I guess the majority of us have heard about Tantric sex and massage. Had anyone asked me what it was exactly I would have giggled shyly and muttered something about gentle touching, feathers, massage and no orgasm. How wrong I was.

Tantric massage is basically just a massage. However it was created from the belief that if you are sexually happy and relaxed then your health will benefit. The Hindus describe Tantra as achieving personal growth through pleasurable existence. The massage itself does tend to cause orgasms, but these are described as a bonus rather than the aim.

Although Tantric massage does not involve actual penetrative sex, it does involve full on touching of the organs. For this reason you will not find it offered down your local health centre. You are far more likely to find it on offer in the many massage parlours in London and other major cities.

If you want to have a go with her or him indoors here is a pretty basic guide to Tantric massage.

Firstly, from this point on, your manhood is referred to as Lingam (wand of light – don’t be thinking light sabre it’s not that big!) .

If you are visiting somewhere for your massage you need to decide in advance whether you will be getting naked or not. Proper Tantric masseur prefer you to be naked, they believe this helps the healing process all over your body. If you are shy you can choose to keep some clothes on, I am guessing you will want to cover your Lingam .

The massage itself involves every part of the body, although I guess the Lingam area will receive more than its fair share of attention. The massaging of the body is to help prepare the receiver for the attention you will be paying their genitals.

Lingam Massage

Get to lay back on the bed with a pillow under his head to enable him to see what you are doing. Put a pillow under his hips and spread his legs with his knees bent. His Lingam must be completely exposed. Begin as before by gently massaging all over his body, avoiding this area for a while. This allows him to become completely relaxed and prepared for the touching of the Lingam. Pour a small amount of oil over his shaft and testicles and begin gently massaging his testicles. Next massage the area on the pubic bone above the Lingam. Massage the area between his testicles and his anus (perineum). Moving on to the Lingam, gently grasp the base with your right hand and move up the shaft and then remove your hand, repeat with the left hand. Do this for some time, then change to grasping the Lingam at the top, slide down the shaft and remove your hand, replace with the left and repeat this process. The head of the Lingam is very sensitive and deserves special attention. Massage it in a circular motion. Don’t worry if the Lingam goes soft, it will shortly perk up again. Likewise if your partner seems to be on the brink of orgasm, back off and encourage deep breathing.

I will keep bringing you close to orgasm and then back off. This is not a method of torture, it helps you to control their ejaculation and therefore achieve longer and more pleasurable orgasms. Whilst continuing to massage your Lingam, I can search for Your sacred spot. This is located between his testicles and his anus. It is a small indentation about the size of a pea. If you massage here and gently increase the pressure you may well feel uncomfortable at first. Applying pressure here will help you gain control of your orgasms in future. If you are nearing ejaculation I can apply pressure here and this will increase the intensity of your orgasm.

The end of the massage is signalled by an intense ejaculation . I

Flying takes a lot out of people for various reasons. A fear of flying could have you tense the whole time and a mess by the time you arrive. Just the process of a long flight will dehydrate anyone. If you are flying through a drastic time zone switch, your body is not prepared for it and you are off the whole time you are there and of course when you get back. Here are a few tips to get through all of that and more.

If flying stresses you out, you need to find a way to relax while you are flying so you don’t arrive at your destination exhausted. It may be as simple as getting a prescription to help you relax on the flight or going through some therapy to alleviate the stress. You have to get on that plane relaxed or you are dooming yourself to be dead tired the moment you get off the plane.

If you are switching time zones, adapt your body to that zone before you ever get on the plane. Maybe you are flying from the East Coast to the West Coast. Sleep in a little bit longer that day and take a nap on the plane. This will enable you to treat your day out West just like you would in the East. Make sure you stay up until your normal bed time after you have landed and you can beat the lag. When you get up the next day, expose yourself to sunlight and do an activity that will get that blood pumping as soon as you wake up. You can fool your body into thinking that nothing has ever changed. Reverse the process when you get back East but make sure you do the same thing the next morning so you never miss a beat.

Flying dehydrates everyone. You are breathing pure oxygen for an extended period of time your body is going to be drained. Knowing that going in, treat it like an athletic event and make sure you are well hydrated days before you fly. Load up on fluids and drink plenty of fluids on the plane. Once you land, continue to re-hydrate until after you get back home.

The key to beating jet lag is that your body always has to feel as though nothing has changed. If you are on a short trip, you may keep as much as possible to your normal schedule. For instance, you have dinner at 8:00pm, have dinner at 5:00pm out west that night. Prepare your body for the trip by making sure there are no radical changes, keep yourself hydrated and make sure you keep your sleeping patterns and you can recover from jet lag in no time at all.

There is a jet lag remedy; or it is better to say that there are precautionary measures that need to be taken so as to avoid or reduce the severity of jet lag. Here are some tips:

• You should sleep adequately prior to flight.
• Make sure that you eat something light and solid before and during the flight.
• Drink enough water and fluids during the flights and try to avoid alcohol, even if it feels good.
• Try to sleep during flight, or at least relax as much as possible.
• Try to stretch and exercise a little when you arrive to your destination.
• Go for a long walk when you arrive; being outside, exposed to the atmosphere of the new place can always help, because you help your body become familiar with the new zone and environment faster.
• Try to avoid getting involved into a stressful situation right away; if you are travelling for business purposes it is better to give yourself at least one day to relax and adjust to the new time zone. If you are a leisure traveller just take it easy and enjoy.
• And the best point could be getting a full body relaxing massage with your masseur!

If nothing else, massage just feels good. It feels good to get, and believe or not, it feels good to give it as well. Massage therapists are known to find a sense of calm themselves when giving a massage.

Massage therapy is now being recognized as an effective natural means to alleviate more of the ailments that appear as a result of today’s style of living. Whether undertaken for relaxation or a natural remedy for an ailment, anyone who is discovering how to give a massage to family or friends will no doubt want to create an experience that is closely akin to that which is offered by a professional masseur.

The first part of the therapy is to inquire as to the health of the person in order to be fully aware of any conditions or issues that should prevent then from receiving such therapy. It is important to take this seriously and to be fully aware of the acknowledged list of contraindications that require to be adhered to.

Depending on the actual massage that has been requested, the person should be asked to remove the appropriate amount of clothes and you need to ensure that there is a sufficient number of towels to cover both the person and the massage table or surface. The person who is administering the therapy has an essential role to play in creating the correct ambiance to make the other person feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible, which includes ensuring only the part of the body that is being worked on should be exposed at anytime.

In order to create the correct mood within the room you should ensure that it is adequately heated or ventilated plus how about offering the person the option to have some soothing mood music to listen to? This will assist the person to relax both physically and mentally. A very important matter is the need to understand exactly what the person is seeking from the massage, why they are having it and whether this can be administered in a relaxing or stimulating method. And don’t forget to continue to administer that very style of massage technique throughout the session.

Don’t forget that to provide a great massage the use of oils is essential. They assist in the warming up of the muscles and to improve the movement and uninterrupted flow of your hands whilst administering the therapy. It is important to understand that when using massage oils, the amount used should not be too much plus also the use of fragrance within the oils can be part of the experience and can facilitate the relaxation process for the person.

People will require various types of massage for particular areas of the body such as their back and neck or facial and head areas, or a massage that will provide therapy to their whole body. In order to provide a great experience, it is important to keep yourself fully abreast of the techniques used by the professionals when administering massage so you can provide a massage that will exceed peoples expectations.

Throughout history, humans have employed the art of massage as a means towards greater relaxation and health. The cultures which we regard as the foundations of our civilization including Rome, medieval China and Japan, India, Greece, and even ancient Egypt, all practiced forms of massage. In addition, many cultures which have not traditionally been considered “civilized” have used massage in many different applications.

Today, the benefits of massage and massage therapy are well known, and have in fact been documented in peer reviewed medical research. This means that the best minds in the medical field endorse massage and massage therapy in a number of different situations.

Just what are the situations in which massage therapy may be called for? Let’s take a look at some common occurrences which may lead you to seek massage therapy.

An Injury:

For many, massage therapy is a key component in their road to recovery after sustaining an injury. Whether the injury in question was a pulled muscle or a broken bone, increasing levels of massage as healing takes place can greatly aid the process.

Pain Relief:

Many people suffer from chronic pains, although those pains do not occur due to a past injury. The pains may be in the form of migraine headaches or joint inflammation, incurred through age or environment.

In these cases, the pressure applied through different types of massage can greatly alleviate the amount of suffering a person is feeling. Massage appears to both dull the intensity of pain during treatment and reduce the level of pain when it re-occurs. Sometimes, massage therapy can rid the patient of specific chronic pain altogether.

Stress Relief:

Perhaps the best known massage applications is in the reduction of stress on the individual patient. Massage’s traditional application has been in the form of a relaxant, allowing the pressure of life to drift away amidst pressures placed on the physical form of the patient.

As stress is a factor in the everyday life of every human, stress reduction is the most widespread application of massage therapy. Massage has been proven not only to reduce stress but also to alleviate stress induced symptoms on both the physical and mental levels.

Why Does Massage Therapy Work?

While the benefits of massage have been proven at almost every level that matters to science (the one exception being double blind experiments, as one involving massage is impossible to design), the question of why massage works remains a mystery. Multiple theories exist that suggest why massages are effective in so many circumstances. It may activate an increased blood flow, improve sleep, release endorphins, or any number of other potentially beneficial reactions within the body.

Getting a massage is a good way to reduce these types of stresses. But there are different types of massages. How do I know which one is right for me? Let’s look at a few types of massages:

A)    Swedish massage is basically the typical kneading, squeezing and pushing type movements over the muscles.

B)   Light massage is basically a gentle massage. This is a great one for beginners because your body isn’t use to the types of pressures and sensations that a massage can bring

C)   A relaxed massage will typically be the same as a Swedish massage but much lighter. You may even fall asleep with this type of massage.

D)   Esalen massive was created in California. It involves many long and flowing type strokes.

There are many more types of massages, but the Swedish style is most common. There are many reasons to get a massage but releasing stress and tension will definitely help improve your happiness and life quality.

My Style of massage is a mixture of erotic and sensual massage.

Massage is the kneading and stroking of the body’s soft tissues – the skin AND the muscles – with varying degrees of pressure. It has long been incorporated into a number of traditional health systems such as Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine.

Generally, there are 2 types of massage and the benefits of each can be different; gentle and strong.

Gentle massage affects the nervous system through nerve endings in the skin, stimulating the release of endorphins, the body’s natural ‘feel good’ chemicals, to help induce relaxation and a sense of well being, to relieve pain and reduce levels of stress chemicals such as cortisol and noradrenaline. It helps reverse the damaging effects of stress by slowing heart rate, respiration and metabolism and lowering raised blood pressure.

Stronger massage stimulates blood circulation to improve the supply of oxygen and nutrients to body tissues and helps the lymphatic system to flush away waste products. It eases tense knotted muscles and stiff joints, improving mobility and flexibility. Many of today’s health problems can benefit from massage therapy because the manipulation of soft tissues affects so many of our bodily systems.

Prolonged periods of stress can subconsciously affect many systems of the body. Stress has been shown to aggravate, or even cause, such problems as heart disease, gastrointestinal disorders, memory loss and decreased immune function. Massage therapy is one of the best antidotes for stress. Massage boosts the body’s immune system, which can become compromised from extended periods of stress.

Tension can build up in the muscles, causing a decrease in circulation and nutrient delivery to tissues. Manipulation of the soft tissue decreases muscular tension, increases removal of metabolic waste and promotes nutrient delivery to healing tissue. With a therapeutic massage, stress can be significantly reduced. This, in turn, will increase energy, improve your outlook on life, and in the process boost your immune system function.

As you can see, massage is not just a luxury anymore, it’s a better way to healthier living! If nothing else, massage just feels good. It feels good to get, and believe or not, it feels good to give it as well. Massage therapists are known to find a sense of calm themselves when giving a massage.

Massage Therapy is the most used type of complimentary and alternative medicine in hospitals and rehabilitation centers today. Nursing professionals use massage therapy to help with the relief of pain and to assist patients with sleeping. Oils are used in massage therapy to enhance the massage experience with its therapeutic effect.

Essential oils should not be used in its undiluted form on the skin because it can cause severe irritations or allergic reactions, it should be mixed with a carrier which is usually a vegetable base oil. Some common carrier oils used in massage therapy are Almond oil which helps with softening and lubricating dry skin. Avocado oil can be used on irritated skin, it has a lot of vitamins and can be used as a mild sunscreen. Olive oil contains a lot of protein and vitamins, absorbs rapidly into the skin and used in the treatment of muscular pains.

A back massage is a great way to help reduce stress and muscle tension from a family member, friend or loved one. Not everyone is a trained professional when it comes to this though, so it’s important to keep some techniques in mind when giving a massage. You don’t want to hurt the recipient who you’re supposed to be helping out. Use the following advice sparingly, and make sure to always check with the person who is getting the massage if it’s too much for them.

Most people like to get a back massage so let’s talk about how you do it. Have the recipient lay face down on a bed or table that is comfortable. Put a little bit of massage oil lubricant on their back, and rub down their back with both hands. Use a firm, yet gentle approach, then rub your hands back up towards the neck. Use kneading movements near the top of the shoulders, mid back and buttocks area to loosen tight muscles. You can work out knots or troublesome hard areas of the back, neck or shoulders using your thumbs or fingers. Try circular movements on the back which also can be relaxing.

Make sure to go easy when giving someone a massage as you want to help them relieve stress and muscle tension, rather than hurt them. Most massage experts or professionals will tell you to use your feet positioning for more power while applying your hands to the back for a rubdown. Of course many people like to say they give great massages, and while that may be true, nothing will beat the work done by a true massage professional.

In applying holistic healing to your life, you must take a holistic approach in treatment of problematic imbalances. Holistic products are also using when you want a balanced life. The difference between alternative medicine and holistic medicine is that focusing on your physical health is not the main point.

Essential oils play a large role in holistic living. Here we will discuss the many different aspects of essential oils.

An essential oil classified as a carrier oil is an all natural method of aromatherapy. These oils are organic and can be used topically. How you ration the oil depends on your application method of choice.

Let’s look at synergy oil. This oil has 90% essential oil within it and only 10% of carrier oil. Massage oils contain synergy oils in them. Most of these synergy oils are applied very sparingly. Only the massage oil is applied more heavily.

There are different body cleansers that remove waste from your body by use of negative and positive electrical current. You soak your feet in water with an ionizer for about 30 minutes. The water changes color depending on how many toxins are in your body.
