Tantric Massage
a short demonstration
My Approach
In Tantra, our bodies are seen as temples, a representation of the divine, and during a massage, every area of the body is worshiped and touched in a sacred and sensual manner. I approach the genitals from a place of utmost love and reverence (there may be intimate touch such as genital and/or anal massage if/when you are comfortable with that).
I will encourage you to express your wants, needs, desires, concerns, expectations, limits and boundaries in the initial assessment as well as during the session voicing and choosing what feels right for you.
My intention is to support you move towards freedom, acceptance and authenticity.
I test frequently for Covid. We accept there are risks when meeting other people and agree to take a lateral flow test within 24 hours before coming for a massage to minimise potential risks.
Prepare Yourself
for a Tantric Massage
Beforehand
1. Drink plenty of water before your session to avoid slight nausea post session.
2. Eat a light snack 1 hour before your massage to avoid feeling light headed after your massage due to very low blood sugar levels but not so large as to cause discomfort on the massage table.
3. Avoid alcohol and recreational drugs.
4. Where possible, avoid painkillers and muscle relaxers so that you are able to fully feel the massage and give uncompromised feedback.
5. Come as you are: No need to wait for a manicure or wax session. All shapes and sizes are welcome.
6. Ensure good personal hygiene avoiding any sweat and/or unpleasant smells.
7. Cover in a sanitary way any wound or verruca/wart in your hand or feet.
8. Anal douche beforehand, specially if having prostate massage (anal internal stimulation). If in doubt, talk to me:
http://www.herballove.com/solutions/beginners-guide-anal-douche-and-enema
During
1. Usually light or medium pressure are used. However, please tell me if the pressure applied reaches 7 in your pain threshold from 1 to 10 so that we stay within your “comfort zone”.
2. We will use movement, sound and breath to stimulate your senses.
You will be invited to pay attention to your breathing and different parts of your body. Engage in these suggestions as much as you want to make the most of your experience
3. Close your eyes and observe the sensations running throughout your body. This is also a practice similar to meditation which will also help slow down the breath, again enhancing the treatment.
4. Breathing enhances results because, when you move the breath, you move energy throughout your system. If you hold your breath, energy stops flowing. The best thing you can do when you are faced with any intense sensation during a treatment is to breathe through it. It helps if you can imagine that with every exhalation you are releasing any stagnant or unhealthy energy out of your body.
5. At any point, if any techniques or exercises are too intense, tell me so that they can be adapted to your present state.
Afterwards
1. Drink plenty of water since it is a natural immune system booster particularly during flu season.
2. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and processed sugars for some hours afterwards since these substances send a stress signal through your body.
3. If possible, take a little nap, sleep or get into the resting yoga pose savasana so that everything settles into its new pattern.
Sensual, Chakra, Erotic and Tantric Massages
Venture to a place of intimacy within yourself.
Some men feel the need of connecting with other men in different levels and degrees so slightly different experiences are offered:
SENSUAL MASSAGE
Massage techniques are used to achieve or enhance sexual arousal. The focus is on relaxation and pleasure through strokes in chest, abdomen, legs and gluteus (erogenous zones).
TANTRIC CHAKRA MASSAGE
cleanses and balances the 7 main centres of energy in your body using focused awareness, visualisations, intentions, mantras, sounds, energy work, crystals and touch.
TAO EROTIC MASSAGE
is designed to collect and channel sexual energy to reinvigorate the entire body, mind, and soul. It also helps generate awareness of one’s own body and emotions.
Experiencing full-body touch without having to be concerned about a partner’s pleasure, the person receiving reaches a deep state of internal awareness. Practitioners of this art can access an inner certainty, along with profound pleasure and ecstatic states.
TANTRIC MASSAGE
is a style that increases your energy levels and encourages you to have a deeper connection with your own body.
It is much more profound, healing and ecstatic than a “happy ending massage” or an “erotic massage”. It may lead to orgasm and climax but not necessarily. Please bear in mind that if your session is focused on your "getting off", you will probably miss any inherent spiritual opportunity.
It was created from the belief that if you are sexually happy and relaxed then your health will benefit. The Hindus describe Tantra as achieving personal growth through pleasurable existence. The massage itself does tend to cause orgasms, BUT these are described as a bonus rather than the aim.
In a tantric massage you need to be present in the room at all times observing what is arising for you. It may be bodily sensations, thoughts, feelings or emotions. They will come up and go, teaching something about yourself in that process.
A tantric massage is more active than other styles since you are invited to do some exercises involving sound, your breath and movement of different parts of your body aiming to work the physical, energetic, emotional and spiritual bodies. However, if those invitations become too intense, we can adapt them to make your experience more suitable to your present needs.
