Tantric Somatic Release
A somatic journey, releasing the mind through the body.
Some of the principles applied
​
​The mind and emotions are expressed in the body, they are not separate.
Events, thoughts, feelings or beliefs that we experience as strongly negative, undesirable or stressful, all the way to trauma (physical and emotional) cause the front body to contract. A curling inward, from the core as in the foetal position happens subtly or sometimes more obviously.
Fascia (connective tissue) research reveals deep intrinsic contraction of the front body, a natural response to overwhelm, is associated with structural, postural, sexual and emotional challenges.​
​
Naturally supporting the movement of sensual energy upward, through the heart and into the field, while maintaining a clear therapeutic boundary.
Subtle intrinsic contractions create changes in the connective tissue which can limit movement , flow of current, lymph and blood.
Contractions or residue from our unprocessed experiences, interactions, relationships, conflicts etc. inform our perception daily.​
The inner thighs, pelvis and belly, the diaphragm, rib cage throat and jaw or, deep core line, is an important kinetic line to affect for greater mental, emotional, and physical freedom.
​
Mostly these areas are avoided, and not given the opportunity to unravel.
‘Sharing that time with you was just the biggest epiphany. You set my soul free and rekindled my inner woman to run with the wolves once more.”
~ Amanda
Opening the front body benefits the mind, positively affecting perception, improving breathing, oxygen intake and often correcting problems that arise from poor movement of lymph, blood and current in the pelvic region.​ There can be too much energy or too little energy, and the quality and direction of energy are important too.
​
Subtle intrinsic relaxation allows a brainwave and vibratory quality that better aligns us with the heart and that aspect of us that is connected with universal wisdom, or our innermost.
Tantra says
If we were to completely relax into the experience of life, our most glorious nature could express.
How I work
Tantric Massage doesn’t come from Tantric or Vedic teachings as such, it's a combining of Eastern philosophy’s heart centred erotic science, with Western somatic approaches to psychology. It first emerged in Germany in the 70’s and since then there have been considerable expansions, variations, progressions and of course, regressions on the concept.
​
How I work is simple, my intention is to facilitate an integrative process that doesn’t shy of the body to work with it. Critical to what makes it so effective, and on so many levels is maintaining the important and delicate balance of appropriate energy exchange.
Impeccable boundaries which originate at the subtle aspects of being and are refined from years of experience are the foundation of success for lasting physical and soul level shifts.
Relaxing deeply enough to come to our centre and feel what we feel, even if its truly horrible, to allow the feeling to lose its charge.
​
Getting involved with the body, really leaning in to places and moving the tissue to free it.
Skillfully leaning into, kneading, massaging, pressing and shaking the tissue with clear intention, understanding and the ability to hold joy is a huge help to the receiver in releasing stuff that is just getting in the way.
​
Applying simple, effective methods to encourage somatic release, for clearer perspective and the natural ascension of sensual energies to balance, energize and renew the whole self, the breath being key.
​
I work comfortably, respectfully and maturely with the body, The process is neither erotic nor do I engage you sexually, rather I work deeply in around intimate areas where so much is held, thoroughly affecting the connective tissue and everything held there. Assisting the natural movement of beneficial energies into the system and toward the crown.
3 Session Shift
​
Release long held tensions and shift old patterns in 3 sessions as one complete process.
This is also the recommended number of bodywork sessions for a shift, no more and no less for about 6 months, at which point you may wish to renew your perspectives once again.
The entire body covered over three sessions, completing a deeply physical and deeply metaphysical process that is sincerely held in joy.
Each appointment should allow for up to 3 hours, the bodywork process is typically just under or just over two hours, getting settled in and integration time varies.
​
01st
​
Releasing physical, emotional and mental tension, very physically with the body and the breath, opening the spine and opening the way to go deeper. This session generally focuses on the feet, the crown and the back body.
​
02nd
​
This session is about the front body and the kinetic line known as the deep core line.
Leaning into the inner thighs, pelvis, psoas, belly, underarms and clavicles.
​
03rd
​
The last session of the three puts the whole body back together again, more fluidly now it's more pliable and receptive. focussing more on the shoulder girdle, neck, jaw and crown.
​
​
Releasing long held mental tension through the body.
​
Appointments arranged directly with me.
If you are not local to me, you may benefit like many others do from travelling to me and staying a few days.
​
​​​​​​​​​3 sessions, for when you're serious about a new perspective.
