The Intimacy Reset: How to Reconnect With Your Partner (and Yourself)
Rediscover emotional and physical intimacy with simple rituals, communication tips, and mindful connection — with a little CBD-powered magic.

Why CBD Belongs in Your Intimacy Toolkit
CBD is having a major glow-up in the intimacy space — and for good reason. Research and expert insights suggest:
• Reduced anxiety / performance stress: CBD can help calm your mind, making it easier to be present and open.
• Better blood flow + sensitivity: Topical CBD like lube may promote circulation in intimate areas, increasing responsiveness.
• Pain + inflammation relief: Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, CBD may help with discomfort, irritation, or tightness during intimacy.
Bottom line: CBD doesn’t just feel nice — it’s also functional.

The Intimacy Reset Ritual: Step-by-Step
Here’s how to use these products to bring emotional and physical connection back to your relationship — and to you.
- Set the Mood With the Candle
Begin your reset by lighting the Hemp Leaves Soy Candle. The soft glow + soothing scent creates a calming, sensual environment. This isn’t just about ambiance — the candle signals to your nervous system: we’re doing something special now.
- Self-Care Warm-Up
Before you fully engage with your partner, give yourself a mini solo ritual:
• Massage Private Revive It Cream gently on intimate external areas. This isn’t about sex yet — it’s about reconnecting with your own body.
• Take a few deep, slow breaths. Let the CBD do its thing while your mind quiets.
- Micro-Connection Check
Take 5 minutes with your partner:
• Say how you’re feeling (vulnerable is good).
• Compliment something about them — silly or serious.
• Skip the screen. Look at their face. Be present.
- Skin-to-Skin Touch
Use the Long Night Personal Lube for light, intentional touch. This could be:
• A slow massage
• Gentle caresses
• Non-sexual touch — just skin, energy, presence
Because the lube + CBD help ease friction and tension, it makes touch feel safer, more relaxed, more you two.
- Turn On the Heat (if That’s Where You Want to Go)
If you decide to go deeper into physical intimacy:
• Reapply a little of the lube as needed.
• Use the tender, grounded energy you’ve built.
• Let the CBD support you — for more comfort, more sensitivity, more flow.
- Aftercare & Reflection
After:
• Take a minute to just lie there, skin still touching.
• Whisper something you appreciate.
• If you want, use a little more Private Revive It Cream as a soothing balm for after.

Communication Tips to Sustain the Reset
• Set an intention: At the start, say out loud what you both want from this reset (more closeness? less stress? more play?).
• Schedule micro-rituals: They don’t have to be long — even 10 minutes 2-3x/week makes a difference.
• Check in regularly: How are the rituals going? Does something need to change?
• Be gentle but honest: If something feels off — a touch, a phrase, a product — talk about it.
⸻
Why This Works — From a Neuroscience + Energetic Perspective
• ECS engagement: Your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) responds to CBD in the skin, helping regulate sensation and stress.
• Nervous system reset: The candle, the massage, the breathwork — they all calm your parasympathetic system, making intimacy feel safe again.
• Ritual = meaning: When you do something intentionally (vs. on autopilot), you create memory, safety, and deeper emotional connection.

Final Thoughts
Look — intimacy isn’t always easy. Life is messy, bodies change, stress shows up. But here’s the thing: reconnecting doesn’t require a retreat or a grand gesture.
Sometimes, it just takes:
• a flame (the candle)
• a little CBD silk (the lube)
• gentle care (the cream)
• real conversation
• skin that remembers what softness feels like
Do this. Not just for your partner… but for you. Let the reset be a soft reclamation of pleasure, presence, and love.
