The Importance of Being Present

Many individuals struggle to be fully present during sexual encounters, often getting lost in their thoughts about performance or appearance. Focusing on these distractions can hinder the ability to achieve orgasm, which relies on being fully in one’s body. Practicing mindfulness through meditation, yoga, or even daily tasks can help build the skill of embodiment. Research suggests that women who practice yoga report having more orgasms, as it cultivates awareness of the body and sensations.
