TANTRIC HEALING

TANTRIC HEALING

The age old Asian philosophy of tantra encourages openness, and focus on YOU.

Various things can bring emotions to the surface. Emotions are no more than blocked energy in the body.

The pendulum effect is known by many, the swings from the positive to the negative and back, good days and bad days, joy and depression. Tantra aims to even the flow, to reduce the pendulum effect making more of an even flow, like natures passage of the tides.

Open the heart chakra and let it flow. Let what flow? Energies and emotions. Many emotions are trapped in the heart chakra. Many are in the lower chakras, blockages caused by repressions and fears, childhood experiences and guilt, often including sexuality. Energies should flow freely around the whole body, but blockages prevent this.

It is time to release old negative emotional patterns.

Tantra healing can be for one person, or shared by a couple.

Start with breathing. Breathe energy into the heart chakra. Open the heart to the pureness of love energy. Be conscious of the energy flow. As each emotion surfaces, work through it, with your tantra facilitator or partner. As the energy rises, keep breathing it in and let it flow to the base chakra.

Share breathing; sit facing each other and breathe together, then one breathes in while the other breathes out. Talk about the feelings and emotions. You partner needs to be receptive. This is your space and time. Feel and tap into your own energy field. Connect and flow as one. This is a safe loving environment to let go and to be healed.

Feel the energy and tap into your own energy centre. Connect and flow as one. Open your energy centre to flow energies evenly back and forth with your partner.

Feel, don’t think. Let go the old, unwanted emotions. They are not needed. They are baggage. Lighten the load.

Avoid taking on the emotions of the partner. Each person needs to feel and deal with their own emotions, to sort them out and to grow as a result. Emotions can be picked up from your partner. Ask yourself “is this emotion mine?”

Where there are sexual blockages (most people have them), usually at the sacral chakra, the tantra facilitator can address this with specific bodywork and breathing. That will be the subject of another article.
