Tantric massage is a practice which has existed for over 5000 years, originating in India. It is differentiated from traditional massages by going beyond just touching, to channelling the energy of the person who is receiving the massage.
This type of practice specialises in the breaking down of emotional, physical, mental, sexual and even psycho-somatic barriers.
The objective of this type of massage isn’t the relaxation of muscles or the alleviation of bodily tensions; it is intended to excite the senses of the whole body, promoting a new understanding of pleasure.
Although popularly known for its erotic nature, tantric massage is not merely about sexual stimulation, but is a form of therapy which enables the overcoming of boundaries, inhibitions and traumas.
What is Tantric Massage?
Just as a psychologist assists a person in the psychological self-discovery, tantric massage therapists help with bodily self-discovery, stimulating emotions and senses which are repressed or unknown.
To reap the benefits of a tantric massage, forget your watch; on average a session lasts between 1-2 hours.
In your massage site you will find a massage table. The environment will have a intimate and comfortable environment with suitable lighting. Scents, candles and incense will also help set the scene for your massage. Relaxing music at a low volume is also available as this can help make the space more tranquil.
In a tantric massage, touch is the single main stimulation. The elements mentioned above serve only to help create an intimate atmosphere to help the customer feel comfortable.
During the massage aside from bodily oils which are used to smooth and ease the movements across the body, feathers and scarves can also be used to explore touch sensations.
Benefits of tantric massage
Tantric massage offers numerous benefits such as:
– Alleviation of stress;
– Aiding insomnia;
– Helping with psychological and emotional blockages;
– Improve sexual stamina.
Another major benefit offered by tantric massage is its ability to help a person deal with problems of body acceptance which can often impede physical and psychological pleasure.
People struggling with physical contact with their own body following sexual violence, men with erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation and women who have experienced vaginal trauma in giving birth can all benefit from this type of massage. Tantric massage is a gateway to understanding pleasure beyond the genital areas.
Tantric massage also helps with mental disturbances such as depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. This happens due to techniques used during the massage which break down blockages, activating intense pleasures and liberating the so-called “happiness hormones” (endorphins, serotonin and oxytocin).
People who undergo tantric massage are guaranteed not to leave the session as they were before, having undergone techniques which stimulate self-confidence, happiness and self-love.
