How is a Tantric massage performed and what are the benefits?

A Tantric massage will be a completely unique experience which will be unlike anything else you have ever experienced and initial reactions following a treatment often include the words ‘I didn’t know what to expect but I certainly didn’t expect anything as powerful as that’. This is one of many reasons that Tantra too me is not just my work but my passion, joy and love as through its practice I have personally experienced the transformational changes that are possible with this life changing therapy and I sincerely hope that within every treatment I share with you I am able to not only take you on your own personal journey of discovery but help you to facilitate positive change in whatever form that may take within your own mind and body.

I have to date worked with men, women, and couples of all different nationalities and from all walks of life, from 18 to 90! Tantra does not place importance on age or status as everyone is considered equal, I fully understand that because of the nature of the work it may seem daunting to some but I hope that by explaining what Tantra really is and what actually occurs during an authentic Tantric massage it will help to give you some insight so you can decide if it is something that you feel would be of benefit.

The experience begins as soon as you arrive, the room will already be fully prepared with the appropriate ambience, products required, and correct temperature and the session will begin with an explanation of what Tantra is and what the treatment entails to manage expectations, answer any questions you may have and ensure that you are able to feel fully informed and relaxed prior to the session beginning.

You will then fully undress and change into a sarong for the connection rituals which are a series of practices which collectively help to build mutual trust and respect before the session begins, so we are both able to remain fully relaxed throughout. It is important to understand that nudity in Tantra is not viewed in a sexual way but rather in a spiritual sense as clothes are viewed as a barrier to healing and expressing who you really are. Tantra encourages complete honesty and transparency so when the clothes are removed in that moment both giver and receiver are considered equal, irrespective to what their position in life is and as a result of this status been removed healing can then naturally occur within every aspect of the being. It is at this point that you will be shown specific breathing techniques and exercises which are designed to open the heart and keep the energy flowing throughout the treatment which are essential components of Tantra so that it can be practised effectively.

The body work will then commence using varying forms of touch to stimulate the senses followed by the use of long, conscious and sensuous massage strokes which are always heart led, first of all using the hands and then the body which is also known as Nuru massage and elevates the massage to a completely different level through the transference of energy from the givers body into the receivers. In Tantra the thought process regarding the genetalia is completely different than in other styles of massages as they are seen as being a part of the physical body and therefore should naturally be included in the massage.

Therefore, the prostate, Lingam and Yoni massage conclude the massage which although have their focus on helping the receiver to connect to their own heart, release blockages and increase the flow of chi within the body may also of course be extremely pleasurable.

During the lingam massage you will be taught how to master your own sexual energy through a technique known as edging using specialised breathing techniques and control to prolong ejaculation, the benefits of this is that the body can then build pleasure slowly as the sexual energy created throughout the massage regenerates the body leading to full body orgasms which are so much more powerful and beneficial than the usual genital ones and the effects are much longer lasting and the benefits of preserving the energy will be explained.

The session will conclude with removing the oil and a shower is available should you wish. Adequate time will then be given to allow the effects of the massage to integrate into the mind and body before the session is gently brought to a close.

A Tantric massage therefore when performed correctly with an authentic Tantric therapist is an experience that is not only very powerful and beneficial too the mind and body, but also incredibly loving and beautiful. There are many other benefits of Tantra including an improved sense of confidence and connection within yourself and your relationships, release of blockages within the body leading to improved intimacy (as you will learn how to manage and control your sexual energy), reduced stress and improved sleep.These changes will become evident very quickly and will not only be felt in the initial treatment itself, but also in the days and weeks that follow.

Please note: For sessions of 2 hours and above additional deep bodywork known as de armouring can be incorporated into the treatment following the connection rituals. This involves the use of specific techniques on the back and legs which result in releasing physical discomfort whilst opening the energetic gateways located at the neck, sacrum and spine, therefore allowing the Prana energy created during the treatment to flow more effectively. This when combined with the use of breath and sound (used within the connection rituals) leads to the release of excessive stress and trauma within the mind and body, therefore allowing the receiver to enter into a deeper state of relaxation and an increased sense of wellbeing.
