Tantra Massage
- The Medicine of Touch -
Ā
AĀ massage from a Tantric Therapist is no ordinary massage. They are healers, energy workers in deep relationship with the spiritual realm, and they regard the physical body as sacred.
Mindset:
There is an unspoken communication before a single touch is made, based on the mindset of the people involved. Your body can feel the difference between professional emotionally-disconnected politeness with invisible walls up, and the more open sense of spiritual love that honours the soul - even when, of course, there is still an appropriate code of conduct.
Being viewed as a sacred creation occupied by a divine being - a reflection of the infinite consciousness, the body blossoms and experiences a unique kind of nourishment. This richness is a stark contrast to being viewed simply as a job that needs to be done, as you tend to get with a regular massage therapist.Ā
The Tantric Therapist, who has spent countless hours in their spiritual practice training their concentration, maintains this reverential tone through their touch and throughout the massage session.Ā In tantric spiritual practice, this is considered to be an entire treatment in itself. The massage in an opportunity to honour The Divine in something akin to prayer.
Energetic Anatomy:
A Tantric Therapist is very familiar with the layers of the auric field - the energetic essence of your being that flows out from the physical body. The health and vibrancy of these layers have a direct reflection in the emotional, psychological and also the physical human experience. The same is true of the various energy centres and pathways; referred to as Chakras, Nadis, Meridians and Acupressure Points.
This may sound like a lot to remember, but the Tantric Therapist has spent years interacting with these aspects of their own energy systems as part of their spiritual practice. They have honed their ability to tune into the energetic makeup of others,Ā and make beneficial adjustments.
It is inevitable as we go through life that we pick up energies that arenā€™t good for us and build up certain blockages in the flow of our life force. Stress, negative emotional attachments and unprocessed trauma depletes the health of these systems. Talking therapy may help in identifying patterns but it has a limited healing ability. What needs to happen is a movement of the energy.
Massage:
The modern world with its fast pace, reduced connection to nature and a host of psychological pressures is creating much more density and heaviness in the human system. This effect, which can be seen all the way down to the tissues of the body, both accelerates the ageing process and interferes with our ability to connect spiritually. Modern Tantrics have observed that deep physical massage is a great method to counteract this, reducing the density of the body and opening up the energetic pathways to make energy work more effective.
Tantra Massage combines the tantric mindset and advanced energy work with physical full-body Ayurvedic and Taoist massage to provide the most thorough deep-dive in multi-level healing and rejuvenation.
