Many of my Tantric massage clients have been referred to this therapy by another therapist or practitioner, massage parlours in London who commented on a block that was felt in the client’s base chakra. They were told to look for a Yoni massage healing to deal with this.

In this scenario the client would normally associate this diagnosis with difficulties in sexual relations, lack of enjoyment of sex life, perhaps some fears or anxieties in intimacy.

So is Tantric massage the appropriate therapy for working with the block of the first chakra / base chakra?

In my opinion yes, it is.

In a professionally performed Tantric massage for women the whole area of the groin receives a powerful influx of positive sexual energy which has a mobilizing and healing effect. Many of my clients comment on the feeling of being awakened, coming to life in that area. Many people comment that it spreads into all areas of their life, that general feeling of aliveness.

The fist chakra / base chakra has a very strong connection to the womb. And the womb is a very important sexual centre for a woman. To make the womb alive is to unlock a very important source of energy in a woman’s being. A good Tantric massage does exactly that – awakens the womb, empowers it, brings positive energy there. All of this has a rejuvenating and refreshing effect on the first chakra / base chakra.

There is also an effect from an overall mobilization of sexual energy/Kundalini in the whole body in a Tantric massage on the first chakra / root chakra. When the woman’s whole being comes more alive sexually, it is reflected in the groin – automatically this is where sexual energy becomes focused, wherever it was originally ignited. At that point a professional Yoni massage would allow the woman to put all that energy/Kundalini to good healing use.

Last, by not least, a good Tantric massage – and in particular a Yoni massage – will allow a woman to learn how to connect with her first chakra / root chakra / base chakra properly and how to nourish it with sexual energy/Kundalini on her own. Normally, removing a block in the root chakra is not necessarily a one-off event but rather a process, and this understanding can help a woman to consolidate unblocking her base chakra on her own after a Tantric massage, and to make sure that her first chakra remains healthy and alive.
