Sweet Spice Massage Oil

4 oz. Custom blended by Moondreams

Pure essential oils of Nutmeg, Geranium, Grapefruit, and Ylang Ylang, in a base of safflower oil, with skin-nourishing Vitamin E.

Massage a palmful of oil into the back, legs, arms, and feet to relax and entice.

Touch is integral to creating a mood of intimacy and romance. Massage can help relax tense muscles and warm the skin, opening your awareness so you can connect more deeply with your partner.

• Massaging the feet. Work on one foot at a time. Rub a small amount of oil over the sole and heel. Holding the foot with one hand, use the other to gently squeeze and rub the arch, heel, toes, and the ball of the foot. Massage the top of the foot using the thumbs, rotating in small circles around the ankles and making long strokes with the thumbs between the long bones on the top of the foot, all the way to the toes.
   
• Massaging the back. Pour massage oil into the palm of one hand, and rub your hands lightly together to distribute it evenly between them. Place your hands palm-down on either side of the spine at the small of the back, and push upwards to the shoulders, sliding outward over the shoulder blades and back down the sides to come to rest where you started at the small of the back. Check with the recipient to see if more or less pressure is desired. Repeat several times. This stroke can be made into a continuous circular motion, which is soothing, and which also raises Kundalini energy (primal life-force energy) up the spine.
   
• Double Massage. Both partners pour a little oil into their hands. Sitting Indian style, facing each other, put your arms around each other so that one person’s palms go over the other’s shoulders; and the other person’s palms go around the other to rest on the small of the back. Both should rub with small, gentle, circular motions for a few minutes, then switch, so that both partners receive massage on both the upper and lower back.
