Ylang Ylang Massage Oil
A Valentine massage is one of the nicest presents to give to your partner. What better way is there to celebrate your relationship than with a massage which can bring you even closer together. Touch is a basic need enjoyed by all : relaxing, soothing, calming, it can also be sensual, intimate and a great emotional release.
Preparation as in most things is important.
Set the scene by firstly making sure the room is warm, somewhere where there will be no interruptions; close the curtains, light some candles, spread some warm blankets or a duvet on the floor and put some soft music on.
Before beginning your Valentine massage make sure your hands are warm. It's not a good start if your Valentine jumps to the ceiling when your freezing cold hands touch their body. Rub the palms of your hands together to bring a little heat to the surface and then just before you touch your partner tell them that you are about to touch them, as a way of gaining their permission and also so that you don't startle them.
Starting with a back massage, follow the contours of the back from the base of the spine to the shoulders in an r shape. Ask your Valentine if the pressure you are using is acceptable : "Would you like more/less pressure or is it just right?" Listen to your partner's body with your fingers - it will let you know if there is any tension or tightness which could benefit from extra massage. Change your massage to small circular pressures and finish with simple strokes. Don't worry if you have never massaged before as long as you both enjoy the experience.
In Indonesia it is the custom when a young couple marry to spread ylang ylang flowers over their bed on their wedding night. This is believed to lessen inhibitions. Essential oil of ylang ylang is a wonderful mix. Perceived as warming, intoxicating and aphrodisiacal, with the ability to relax and uplift, leaving you with a sense of wellbeing.
