Tantra Massage as -
"The Path To Enlightenment"

The concept of Tantra massage is greatly misunderstood by many people.

Generally thought of as something mysterious from the east. Popular culture tends to ignore the origins of Tantra, the symbolisms and significances attributed to the God and Goddess ideals typically represented by Buddha and Tara. While Buddha is reasonable well known in the West, Tara is not as widely recognized despite being arguably the most popular goddess in the Buddhist pantheon.

Tara is a female Buddha and a meditational deity, and the fact that she embodies the female role within Tantra massage practice should help us to realize the objectives and ideal of Tantra to be meditational rather than purely physical in nature. The act of Tantra massage is about a spiritual bonding between two spiritually aware beings, epitomized by Buddha and Tara.

Tantra rituals, including Tantra massage, are largely derived from ancient books and writings that relate a dialogue between a Hindu god named Shiva and his female consort Shakti. Tantra students should have an understanding of the basis of Tantra, and understand the fact that Tantra can unlock psychic power reserves we are born with. The essential part of this understanding is that we have the ability to offer this reserve as a gift to others, and it should not be used irresponsibly for personal gain.

Despite this the popular view of Tantra massage in the west is focused on it’s sexual nature, and how to improve sexual performance and experience. Followers of Tantra accept this as a valid interpretation, as if this is what the participants of Tantra Massage need to evolve spiritually then the purpose of the Tantra massage is met. Seeking a Tantra experience for physical gratification is selling the experience short however.

Since the 1960’s, the transformation of society has allowed a new type of healer to emerge. Those who understand Tantra massage have a deep understanding of humanity, human nature and our natural motivations and desires. Through a holistic approach to health they are able to use Tantra massage to help deepen the understanding of all aspects of life. This form of healing through Tantra massage can greatly assist us with our spiritual journey through life. Fully embracing the benefits of Tantra massage is really about seeking out who you are, and developing a deeper understanding of ourselves.

It is difficult to describe something as deep as Tantra massage in words, and the attempts to do so is what has led to many of the misconceptions surrounding it. However words can help us achieve a greater understanding about the process. Tantra is part of a rich spiritual tradition, and includes life lessons incorporating the entire life cycle, including all of life and death, and emphasizes the ability to live life joyfully.

Like all forms of massage, Tantra massage requires two people - a giver and a receiver. The receiver must remain passive throughout, and the masseur will masterfully bring them to a heightened level of sensitivity right before orgasm. The experience of Tantra massage is encapsulated by bringing your partner slowly to this level, and holding them there for as long as possible. The orgasm itself is considered a very trivial part of the experience, and even an anti climax, as it signals the end of being elevated to a greater level of awareness.

When performed well Tantra massage is a beautiful celebration of all aspects of our humanity and represents the bliss of being able to accept the heightened state of arousal. Between massage partners it is often a very personal experience that can form a deep and lasting bond, or strengthen an existing relationship. Between strangers it is a joyful experience of laying oneself completely open and trusting in the humanity and spirituality of the partner. Regardless of who is involved, the proponents of Tantra massage will have an increased awareness of themselves, their desires and motivations.

Tantra massage can also be a way of dealing with frustrations and uncertainties, and leads to higher levels of self esteem in everyday life. This increased ability to accept yourself as a sexual being, and embrace that fact, is perhaps the greatest gift of Tantra massage in a society where taboos often restrict the true expressions of our feelings and desires. With Tantra massage you can truly gain understanding and acceptance of yourself, your life, the world and your place in it.
