The Module 1 will cover the following areas:
WHAT MAKES A MASSAGE TANTRIC?
It is not only a sensually pleasing setting, but also more importantly an attitude: of respect, of honouring: to work with energy and consciousness, to touch the spirit through the body. We create the experience that the body is the temple of the spirit, discovering and honouring the god in each man, the goddess within each woman. We manifest spirit on earth through the physical body experiencing itself as a vehicle for the energy body. Tantra massage works with the energy body and is an initiation into our nature as energy beings, divine beings of fire and light. This initiation or revelation is the true purpose of our sexual energy, the longing to merge with something bigger and more beautiful than our egos.
THE PATH OF TOUCH:
Touch is a vital form of nourishment and affirmation, and sensual massage a way of communicating non-verbally and directly. To receive a Tantra massage is to be initiated into tantric experience and tantric consciousness. Often Tantra massage can be the first contact with energy and the energy body and the potential of expanding sexual energy into the whole body. On the path of touch, you learn to give these massage initiations, whether privately to a partner or professionally to clients. At The Paths of Transformation, we teach and transmit a wide breadth of Tantra and erotic massage, together with an understanding of presence and different kinds of touch, both physical and energetic.
Sequences of techniques that form a developmental series of deepening initiations are shared, which can be used with a lover to go deep into intimacy, or as a professional to open the first door into Tantra for your clients.

AWAKENING ENERGY
Following the ideas of both Wilhelm Reich and traditional tantric teachings about kundalini, before releasing sexual excitement and power, we open the body to allow the channels of the body to allow the life energy to expand. A pleasurable healing massage gently removes tensions that block this flow and make us afraid of our own energy, power and pleasure. Opening the channels of the spine, we begin with Reichian massage of the spine to experience the muscles of the spine as channels for energy flow rather than as the place where we hold back from life. We bring the spine back into alignment by softening the tense muscles that break it up into isolated segments. Then the kundalini massage enables us to open up the energy channels in the spine, ida, pingala and sushumna, creating a balance between left and right, masculine and feminine energies in the body, and inviting the streamings of life energy to flow through the spine. Opening the meridians energizes the whole body and prepares it for a balanced and pleasurable flow of fire and water. The experience of energy flowing through our physical body enables us to realize that we are more than just a physical being: we are a point of consciousness becoming aware of itself as art of the life flow of the universe. This awareness of our connectedness to life and energy is the alchemy of ecstasy – standing outside ourselves.

MODULE 2: THE MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS OF SEXUAL HEALING
The Module 2 will cover the following areas:
OPENING AND CONNECTING SEX, HEART AND SPIRIT
In this Module we use deep massage to release the sexual energy that is held by habit and unconscious fear or shame in the form of tension in the muscles of the pelvis and thighs, especially the pelvic floor muscle. But first we use chest, arm and diaphragm massage to open the heart to accept and love our excitement, and cranial and neck massage to reduce the resistance of our minds and moral judgments and enable us to be simply aware of our excitement and pleasure without judging or analyzing it.
OPENING THE MIND:
• Elements of Indian and native American head massage
• Jade gate massage
• Reichian neck massage
OPENING THE HEART:
• Taoist heart opening sequence
OPENING THE SEX:
• Deep pelvic massage
CONNECTING THE THREE CENTERS:
• Awakening the sacred body
• Opening the segments and dolphin wave
• Joint release and splitting the body
MASSAGE FOR SEXUAL HEALING:
We continue the deep pelvic work with a healing massage for the perineum, the first chakra, and for the pelvic floor muscle around the anus, together with the two sphincter muscles. For men, this enables us to massage the prostate both indirectly via the perineum (external prostate point) and directly through the anus. Tension in the first chakra creates a base of fear and struggle, which when healed and relaxed becomes a base of pleasure and openness, bringing more flexibility to the character. The anus has many pleasure nerves, and it can be reclaimed as an important source of erotic energy.
YONI AND VAJRA HEALING
The next step is a healing massage of yoni (the vagina) and of the vajra or lingam (penis). The massage is done with the intent of healing, that is to make contact with whatever is there as energy in the sexual organ. This cannot happen when there is an expectation of arousal. Any pain, insensitivity or negative experiences from the past can be released so that the genitals become open for a deep, relaxed excitement.

MODULE 3
THE DYNAMICS OF PLEASURE & THE ENERGY BODY
_____________________________________

______________________________________
We will teach techniques from different traditions for the massage of yoni and vajra for pleasure and excitement. The emphasis is on the relaxation into the energy to allow the pleasure to expand beyond the pelvis and through the diaphragm to allow the sexual energy to expand into the heart and then through the jade gate into the brain. We will also teach the expanded sexual orgasm technique of balancing the plus and minus poles of sexuality to achieve plateau orgasm and an extended state of expanded consciousness. For women we will explore not only G-spot massage but also other erogenous zones inside yoni and the science of yoni reflexology, both for pleasure and for healing. For men, we explore techniques for being in choice with their ejaculation and how the masseuse can guide and influence the path of non-ejaculation. We will also teach the typology of vajra and yoni in both quodoushka and Hindu traditions, and the theme of female ejaculation.
THE ENERGY BODY
The next step is to teach the client how to expand the energy from the whole body into the energy body. This is the most important step into Tantra proper, using the sexual excitement to access the experience of the energy body. We will explore how to teach the energy movement of contraction and expansion including the technique of the big draw, and massages of the energy body both within and beyond the physical body. We will also teach four handed massage, both to encourage surrender and a complete letting go, as well as for harmonizing and balancing the energy body.

We will learn and practice a programme of massages that take a client from being motivated largely by the desire for sexual relief into a full experience of the tantric energy. This program offers a variety of massage experiences moving into different levels and creates a series of initiations deeper and deeper into the essence of Tantra, an understanding of sacred sex and of the energy body. The client is encouraged to be less and less the passive recipient of a massage and more and more an active participant through breathing techniques and energy body movements.
Earth: expanding genital pleasure into whole body pleasure, moving from stimulation to sensitivity
Fire: from physical body pleasure to energy body pleasure
Air: breathing to fan the fire and open the heart
Water: letting go
Spirit: the body as your temple
Sacred sex: entering the ecstatic dreamtime
In addition, this module will cover how to set up a Tantra massage practice, code of ethics, promotion, legal matters, dealing with customers, finances, personal safety and boundaries, hygiene, insurance and other relevant themes.
