Embark on a journey into the world of Tantra with Shiva Awakening
With Shiva Awakening, you'll learn mindfulness, sensory awareness, and self-discovery. Each session builds on the last, helping you truly absorb what you learn and deepen your experiences.
"I believe in the power of deep connection with your body, sensuality, and self. I provide a safe and supportive space, integrating somatic and spiritual practices, to guide you on your journey to healing, pleasure, and fulfilling relationships."
Through the wisdom held within your own body, I guide you on a journey into Tantra. Here, the physical form becomes a sacred vessel, a potent tool to rediscover the subtle currents of energy and the deeper landscapes of your being.
My approach is designed to awaken a profound inner experience, to spark the flame of spiritual insight, to ignite an unquenchable curiosity, and to nurture a uniquely transformative path for each individual seeker.
As you journey, you will begin to perceive yourself beyond the confines of the physical, recognizing your vibrant energetic and spiritual essence, inherently filled with meaning and purpose.
Before we explore the intricate tapestry of Tantric wisdom, it's vital to clarify what it is not. Primarily, Tantra is not simply about sex. While teachings embracing sexuality exist within its vast and encompassing framework, they do not form the foundational core of this expansive and profound system. Tantra is fundamentally a spiritual and healing practice, employing an energetically attuned and deeply sensual style of bodywork.
Upon completing this journey, you will gain the empowering knowledge to regulate your own vital energy and consciously share it with others. These sessions are designed to be experienced in sequence, each preparing the ground for the next. Once completed, individual sessions can be revisited for deeper integration and exploration.
Foundations Ceremony: Your First Step in Tantra.
My Foundations Ceremony is the prerequisite first step in this four-session journey. It's an active learning experience designed to lay the groundwork for your Tantra path, whether you're a new initiate or looking to deepen your existing practice.
In this 1:1 session with me, held in a safe, sensual, spa-like environment, I'll begin with a heart-centering attunement. I'll guide you through a ritual of light touch and deep breathing, helping you connect and open your heart, allowing you to ground into this secure space.
During this ceremony, I'll focus on cultivating conscious presence, exploring and feeling into your chakras, and awakening the energy centers within your body. I'll take time to understand you and your unique intentions. I'll also guide you to breathe deeply and surrender into the present moment, letting go of any expectations, stress, or negativity. As you release and relax, I'll gently nurture your body and guide you through the experience. You'll leave feeling both grounded and open.
Witness: Sensual Movement and Breath
The Witness session, the second step in the Tantra journey, is a dynamic experience that encourages you to move your sensual body throughout. Through breath, we cultivate awareness; through awareness, we find presence; and through presence, we discover grace and beauty. The awareness I guide you to cultivate in this session will breathe new life into your sensual energy, your physical body, and your surroundings. You'll feel a deeper connection within your own body as this dynamic session further stimulates your kundalini energy into action, assisting your ability to improve your everyday life and relationships.
When we become aware of our internal energy, it allows us to feel without immediately acting. Without this awareness, the urge to act, or "react," can feel insatiable. Moving through this feeling and into a new, heightened awareness of your energy is what we focus on in this session. Sensory perception will take on a whole new meaning for you.
You will feel invigorated as you immerse yourself in vital techniques like Pranayama, Asana, and Savasana. As you learn the dynamics of your breath, your body and mind will experience a renewed freedom.
"Prana" is the term for universal life force, and "ayama" is the term to regulate or lengthen. The physical and subtle layers of the body are nourished by the presence of breath, "pranayama," which is the energy that keeps us alive. Prana flows through the energy channels of the body, called nadis, and is transcribed by the chakras, which in turn determines one's state of mind.
Because we're not used to breathing correctly, especially under stress, this can stagnate the energy flow within the body, manifesting as fear, uncertainty, tension, conflicts, and negative qualities. Breath techniques, as I guide you, clear the nadis and the chakras, resulting in feelings of energy, positivity, and enthusiasm for life.
Now that the kundalini has begun to awaken from our first session, you will find a deeper consciousness of your body as you learn to connect further with your breath. Sensual energy will be utilized for creativity, specifically supporting the second chakra. I'll teach you to channel it and store it within your body for health and stamina. Having the ability to feel this energy build, you'll become aware of your true power, creativity, and purpose.
In this session, we practice the chakra awareness from our first session and combine it with dynamic sensual movements invoked by pranayama breath techniques.
Enlighten: The Core of Your Tantric Journey
The Enlighten session isn't an end; it's truly where your deeper journey begins. I combine the profound experiences from our first two sessions into a blissful exploration of sensual breath and magical movements. I'll guide your energy throughout your entire chakra system, helping you feel completely and divinely connected with your internal energy as Shiva and Shakti unite within you.
This session also introduces you to more sacred movements from the Kama Sutra. I believe your body is your sanctuary and should be treated as such. In this session, you'll feel your being expand as it celebrates your sacred self and helps you experience your whole body as a sensual manifestation.
Our energy often undergoes many changes and can become disorganized due to the constant dynamics in our lives. This distortion becomes centered during this powerful session as your creative energy leads you into the ebb and flow of your natural rhythm. Your mind will quiet as you allow the forces to take you on your own journey. This session helps your body understand and accept the natural life cycle of creation, preservation, destruction, reorganization, and recreation.
I will move around you effortlessly, bringing my full attention to your being, as I lead you to complete centeredness and contentment.
Bliss: Your Divine Culmination
The Bliss session represents the powerful zenith of your Tantra journey. During this extraordinary experience, I'll personally guide you through a profound and mutual exchange of energy with me. Prepare to awaken to a new level of insightful awareness as you fully immerse yourself in the timeless essence of Divine energy. This session transcends description, and I can only characterize it as utterly heavenly.
Here, you'll discover a deep, innate balance between giving and receiving. I'll facilitate your participation in the reciprocal transfer of the universal life force that flows through us all. Together, we'll uncover the intrinsic harmony residing in the union of your masculine and feminine energies, finally enabling you to truly surrender and embrace a mystical connection unlike any you've known.
Expect to feel:
-
Intensely Relaxing
-
Insanely Blissful
-
Intuitively Powerful
While Bliss marks a magnificent peak in our program, it's crucial to understand that culmination isn't an end, but rather a pinnacle of growth. Just as creation is in constant evolution and energy is timeless, so are you. I warmly invite you to revisit any Tantra sessions you've already experienced; repetition is a fundamental key to deepening your learning and integration. Each time, your experience will be unique, and the more you allow yourself to truly savor each moment, the more profound your journey will become, leading to even greater self-awareness.
Always remember: your sensual self is limitless, knowledge is power, and there's an exhilarating desire in the unknown.
