What are valid concerns associated with Tantra?

Sadly we now live in a world where greed and corruption can become more important than authentic practice and unfortunately this applies especially to Tantra which is the most powerful and transformation therapy when practiced authentically and with the correct intention. Unfortunately, in our modern society sex sells and as a result in the western world greed and monetary gain can prioritise over authentic practice causing Tantra to often be misinterpreted . For this reason if you wish to experience an authentic Tantric experience I would suggest that you are very particular about who you choose to work with and choose an authentic therapist who is fully trained and experienced and if in doubt ask to see their qualifications.
In addition to this it is essential to understand that Tantra is represented and understood by the way it is practised . Every therapist may practice differently but the focus should always be on healing with a heart led touch and connection as opposed to sexual exploits and monetary gain and for this reason the attitude and intention of the therapist is essential. It is very easy to see who is authentic simply by the way they represent both themselves and their work and if in doubt ask!
What is their focus is it on short cheap thrills or is it to help encourage transformation within the mind and body on a long term basis ?
I get so many male clients that in their own words tell me it is a 'minefield out there ' and this is because the profession is not properly regulated. Tantra is my passion and joy because I have seen the difference it makes to other peoples lives when it is practised with the correct intention. Sadly, it can feel like a never ending battle for authentic practitioners because there are so many sex workers masquerading as 'Tantric Practitioners' which is infuriating too the genuine practitioners because it makes a complete mockery of the essential work we do to help others and brings a sense of shame to what is such a beautiful and pure healing modality. For this reason please research carefully before engaging to ensure your experience is authentic .

The 5 main types of massage movements and benefits

Image
There are a variety of different strokes used during a typical massage routine. This depends on the style of massage, the clients  requirements and how the therapist conducts her treatment.  When I am working on a client I personally like to use a variety of massage movements not only to enable the massage to be as effective as possible, but also so that I can tailor make the session to cater for each individuals needs as client satisfaction is extremely important to my practice. Below is a summary of the main massage movements used in swedish massage which is the most common style of massage practised,the reasons for each stroke and the benefits that are gained as a result. All the strokes are done in an upwards motion towards the heart. The strokes are described as I personally use them and in order for what I have found to be the most effective way of practicing but each therapist obviously has their own method of what works best for them and their treatment. ...

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others?

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others? Everyone one of us if we choose to be completely honest with ourselves have at some time in our life used defence mechanisms as a way of protecting ourselves from feelings which arise as a result of our ego feeling threatened in some way and coming under attack. Defence mechanisms are not something we can always consciously control, they can often be non voluntaristic but can often lead to what others may perceive as unpleasant behaviour leading to inevitable judgement if they are not recognised for what they are. A huge reason why I am so passionate about tantra is that it encourages people to remove the mask and be free to be who they really are and yet so many of us continue to wear these masks to enable us to continue feeling confident in our everyday lives. Unfortunately, we are often our own harshest critic and for most people situations that bring uncertainty into our lives can often trig...

Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2

  Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2 In a previous post I explored Dr Peter J. Adamo book “Eat right for your type” which suggested that following a diet specifically recommended for individual blood types diet could have a huge impact on health and wellbeing.   I decided to explore this issue of blood types further and uncovered other fascinating concepts that can be derived from blood type including the exercise recommended to allow the body to operate at an optimum level, personality characteristics and recommended careers which would be suitable. Some of the information stated below is taken directly from Dr Adamo’s book. Through my research I have shared below what I discovered about each of the blood types, of course as individuals this may differ from your own personal characteristics but perhaps see if you can relate in any way …In Japan blood type is particularly favoured in relating to compatibility in Love and jo...
