Full House massage? Happy endings?

Namaste
Often we get these requests from gents - seeking either "Full House" services or "Happy Ending" massage.

We do have a new female practitioner (Blyss) who will offer very sensual healing work, as well as focus on your energy shifts. She sees herself as a sacred sex therapist offering more than what is usually offered in other venues. She sees herself  as having a past life where she worked in ancient temples offering inspiration through sensual healing work, where she would guide men into Worship through sacred sex practices.

Yes there is a fine line between escorts offering "hand jobs" to bring relief or create the sense of a happy ending and what will be offered by Blyss. Blyss will care for your spiritual and physical needs dealing with the body mind and spirit, working with your energies and breathing techniques to create a deeper senses of awareness and more intense orgasms.

Blyss will be available certain weekdays from 10am till 5pm

Sensual or erotic massage for males?

Namaste
Sometimes there is a fine line between sensual healing work and erotic massage. For some when we do deeper Tantric healing and energy work, awakening the libido and possibly Lingam massage - it might seem like erotic massage.

I think the difference between the two occurs when a Tantra practitioner focuses on mind body spirit to enhance energy flow and awareness to create that sense of Sensual Healing Massage. A healing session like this can take 90min or more, it is done with respect, with spiritual integrity and honoring. Yet with erotic massage, the masseuse will usually offer a quick back rub, a tummy tickle and then her focus is purely to assist the male in having an orgasm. These sessions take approximately 20-30min and cater purely to the sexual primal needs of the client.

Sometimes it might be necessary for a regular client to experience not just sacred sensual healing but to allow himself to feel his primal nature and urges as part of of his healing journey.

We currently have Skye who offers sacred sensual healing and energy work to our male clients, so also works with female clients who wish to experience similar therapy. Her approach is to honor the client as a spiritual and sexual being, to enhance their energy flow and awareness through touch and energy shifts and a slow sensual massage experience.

Soon we will have Blyss join us to offer different massage techniques, and services, to cater for those whose needs are more primal and thus desire to experience a somewhat more erotic massage.

Blyss is also a Pro sub and is prepared to offer these services to help teach others understand the nuances of submission within the realm of sensual massage. We will be able to provide sessions for 2 or more males at once with Blyss. 

Blyss will only be available certain weekdays from 9am till approx 4pm

Please note that we do work by appointment

Also all calls are answered and screened by Don who will then put you in touch with either Skye or Blyss

Tantra and embracing Touch - Energy - Breath

Namaste
Soon we will be hosting workshops again focusing on the Essence Of Tantra.

It is important to connect to basics, to understand the core and essence of what we trying to achieve through wellness and understanding of our inner being to bring about balance through mind body and spirit.

In our work we are very aware that we are spiritual beings, we are also sexual beings and energetic beings. These components work together hand in hand to bring balance and to give us deeper awareness of who we are and what we are. The only do we begin to feel more and understand more.

One area that has been acutely missing in our live is touch - the ability to hug another the ability to actually feel sensation when a beloved touches our skin or holds our hand - to feel that energetic connection and embrace it without guilt or fear.

In or Politically Correct world  we have become oversensitive to many things - you cannot even compliment a fellow staff member on a new outfit - it is considered sexual harassment - where are the days of chivalry and being able to appreciate another and offer genuine compliments - it has nothing to do with sexual advances. You have to be acutely aware how you address another or speak to them - always keeping your distance. When last did you see a parent hug their child and say "you did well at school I am proud of you" - it has become rare because parents now fear they will be reported for inappropriate behaviour with a child - the world has gone mad. We are seeing a huge disconnect in families and with friends as electronic social media invades our lives and controls it. We are constantly exposed, constantly "chatting" or "communicating", but we are unable to do it face to face.

It is time to reconnect!

It is time to feel your energy!

It is time to breathe with others in a safe space, a place where you can share energy, where you can meditate. And where you can embrace feelings and sensations as you move or dance together where you can actually hold hands without being judged.

Our workshops are going to focus on energy, touch and breathing. Respecting another person, being able to be close to them. We will offer this as clothing optional workshop, we might push boundaries with Lingam and Yoni meditation, we will be made aware that our bodies are sacred, yet we are free to sense energy shifts, then sense of touch.

We provide a safe  sacred space where we can explore the ethical teachings of Tantra and how it can be a blessing to heal us of some elements of the modern world that invades and pollutes us. Not all is bad from the world we live in, we just need to take control and use what is good even if it means reducing time spent with social media.

We are going to teach that TANTRA IS BEYOND SEX it is a sweet aroma to the senses, it is delicate and it stirs and awakens gently, and it inspires us so we begin to live again.

TANTRA - Beyond Sex

Namaste
Blessings to all who read these posts 

For some time now a few friends and I have been discussing Tantra, different healing modalities, and what is been taught and practiced right now.

What we have seen and observed over the last few years, is that a trend has developed with certain Tantra practitioners to focus purely on the sexual aspect - with no thought nor attention given to energy healing, breathing techniques, inner awareness. For them it is about the genitals and orgasm!

This work is sacred, our beloved clients are sacred and some are very fragile due to circumstances in their lives - we have no right to take advantage of that.

We have seen some unethical practitioners who host workshops yet claim the workshop and teaching has evolved through their own research and is uniquely theirs..... yet..... it was plagiarized from other teachers and books.

We have heard of healers saying that the only means to healing is to pre-book at least 6 sessions (at an exorbitant cost) and then after last session the client will be "magically" healed. Not even a medical doctor will make such absurd claims and demand you come back at least 5 or 6 times to be healed. Each one of us receives healing differently and at different speed, each one of us interprets healing differently and embraces it in our OWN TIME! Healing is a personal journey.

We have seen possible future practitioners attend an introductory talks on Tantra and now, overnight they claim to be a "Dakini". A similar trend developed a few years back where Introductory Talks were offered on Reiki and immediately after Reiki talk attendees where then attuned to become Reiki Masters - this title was given even though these attendees had done now practical work had no experience at all.

How amazing it would be if some students attended an Introductory Talk to medical science so they could become doctors!

Even escorts are now claiming to do Tantric Massage, and it is nothing more than a basic back rub, tummy tickle and then bring the client to orgasm by any means - hand or oral! And to add further insult on our beloved teachings - a "full body massage" with them takes 20 to 30minutes

This hurts the practice of Tantra. This undermines the core values and principles of Tantra

We need a governing body that recognises ethical practitioners and lists them thus offering a guide to others who seek genuine help and healing.

What has happened?
Are people so driven by greed and ego they lost the plot and lost the essence?
Is orgasm the only thing they have to offer those who seek help?


TANTRA IS BEYOND SEX

There needs to be a core group of ethical Tantra practitioners who monitor each other who are accountable to each other. People who heal with conscience, unconditional love, high morals, empathy, patience and understanding. 

We need to embrace the essence of true Tantric healing - focusing on the inner being, the energies, the acceptance and only then explore the sensual and sexual energies.

Only then does our sexuality make more sense, becomes more intense, more sweeter. 
Only then do we understand and we heal from within.

Female therapists and sensual massage for gents

Namaste
For a long time I have had one female therapist offering sensual massage for gents from our studio. I have had another assist me when couples come through to receive massage.

I have been considering expanding what we offer. My current female therapist does wonderful sensual healing massage and hot stone therapy, as well as Lingam Massage. But she is only available late afternoons and evenings during the week, and is also available on weekends.

I will have another female therapist join soon to offer massage during weekdays only. This will also be sensual healing massage and Lingam massage for gents.

Even though we do work by appointment, sometimes there is a break in our schedule and we can possibly accommodate another client between other sessions. 

So please call first to ensure there is availability - and please note that I will answer the phone and discuss our work or transfer you to the female therapist

If for some reason we cannot assist you due to being fully booked I will refer you to a good friend of mine who offers similar healing work and massage in Linden - she has been trained in Tantra as well and offers a wonderful caring therapy session

Be blessed
