seem slow and tired as a result, and we also know people whose overabun-
dant energy drives them to become uncontrollable in daily life. An elec-
tric toothbrush works if we give it energy in the form of electricity, and it
stops working when the energy source is removed. Slower movements of
the brush signal that the battery is close to running out. With people, the
situation is very similar.
The energy inside us affects our whole being. Our body, our thoughts,
and our consciousness are made up of energy. Body, soul, and feelings
form an indivisible whole. They are closely linked to each other through
the endocrine system, the central nervous system, and the immune sys-
tem. We recognize a lack of energy as pain, listlessness, or dullness.
At times our sexuality can bring us into contact with intense feelings,
which then have an immediate effect on our body and soul. Knowing
this, we can choose to accept our ever-more-intense feelings. We can com-
pletely give in to them, using breathing and consciousness to bring the
intense energy flow through our bodies, until we reach a point where we
have suddenly become one with the feeling, It is in this moment that an
infinitely deep and peaceful space opens up. In this space, there is no “I”
observing from the outside; we melt and become one with all that exists.
For me, this oneness is spirituality.
When we understand how the energy created by sexuality flows
through our bodies, we can support and strengthen the process in a num-
ber of ways—in particular through our breathing. With the help of par-
ticular breathing techniques (see page 75), sexual energy can be spread
across the whole body, filling us with health and vitality. When the energy
begins to flow, our hearts open and we feel happy, safe, and deeply loved.
In this state we feel strong, confident, and alive.
We cannot truly understand this process, however, until it is rooted by
experience in each cell of our bodies. Nothing can replace our experiences.
The best massage technique in the world is of no use if we forget the love
that is needed to heal our hearts and our humanity. This love leads us to new
ways of creating respectful interactions with our sexuality.
Because of my tantric yoga experience, I understand yoni massage
most completely in the light of tantric philosophy, which builds a bridge
between body and soul, and between sexuality and spirituality. Tantra
cultivates the senses to the point where we can recognize sexual strength
