Tantra Massage — Therapy or Taboo
Most people are unclear about what tantra massage really is and what it can do for them. The original article appeared in the Journal of the Australian Association of Massage Therapists.

Jade Lotus Tantra Massage in the Media
The Metro News Melbourne feature that introduced the Jade Lotus method to a mainstream readership.

Practices

Breathing in Tantra Massage
The seven breaths of tantra are the engine of the whole practice. They move energy deliberately rather than letting it pool.

The Lotus in Tantra Massage
The lotus is the emblem of the programme for a reason: it opens slowly, from the mud upward, and does not force its own timing.

Chakra Affirmations
Affirmation is a simple way to keep the chakra work present between sessions. Say them quietly, without strain, and let the body answer.

Tantric Dance
Movement is one of the oldest tantric practices. Dance loosens the body's habits of holding, and makes the energy that the breath has awakened available to the whole system.

Tantric Kissing
Tantric kissing slows down the exchange of energy at the mouth — the meeting point between breath, speech and desire.

Yoga for Couples
Partner yoga prepares the body for tantric work: it opens the hips and the chest, and it teaches two people to breathe in the same rhythm.

Yoni Massage
Yoni massage is the tantric approach to female sexual healing — slow, deliberate, and focused on releasing held tension rather than on achieving an outcome.

For Couples & Individuals

Tantra for Couples
A couples session is two hours, held in the same temple rooms, with both partners guided through the work together.

Couples Tantra Course
The couples course runs the full foundational programme over consecutive sessions, with both partners present throughout.

Tantra Massage for Couples
Learning to give a tantra massage is the fastest route to understanding it. The role reversal sessions exist for exactly that reason.

Monogamy and Tantra
Tantra is often assumed to be a departure from commitment. In practice, most of the people who come to the temple rooms are in long-term relationships and want to bring something back to them.

Lesbian Tantra
The Jade Lotus programme is offered to women, and to couples of every orientation. Sessions are held in the same temple rooms, with the same structure and the same discretion.

Premature Ejaculation and Tantra
Ejaculation control is taught in the first session of the programme, and it is the result clients most often mention afterwards.

The Institute

Practitioner Training
Training in the Jade Lotus method is offered to practitioners in Australia and overseas, including staff at day spas adding the work to their treatment menu.

Tantra as Therapy
Somatic work reaches places that talking therapies struggle to reach, because it works with the body's own memory rather than with its account of itself.

The Tantra College
The teaching arm of the National Institute of Tantra — playshops, workshops and practitioner courses across Australia and overseas.

Training in Turkey
Jade Lotus Tantra is established in Istanbul, where practitioner training has been running since 2009.

Jade Lotus Photography
Fine art and intimate portraiture, photographed in the same temple rooms where the sessions are held.

Crystal Gallery
Crystals, oils and temple objects used in the rooms, gathered over years of practice.

Daylesford
Daylesford and Hepburn Springs, an hour and a half from Melbourne, is where many of our clients go to extend the work into a weekend.
