Recently, I have seen yet another confirmation of what tantra massage can bring about through valuable feedback from a client. For those who succeed in surrendering and letting the (sexual) energy flow through the body, there is a pattern of characteristics that returns afterwards and can be summarized as becoming more powerful as a woman.
The client I am talking about told me during the exploratory conversation that she has a depressingly small connection with her body and feelings, and experiences a lack of energy. She also has difficulty focusing on her work and she does not have the drive to go outside often in her private time. She wants to learn to change her hindering thoughts and is looking for supportive therapies to improve her life. When she read explanations and testimonials about tantra massage, it convinced her to take the step.
After her 1st session, she was completely overwhelmed and thanked me up to 10 times. The soft, loving touches were completely new to her and left a deep impression on her.
After her 2nd session she gave me feedback that after the session and up to 2 weeks later she felt that she had more energy, was more assertive in her decisions and went over her boundaries less (or at least was more aware of the moments when she crossed those).
After her 3rd session she let me know that she had experienced something very special towards the end of the session. Suddenly images of situations with people where she had gone over her boundaries came to mind. No nice, positive memories. At the same time she felt a power flowing through her at that moment, an awareness that she had denied herself during these situations. Nourished by this energetic, powerful moment she made the resolution that this cannot and will not happen again. The power she felt at that moment is for me one of the characteristic effects that tantra (massage) stands for. For women who easily fall into a pattern of pleasing, this can be extremely effective and meaningful. All the more so because during a session you only receive without giving (anything back) yourself.
For those who find this all a bit vague and too spiritual, I would like to emphasize that this client herself is absolutely not a "woo-woo type". She is a very down-to-earth woman for whom the physical sensations that a tantra massage brings are completely new. The images that came up during her 3rd session were not things that had recently been on her mind. So they really did come unexpectedly and from deep down.
In terms of depth, I often notice a big difference between the 1st and the 2nd session.
The 1st session is completely new and exciting. You don't know what's coming and are therefore still a bit on your guard. After all, you are in a new place with someone you don't know at all, so it makes sense that you don't feel 100% safe and don't trust everything completely.
The 2nd session is often a different story. Even though I almost always hear that you never get used to it and that it is always different, it still feels very different in terms of safety and trust. In a sense, you already know better what is coming or could come, which means that your mind is less occupied and you can get OUT of your head and INTO your body a bit more easily. In summary, at the start of the session, you are already at a deeper point of relaxation compared to the first session and you can therefore sink much more into yourself.
