How often should I do authentic tantric massage sessions?

Tantra is an important milestone in the history of Yoga, as it brings to light a new conception of the body, which before that was considered an obstacle to liberation, a source of corruption and an enemy of the Spirit. This view of the body as a bundle of temporal substantial things gave way to a physical conception of the abode of God, and the preparation of the body became an alchemical process for realizing spiritual perfection. The body came to be seen as a reflection of the macrocosm, which contains all the secrets of the universe.

Because of these precepts, Tantra is considered a non-repressive philosophy, that is, it removes the repressions that are imposed on our body, our desires and sensations by culture, religions and morals. Tantra proposes a cure through conscious pleasure and consequently the activation of our sexual energy. Through sex and pleasure, the kundalini (the energetic serpent that resides at the base of our spine and therefore in our 1st chakra, which is our energy center that connects us with the earth) rises, activating the other chakras until it reaches in the 7th energy center.

The framework of knowledge in psychology and anthropology says that the body expresses the way in which a person experiences himself and lives in the world. Therefore, we must recognize that our bodily expression is shaped by past events and, mainly, by the interpretations that we draw from them. All experiences count, and the most significant ones certainly produced energy signatures in our body, precisely because of our inability to give vent to their expressions and resulting feelings. Freud says that “in the unconscious nothing ends, nothing is past or forgotten”. Psychoanalysis states that unresolved emotions will seep into behavior, manifesting themselves in a variety of ways, such as dreams, thoughts, play, physical symptoms and relationship patterns.

Tantra is a path of personal development that has always followed opposite paths to this vision presented above. The tantric tradition values the body, human energy, the human senses and, above all, the sacred marriage between masculine and feminine, in us, in relationships with others, with nature and with existence. Tantric scriptures present a view of life as something special that takes place in the here and now – unlike the view of life as a preliminary that prepares you for the kingdom of heaven, where then, all existence will finally make sense. The various facets of the tantric tradition converge in asserting that tantric practices are relevant to all those who seek to cultivate self-knowledge and are sincerely engaged in the task of spiritual evolution.

For Tantra, the quest consists of living an experience of transcendence, with the human body as the main “vehicle” to make this new state possible. But transcendence of what, exactly? The verb transcend means to overcome something, to go beyond some limit. A good way to interpret this state of transcendence has to do with the idea of cycles of existence. While in the Western Cartesian tradition the passage of time is seen as a linear experience that links the past to the future, the Tantric approach views it as an interesting creation and recreation of cycles. Existence and the universe for Tantra seem to pulsate in cycles of expansion, contraction and relaxation. Especially, at each cycle the human being provides himself with opportunities for learning and expansion of consciousness.

For this reason, tantric practices involve awakening the body’s energy. In the essence of Tantra is the search for the meditative state, that is, the realization of sharing the protagonism of existence among all the control centers, instead of just the mind.
In meditation we create experiences of connection with the silence of our entrails, with the power of our chakras and, in short, we reduce the power of influence of our ego’s limiting identifications – hence the idea of transcendence that I mentioned above. In Tantra, breathing, meditation and energy movement are powerful instruments for expanding the being.
