If you have never heard of it before, let us guide you through its mystery. Tantra is not just an ordinary massage. It is something much more. It will convince you that everything can be experienced differently – more intensely. It is a massage that moves you into another dimension.
Experiencing it firsthand was not supposed to be the subject of this article. Yet while studying all the materials and background on tantric massage, I couldn’t resist and decided to go for a ninety-minute session (which is usually the minimum duration). Not with the intention of writing about it, but because I wanted to understand what makes it so special and why everyone praises it so much…
Not all massages are the same
Massage is one of the most pleasant and natural forms of physical contact between people. It has the ability to relax us, calm us down, and release accumulated tension and stress from the entire working week. After a good massage, we feel reborn. However, today’s fast-paced lifestyle doesn’t favor quality massages. On a typical salon price list, you’ll find the body divided into back and neck, legs, and arms – each with a separate price and time limit. Yet our body is one whole, and if we are to truly relax, we need more time and the engagement of the entire body. The approach of the tantric masseur or masseuse is also essential. According to tantric teachings on energy, the feelings of the giver are transmitted to the receiver – meaning that the masseur shares not only their touch but also their inner attitude. The tantric approach is based on full acceptance of the person as they are. In tantra, every man and woman is perceived as a unique being, an embodiment of the god Shiva or the goddess Shakti. A person is perfect exactly as they are. Tantra welcomes everything that happens in the present moment and does not push for anything. It lets things simply flow – and that’s when space opens up for new experiences and sensations.
Bliss throughout the body
There are many techniques of tantric massage. Some are based purely on tantra, others on Taoist tradition, and some seek to combine different elements and approaches. Everything depends on the personality of the masseur, their experience, and worldview. Tantra is a gentle and sensual ritual that activates energy and fills the whole body with excitement and tenderness. Loving and healing touches help bring a sense of completeness, wholeness, and loving acceptance of one’s body and pleasure. A tantric massage includes the massage of yoni and lingam, different types of touch – from very soft to dynamic – as well as head and ear massage, warm towel rituals, and the use of special aromatherapeutic essences, scents, and natural nourishing oils. All this takes place to the sound of relaxing music. Thanks to tantric massage, one can experience a so-called full-body orgasm. But be careful – this has nothing to do with an erotic massage. Such an approach has no place in tantra!
Working with energy
Tantric massage also involves conscious work with energy. According to tantric teachings, the human body has seven main energy centers – chakras. These correspond to different levels of our life, from instinctive sexuality to deeply spiritual dimensions. During a tantric massage, sexuality, heart, and spirituality are connected so that sexuality is not experienced separately (only in the genitals) but is felt through the heart and spirit as well. Only then can we experience true wholeness. Energy work includes body therapy techniques, conscious breathing, and intention. The masseur guides this process, but some techniques can also be learned by the receiver to deepen their experience even more.
It can even heal infertility
Tantra teaches us to relax into what is. To play, explore, and enjoy our own body as well as our partner’s. Tantric massage helps release the entire pelvic area, activate energy and life force – both essential for conception. The pelvis must be full, alive, radiant, and charged. The same applies to the breasts, which later nourish the child with milk and warmth. In tantric massage, we use not only a sensitive and loving approach but also elements that work on a physical level – bioenergetic practices and pelvic floor stimulation. The whole body gradually reconnects and revives. Tantric massage positively influences the production of dopamine and serotonin (the “happiness hormones”), and waves of arousal and relaxation spread throughout the entire body.
Firsthand experience
What I experienced during the tantric massage kept me feeling wonderful for the next fourteen days. I felt absolutely amazing, and suddenly all my problems seemed solvable. I simply felt great – and I already know that I’ll definitely go for another one soon.
