Tantric massage is a unique type of sensual massage that combines physical and energetic approaches to help create an overall sense of well-being. It's often referred to as an “intimate dance,” as it combines slow, deep bodywork with sensual touch. Though it's often confused with traditional massage, tantric massage is a much more spiritual experience. It's designed to awaken and enhance the body's own energy, allowing for deeper relaxation and connection.

Tantric massage focuses on the connection between two people. It is a shared experience that allows you to get in touch with your own inner being. It involves the use of touch, breathing, and intention to increase awareness, connection, and pleasure. Its goal is to help you discover more about who you are both physically and mentally as well as be a way to bring two people together.

The spiritual aspect of tantric massage

The spiritual aspect of tantric massage is an important part of the experience, but it can also be the most confusing. This is because there is no right or wrong way to practice tantric massage. It is very individual and open to the desires and needs of the people involved in the massage. This is what makes it so special and why it is an effective tool for exploring the depths of our inner being. Tantric massage is a practice that helps to focus the mind and create a space for self-reflection. It encourages you to let go of any distractions and open your mind to new thoughts and feelings. It can be a way to clear out any negativity that is holding you back from living your best life. It can be especially helpful if you are going through a difficult time and need a way to let go of some of the stress and negativity that you may be feeling.

What Happens During a Tantric Massage Session?

It is difficult to describe a Tantric massage session without giving away the delightful surprises that await you.

The Tantric massage is all about connection and intimacy, so there's the soul-gazing ritual, where you spend a few minutes gazing into each other's eyes and creating connection with your masseur.

A typical tantric massage session incorporates breathing rituals, visualizations, sensual touching, holding, and body-to-body massage. Your masseur will follow subtle cues from your body reactions to heighten your pleasure.

Then, there's the undressing ritual, where your masseur will blindfold you and very slowly and sensually undress you, awakening your skin with a touch here and a brush of skin there. This is designed to arouse your senses before the massage begins.

During a tantric massage session, your masseur may begin with a full-body massage, incorporating sensual body treatment using oils, lotions, and other aromatic substances.

The massage ends with a period of meditation or “sitting still” together, with the lights dimmed and the room quiet. The tantric massage session may be followed by a bath or shower together, after which the massage partners lie down in the dark and remain still for about 15 minutes. This period of stillness allows the sex hormones (adrenaline and dopamine) to flow out of the body, followed by oxytocin, a hormone that creates feelings of trust, empathy, and connection. This can be a very powerful experience for many people.

The Role of the Tantric Masseur

It’s important to note that a tantric massage session is a “sacred journey” between two consenting adults, so the role of the massage practitioner is not medical in any sense. The practitioner is more of a “guide” who helps the client navigate the session, focusing on the senses and the body’s energy. The practitioner holds space for the client to relax and allows the client to explore his own sensations and feelings.

What to Expect During a Tantric Massage

During a session, you should experience a state of deep relaxation and heightened awareness. You may feel so relaxed that you either fall asleep or almost fall asleep, or you may feel so aroused that you’re highly alert. Some people experience both states at once. You may become intensely aware of your own body and of your masseur's body, and of your surroundings. You may be able to feel the energy of your partner’s hands on your body. You may also experience deep and intense emotions. Tantric massage is not a sexual encounter. Rather, it’s an intimate experience that can be profoundly transformative.

Closing the Session

Tantric massage is not a quickie! It is not a sexual encounter! It is not a traditional massage! The tantric massage is a sacred journey between two people who want to go deeper with each other and connect on a very profound level. You don’t have to be “in love” with your partner, but you do need to feel connected to each other on a deep level. This takes time to develop and cannot be rushed.

Conclusion

Tantric massage is an ancient practice that can be used to help heal trauma and promote connection in both romantic relationships and friendships. It involves a slow, sensual massage that uses both the hands and body to promote relaxation while awakening the senses through touch, sound and sensation. Whether you want to try it as a couple or with friends, tantric massage can help you explore new ways of connecting with others, while enhancing your own sense of self.
