Firstly
what is Tantra? In our westernised society
we have focussed mainly on the sexual aspect
of Tantra, but it is more than this, it is
a journey of which sex is just a small part
of this exciting path. Tantra teaches us
to embrace life and its pleasures, to encompass
all forms of beauty, sensitivity, ecstacy
and excitement, by any means such as eating,
drinking, to experience bodily pleasures
such as massage, or by utilizing movement
and dance. It celebrates all known pleasures
and also quiet meditative reflection.
This is not a belief system,
nor is it a faith or church, but a way of
enjoying life, embracing the dance of life.
Following this path will help you come to
terms with yourself, your needs and your
desires, it will open up a deeper understanding
of your partner. All that we have mentioned
so far are celebrated rather than repressed.
Through experiencing and delighting in the
pleasures of the body, the body becomes a
temple in which you experience the sacred,
and thus it becomes a doorway to a spiritual
evolution.
Tantra teaches that everything
is connected, and interwoven, we are just
a small part of this universal reality, and
we all need to embrace our new experiences,
as well as different practices, and thus,
this will enable us to grow spiritually,
and our aim is to achieve an experience with
the Divine. Our sex, our sexuality and sensuality
are all gifts from God. The sexual act is
a reminder of our unity in the Divine, we
need to embrace this with mind, body
and spirit.
A loose definition of the
Sanskrit word "Tantra" is "web",
or a union of opposites. Sanskrit is the
sacred language of Hinduism. The root word "tan" can
be translated as such: "to extend, expand,
spread, continue, spin out, weave; to put
forth, show or manifest". Tantric practice
unifies the many contradictory aspects of
the self, the masculine and feminine, spirit
and matter, dark and light into a harmonious
whole.
Some of us have experienced
moments in love where boundaries dissolve,
all worldly things around us disappear
and we become one one and all of
existence, and unity with the Divine!
For too long in the West
we have repressed sexual desire and intimacy,
and only recently have we begun
to tap into ancient teachings such as
Tantra to help us break the mould
and step forth bravely to encounter
pleasures and a taste of the Divine.
Sexual energy is the source of
life according to some older cultures, and
they taught very sophisticated lovemaking
skills.
And it is with knowledge
and respect for Tantra that we at Shakti
Gardens wish to take you on a journey of
self-healing, and exploration,
as you develop a new understanding
of your sexuality and as you embrace
life and its pleasures. We wish
to create a deepening connection
and intimacy between two loving
beings and a way of exploring natural
altered states such as Expanded
Full Body Orgasms!.
Tantric Sensual Healing Massage Many
people
are
negatively
affected
by
modern
stress
in
numerous
different
ways,
one
of
the
most
common
problems
is
a
lack
of
libido
(which
is
also
caused
by
being "on
the
pill" for
too
long).
By
utilizing
various
healing
modalities,
libido
can
be
restored,
sometimes
within
the
first
session.
Using
a
combination
of
Tantric
Healing
Massage
along
with
Swedish
Massage,
Crystal
Grids
and
Chakra
Balancing,
Don
has
developed
a
technique
which
will
bring
about
harmony
to
mind,
body
and
spirit,
and
allow
the
natural
flow
of
sensual
energies
within
the
body.
This
creates
a
new
awareness
and
experience
for
the
client,
making
them
more
aware
of
their
needs
and
desires,
awakening
them
to
a
new
energy
shift
and
healing.
There
is
some
gentle
stimulation
on
the
Base
Chakra,
the
lower
belly
and
on
the
coccyx.
Clients
are
also
encouraged
to
focus
on
meditation,
visualization
and
breath-work,
so
that
they
can
stimulate
a
deeper
and
stronger
flow
of
energy
within
themselves,
to
assist
in
the
healing
process
of
reclaiming
their
sensuality.
This
healing
modality
takes
longer
than the
usual
90minutes
and
clients
must
be
prepared
to
receive
healing
that
could
take
up
to
2
hours.
Some
prefer
to
start
their
healing
process
with
this
treatment
before
embarking
on
the
