Sensual Seattle

Tantra and Sensual Reiki sessions have been traditionally used to introduce couples and individuals to the philosophy and practice of these mystic arts. The sessions are intimate, sensual, and enlightening. Many Tantric professionals focus on techniques that need to be practiced and mastered. Our focus is less on technique and more on awakening and integrating. This makes our Tantra and Sensual Reiki sessions completely different than anything you may have experienced before.

When you arrive we will greet you in sarongs and invite you to wear one as well. Undressing from street clothes is symbolic of leaving the physical world with cell phones, computers, and other distractions behind. Undressing and donning a light garment establishes a freedom, not to escape but to enter the "real" world.

Our minimal ceremony includes herbal teas, sparkling water, washing your feet, and anointing them with an essential oil or blend. This is the consultation or discussion portion of the session and a great time to discuss spiritual aspects, your personal issues, expectations, fears, and the relationship between sensuality, religion, and spirituality.

Following the discussion or consultation you are ushered into the session room and invited to lie face down on the altar.

There is no discussion in the session space, all discussion is held before and after the session. This is to create a sacred space during the session and to enhance the body based intent of the session. Discussion engages the separate mind, in the session the mind is embraced as a part of the whole, not a separate part. If one of our guests initiates a request or begins a conversation in the session room, the process is usually interrupted and the practitioner might leave the room.

The session starts with a Reiki sweep of your entire body, the intent of which is to open the energy channels and encourage the cells of your body to awaken to the sensation of the flow of life from within you. Your practitioner usually begins at the crown of the head and works toward the feet, or from your feet and works up to your head. Following the Reiki sweep the light touch begins, a gentle use of hands and fingers to caress every inch of your skin sense with the lightest of touch.

Different textures are used, such as hair, sometimes feathers,often breath, in addition to hands and fingers. Often the practitioner uses more of the body in contact with yours, like forearms, and chest. Different temperatures are experienced to further enhance the awakening of the skin sense as an organ of perception.

Your practitioner is very open to the flow of life at this point and may use breath and even lighter touch to enhance the sensuality and establish a deeper connection. As your body enters a natural meditative state you will begin to sense what it feels like to be in the present moment. This sense can continue far past the session and into your work and recreation, relationships and even your sense of self. Your body will learn this meditative state and be able to enter it during stressful moments that arise in your life.

For the oil part of the session there is a short ritual using a very special anointing oil, a recipe dating from the time of Moses, infused with rare mineral crystals, that is used on the sacrum as the warm oil is readied. Then the highest quality, cold pressed, organic apricot seed oil, warmed in water, is used for this part of the session. Your practitioner begins to spread the oil lightly over the back of the whole body and the touch deepens depending on the nature of your response.

A second practitioner will then prepare the warm, moist towels and will bring them into the room. The warm towels are used to vary temperature and to remove the excess oils from the back of the body, further stimulating the tactile senses. The warmth of the towels tends to sink into the muscles allowing you to further relax. You are now invited to turn over.

Your practitioner begins again with a Reiki sweep of the whole body, carefully placing hands above or lightly on all the energy channels and other key places on the front of the body. A similar sequence of light touch, more body contact, breath, and hair to awaken the skin sense continues. Often an emphasis is placed on integrating the full body into the experience with long, focused, sweeping strokes. The energy rises and an experience of full body integration is usually present and deepens the trancelike, meditative state.

We are all expressions of the universe and your practitioner is trained to acknowledge and recognize the sense of the magic of the life energies within you. As this essential nature is recognized, you are reminded of it as the same time. This is a powerful life experience and a religious epiphany for many.

This is the first stages of the Tantric experience, relaxing into and embracing whatever is experienced, rather than desiring a transition. The practitioner will begin to use the same warm oil to deepen the pressure and connection and continue to use long, flowing, integrating strokes. These strokes serve to open, develop, and integrate the energy channels allowing a free flow of life energy through the body.

The experience of Sensual Reiki is one to receive. The experience of the meditative trance and relaxing into the energy is a totally different life experience.

As the experience is multi sensory there are well placed mirrors on the walls of the session room, you are encouraged to use these to visualize the session.

The candle light, the soft flowing music, the practitioners body moving around you, the touch of skin, hair, and breath, the pheromones that permeate the air, the proximity and relationship to you on the altar, are all part of the sensations of the entire experience.
