Start with the essential elements:
Focus – The single most important component of the atmosphere is you. Focus on your partner, and they will be focused on you and your touch.
Engage all the senses – Consider all of the facets of the experience – not just touch, but also temperature, sound, scent, and illumination. Lighting a few AFTERGLOW Natural Massage Candles is a great start. The anticipation of the warm massage oil adds to the excitement.
Make it personal – Everyone enjoys a massage, yet each person has their own specific desires. The “chemistry” that two people share is the unique interaction of their individual personalities. When you use BEYOND, choose the sensations that suit your partner and the mood the best – use WARMING to raise the temperature of touch, COOLING to awaken the senses and EUPHORIC to promote a sense of wellbeing.
Now, work your way from head to toe:
Dip a fingertip into the AFTERGLOW Massage Candle, and slowly massage the warm oil into the temples. Trace the hairline from above the ears, down across the neck. Massage the neck with longer strokes from the base of the head to the top of the shoulders.
Next, select a Beyond
sensation. Apply it lightly across ear lobes or inner thighs to exhilarate the senses, or stroke the backs of knees and inner wrists to heat up pulse points.
Drizzle warm oil from the AFTERGLOW into the underside of CONTOUR M, then use it to massage the length of the back. Next, turn it over, using the large dome for broad strokes across the lower back and down the length of the legs.
Make your way down to the feet, using either AFTERGLOW or BEYOND for slip. If your partner is ticklish, concentrate on rubbing with your thumbs, rather than tracing with the fingertips.
As you progress through your massage, imagine how it feels for your partner – it’s important to stay connected to them as you explore their body. Take your time, and vary your techniques from light strokes to deeper massage.
Remember, the pleasure’s in the details.
