What is Tantra?

"Derived from the sacred Hindu, Tantra is Sanskrit from the root word ‘tan’ which translates as “to spread, expand, weave, continue, spin-out, weave; to put forth, show or manifest”. All life and every type of energy and matter including thoughts, actions and matter are part of this energetic weave as are our ancestors." 

• "Tantra is an ancient spiritual tradition that honours the sacred union of the male and female energies. Tantra is the practice of allowing an individual to recognise their sexual nature and master their sexual energy. By exploring their sexuality, an individual is able to identify and bring to the fore limiting and restraining emotional blocks. Tantra teaches processes and techniques to heal these emotions and aid personal and spiritual growth, using the healing powers of sex and intimacy.

Tantra is fast becoming mainstream being offered by professionals and in health retreats in a similar way to Eastern Yoga and meditation of the 70's which is now common place in all cities in the western world. ​

The basic elements of Tantra

"...adding a bit of poetry into bedroom play will help you both reach your sexual potential", says WH sex expert Jacqueline Hellyer, "You know what they say about a couple who play together... "
SACRED SPACE
Your bedroom should be a beautiful environment for love and sex - make it a sanctuary and try to keep the kids out as much as possible.
SENSORY AROUSAL 
Add elements to your sex life that heighten all of the senses: music, essential oils, sexy foods, feathers and silk. And try keeping your eyes open.
TOUCH
In tantra, the focus is on the whole body, not just your genitals, so explore each other from top to toe, and resist the urge to direct.
GIVING & RECEIVING 
Complete focus and complete surrender makes for better sex. Let go of the need to do things "right".
PRESENCE 
To focus on right now, do a quick sensory check: close your eyes and tune into what you can hear, taste, smell and touch. Then open your eyes.
BREATH 
Breathe deep into your diaphragm and down into your abdomen - before, during and after sex.

Philip Millroy offers sexual healing & de-armouring sessions for individuals and couples, preceded by at least one talking session where subtle changes begin to occur around how we view and accept our bodies and ourselves, also our relationship with Self will be addressed and this is where guidelines and boundaries are discussed and established for everyone's safety. There is no expectation or pressure on you. You will always be encouraged to say NO, and you can change the direction of the session at any time. 

There are no expectations, pleasure comes in many forms. Most of the work is done on an energy level which might be intensely sensual and sexually healing or simply emotionally releasing.

No expectations... we all travel our own path....
