Tantric Wisdom - Drop all masks

"Drop all masks. Be true.
Reveal your whole heart.
Be nude...
Whatsoever arises in your heart should remain transparent to
your beloved..."

Sharing Personal experiences & healing

It has been pointed out to me that we should include other Blogs from people who want to share their personal experiences and healing after visiting Shakti Gardens.

Please forward us your own story and journey of healing, your awakening to new pleasures, your new found wisdom. All e-mails and personal info will be kept confidential, names will be altered to protect identities.

So, if it was the first time you experienced Healing Massage combined with Hot Stone Therapy and Chakra Balancing, maybe Sensual Healing Massage or even perhaps Yoni Massage, tell others how this was beneficial, how it affected you, how it healed past repressive thoughts and patterns etc. Sharing plays a big part in our learning experience, and in our personal healing and growth. It helps us to come out of our shells and break boundaries. You might be helping others take that first step into a new journey of self awakening.

Sacred Yoni Massage

Yoni is a Sanskrit word for the vagina, and has different meanings such as Gateway to Pleasure, Sacred Space, Temple of Delight. In Tantric teachings the Yoni is respected and revered. Yoni Massage is a gentle healing process in which fears, past hurts and abuse can be addressed and healed. The Yoni holds past memories of hurt and shame, these can be embraced as part of a learning and growing process. These feelings of the past can then be transformed through the healing process of allowing the Yoni to receive pleasure and healing from someone else. It is part and parcel of Tantric Healing, and can be combined with Tantric Sensual Healing Massage or the Tantric Sexual Energy Massage.

After much bodywork has been completed, stress eliminated, and a sense of well-being created, only then is permission asked of the receiver before a Yoni Massage can be done. The receiver must want this, she must want to experience the healing power, the rejuvenation and cleansing of the past. It will allow her to understand her body more deeply, to feel wanted and desireable, to create a sense of being more confident, and to release new found hidden desires. It could also create an opportunity for her surrender into the bliss and experience of the Expanded Full Body Orgasm! This in turn will create a wonderful energy zone of an altered conscious state as she floats on the waves of this natural "high". An extremely strong energy shift and flow will possess her body and she will will be energized from her legs through to her Crown Chakra. Some speak of energy waves, or bodies tingling during and after this healing, some say friends and family speak of them "glowing", all of this can continue for many hours afterwards. Many women have embraced the gift of Multiple Orgasm, as well as the gift of the other three orgasmic pleasures, such as Clitoral, Vaginal, and G-spot orgasm. Yoni Massage is a deeply relaxing healing modality, it also transforms the receiver, she develops a deeper feeling of self worth, she becomes more sensual, she becomes more sexually confident and she embraces her sexuality with greater depth and understanding than before, as well as a sense of connecting to the Divine. It is a liberating sense of joyous freedom.

Tantric Sensual & Sexual Healing Massage

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, you are able to 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. After massaging the back, de-stressing and calming the receiver, as well as creating some form of harmony, we then proceed to do some gentle stimulation on the Base Chakra and around the pelvic area. Clients are also encouraged to focus on meditation, visualization and breath-work so that they can stimulate a deeper and stronger flow of energy themselves. This will assist them in the healing process of reclaiming their sensuality. Working on the front of the body, a lot of focus is placed once more on the Base Chakra and pelvic area. The upper (and inner) thighs are massaged, as well as around the Yoni and upward into the belly. 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 Tantric Sexual Energy Massage. As this is a full body massage, it is recommended that the client be unclothed when receiving this, and there should be no hindrances when the healing takes place.


Tantric Sexual Energy Massage

Tantric Sexual Energy Massage is the next step upward in the search for sexual and sensual wellness. This will take you into a deeper sexual and sensual healing when compared to the Tantric Sensual Healing Massage. The healing work is often done on the floor, so that clients can feel that they more connected to the earth's energies, and this helps to boost their own energy flow. To succesfully create a deeper shift of energies, a lot of focus is placed on the Base Chakra, as well as the Sacral and Heart Chakras. With the move of energies and the use of visualization combined with breathwork, the client will feel a strong awakening and arousal within the untapped depths of the body and spirit. It is recommended that the receiver then surrenders into the bliss of experiecing the Sacred Yoni Massage, this will address past hurts and fears, as well as begin a deep healing process and create a sense of liberation and freedom. Feelings of repressed sexuality, sexual desires, certain "Taboos", as well as inhibitions can be treated and healed through this modality. You will have a sense of being comforted while being healed, and a sense of deep caring respect. You will emerge with a new found confidence and understanding of yourself. You will feel more comfortable with your own sexuality and desires. We came into this life through a sexual act, and thus we need to embrace this, and then go on to celebrate our sexuality, through experiencing healing, as well as receiving bodily pleasures such as massage, arousal and tender embraces.

Tantra & Tantric Healing

Tantra & Tantric Healing

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, 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 our 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 with our loved one and all of existence, we then have 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, and according to some older cultures, they taught very sophistacted lovemaking skills, which we need to research, understand and practice today.

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 Wisdom - Shattering perceptions and expectations

Only when we shatter the glass of our perceptions and expectations,
can we melt and flow with other souls
to then form another vessel of experience for our own soul
