Is Tantra for You?

Let's create a special place just for you. A sacred space that's safe, comfortable, and empowering. A space where you can express yourself in your own way and be heard, truly heard. Let's develop a personal discipline which serves your Body, Heart and Soul.
It's my JOY and HONOR to simply be present with you, to listen to you, and support you in your process of self exploration, self expansion and self expression.
“For the first time ever I was able to connect with someone without pretense, without playing a role...I felt safe, I could relax and accept the love...I feel like a woman who was seen for the first time, and properly adored. And that there is passion burning in me.” ~ S.
So, what's a session look like? It all depends on what you want to accomplish. The session can have the feel of a yoga class, a bodywork session, a Living/Tantric Ritual, or a combination of all three. I also use techniques and modalities I've studied over the years pertaining to tantra, personal growth, bodywork, Shamanism and communication. I'm also not scared to try something new. But first, giving voice to your needs, wants, and boundaries is a big part of it. From there we can mold a session that best suits you.
"Martin create's a sacred and safe space where release is encouraged on a physical and emotional level. I would recommend his work to anyone seeking this unique melding of bodywork and sacred connection." ~C.
My three main tantric practices:
The yoga of tantra is a personal discipline, excellent for raising and channelling and integrating the creative energies of the 1st and 2nd chakras through: movement (kriya yoga), meditation, breathwork and exercise to expand your ability to "settle into yourself" to get comfortable "in your Skin/Body". This is also good stuff for maintaining a healthy body and reducing stress.
“Your place was great – very comfortable and private... It was great that you recognized my need for “slow and steady wins the race” and didn’t try to move things along too quickly. I appreciated being fully clothed, without the added anxiety of being too fully revealed. It was perfect.” ~S
Tantsu™ is a wonderful modality of moving with another. Through Shiatsu meridian stretches, holding and gentle movement, both client and practitioner learn to relax with each other. Our bodies are rejuvenated and nurtured, and our mental, emotional, and creative energies are more balanced and alive. Tantsu is also an excellent tool for deepening levels of intimacy between any two people: lovers, friends, or family.
Of course, if you've come in with injuries, we can also look at theraputic bodywork techniques that will help you to be more comfortable during the session. I'm a believer in indirect, positional release and have no interest in causing extra pain or injury. I am not a massage therapist or Doctor. If you have an injury that needs medical help, call 911 or see your Doctor. I will suggest this if I see something that my intuition tells me you need anyway, so get the help you need, then see me.
"It's so beautiful. Some moves had a profound essence to them...at times it felt like I felt like I was flying, at times it felt like when I was being held as a baby. " ~M.
Tantric Ritual and Living Ritual/Spontaneous Ceremony provide an "arena" in which to sensually, emotionally, subconsciously.... artistically affect change in our lives. It's a very personal alchemy. I'm willing to be there with you and I take my cues from you. For some, what I'm calling ritual is simple touch or intimate presence/acknowledgement, but when held in a ceremonial fashion, almost anything can become a loving, sacred act of honoring another and therefore beautiful, awesome, heart healing.
This doesn't have to look a certain way. It's not about sarongs, incense and candles..and not about anything religious, but about true reverence. Beholding someone for the miraculous creation they are, letting their own Divinity speak through them. This may sound woo woo, but this is how I see it. This is how I see a woman who's stepping into her integrity, her Divinity, who she really is, and expressing it!
“I talked with ..(THERAPIST).. today and gave him the play by play... When I described to him that you held me and stroked my hair... He said that many adults that lacked that type of physical affection as a child spend the rest of their lives craving it and needing it and looking for it. So, that really was earth shattering for me and thinking about it makes me tear up. Thank you for that healing touch.” ~S
The rewards are worth the effort! You receive benefits according to the amount you're willing to work at integrating the practice into your life. There's no rule of just one session or no less than so many. There is a magical aspect to the work which always affects some change on the inner plane. This always lays the groundwork for change on the outer, bringing us closer to the things we want in our life. There's no standard or measure for how much or how fast, however. The gift is in the doing and receiving, acknowledging ourselves and our experience.
"Martin, you make me feel so free! I feel...loved". ~ L.
Namaste,
Martin
