Integrating the divine feminine and divine masculine - the heart is the new base line
Letters About Tantric Massage
These letters were written in answer to inquiries about Tantric Massage, or inspired by same. I've made a few modifications to make them more readable. It is a difficult subject to explain.

Dear X: Well, I have to say - I don't have the answers either. That's quite a list you drew up of specific questions. Let me see, how do I begin? If you were to ask 1000 different people about Tantra, you would get 1000 different answers. No two people see Tantra alike. Most westerners, and probably even India today, place a heavy sexual shadings over it. But REAL Tantra, authentic Tantra, is not sexual unless the holy spirit makes it so. David does not go into it to make it sexual, it is how the spirit in you and the spirit in him connect. Human beings ruin everything by planning ahead. Mortal men are fools to do that, and wimps in the cosmic order of things. There is SO much we need to learn about surrendering to the inner spirit. This is David's work.
Tantra is not sexual, it includes every part of the human being and brings it all together to make it a powerful union. That is the ultimate. But it depends on how open the receiver is. That's why you should not expect anything. I will address that. Only spirit can bring success and only when it flows. Certainly not you, who will be the receiver. Only spirit knows what to do. David does not knew either. He begins by putting his hands on you in a simple and innocent way like a massage therapist, so he can begin assessing and feeling the energies of your body. He does not begin a Tantric massage planning what to do ahead of time. How could he know? He does not know your body yet. He has to connect with the consciousness of the cells and the flows of the meridians. He does not use tools, only his hands. He has no idea what your holy spirit is blocked and needs to open. He feels for that block. Between the light in you and the light in him, when they connect and become one, then blocks are released and this brings you back into alignment. The result is often a swooning, a great peace that goes through you, like after an orgasm.
You are being drawn to do this so do it, but don't anticipate. David has been brought into the picture as one who can help. When I worked with David a few times giving four-handed sessions to women, I realized that we were operating differently. I guessed that it was because he was a man and I was a woman, but I wasn't sure. We were very in synch on a talking level and a hugging level, but our energies were flowing differently when we worked on a third party. I watched him and learned from him. I learned to step aside and let him practice alone without me. I asked my master DK about why? And he told me it was because I was searching for the inner divine connection, which is solitary Tantra. My goal and purpose was different. David wanted to heal others. He was a man. The male function is of the doer and is more active, where the female function is to matain the inner connection. We had different objectives. But I saw him in action and knew how he operated. That's why I can say, "Trust him!" His only desire it to bring divine love, unconditional love, pure and holy love, into your body. David is a channel for the divine love. He is well suited to be a channel for the divine. But he is also a man and can work the physical body muscles and joints if need be. I can't because I'm not interested in the physical. God alone knows what your body needs, and David is a channel for that.
Tantra in Sanskrit means "web" as in a webbing of transparent thin lines or conduits. It refers to the web of life and the web of life is not physical. It is consciousness. There is nothing physical under the sun. Everything that appears physical is consciousness condensed or compacted tightly into density so it takes on the appearance of physical, but it is all consciousness. Your body is compacted consciousness. David works with the consciousness of the cells and feels where the blocks are that are preventing the flow of consciousness. Problems arise because, even though their bodies are consciousness, people are still asleep and don't know they are asleep. So a quickening needs to take place. A breaking of the plugs that are blocking the free flow of consciousness. When that happens, it triggers a wash of clean pure peace. It feels transcendent and it inundates the body and a person may actually swoon or leave the body if it is a powerful release. Picture the minister touching the forehead of a churchgoer and saying in a loud voice, "HEAL!!" and the person faints and falls backward. It is the same power being released.
A healer or minister needs to be himself evolved enough to be such a channel of the universal energy, to do this work. A normal human mind wouldn't know what to do, except to assist someone in having an orgasm. But an orgasm won't do it either, unless spirit opens other channels to help spread it around. Spirit has to move. Normal orgasms keep repeating the same thing over and over without expanding the spiritual channels. Tantra is sexual in the sense that it uses the meridians that this mysterious force flows through, and expands on it. Most people use the same channels each time for their sex play, but the improvement comes from opening NEW channels. There is a webbing that runs through the body but in most people these hair-thin conduits are clogged from many lifetimes of mental programming to focus, focus, focus on ONLY the physical. Only the physical. Our genetics from our ancestors are to focus ONLY on the physical. This focus on the physical has shut off and closed up the nerves and brain synapses.
So I don't know if there will be an orgasm or not. You shouldn't "expect" it or you will be disappointed if you don't have the same kind of feeling that you are used to having with an orgasm. What is an orgasm anyway? It is different for each person. I once had a man on my table that had an orgasm lying on his stomach not moving. He didn't expect it. There was no signal, no sound. Just a soft breathy moan came from him and there was a wet sheet afterwards. I knew when it happened and I didn't say a word. Apparently channels opened in him without my thought or intention - or his. Tantra is assisting spirit to flow in an innocent body. We don't need all these vibrators and dildoes to force it. True Tantra is spirit-driven.
The reason we say (or I say) that Tantra is not sexual, is to reduce expectation. To expect it is to reduce it to a finite physical thing and Tantra is not a physical process. Looking down your list of questions - I don't know if it's going to be sexual or not. And I don't know if David is going to be sexual or not. I would like you to go into it like a innocent young woman who is going to be mentored in the art of divine love. Be receptive. Be as pure as the driven snow. Don't expect it to be sexual because if you do you will put a damper on his ability to do his work. It could create blockages and spirit won't be able to flow and unlock what needs releasing. Drop your normal human attitudes. Surrender to openness. Consider David to be invisible. He's just a cosmic force who does not understand mortal limits. He will be working from within, sensing and seeking to connect his light with your light. I can say this because I got to know him. But I actually don't know what he's going to do. He doesn't even know what he's going to do. He has to be with you and feel your flows and your blockages. Trust him. If you are uncomfortable about anything, tell him. Be matter of fact about it. Trust your body and tell him. It's not preplanned. I do know you will begin by lying down on his very comfortable table which can be raised or lowered and has a heating pad on it. I don't think he will use a vibrator. I have never seen a vibrator with him. Yes he will massage your whole body. I do not know beyond that.
The second chakra is called the sex chakra, but in humankind the second chakra has been capped, like an oil well is capped and sealed off in order to create pressure and lust. The energy does not get past the second chakra to go up to nourish the rest of the body because it is closed off at the second chakra. The purpose is to create pressure for orgasms. Pressure builds up and people seek a sexual release, and they have their big bang but then they die out and go back to the way they were. The energy is used and spent on orgasm and it's wasted. The purpose of the life force is to rejuvenate and revitalize and re-nourish the body, but it doesn't get up high enough to do that. The energy is all used up by the orgasm at the second chakra. Spirit wants us to open ALL the chakras. The energy used for orgasm is pure divinity. It is the holy spirit and it's trying to resurrect the body with more purity but it's not working because we have a limited sex life. We have capped it to "just sex". That energy is pure divinity and mankind is supposed to become a divine physical being, but it hasn't happened because we're releasing it and letting it flow.
This is a mystery, I know. I'm talking about things that most people don't know about. I better not talk too much, I'll scare you off! Mankind (I use the male pronoun to make it simpler) is meant to enjoy his physicality more than he is able to use it today. The energy meant for improving the body is not circulating freely. That means we are limited and mostly artificial. The divine is not present. It can't reach the cells because the second chakra is blocked.
In women it is blocked because men have pounded them to death down there and the men are blocked because they are mostly focused on the physical. Only the physical matters to those who are heavily indoctrinated into their maleness. They don't understand the feminine. But when the divine energy starts to flow, the softening begins. When the second chakra is released and the spirit starts to flow through the nerves and meridians, the bodoy starts to quicken and transformation takes place. If it is allowed to flow continuously without repressing it again it is a way of being reborn. It changes a person. Then you will go on to help others in ways that only you know what to do. Then you are a channel for more good things to come and you can help others.
It is difficult to explain this in words. Trust David. The only preparation is be nice and clean in body and mind. Be an innocent young woman going into this session. That is the only way to prepare yourself. I'm sorry I wrote so much. I hope I didn't turn you off. This is the only way I can say it!

Following is a letter to someone who asked about Tantric massage. Tantra is becoming increasingly popular but most people don't have understanding because it is a spiritual healing technique. This site carries information about Tantra and Tantric massage, along with the contact information of David, a gifted Tantric massage practitioner in Naples. I want to add to this information to try to increase understanding. I notice there are a lot of hits to the MASSAGE page, so massage is a popular subject and a much needed component of human nature. There is also a rise in interest how it all works, how meditation works and energy works. Massage is a wonderful technique for expressing love. High and holy love. Love is healing. I write about this all the time but it hasn't been absorbed very well yet in our culture. The culture is still fixated on sex. Perhaps this will fill in a little better what Tantric massage is.
Dear X, I'm sorry but I don't know any female tantric practitioners anywhere in SW Florida. I wish I did. Whether you should see a male practitioner depends on where YOU are coming from. I have a male colleague in Naples. He is posted on the Anakosha website. But what YOU are seeking and what you expect to happen during the massage makes a difference. Tantra is a spiritual energy treatment, it is not sexual. It uses the powers of the earth and the sun. These are the powers that get blocked and dammed up which create sexual feelings. A Tantric massage helps to unblock the energies. Most people don't understand what it's all about.
The power of the earth is spiritual, and the power of the sun is spiritual. We in our bodies are also spiritual but we live in a physical body which has a lot of blocks in it. It takes someone who knows what he or she is doing to put hands on a person and connect the spiritual power of earth (magnetism) with the spirit of God in the sun (electrical) and thus open the blocks in the body and allow the energies to flow through your physical body and bring parts back into alignment again, as they should be. The session brings a wonderful peace back to the body, for the body is also spiritual and can be made whole again by releasing blocks. Sex is a feeling of release because sex is a blockage. That's what Tantra is all about but it is not understood very well.
The body is also spiritual. It is composed of cells which are intelligent. They make up the different parts of the body - liver, heart, lungs, sex organs, muscles, etc. They ARE intelligent. Cells are spiritual. They get out of alignment because the person living in the body is not connected to his or her body, and is feeding the body all sorts of wrong thoughts. The body becomes a jangled piece of confusion because the lord of the manor is not maintaining it in pristine condition. The body needs a lot of help to be restored to good, healthy, working condition so it FEELS good. Finding a healer who knows how to remain clear as a channel and allow the spiritual forces to work through him or her is rare. David is such a person.
However, if your thought process links warm good feelings with feminine and a female body working on you, this can make a difference in the results. It is how you think that matters. Your beliefs mold your thoughts into expectations and anticipations. You may want to have a woman who is less knowledgeable about Tantra and more looking to a woman's hands on your skin. This is more shallow thinking but it is legitimate and not to be discounted. It is where your understanding lies and what will make you feel good. Your body is intelligent. It knows it wants SOMETHING. You have to figure out what your body wants and needs. Your body is condensed spirit. It is full of spiritual powers but it is fragmented and compacted and condensed into a physical concerete. It is rare to find a healer who is clear enough and knowledgeable enough to allow the spiritual forces to work through them and into you, the body on the table. David can do it.
Most people think Tantra is a sexual or sensual thing. What they think going into a treatment will alter the results. It is good to have a totally open mind and trust the practitioner. If you are looking for a sensual or sexual result, then you're probably wishing for a female practitioner. If you are looking for a genuine Tantric massage which will give you a wonderful healing, where your body is brought back into alignment as best can be done under your particular body system, then I would recommend going to David.
I hope this explains it a little bit better. Ask more questions if you like. I will try to answer them.

This little bit of insight into Tantric massage was stimulated by a request from someone in Michiagn, asking if I could recommend anyone in that state who gave Tantric massage. I am on several Tantra newsletter lists, so I am getting quite a bit of information about what is out there being offered. I have also done a lot of internet research, plus I have had my own first-hand experiences myself. But the most valuable information comes from an ascended master by the name of Djwal Khul. He is known as Master DK, a Tibetan Buddhist when he was last embodied centuries ago. I have been on contact with him for decades on inner levels. He is the one who re-directed my thought process back to MYSELF instead of seeking answers from other people. He has been giving me information over and above what can be find in the outer world of people. While David is putting his natural affinity for hands-on healing towards cultivating Tantric Massage, I am putting my natural affinity into writing about it, researching it, experiencing it and trying to define it for myself. I am drawn to it as a fly is drawn to honey. It is a past-life memory. I know I've done this before. I know the answers to the mystery of life, to the practical and human side of life, are held hidden within Tantra. One day, I asked my Tibetan guide, "Will you please explain to me about Tantra?" because I was confused. But before I could even finish the question, he interrupted me on the spot. I heard his voice say, "DIVINE Tantra!" correcting me on the spot. And from that day on, I have been receiving information.
The energy that David uses is what is known as "kundalini" energy. If you've never heard the word, look it up on the internet, but you will get so much information you won't know what to do with it all. It will confuse you. Kundalini is a feeling warm and wonderful and healing and motherly. It is the Mother Flame. It is the Holy Spirit spoken of in the religious scriptures. It is the holy mother to our holy father in heaven. It is the spirit of earth and it is invisible. It cannot be known with the mind. It must be felt, acknowledged, allowed and worshiped. The holy energy of the earth comes up from the earth through the feet as we walk on the ground. This spiritual energy from earth is drawn upward to meet the sky energy that is descending. The sky energy of the individual is the soul energy or spiritual energy of the individual descending down into the body, seeking to ground into the earth through the physical body and connect with the mother flame of the earth. Yes, it is mystical. It cannot be known by the brain or mind.
So we have earth energy rising up and spiritual energy coming down and they meet in the body which is concrete - or they are supposed to - and they swirl around together and meld together in a wonderful, beautiful, graceful dance together and influence the physical body and mind as they become one flow. They flow together in a figure eight pattern back and forth - or they are supposed to. This is the destiny of the human being - to bring spirituality and physicality together in a way that brings peace, harmony and balance to the body, mind and feelings. The problem is, people don't know about this beautiful energy. We weren't educated about this. We didn't know that we have been blocking the earth energy from rising up through our bodies to meet our higher selves in the main torso area. And we didn't know that we were blocking our spirituality from humanizing us and becoming part of our daily life. We were trained to block out such freedom and natural, innocent feelings. We were trained to be sinful, guilty, ashamed. We have been damaged. This information was taught only to those who had been initiated into the master's schools. Preparation was required. The yogis and mystics of the east know much more than we do here in the west.
Sex is a significant block, perhaps the most important of all. So naturally earth energy is going to help dissolve that block, and someone who knows what they are doing can help with that. That is what tantric massage is all about. But someone who hasn't gained this deep understanding will not be much help. David knows. Kundalini resides in the root chakra. It should normally flow up through the spinal column and meet the descending spirit in the region of the chest area, the heart, to purify, cleanse and make whole the entire human body-mind complex. But kundalini energy accumulates and builds up at the root chakra, the tail bone, and hence it becomes a pressure. We experience that pressure as a sexual feeling. We get horny. If it didn't accumulate we would flow and connect with people in harmony and grace and experience love instead of horniness. Sex would disappear and lovemaking would replace it naturally. People would be brought together freely, in delight, smoothly, without blockages and barriers.
Kundalini is neutral energy. It's made of love, just as all energy is neutrally made of love. The earth energy is spiritual. Earth is a living breathing being so her spirit is alive and vitally important to growing things on the surface, human beings included. Earth energy is not sexual. Sex is the result of holding a natural force back from expressing. When it becomes too much of a pressure a person feels tension, friction, horny, needy. A natural force that keeps him alive has been blocked and dammed up at the pelvic region of the spine. Earth energy is spiritual and the sky energy descending is spiritual. Both ends of the human spectrum are spiritual. But because we block it be feeling ashamed and guilty, we make it "legal" by marrying someone. Then we own that person, then we hold him or her back and we feel jealousy, possessiveness. We exert control over our mate and our mate exerts control over us. Other negative energies creep in and become unresolved issues. This beautiful spiritual energy becomes stuck and continues to be repressed on through the years of our life, distorting us and preventing us from advancing and evolving as human beings and spiritual beings. Imagine a big beautiful orb of light that is the individual's perfect and beautiful life energy. What David does in his sessions is unite earth energy and sky energy.
He can feel when he has hands on a person. He cannot explain what he is feeling because it is all feelings. It's a knowing. He is in the feeling and in the knowing. He is one with the person's feeling and he knows what's going on within the person. So there are no words. This is the most significant part of a tantric massage or a tantric lovemaking. The feelings flow and allow the union. David is a channel for this. He allows it to flow through him. He can feel or rather know where there are blocks and he simply allows the energy to go there and melt the blocks. He is conscious of what is happening. He is not "thinking" it to happen. It's not coming through his brain cells. It's not an ego thing. His mind is still and non-moving and acting as a stillpoint opening for divine love to flow through like a mountain stream gently down a mountain to meet itself in the ocean. It is love meeting love.
Tantra sessions can be performed on the lowest level, and on medium levels, and on high levels that would appear miraculous, but they would all be somewhat distorted by the ego personality. The highest level is one who is selfless and has no ego during the session. One who channels. That is what David does. I think that is why he and I have been brought together to work together. He performs the therapy and I explain it - in my own words of course. I am simply reporting what I know, or have discovered. Consider me an investigative journalist seeking the secrets hidden inside this ancient art form. These are my words, not his. So you can take it all with a grain of salt. I am not involved with the sessions at all.

I (Diana) slipped on wet tile and ended up with bruises, nothing broken, just stressed and strained muscles. After my own home remedies eased some of the soreness I went to David whom I haven't seen in a while for one of his fabulous massages. And WOW! I had forgotten why I have sponsored him in this website. It is THIS that I want to write about today, because under his corrective touch I remembered.
As everyone knows who reads this website, love motivates me. It's not personal. I'm not seeking a lover. I've been there and done that enough to last me several lifetimes and it's a dead end. No. There's a greater love that I'm interested in. It's metaphysical, transitional, spiritual, yet we are still human. So what is it? What are we looking for? Why are people so unhappy, lonely, depressed, hungry for something more? That's my quest. Don't get me wrong. I found it. But I'm still on earth in a human body and I wonder why it's not more available. This is what motivates me. It's much greater than a romantic connection with one person. Orgasms are a dime a dozen. They come and go easily. But there's an instinct for something. Is it the search for the holy grail? I believe it is. It's not a physical sensation but something more liberating. As if the body, mind, feelings - the soul itself - is revitalized and all the frayed ends are reconnected so you're shining like a sun and smiling and talking freely. You feel liberated, as if a great big glob of LIFE just entered you.
When I discovered David four years ago it was a connection that expanded and blossomed in friendship. We explored the concept of love intellectually, not as lovers would normally do. David channels a life force in a way that goes beyond the traditional male-female connection. That's why he also does Tantric Massage successfully. Tantric Massage is not personal. He works with the life force of the body and re-connects meridians and pathways so the body is nourished and fed with that great big glob of LIFE. It was a powerful living energy that I received during my massage the other day, and it liberated me so I was talking a blue streak, which I realized later feeling rather embarrassed. I just couldn't stop the flow. I chattered away like a bird set free and singing it's freedom non-stop. This is part of my discovery as I continue to explore what love is. I think I must change the word. This is not love as much as it is Life. It's a shining. It's not what men and women call "love" because it's not personal and not just physical. You can feel it physically in the way that a weight is removed from you and you are free. I started out calling it love many years ago because I felt it as a warmth in my body. But now I'm trying to define it in more appropriate terms. I am learning its true nature. What is the secret behind love? What is the source? Where does it come from? It doesn't come from human beings but it comes THROUGH human beings. It seems to require a connection with human beings. We can't find it all alone, by ourselves, at home. Not the exquisite body sensation of being filled with lightness. We need to engage with others to get the body sensation. I must conclude that love is created through the connection and that it can grow and spark the flesh and blood sensations beyond former boundaries.
There is a saying, "Love isn't something that was put here to stay. Love isn't love 'til it's given away." Our race, our culture has reduced love to an intellectual word and woven "love" into vows and promises that are fake and superficial. What is the real essence of love? We have bought into the reductionist approach hook, line and sinker. The reductionist approach is taking something you can't understand and reduce it to words or physical parts. As I study love out past the personal, sexual, friendships and on into forests and mountains and starry skies and further out into the Milky Way galaxy, because love is so hard to find here on the ground, I find myself coming back to myself. Love is in ME! I'm trying to find real love in other people but it's impossible unless I have found it within myself.
David wakes me up to remembering that I am loved. I remember that I am alive. He is a loving person. He channels love like the sun which shines on everyone alike, equally, without favorites. As young people when we find someone who we THINK is the source of love for us, we start to date them, and marry them, and then find it wasn't love after all, and everything goes down hill. So now when I find someone who is filled with love I don't turn it personal. I don't try to possess him, own him or date him. No! No! No! That's totally the wrong thing to do when we feel love for someone. We feel love because love is INSIDE US. Real love is always inside us. Real life is infinite and shining through the portal of the sun from a greater sun and a still greater sun. This is an ascended master teaching. And each one of us is a baby sun in the making. We are learning how to shine our love out to other people, and allow other people to shine their love back. Freely. Without owning or possessing or becoming jealous.
Love is universal, not personal. We human beings can be as personal as we choose, but it is wise to recognize the source of love is the life force of all creation. And it's there for us to use to heal, to grow, to evolve, to create loving families, new inventions, cleaner atmosphere, greener pastures. Love is everywhere. It's what comes through the sun as it shines on all creatures, great and small, without favoritism. As we grow in understanding how infinite love is, we don't want to build walls around people. We want to share ourselves with them freely, without owning them or being jealous of their time.
That's a life force. That's what I feel when David massages me. It's a returning back to my own warmth within me. I feel things and I know things that I'd forgotten. I'm not even aware of what he's doing to my muscles - that's his job to work on the muscles - I'm engaged in receiving and feeling. I allow the feeling to grow. I don't shut it off. There is a quickening. An alertness. A remembrance. An intelligence. And I am starting to shine on the inside. I say things without thinking. I'm free to talk without censoring. I am more liberated. More awake. I am returning to the harmony that was broken in my fall and perhaps was broken from prior to the fall. This is the love that is not personal and yet it is very personal for I am returning to my own love inside. My search leads me back to myself as the source.
David is a muscle therapist. He is very good at it. But he is also an open conduit for the life force. I am sure there are others who also do this, but I don't know any. His hands are warm like the sun and while he works the muscles, that life force shines through his hands automatically and makes me blossom - like when a flower which has been indoors all its life is put outside in the sun and rain. It starts to thrive. It automatically grows upward, reaching towards the source. It's natural. It's instinctive. It's evolutionary. The sun evolves everything that comes into its radiation. Famous mystics and spiritual teachers have the gift and people flock to them for this radiation. Quickening the source of love inside a body is what a master does, or a therapist with warm hands.
A quirky little fall on the tiles led me to go get a massage from David again. I wouldn't have gone without a reason. But I think it was more than the fall. It was time for me to receive more life force. A healing is when the body grows itself back together again, after a fall or accident or trauma. The body has the ability to heal itself, but this ability hasn't been awakened yet. In our current dumbed-down, limited belief culture, it takes human beings who are marvelously awake to not only assist in repairing, but in advancing and expanding beyond former boundaries into full consciousness. We can't do it alone in the current state of mass hypnosis of not-love. We are meant to touch, to hold, to care, to love one another without restrictions that have hemmed us in with huge taboos. But we must touch, hold, care and love one another. It's not personal.
The therapist isn't the source of the healing. The therapist is skilled in working the parts because of training. What is the source of the healing? Ahhhh! Where is the love? It is inside of the person, covered over. It needs to be awakened. It needs to be remembered.

Dear X: Well, I have to say - I don't have the answers either. That's quite a list you drew up of specific questions. Let me see, how do I begin? If you were to ask 1000 different people about Tantra, you would get 1000 different answers. No two people see Tantra alike. Most westerners, and probably even India today, place a heavy sexual shadings over it. But REAL Tantra, authentic Tantra, is not sexual unless the holy spirit makes it so. David does not go into it to make it sexual, it is how the spirit in you and the spirit in him connect. Human beings ruin everything by planning ahead. Mortal men are fools to do that, and wimps in the cosmic order of things. There is SO much we need to learn about surrendering to the inner spirit. This is David's work.
Tantra is not sexual, it includes every part of the human being and brings it all together to make it a powerful union. That is the ultimate. But it depends on how open the receiver is. That's why you should not expect anything. I will address that. Only spirit can bring success and only when it flows. Certainly not you, who will be the receiver. Only spirit knows what to do. David does not knew either. He begins by putting his hands on you in a simple and innocent way like a massage therapist, so he can begin assessing and feeling the energies of your body. He does not begin a Tantric massage planning what to do ahead of time. How could he know? He does not know your body yet. He has to connect with the consciousness of the cells and the flows of the meridians. He does not use tools, only his hands. He has no idea what your holy spirit is blocked and needs to open. He feels for that block. Between the light in you and the light in him, when they connect and become one, then blocks are released and this brings you back into alignment. The result is often a swooning, a great peace that goes through you, like after an orgasm.
You are being drawn to do this so do it, but don't anticipate. David has been brought into the picture as one who can help. When I worked with David a few times giving four-handed sessions to women, I realized that we were operating differently. I guessed that it was because he was a man and I was a woman, but I wasn't sure. We were very in synch on a talking level and a hugging level, but our energies were flowing differently when we worked on a third party. I watched him and learned from him. I learned to step aside and let him practice alone without me. I asked my master DK about why? And he told me it was because I was searching for the inner divine connection, which is solitary Tantra. My goal and purpose was different. David wanted to heal others. He was a man. The male function is of the doer and is more active, where the female function is to matain the inner connection. We had different objectives. But I saw him in action and knew how he operated. That's why I can say, "Trust him!" His only desire it to bring divine love, unconditional love, pure and holy love, into your body. David is a channel for the divine love. He is well suited to be a channel for the divine. But he is also a man and can work the physical body muscles and joints if need be. I can't because I'm not interested in the physical. God alone knows what your body needs, and David is a channel for that.
Tantra in Sanskrit means "web" as in a webbing of transparent thin lines or conduits. It refers to the web of life and the web of life is not physical. It is consciousness. There is nothing physical under the sun. Everything that appears physical is consciousness condensed or compacted tightly into density so it takes on the appearance of physical, but it is all consciousness. Your body is compacted consciousness. David works with the consciousness of the cells and feels where the blocks are that are preventing the flow of consciousness. Problems arise because, even though their bodies are consciousness, people are still asleep and don't know they are asleep. So a quickening needs to take place. A breaking of the plugs that are blocking the free flow of consciousness. When that happens, it triggers a wash of clean pure peace. It feels transcendent and it inundates the body and a person may actually swoon or leave the body if it is a powerful release. Picture the minister touching the forehead of a churchgoer and saying in a loud voice, "HEAL!!" and the person faints and falls backward. It is the same power being released.
A healer or minister needs to be himself evolved enough to be such a channel of the universal energy, to do this work. A normal human mind wouldn't know what to do, except to assist someone in having an orgasm. But an orgasm won't do it either, unless spirit opens other channels to help spread it around. Spirit has to move. Normal orgasms keep repeating the same thing over and over without expanding the spiritual channels. Tantra is sexual in the sense that it uses the meridians that this mysterious force flows through, and expands on it. Most people use the same channels each time for their sex play, but the improvement comes from opening NEW channels. There is a webbing that runs through the body but in most people these hair-thin conduits are clogged from many lifetimes of mental programming to focus, focus, focus on ONLY the physical. Only the physical. Our genetics from our ancestors are to focus ONLY on the physical. This focus on the physical has shut off and closed up the nerves and brain synapses.
So I don't know if there will be an orgasm or not. You shouldn't "expect" it or you will be disappointed if you don't have the same kind of feeling that you are used to having with an orgasm. What is an orgasm anyway? It is different for each person. I once had a man on my table that had an orgasm lying on his stomach not moving. He didn't expect it. There was no signal, no sound. Just a soft breathy moan came from him and there was a wet sheet afterwards. I knew when it happened and I didn't say a word. Apparently channels opened in him without my thought or intention - or his. Tantra is assisting spirit to flow in an innocent body. We don't need all these vibrators and dildoes to force it. True Tantra is spirit-driven.
The reason we say (or I say) that Tantra is not sexual, is to reduce expectation. To expect it is to reduce it to a finite physical thing and Tantra is not a physical process. Looking down your list of questions - I don't know if it's going to be sexual or not. And I don't know if David is going to be sexual or not. I would like you to go into it like a innocent young woman who is going to be mentored in the art of divine love. Be receptive. Be as pure as the driven snow. Don't expect it to be sexual because if you do you will put a damper on his ability to do his work. It could create blockages and spirit won't be able to flow and unlock what needs releasing. Drop your normal human attitudes. Surrender to openness. Consider David to be invisible. He's just a cosmic force who does not understand mortal limits. He will be working from within, sensing and seeking to connect his light with your light. I can say this because I got to know him. But I actually don't know what he's going to do. He doesn't even know what he's going to do. He has to be with you and feel your flows and your blockages. Trust him. If you are uncomfortable about anything, tell him. Be matter of fact about it. Trust your body and tell him. It's not preplanned. I do know you will begin by lying down on his very comfortable table which can be raised or lowered and has a heating pad on it. I don't think he will use a vibrator. I have never seen a vibrator with him. Yes he will massage your whole body. I do not know beyond that.
The second chakra is called the sex chakra, but in humankind the second chakra has been capped, like an oil well is capped and sealed off in order to create pressure and lust. The energy does not get past the second chakra to go up to nourish the rest of the body because it is closed off at the second chakra. The purpose is to create pressure for orgasms. Pressure builds up and people seek a sexual release, and they have their big bang but then they die out and go back to the way they were. The energy is used and spent on orgasm and it's wasted. The purpose of the life force is to rejuvenate and revitalize and re-nourish the body, but it doesn't get up high enough to do that. The energy is all used up by the orgasm at the second chakra. Spirit wants us to open ALL the chakras. The energy used for orgasm is pure divinity. It is the holy spirit and it's trying to resurrect the body with more purity but it's not working because we have a limited sex life. We have capped it to "just sex". That energy is pure divinity and mankind is supposed to become a divine physical being, but it hasn't happened because we're releasing it and letting it flow.
This is a mystery, I know. I'm talking about things that most people don't know about. I better not talk too much, I'll scare you off! Mankind (I use the male pronoun to make it simpler) is meant to enjoy his physicality more than he is able to use it today. The energy meant for improving the body is not circulating freely. That means we are limited and mostly artificial. The divine is not present. It can't reach the cells because the second chakra is blocked.
In women it is blocked because men have pounded them to death down there and the men are blocked because they are mostly focused on the physical. Only the physical matters to those who are heavily indoctrinated into their maleness. They don't understand the feminine. But when the divine energy starts to flow, the softening begins. When the second chakra is released and the spirit starts to flow through the nerves and meridians, the bodoy starts to quicken and transformation takes place. If it is allowed to flow continuously without repressing it again it is a way of being reborn. It changes a person. Then you will go on to help others in ways that only you know what to do. Then you are a channel for more good things to come and you can help others.
It is difficult to explain this in words. Trust David. The only preparation is be nice and clean in body and mind. Be an innocent young woman going into this session. That is the only way to prepare yourself. I'm sorry I wrote so much. I hope I didn't turn you off. This is the only way I can say it!

Following is a letter to someone who asked about Tantric massage. Tantra is becoming increasingly popular but most people don't have understanding because it is a spiritual healing technique. This site carries information about Tantra and Tantric massage, along with the contact information of David, a gifted Tantric massage practitioner in Naples. I want to add to this information to try to increase understanding. I notice there are a lot of hits to the MASSAGE page, so massage is a popular subject and a much needed component of human nature. There is also a rise in interest how it all works, how meditation works and energy works. Massage is a wonderful technique for expressing love. High and holy love. Love is healing. I write about this all the time but it hasn't been absorbed very well yet in our culture. The culture is still fixated on sex. Perhaps this will fill in a little better what Tantric massage is.
Dear X, I'm sorry but I don't know any female tantric practitioners anywhere in SW Florida. I wish I did. Whether you should see a male practitioner depends on where YOU are coming from. I have a male colleague in Naples. He is posted on the Anakosha website. But what YOU are seeking and what you expect to happen during the massage makes a difference. Tantra is a spiritual energy treatment, it is not sexual. It uses the powers of the earth and the sun. These are the powers that get blocked and dammed up which create sexual feelings. A Tantric massage helps to unblock the energies. Most people don't understand what it's all about.
The power of the earth is spiritual, and the power of the sun is spiritual. We in our bodies are also spiritual but we live in a physical body which has a lot of blocks in it. It takes someone who knows what he or she is doing to put hands on a person and connect the spiritual power of earth (magnetism) with the spirit of God in the sun (electrical) and thus open the blocks in the body and allow the energies to flow through your physical body and bring parts back into alignment again, as they should be. The session brings a wonderful peace back to the body, for the body is also spiritual and can be made whole again by releasing blocks. Sex is a feeling of release because sex is a blockage. That's what Tantra is all about but it is not understood very well.
The body is also spiritual. It is composed of cells which are intelligent. They make up the different parts of the body - liver, heart, lungs, sex organs, muscles, etc. They ARE intelligent. Cells are spiritual. They get out of alignment because the person living in the body is not connected to his or her body, and is feeding the body all sorts of wrong thoughts. The body becomes a jangled piece of confusion because the lord of the manor is not maintaining it in pristine condition. The body needs a lot of help to be restored to good, healthy, working condition so it FEELS good. Finding a healer who knows how to remain clear as a channel and allow the spiritual forces to work through him or her is rare. David is such a person.
However, if your thought process links warm good feelings with feminine and a female body working on you, this can make a difference in the results. It is how you think that matters. Your beliefs mold your thoughts into expectations and anticipations. You may want to have a woman who is less knowledgeable about Tantra and more looking to a woman's hands on your skin. This is more shallow thinking but it is legitimate and not to be discounted. It is where your understanding lies and what will make you feel good. Your body is intelligent. It knows it wants SOMETHING. You have to figure out what your body wants and needs. Your body is condensed spirit. It is full of spiritual powers but it is fragmented and compacted and condensed into a physical concerete. It is rare to find a healer who is clear enough and knowledgeable enough to allow the spiritual forces to work through them and into you, the body on the table. David can do it.
Most people think Tantra is a sexual or sensual thing. What they think going into a treatment will alter the results. It is good to have a totally open mind and trust the practitioner. If you are looking for a sensual or sexual result, then you're probably wishing for a female practitioner. If you are looking for a genuine Tantric massage which will give you a wonderful healing, where your body is brought back into alignment as best can be done under your particular body system, then I would recommend going to David.
I hope this explains it a little bit better. Ask more questions if you like. I will try to answer them.

This little bit of insight into Tantric massage was stimulated by a request from someone in Michiagn, asking if I could recommend anyone in that state who gave Tantric massage. I am on several Tantra newsletter lists, so I am getting quite a bit of information about what is out there being offered. I have also done a lot of internet research, plus I have had my own first-hand experiences myself. But the most valuable information comes from an ascended master by the name of Djwal Khul. He is known as Master DK, a Tibetan Buddhist when he was last embodied centuries ago. I have been on contact with him for decades on inner levels. He is the one who re-directed my thought process back to MYSELF instead of seeking answers from other people. He has been giving me information over and above what can be find in the outer world of people. While David is putting his natural affinity for hands-on healing towards cultivating Tantric Massage, I am putting my natural affinity into writing about it, researching it, experiencing it and trying to define it for myself. I am drawn to it as a fly is drawn to honey. It is a past-life memory. I know I've done this before. I know the answers to the mystery of life, to the practical and human side of life, are held hidden within Tantra. One day, I asked my Tibetan guide, "Will you please explain to me about Tantra?" because I was confused. But before I could even finish the question, he interrupted me on the spot. I heard his voice say, "DIVINE Tantra!" correcting me on the spot. And from that day on, I have been receiving information.
The energy that David uses is what is known as "kundalini" energy. If you've never heard the word, look it up on the internet, but you will get so much information you won't know what to do with it all. It will confuse you. Kundalini is a feeling warm and wonderful and healing and motherly. It is the Mother Flame. It is the Holy Spirit spoken of in the religious scriptures. It is the holy mother to our holy father in heaven. It is the spirit of earth and it is invisible. It cannot be known with the mind. It must be felt, acknowledged, allowed and worshiped. The holy energy of the earth comes up from the earth through the feet as we walk on the ground. This spiritual energy from earth is drawn upward to meet the sky energy that is descending. The sky energy of the individual is the soul energy or spiritual energy of the individual descending down into the body, seeking to ground into the earth through the physical body and connect with the mother flame of the earth. Yes, it is mystical. It cannot be known by the brain or mind.
So we have earth energy rising up and spiritual energy coming down and they meet in the body which is concrete - or they are supposed to - and they swirl around together and meld together in a wonderful, beautiful, graceful dance together and influence the physical body and mind as they become one flow. They flow together in a figure eight pattern back and forth - or they are supposed to. This is the destiny of the human being - to bring spirituality and physicality together in a way that brings peace, harmony and balance to the body, mind and feelings. The problem is, people don't know about this beautiful energy. We weren't educated about this. We didn't know that we have been blocking the earth energy from rising up through our bodies to meet our higher selves in the main torso area. And we didn't know that we were blocking our spirituality from humanizing us and becoming part of our daily life. We were trained to block out such freedom and natural, innocent feelings. We were trained to be sinful, guilty, ashamed. We have been damaged. This information was taught only to those who had been initiated into the master's schools. Preparation was required. The yogis and mystics of the east know much more than we do here in the west.
Sex is a significant block, perhaps the most important of all. So naturally earth energy is going to help dissolve that block, and someone who knows what they are doing can help with that. That is what tantric massage is all about. But someone who hasn't gained this deep understanding will not be much help. David knows. Kundalini resides in the root chakra. It should normally flow up through the spinal column and meet the descending spirit in the region of the chest area, the heart, to purify, cleanse and make whole the entire human body-mind complex. But kundalini energy accumulates and builds up at the root chakra, the tail bone, and hence it becomes a pressure. We experience that pressure as a sexual feeling. We get horny. If it didn't accumulate we would flow and connect with people in harmony and grace and experience love instead of horniness. Sex would disappear and lovemaking would replace it naturally. People would be brought together freely, in delight, smoothly, without blockages and barriers.
Kundalini is neutral energy. It's made of love, just as all energy is neutrally made of love. The earth energy is spiritual. Earth is a living breathing being so her spirit is alive and vitally important to growing things on the surface, human beings included. Earth energy is not sexual. Sex is the result of holding a natural force back from expressing. When it becomes too much of a pressure a person feels tension, friction, horny, needy. A natural force that keeps him alive has been blocked and dammed up at the pelvic region of the spine. Earth energy is spiritual and the sky energy descending is spiritual. Both ends of the human spectrum are spiritual. But because we block it be feeling ashamed and guilty, we make it "legal" by marrying someone. Then we own that person, then we hold him or her back and we feel jealousy, possessiveness. We exert control over our mate and our mate exerts control over us. Other negative energies creep in and become unresolved issues. This beautiful spiritual energy becomes stuck and continues to be repressed on through the years of our life, distorting us and preventing us from advancing and evolving as human beings and spiritual beings. Imagine a big beautiful orb of light that is the individual's perfect and beautiful life energy. What David does in his sessions is unite earth energy and sky energy.
He can feel when he has hands on a person. He cannot explain what he is feeling because it is all feelings. It's a knowing. He is in the feeling and in the knowing. He is one with the person's feeling and he knows what's going on within the person. So there are no words. This is the most significant part of a tantric massage or a tantric lovemaking. The feelings flow and allow the union. David is a channel for this. He allows it to flow through him. He can feel or rather know where there are blocks and he simply allows the energy to go there and melt the blocks. He is conscious of what is happening. He is not "thinking" it to happen. It's not coming through his brain cells. It's not an ego thing. His mind is still and non-moving and acting as a stillpoint opening for divine love to flow through like a mountain stream gently down a mountain to meet itself in the ocean. It is love meeting love.
Tantra sessions can be performed on the lowest level, and on medium levels, and on high levels that would appear miraculous, but they would all be somewhat distorted by the ego personality. The highest level is one who is selfless and has no ego during the session. One who channels. That is what David does. I think that is why he and I have been brought together to work together. He performs the therapy and I explain it - in my own words of course. I am simply reporting what I know, or have discovered. Consider me an investigative journalist seeking the secrets hidden inside this ancient art form. These are my words, not his. So you can take it all with a grain of salt. I am not involved with the sessions at all.

I (Diana) slipped on wet tile and ended up with bruises, nothing broken, just stressed and strained muscles. After my own home remedies eased some of the soreness I went to David whom I haven't seen in a while for one of his fabulous massages. And WOW! I had forgotten why I have sponsored him in this website. It is THIS that I want to write about today, because under his corrective touch I remembered.
As everyone knows who reads this website, love motivates me. It's not personal. I'm not seeking a lover. I've been there and done that enough to last me several lifetimes and it's a dead end. No. There's a greater love that I'm interested in. It's metaphysical, transitional, spiritual, yet we are still human. So what is it? What are we looking for? Why are people so unhappy, lonely, depressed, hungry for something more? That's my quest. Don't get me wrong. I found it. But I'm still on earth in a human body and I wonder why it's not more available. This is what motivates me. It's much greater than a romantic connection with one person. Orgasms are a dime a dozen. They come and go easily. But there's an instinct for something. Is it the search for the holy grail? I believe it is. It's not a physical sensation but something more liberating. As if the body, mind, feelings - the soul itself - is revitalized and all the frayed ends are reconnected so you're shining like a sun and smiling and talking freely. You feel liberated, as if a great big glob of LIFE just entered you.
When I discovered David four years ago it was a connection that expanded and blossomed in friendship. We explored the concept of love intellectually, not as lovers would normally do. David channels a life force in a way that goes beyond the traditional male-female connection. That's why he also does Tantric Massage successfully. Tantric Massage is not personal. He works with the life force of the body and re-connects meridians and pathways so the body is nourished and fed with that great big glob of LIFE. It was a powerful living energy that I received during my massage the other day, and it liberated me so I was talking a blue streak, which I realized later feeling rather embarrassed. I just couldn't stop the flow. I chattered away like a bird set free and singing it's freedom non-stop. This is part of my discovery as I continue to explore what love is. I think I must change the word. This is not love as much as it is Life. It's a shining. It's not what men and women call "love" because it's not personal and not just physical. You can feel it physically in the way that a weight is removed from you and you are free. I started out calling it love many years ago because I felt it as a warmth in my body. But now I'm trying to define it in more appropriate terms. I am learning its true nature. What is the secret behind love? What is the source? Where does it come from? It doesn't come from human beings but it comes THROUGH human beings. It seems to require a connection with human beings. We can't find it all alone, by ourselves, at home. Not the exquisite body sensation of being filled with lightness. We need to engage with others to get the body sensation. I must conclude that love is created through the connection and that it can grow and spark the flesh and blood sensations beyond former boundaries.
There is a saying, "Love isn't something that was put here to stay. Love isn't love 'til it's given away." Our race, our culture has reduced love to an intellectual word and woven "love" into vows and promises that are fake and superficial. What is the real essence of love? We have bought into the reductionist approach hook, line and sinker. The reductionist approach is taking something you can't understand and reduce it to words or physical parts. As I study love out past the personal, sexual, friendships and on into forests and mountains and starry skies and further out into the Milky Way galaxy, because love is so hard to find here on the ground, I find myself coming back to myself. Love is in ME! I'm trying to find real love in other people but it's impossible unless I have found it within myself.
David wakes me up to remembering that I am loved. I remember that I am alive. He is a loving person. He channels love like the sun which shines on everyone alike, equally, without favorites. As young people when we find someone who we THINK is the source of love for us, we start to date them, and marry them, and then find it wasn't love after all, and everything goes down hill. So now when I find someone who is filled with love I don't turn it personal. I don't try to possess him, own him or date him. No! No! No! That's totally the wrong thing to do when we feel love for someone. We feel love because love is INSIDE US. Real love is always inside us. Real life is infinite and shining through the portal of the sun from a greater sun and a still greater sun. This is an ascended master teaching. And each one of us is a baby sun in the making. We are learning how to shine our love out to other people, and allow other people to shine their love back. Freely. Without owning or possessing or becoming jealous.
Love is universal, not personal. We human beings can be as personal as we choose, but it is wise to recognize the source of love is the life force of all creation. And it's there for us to use to heal, to grow, to evolve, to create loving families, new inventions, cleaner atmosphere, greener pastures. Love is everywhere. It's what comes through the sun as it shines on all creatures, great and small, without favoritism. As we grow in understanding how infinite love is, we don't want to build walls around people. We want to share ourselves with them freely, without owning them or being jealous of their time.
That's a life force. That's what I feel when David massages me. It's a returning back to my own warmth within me. I feel things and I know things that I'd forgotten. I'm not even aware of what he's doing to my muscles - that's his job to work on the muscles - I'm engaged in receiving and feeling. I allow the feeling to grow. I don't shut it off. There is a quickening. An alertness. A remembrance. An intelligence. And I am starting to shine on the inside. I say things without thinking. I'm free to talk without censoring. I am more liberated. More awake. I am returning to the harmony that was broken in my fall and perhaps was broken from prior to the fall. This is the love that is not personal and yet it is very personal for I am returning to my own love inside. My search leads me back to myself as the source.
David is a muscle therapist. He is very good at it. But he is also an open conduit for the life force. I am sure there are others who also do this, but I don't know any. His hands are warm like the sun and while he works the muscles, that life force shines through his hands automatically and makes me blossom - like when a flower which has been indoors all its life is put outside in the sun and rain. It starts to thrive. It automatically grows upward, reaching towards the source. It's natural. It's instinctive. It's evolutionary. The sun evolves everything that comes into its radiation. Famous mystics and spiritual teachers have the gift and people flock to them for this radiation. Quickening the source of love inside a body is what a master does, or a therapist with warm hands.
A quirky little fall on the tiles led me to go get a massage from David again. I wouldn't have gone without a reason. But I think it was more than the fall. It was time for me to receive more life force. A healing is when the body grows itself back together again, after a fall or accident or trauma. The body has the ability to heal itself, but this ability hasn't been awakened yet. In our current dumbed-down, limited belief culture, it takes human beings who are marvelously awake to not only assist in repairing, but in advancing and expanding beyond former boundaries into full consciousness. We can't do it alone in the current state of mass hypnosis of not-love. We are meant to touch, to hold, to care, to love one another without restrictions that have hemmed us in with huge taboos. But we must touch, hold, care and love one another. It's not personal.
The therapist isn't the source of the healing. The therapist is skilled in working the parts because of training. What is the source of the healing? Ahhhh! Where is the love? It is inside of the person, covered over. It needs to be awakened. It needs to be remembered.
