Are there still secrets in our modern world, where everything can be found online with a simple click?
Bede Griffiths, a British monk who lived in India and became a yogi, said:
""""For me, the great discovery in India is the discovery of the sacred. In India, everything is sacred: the earth, food, water, and taking a bath are all sacred, a building is sacred.""""
What does this really mean?
In the West, we have lost this sense of sacredness. We are used to quick pleasures, but the issue with instant gratification is that it doesn’t last. One desire leads to another, and the satisfaction is temporary.
Sacredness means honoring a deeper part of ourselves, which leads to lasting peace, fulfillment, and true satisfaction—the experience of simply being, rather than constantly doing.
This is what we truly want, but society pressures us to compete, achieve, spend, and perform. These are the things we are taught to do, but no one teaches us to simply be and honor our inner essence. This should be simple, but in today’s world, it has become quite difficult.
This concept applies to all areas of life, but here we are focusing on tantric massage. Many clients arrive so stressed that they have trouble just lying on the table and relaxing.
Let’s explore some of the key elements involved.
According to Ayurveda, the human body has 72,000 nadis (subtle energy channels) and 107 marma points (neuro-muscular junctions). To truly relax, it’s not only important to release muscle tension but also to restore the flow of energy. This helps unblock energy pathways, making the person feel more alive and relaxed.
Massage styles with long strokes, like Abhyanga or Esalen-style massage, are effective because they treat the body as a whole, not just specific parts. A skilled masseuse can help the client experience their body as an organic whole, which includes the genitals and energy system.
Our minds are sensitive and affected by our surroundings and our thoughts. Clients come with various concerns—feeling guilty, nervous, or unsure about the experience. It’s important to greet them with acceptance and understanding. When the masseuse connects with the client, it helps the mind calm down naturally. We also teach basic meditation and deep breathing, which, combined with the peaceful energy in the room, helps to quiet the mind and encourage the flow of energy throughout the body.
Maintaining a peaceful atmosphere is important. It’s not just about keeping the space clean and beautiful or lighting candles; it’s about creating a positive energy in the room. Meditation, mantras, and a meditator’s energy can elevate the atmosphere, helping to lift the mind out of its usual thought patterns.
Some clients might find themselves lost in their own thoughts or fantasies during the massage, especially during the more sensual moments. We don’t discourage this, but we encourage clients to become observers of their own thoughts and sensations. This process helps them go deeper within themselves, dissolving thoughts and increasing bodily awareness. This is a natural form of meditation.
Some people in committed relationships feel guilty about receiving a sensual massage from someone who isn’t their partner. However, a tantric massage is different from a purely erotic massage. Even if the client is receiving the massage from a stranger, our skilled tantric masseuses are trained to guide them to a deeper experience, which they can later share with their partner at home.
Many clients come to us with the goal of preparing for a future relationship. The idea is not to stimulate the senses, but to guide the individual inward, helping them access deeper, more satisfying feelings. This can lead to a powerful, full-body experience.
It’s important to honor oneself and one’s partner. Seeing the partner as sacred and treating them with respect leads to a flowing connection where both people feel love and respect in their hearts. This creates a natural, meditative experience without specific goals. The focus is on being present in the moment and allowing sensations to unfold.
As the pressure to perform fades, it is replaced by a blissful feeling of connection. This leads to a more spontaneous and flexible relationship where there is no right or wrong way to be together. If something unexpected happens, such as a loss of sexual arousal, it’s not a problem. There are countless ways to connect and continue the experience.
These inner feelings can deepen and grow more fulfilling with time and practice, whether the individual receives a tantric massage or attends tantric lessons alone or with a partner. The key is to turn attention inward, instead of focusing on external experiences.
