How to practice the tantric massage 

Tantric massage has three phases which are progressively released.

Initially, all the channels of the body are freed to let the energy flow well: the arms, legs, back are massaged, and then move on to the chest, belly and, in some techniques, the private parts .

During the massage, you must live the present moment without distractions , focusing on the breath, the whole hand must be in contact with the partner’s body, the movements must be fluid, continuous and delicate , the hands must slide on the skin following the curves of the body and breath must be deep and relaxed.

The environment for tantric massage

The practice requires a warm and welcoming environment.

It is necessary to make the partner lie down on a soft surface , with a background of relaxing music. The light should preferably be natural , like a candle for example, and take place in a place that conveys the feeling of welcome .

The most suitable oils for Tantra massage are coconut , basil , sage , sandalwood , cinnamon, lavender , mint , pine and  rosemary oils .
