Many people ask me what Tantra and Tantra massage are. These two terms should not be confused. Tantra is a way of life, a life approach, a philosophy lived out in practice, a spiritual path. It teaches us to live our life fully, to be present, to accept what is, to accept life in its wholeness and to say yes to it. To say yes to living on this planet, to say yes to having a body, to say yes to its fragility, its mortality and its sexuality. To be grateful for all we have and to strive to become a better self every day through every thought, every decision, every action.

​

In Western society the sexual part is very much taken out of the holistic view, so sometimes people in the West tend to think it is about sex and sexuality. But the truth is that it is more about accepting sexuality as part of who we are, connecting with this powerful sexual energy within us and learning how to use it for the benefit of ourselves and the whole world. I would say that Western society takes the sexual part out of context because it is very traumatised and very sexually traumatised and frustrated. Our sexual energy and its expressions have been suppressed for centuries, people have been persecuted, shamed, tortured, burned alive...

​

This has resulted in people not living a happy sexuality, and even today very few people do. Because there is still so much taboo and so much shame and guilt and because the trauma is so deep. It is much better than it used to be, but the dark history of sexual violence, repression and abuse follows us and is still present and is hindering our progress and healing.
