During the Prana Flow Tantra Massage, I will massage you using a variety of conscious touches and rhythmic movements. The pressure may vary from firm to gentle and the pace will shift between fast and slow.
Prana Flow Massage is a tantric massage. According to the tradition of Tibetan Tantra, it stimulates the flow of prana or life energy throughout the body. Through conditioning and trauma disbalance can form in the body. Massaging encourages a deep state of relaxation and can help to release blockages, promoting a sense of overall balance and inner peace.
What Tantra Means to me:
For me tantra is also a fundamentally life-affirming path and I bring this view into my massages, too. Classical non-dual tantra teaches us, how we can be more aware and present in our daily life. How can we be more conscious and fully acknowledge everything, that there is now? How can we look with astonishment at the miracle of life, that is unfolding in front of us in any moment in so many different forms? Realizing, that everything is interconnected and that we are part of one single, unified reality. How can we get out of our heads more and feel and be more?
In ancient India, tantra was not the path of the monk sitting in silence detached from everyone else, but the path of the householder, who integrated spirituality into the normal everyday life, while being part of society. This idea resonates with me.
The 4 pillars of My PRana Flow Massage:
My view on tantra comes back in the four pillars on which I’m building my massages:
- Trust: Together we are creating a safe space where we both feel secure and respected. Consent and good communication play a very important role in this. Before the massage we will have a talk and you can ask any question, that you have. We will make sure, that it is all clear and we are on one line.
- Goallessness: We are letting go of specific outcomes or expectations, allowing the experience to unfold naturally. Any thoughts, feelings, emotions and physical reactions are welcome.
- Surrender: You are encouraged to fully immerse in the moment and surrender. I will be present for you. I can only give, if you are open to receive.
- Equality: We are honoring the equal exchange of energy and respect between us.
While a Prana Flow Tantra massage can feel intimate, it is not an erotic massage and there will be no sexual acts of any kind.
