comfortably, placing one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. Take slow, deep breaths, allowing your abdomen to rise as you inhale and fall as you exhale. Focus on fully relaxing your pelvic floor muscles with each exhale.

2. Butterfly Stretch: Sit on the floor with your knees bent and the soles of your feet touching each other. Gently press your knees toward the floor while keeping your spine straight. Hold this stretch for 20 to 30 seconds, gradually increasing the duration over time.

3. Hip Flexor Stretch: Kneel on one knee with the other leg in front of you, forming a 90-degree angle. Lean forward, keeping your back straight, until you feel a gentle stretch in the front of your hip and thigh. Hold this stretch for 20 to 30 seconds on each side.

4. Happy Baby Pose: Lie on your back and draw your knees toward your chest. Grab the outer edges of your feet with your hands, and gently pull your knees toward your armpits. Maintain a relaxed breathing pattern and hold the pose for 30 seconds.

5. Squatting: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, then slowly lower yourself into a deep squatting position. Keep your heels on the ground and your back straight. You can use your hands to help balance yourself. Hold the squat for 20 to 30 seconds and then stand back up. If this is challenging, you can start by holding onto a sturdy object for support.
