Taoist Sexual Massage

Another new service that will be provided soon will be Taoist Sexual Massage. I attended a workshop on this unique massage therapy a while back. More recently I came across a book on this subject (written by Russell and Kolb)- this is an easy to follow guide to the Taoist system of sexual massage, it will help to free your erotic enegies as well as release your creative power. This is not a new technique, nor is it an exclusive teaching, this is available to anyone who wishes to research and learn.

I am currently re-reading the book, and busy compiling a manual based on this book and other teachings. As soon as it is done I will create a blog for this and begin this healing as part of the therapies at Shakti Gardens.

This massage can be taught as part of a couples workshop, or can be offered as part of sensual healing. It involves a full body massage, incorporating energy work and some lymphatic drainage. I would make use of crystals and gemstones to enhance awakening of the Chakras. The first part of this treatment will focus on breathwork, awakening and stirring of sensual energies through the whole body. Only then will the actual physical healing of the body take place. Later, some work is done around the pelvic area, and the healer will need to place the palm of his right hand to rest on the Yoni - this is to stir and awaken the base Chakra. After this the healer will harmonize the whole body in flowing movements to intergrate, harmonize and intensify the energies. Finally gently finishing off with a caring facial and scalp massage to bring the receiver back to a normal state of conciousness. Allowing the receiver to feel totally harmonized, grounded, refreshed and regenerated.

New Courses

If there is anyone who would like to attend a Thai massage training course with me, starting Tuesday 2nd October, please contact me on 082-961-5454. There is a special "Two for One" offer if 2 people attend together.

Secondly, I will need the services of a volunteer. No this is not as bad as it sounds, there is no work involved, what will happen is that you will experience and enjoy 2 days of sheer bliss and pleasure. All you have to do is volunteer your body while I learn and practice Kahuna massage, Meridian balancing and Lymphatic drainage. This is a 2 or 3 day course that will involve full body work. So if you have 2 days to spare and wish to be pampered, then call me on 082-961-5454

Exciting events to attend

There will be some exciting new events happening in the next few weeks.

For the first time in South Africa we will have SEXPO, to be hosted at Gallagher Estate, this will be happening Thursday 27th Sept through to Saturday 29th September.

Check out their website: www.sexpo.co.za for more details

Then for a bit of fun you can attend the "Dare to Wear" ball, Saturday 29th September. Dare to Wear in association with Sexpo S.A. and Lola Montez welcomes you to South Africa’s first Fantasy Erotic Ball where you will be given an opportunity to dress up and play in a safe and trendy environment. This is will be the party of the year, and whilst fetish plays an important part in the Dare to Wear experience and the dress code, the Ball is not a fetish event, but instead aims to be a broader and more accessible sensual experience.

For the ladies who wish to explore more spiritual boundaries, The Goddess Temple will be hosting an International Goddess Conference 19-23 March 2008 in Franschhoek, celebrating the Harvest Moon Festival and the Mother Goddess. This is intended as a weekend for the empowerment, nurturing and sacred self-care for women, interested in feminine spirituality and personal freedom.
