Tantric or tantra massage is an ancient healing art that uses sensual touching and sexual energy to awaken the body’s energy field and achieve a higher state of consciousness. Tantra, which stems from the Sankrist root “tan,” means to manifest, expand, or put forth. Tantra massage aims to awaken and expand dormant Kundalini – a mythical energy that rests at the base of the spine – and spread it along the spine to promote healing. This same energy is said to unite lovers in a rapturous experience and release trapped mental and physical pain.
Tantra massages are very intimate and emotional, with sexual arousal a major impact. Yet tantric massage has many other benefits as well, including:
- Deep relaxation
- Pain relief
- Alleviation of emotional fear and guilt
- Heightened sense of personal empowerment
- Sense of fulfillment
- Stimulation of one’s innate sensual spirituality
