You're probably wondering how tantric massage can release sexual trauma. You may be thinking that tantric massage is kinky, maybe you have happy endings in mind. Yes, tantra is often loosely used in the sexual context, but it is also highly effective in helping people resolve sexual trauma. People that have experienced sexual abuse can be transformed with the help of this ancient massage technique.
Tantric massage is more than a massage experience, it embraces mindfulness, harnessing the power of caress and touch, while helping you remain in the now. As various parts of your body is touched, you connect with how you feel, allowing your stresses, anxiety, and worries to wash away, focusing on how you feel.
Where it proves useful, is that it brings you to the present moment, wiping any thoughts from your mind, helping you to get in touch with the real you. As you become more comfortable, the outside world is left behind, as you focus on your breathing, and the gentle caress and strokes of the masseuse. It offers relaxation and helps release any tension build up, while connecting with your own body.
Did you know that tantra means “energy expansion?” Tantra is a meditation practice that uses breathing to relax the mind, body, and soul.
It's not uncommon after experiencing sexual trauma for your body to not respond to tantric massage at all. Maybe you feel numb. Right at the beginning of your session, you have an open discussion with your masseuse where you lay down the ground rules, making clear boundaries on what you are comfortable with. Once you have done this you will feel more comfortable, more at ease, allowing yourself to enjoy the experience, breaking down any boundaries, while enjoying a sense of safety. Once you relax, you can start healing, washing away any sexual trauma you experienced in the past.
As you focus on the connection you start building with your masseuse, you will start feeling the energy ebbing through your body, liberating and energising you. This may be scary at first. We recommend you clear your mind, focus on how you are feeling and how your body feels, pushing any concerns to the back of your mind. This is your body talking to you, awakening, and giving you permission to break down the boundaries that are inhibiting sexual release.
You may not believe that tantra can help resolve sexual trauma, but we can assure you that many of our clients have found release, breaking down barriers and pushing trauma to the back of their minds as they get to know their bodies again, learn how to be mindful and how to enjoy the moment.
