You may have wondered what is a Tantric Massage? Sensual massage also called an erotic massage is a wonderful way to play with your partner but it isn’t necessarily tantric. What makes a massage tantric really is the utilization of your breath, cultivating your partner’s sexual energy and being in the moment with your energy as well as with partner's. A tantric massage incorporates many different massage strokes to open and relax your lover’s body as well as light sensual touching.
In a tantric massage you want to pay attention to energy, yours and your partner's all the time. You want to let your fingers and hands and tongue, lips do the walking so to speak over your lovers body. You are always attuned to your partner's needs and breath. You coach them in opening and receiving pleasure and in cultivating the energy.
You begin with creating sacred space as you would in any love making session. Set the mood and choose the music. You may wish to have the oils in a spray bottle to spray over your lovers head or in a diffuser.
You may even wish to use specific essential oils that heighten your partner’s sexual energy as well as open and relax them. I find that YlangYlang, Frankincense and Lavender combined to Jasmine and Rose combined, are a few that I like to use. You can also experiment by reading up on essential oils and their properties to choose the ones you wish to use or use incense.
Then have your beloved lie on the table face down. Or, if you don’t have a table, a foam pad on the floor can work as well. Giving a massage on the bed can work if it is large enough and your partner is positioned so that you can reach them easily. I find that beds are not my first choice but you can do a very good massage if needed that way.
Tantric massage incorporates touching the genitals and doing a lingam or yoni massage, sometimes it also incorporates a prostate massage as well. Always start with a gentle soft touch, lightly stroking the entire body awakening all the nerve endings. You may wish to study a video to learn a few massage strokes, a few good ones to watch are Tantric Massage, Kenneth Ray Stubbs. The most important thing is to remember to breathe and ground your energy through your feet and coach your beloved to take deep breaths, breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth to release and let go of tension.
You will be helping your partner to breathe as they build their sexual energy and to circulate it throughout their body. The basic difference is that you are not necessarily bringing your partner to an orgasm, but rather helping them to recirculate their sexual energy through breathing and visualization.
A tantric massage can combine many aspects of tantra itself and since there is no set way to do this massage you can have fun and play around a bit with the things you like to do. I do suggest that you watch some good videos, or read some books, some of my favorites are: The Tao of Sexual Massage by Stephen Russell and Jurgen Kolb and Tantric Massage, the Touch of Love, by Kenneth R. Stubbs.
