Tantra Massage: An Ancient Hindu Form of Connecting with a Partner
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007 Subscribe To Our Feed
There are sites on the Internet that claim that Tantra massage is a sexually charged meditation experience that helps you to connect with a partner. It is different from massage therapy in that it is an art and meditative experience that a Tantra couple undergoes to build trust and intimacy. Each partner is both a giver and receiver and all of the benefits of the Tantra massage, and the process is meant to be taken in the spirit of love as well as worship.
Giving up the Ego is Central to This Form of Massage
How much of these claims one believes depends on individual mindset as well as on whether one has actually tried out Tantra massage. In any event, the techniques will undoubtedly lead to a better emotional and healthy being, because it will clear up any blocks in the ‘chakras’. The ego must be surrendered, and the participants need to be focused on the moment at hand, where the couple may even worship rituals of the Lord Shiva and the goddess Yoni.
Tantra massage that involves use of fragrant oils will enable the couple to make love without actually having intercourse. It can be achieved through the breath or by becoming free of the urge through gratitude and awareness to the other. This form of massage is one in which the participants need to forfeit ego and be ready to surrender completely and trustingly in each other while showing them love and honor. It is an expression of worship in which the participants are gods and goddesses who should be worthy of giving and receiving worship.
How is Tantra Massage Similar to other Techniques?
Tantra massage may also require using certain products that titillate the senses and create the meditation of love. However one characteristic that this technique does have in common with other massage techniques is touch, which is used to express emotions such as anger and tenderness. Touch also helps to evoke energy from the body. As with other forms of massage, touch is the conveyor of healing and excitement, and it is considered in Tantra massage as a means of building trust and evoking power. It promotes a daily practice of reverence and honor which is built layer by layer. It is a means to worship the divine and should be achieved through deliberate, attentive and loving touch.
