Tantric Massage & Healing
The essence of a tantric massage is fairly simple. It is not about physical interaction, you and me or the erotic stimulation that comes with lust and desire. On the contrary, it is about the intense inner sensation, the surrender to touch without the urge for achievement. So you allow yourself to be touched with confidence and without purpose, without chasing or expectations. In this way, the duality between male and female energy is removed. This creates an equal unity from the heart and enables deep healing.
What does Tantric massage entail?
A Tantra massage is an interlocking series of healing touches in which each area of your body is brought to relaxation, with extra attention to the pelvic and abdominal areas. This massage is done with neutral massage oil. Exceptionally, the recipient may opt for a clothed massage and the tantrika will thus adjust the technique at his or her request. During the session, the sexual energy is activated to create total harmony of body and mind and without eroticism.
All this is to say that who you are or what you have done or happened to you is not at all important at that moment. The Tantric masseuse/masseur or Tantrika only channels the opposite in duality. Thus the inner process of harmonization can take place and prana can arise.

During a Tantric Massage, we harness sexual energy for prana, healing and insight. These transformations lead to inner freedom and loving relationships. Sexual energy, also called Kundalini, consists of polarized male and female energy that is converted into harmonized Prana energy during massage. Prana, as pure life energy, is directed by specific actions during massage, which has a healing effect on the body and mind.
This process brings insight, relaxation and release on a deeper level than the physical body. In short, it involves the sensation of the merging of consciousness and energy, known as the merging of Shiva and Shakti in Tantra. These three transformations are also found in Tantra Yoga and Meditation.
The greater the mental surrender during a Tantra massage, the more intense the sensation. This process is known as Metta-ji Tantra healing, which means loving touch from the heart. Giver and receiver must move beyond desire, lust and expectation, allowing the Kundalini, the basic primal energy, to ascend along the energetic channels along the spine.
The three main energy channels, ida, pingala and sushumna, activate the energy nodes, or chakras. Regular repetition purifies and regenerates the body, healing physical, mental and emotional imbalances. Happiness, health and freedom can manifest as a result.
The Tantrika first sends the Metta, love from the receiver, into the heart. This creates an orgasmic sensation all over the body. Pingala and Ida nadi are activated, controlling organs and vital processes, and mental processes. They climb up along the spine and direct the 72,000 nadis, nourishing and purifying. Thus Sushumna nadi in the center of the spine can begin to flow.
This process enables spiritual awakening and brings healing to the body and mind. Although skeptics may claim that Tantra cannot heal the human body, countless people have found that it provides excellent support for various chronic, psychological and functional disorders.
True Tantra is the path of liberation and transformation, focusing on breaking karmic patterns and physical, emotional and mental limitations. Spiritual liberation occurs only through attention to it. Regular Tantra massages allow this process to occur effortlessly, gradually habits, suffering and feelings of lack disappear. The gentle process eliminates reliving trauma.
The task of the tantrika is guidance, without self-interest, desire, lust, judgment or interpretation. The tantrika creates a safe environment creating space for vulnerability and surrender. Upon loss of inner heart connection, the tantrika redirects, breaking a mental pattern, after which the Tantra massage really begins. A 60-90 minute massage is an introduction; for pure surrender and true Tantra, including experiencing vulnerability and surrender, 120 minutes is recommended, sometimes even three to five hours.
From an evolutionary perspective, awakening the Kundalini is the main purpose of our human existence. That awakening in practice amounts to self-realization and activation of cosmic consciousness. Tantra makes understanding life and living from our essence possible for everyone.
The Kundalini Awakening
The primal energy Kundalini splits into Shiva (consciousness energy) and Shakti (movement energy). In balance, life energy or Prana arises, purifying and increasing. This opens the way for cosmic consciousness, as described in Buddha’s eightfold path.
The paradox of Kundalini awakening
Misconceptions about Kundalini, the sacred fire or the Shakti snake, are persistent, but Tantra has transformative power. Consciously directed, it frees it from illusion and destruction. Kundalini is both Shiva and Shakti, and the solution to our problems lies within ourselves. A purer life follows when we meet the Shiva and Shakti within ourselves.
The Kundalini awakening as activation of the self-regulating energetic system
This activation occurs through purification on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Embracing shadows and accepting opposing forces leads to a rebirth in our own lives. A Tantra massage can support this process in a pleasant way, and a Tantra session is grant for interpretation and insight.
Tantra as support for Kundalini awakening
Without guidance and conscious experience, Kundalini awakening can be long and intense. Unconscious activation can lead to stress, illness, drama and deficit. Tantra offers support and can bring inner peace. It is controversial but absolutely groundbreaking in achieving harmony.
What is My Way of Working?
As a Tantrika, I gift an experience, a moment for yourself and function as a facilitator of that intimate moment. To make this possible, I use the basic principles from non-dualistic Tantra. The goal here is to create harmony in yourself, balance in your life and loving relationships. Thus you naturally arrive at the essence of spiritual awakening. This sets you on a path of happiness, health and abundance. Moreover, all this can be done without the slightest infringement on the values and norms of others and your environment.
Most Common Misconceptions About Tantra Massage
Therefore, erotic and sensual massages are often offered under the name Tantra. Although this may seem contrary to common sense, it is perfectly possible when the essence of Tantra is central. However, we should not draw a picture: unfortunately, this is often not the case. Consequently, the answer to the question "what is a Tantra massage?" is very different for a lot of people. Moreover, there are quite a few more Tantra stretches that have their own interpretation of this.
The basis of a true tantric massage, on the other hand, is very simple and transparent. Indeed, the use of age-old proven techniques ensure the release of blocked energy in both body and mind. It follows that consciousness can grow. Specifically, this translates into insight and compassion from which wisdom and unconditional love follow.
Tantric Couple Retreat
A new relationship is exciting, fun and inspiring. A long-term relationship has its challenges. For both, a Tantra Couple Retreat is ideal for developing a vision that guides your relationship through all the ups and downs when the infatuation is over.
There is no better way to nurture your relationship than a transformative Tantric Couple Retreat. Relax together through Tantra massage, and playfully connect and discover what Tantra has to offer you as a couple.

The foundation of true Tantra, regardless of its purport, is fairly simple to understand. All you need for that is openness to the proposition that everything that is translates into energy. Similarly, it is important to recognize that all energy carries consciousness. So consciousness andenergy are two equal but also opposite forces that drive and shape the universe.
Both forces have both a positive and negative pole. When these four poles, also called elements, connect and transcend each other, the feeling of being “total” is created. We recognize this feeling as a Zen experience, flow or being “in the zone. You can also phrase it a little less pompously, and then we talk about zero point energy, natural balance, the fifth element, etc. By the way, for those interested, the five elements and Tantra are very nicely described in the Chinese Tao Tantra vision.
Non-dualistic Tantra: connection between Shiva and Shakti
The origins of authentic Tantra are found in the non-dualistic Shaiva Tantric tradition from Kashmir, influenced by Abhinavagupta and the Dzogchen tradition from Tibet. The secret Tattva, the reality principle, is the foundation of this Tantra, in which the neutral Tattva serves as the perfect fusion between Shiva and Shakti.
The heart plays a crucial role in Shaiva Tantrism, as the core where consciousness and energy converge. Tantra supports the process of connecting with the wisdom of the universe through the heart, with Tantra massage playing an important role.
Integrating Tantra into one’s life begins with developing right vision, the basis of the eightfold path as described by Buddha. It enables us to see ourselves in our divine essence and frees us from illusions.
Key elements of non-dualistic Tantra:
- Basics of the five elements with the Tattvas as a guide.
- Provides a framework for different realities.
- Activates the awakening of the senses and manifests the natural state of being.
Two essential goals of Tantra:
- Mukti: Liberation from suffering and experiencing bliss, or spiritual awakening. Understanding and application of the four noble truths are essential.
- Bhukti: Creation of opulence, pleasure and power. Important to transcend Bhukti through understanding of the eightfold path.
In our Western culture, spiritual awakening is associated with personal development and self-realization. It begins when the heart chakra opens and undergoes a deep transformation, similar to Kundalini awakening. The full awakening of the chakra requires that right vision become constant, which anchors a deep non-dualistic awareness in our consciousness.
Tantra is not a belief or dogma, but rather a science for consciously perceiving and understanding life experience. It offers knowledge and support so that each person can discover their authentic self and walk the Tantra Path autonomously. The process of self-realization, the strengthening of the self in our existence, is the true purpose of our existence. We are the actors who can create both our personal and collective reality.
“Become the change you want to see in the world.”

Tantra Massage in the West: dualism versus non-dualism
Tantra massage is known in the West primarily as an experience of erotic, intimate and sexual ecstasy. This popular view, focused on tantric sex, pleasure and boundless sexual expression (Bukhti), reflects the dualistic approach of Neo Tantra, which, however, does not reflect the essence of true Tantra.
Dualistic Neo Tantra:
- Focus on erotic, intimate interaction.
- Emphasis on sexual liberation.
- Popular in the West.
Non-dualistic Real Tantra:
- Breaking through shame, insecurity and fear of self.
- Balancing the first two chakras.
- Discovering and loving the self, including shadow work.
Breaking through shame and expressing repressed desires and lusts are crucial for spiritual growth. However, the choice between dualistic and non-dualistic Tantra massage is very important here.
Dualistic Tantra Massage:
- More physical interaction, play between man and woman.
- Ability to activate Metta-Ji through physical intimacy.
- Step-by-step stepping stone to Tantra healing with emphasis on the inner process.
Erotic vs. Tantric Massage:
- Important distinction between tantric and erotic massages.
- Tantric massage can be erotic, but not all erotic massages are tantra.
- Discernment based on personal experience.
Unfortunately, confusion is sometimes created because some tantrikas use tantric techniques to initiate sexual intimacies or erotic interactions without clear agreements. In these cases, there is no authentic Tantra.
Erotic Tantra massages in the West are also referred to as black and red tantra, but these differ greatly from the authentic Tantra vision. It is essential to observe your experience and make clear arrangements to maintain the integrity of the Tantra experience.
Namasté, “I salute the Buddha in you,” embodies the Tantra idea of seeing each other for who you are from the heart. In our busyness, we are focused on surviving, fighting, performing and judging. The real question is, “What do we really want to perform, hear and see, interpret, learn and realize?
- Bringing our energy to self-expression,
- Surviving the confrontation with ourselves,
- Manifesting ourselves rather than performing,
- Surrendering to our shadows instead of fighting them,
- Judging ourselves by our own values and standards rather than judging ourselves
- Listening to ourselves and seeing ourselves for who we really are,
- Keeping ourselves in the here and now without confusing our thoughts for reality,
- Learning to understand ourselves,
- Choosing what we want to realize ourselves.
The key word here is “SELF,” the Buddha within us, beyond the external world.
The Four Noble Truths
Events force us out of our comfort zone. Pain and despair can make us look at life differently and awaken from our existing reality. This process, in line with the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths:
- Recognition of suffering and understanding that everything is temporary except our Self,
- Discovering the causes of suffering and understanding that our choices, thoughts and actions determine it,
- The end of suffering is possible when we act from the knowledge that we have power over our suffering,
- The path to removing the causes of suffering is the eightfold path.
The Buddha’s Eightfold Path
When we see the fourth Noble Truth, the Kundalini in the heart chakra awakens and takes over the heart. This leads to our second Buddha awakening, deep healing and overall transformation on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level.
Ethical behavior (Sīla):
- Correct speech and communication,
- Right actions and choices,
- Right livelihood and lifestyle.
Concentration (Samādhi):
- Proper effort and behaviors,
- Just awareness and mindfulness,
- Proper concentration and focus.
Wisdom (Panja):
- Right intention and motivation,
- Right insight and reality.
Right represents clarity, without illusion, rather than dualism. These steps lead to self-actualization.
Yoga Sutras & Meditation:
Integration of Yoga and meditation is essential for practical application of Buddha’s knowledge. Yoga and meditation are an important part of Tantra, with no religious framework but as a practical structure for directing Kundalini awakening.
Yamas and Niyamas:
- Ten precepts leading to enlightenment,
- Develop specific qualities during Kundalini awakening and chakra awakening,
- Focus on good behavior and morals from classical Vedanta, with special attention to self-control or Brahmacharya.
Mahavidyas and the Dance of Consciousness:
The ten wisdoms of the Hindu goddesses symbolize shadows and light of inner freedom, reflecting the Yamas and Niyamas or the eightfold path of the Buddha. Tantra is more than sexual expansion; it is about self-love, respect, unconditionality and awareness to live a loving existence together.
Vipassana, Madhuvidya and Mindfulness:
Powerful meditation techniques for practical application of Buddha’s knowledge in daily life.
- Mindfulness: observing mental processes without interpretation,
- Madhuvidya: Focused on the heart and perceiving bliss,
- Vipassana: Objectively perceiving bodily sensations.
The essence is breaking free of expectations, desires and resistances to experience surrender, as in a Tantra massage.
Who Is Tantra Massage Suitable For?
Tantra healing is suitable for both women, men and couples (+18y.). A tantric massage can be used after a busy day or just to take some time for yourself. However, it can also be a very approachable way to process events. Here there is no need at all for re-experiencing, digging for cause and effect or heavy processing. Tantra is a rather pleasurable way to complete the past and enjoy more in the moment. Especially for women, it is a great way to restore their femininity, build self-confidence and heal emotional and mental wounds.

Testimonials
After a 3-hour Tantra massage, I have no words to describe it. At first I thought, how do you do 3 hours of massage. After an hour and a half, I already have a feeling of total relaxation and peaceful rest. I opened myself up to the experience. Now I think a person should do that every week. Gwendoline, your massages have something special. But you hear that a lot, I suppose.
Every time I seek out a new tantrika I always have "something" to overcome and this was no different with Gwendoline. But the friendly, warm welcome and her engaging personality made that "something" disappear instantly. Apparently, on an energetic level there was also some kind of recognition that made her know perfectly how to lovingly take me into the tantric flow that was right for me. For two hours I stayed in a dimension that made me whole in every way. In the past I have had several experiences with Tantra, from good to very good. However, this one will stay with me forever as a particularly unique trip, led by a very experienced guide.
Twelve sessions of massage I had, very intense but also transformative. I completely turned my life around, different love, at work and no more pain clinic. I left with a different outlook on life, insights and nutrition tips, Yoga and meditation and the whole edification has given me the strength to take responsibility, choose independently for myself and allow the right people on my path. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
I came alone because that I found it difficult to bring my wife. It was all about me. And even though my wife was not there, so much happened and my relationship took breath. Now I understand my wife, I have broken old patterns of old relationships that overshadowed the relationship with my wife. I thought it was a big step, and a decent amount. But it is nothing compared to what I received. My wife and I have found each other again. There is no more separation and I can be myself in my relationship after years. It was an experience never to be forgotten.
