The Secrets to Tantric Massage
Before we can begin to describe Tantric Massage in any detail we need to begin with the concept of Tantra.
Tantra refers to a combination of concepts or ideas: conscious expansion / awareness, entwinement or union. Tantric sex describes the path to spiritual enlightenment through focusing the mind, body, spirit, senses through sex. Thereby sex and sexual energy become the road to liberation, and sex (as well as related practices such as tantric massage) become a meditation in their own right.
