Tantra massage is not an impersonal or mechanical approach but a real and often deep meeting of two people full of sensitivity, respect and body attention as well as the soul of the receiver. Although there is a primarily set up framework each massage is a unique ritual between the giver and a receiver depending on their mutual energy. Considering both personalities, the client and a masseur or a masseuse, the form varies in detail; tantra principles and quality of massage procedure remain the same. There is a lot of space for intuition and following energy of the present moment which is an inseparable part of each tantra massage.
Ritual beginnings
Tantra massage begins with a ritual in a vertical position as an expression of respect towards the receiver and attunement to each other. You needn’t do anything at all; a masseur or a masseuse will take care of everything. You simply follow an awakening of your senses, your attention is sharpening and light waves are flowing through your body. At the moment you receive an embrace you find out that you stop thinking and only enjoy the feelings and touches. During the ritual, you are taken off your sarong probably without even noticing it consciously.
Massage, massage and massage
You don’t even notice and suddenly you are lying on a comfortable futon with your heart beating and feeling light as a feather. Then a massage relaxes you from tension and stress and through long moves and pleasant massage of head, feet, and trapezes. Then a masseur or a masseuse uses hot towels with essential oils to take you to deep relaxation and intense body sensations. The sensitized body is later massaged with furs, feathers, and soft objects so that excitement flows all through your body. The top of your sensual experience is an oil full body massage with hot oriental oil. Each part of the body is massaged so that gets relaxed and is spoilt to the limits of tolerance. Within tantra massage, you enjoy also hot lava stones that give you wildfire energy at the first chakra level and warm you up with a volcano heat from Hawaii. As you are lying down full of sensual feelings slowly a moment you cannot bear more is coming…
Intimate massage
Very slowly a masseur or a masseuse starts approaching your intimate parts. You find out there is no shame and the only think you desire is to feel her or his sensitive hands. You knew beforehand that a part of tantra massage is also an intimate massage of yoni or lingam but you could never imagine what it will be like. Energy is flowing from your genitals up the spine to your head and you are starting to feel what tantra means. You begin to recall what you heard about breathing at the beginning and focus on using the awakened energy. Hands of the giver are all over you. She helps you breathe and get energy all through your body, and as you take another breath she leads you further on towards yourself. You are not thinking if you are completely devoted or open; the energy between the two of you is almost material. There is no pressure or expectations. You slowly lose yourself in time and space and your body is full of energy that nurtures and heals you.
Final relaxation
As you are lying down on the futon with your eyes fully open you let the whole experience sink in. A masseur or a masseuse is here with you softly caressing you and leading the energy all over till it settles. You may need an embrace or hold your hand or talk about your experience. There is space for everything and everything is welcome. Then you can lie on your own to purify yourself. Hot water is flowing down your body and you are still wondering what really happened. But you feel fine and that’s what matters.
