Tantric massage
A hybrid mix between the esoteric traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism, combining and the teachings of (amongst others) Wilhelm Reich, Carl Jung and Annie Sprinkle, tantra came to mean a sacred sexuality, harmonising the female and male energy, yin and yang, spirit and matter, capable of elevating its participants to a higher spiritual plane. Essential in the massage is breathing, for as Annie Sprinkle said: ‘Breathing is life. Many of us breathe only enough to survive but not to live fully.’
