FAQ

These are some questions I have been asked by my students. Please feel free to e-mail me if your questions are not found here.



 "What is a Dakini?"

Dakini is a Sanskrit word that is similar to our concept of "angel" - she is a female or feminine aspect of divine energy that is imbued with wisdom, compassion and healing powers.  The term generally translated means "space-goer," "celestial woman," or "cloud fairy".

There are various kinds of Dakinis. In the Hindu tradition, one type of Dakini would use her supernatural powers to help carry the souls of the dead to Heaven.  The Dark Goddess, sometimes seen as the Hindu Goddess Kali, helps to rid the soul of ego attachments.  My manifestation is of the "White Dakini".  I am here to help you learn to transmute your lust into love and compassion, which then frees you to pursue the path of Enlightenment.


In Chinese, a similar meaning is preserved in K'ung-hsing fo-mu.

In Tibetan, the word for Dakini is khandro (spelled mKha-gro-ma.)

Dakinis live in the realm of emptiness which manifests on Earth as ether or sky.  The spiritual connotation of "emptiness" means that there is no thought, no form, no mind, no body...  However, there is the ability to manifest the unmanifested in ways that meet the needs of sentient beings.

Dakinis are also viewed as "emanations of Enlightened Mind.  This also implies that she is one who "holds the bodhisattva commitment." This means that the wish for enlightenment is not for one's self alone, but for the benefit of all sentient beings.

The root meaning, Dak, means "to beckon with sound," i.e.. to call or knock.  This means that those who come do so because they able to hear the sound of the Divine calling his or her name.  (If you're reading this, God is calling you, Beloved...)


"What is the difference between Tantra Massage and Regular Massage?"
Tantra massage is a full body massage that taps into every sensorial element including hearing, taste, touch, sight, smell and intuition. Every part of the physical body, from feet to scalp, is massaged in very specific ways that aide to unblock the meridians and increase the circulation of Chi throughout the body.
 


The Tantra Massage utilizes specific techniques aimed to gently activate and then channel Kundalini energy into the upper body for healing and growth. The raw energy is usually locked below the navel. You will be taught and then coached to breathe into the higher energy centers of the body, such as the heart, throat and head, where this energy will be transmuted into expanded consciousness, compassion, well being and healing. Because the massage produces intense stimulation, I teach you a technique to control your level of arousal.


General massage assists in boosting the immune center and
relieving stress and pain. Tantric massage goes much further in helping a person be more directive or conscious in utilizing the power of this sacred jing or Kundalini energy for spiritual growth as well as health and emotional stability.


"What is the purpose of your service, especially with couples?"
My intent is to help people tap into the underutilized reservoir of pure love that is stored in the heart chakra by raising the Kundalini (raw sex energy) through a combination of breath and posture techniques. I also receive joy in witnessing men and women fall in love again and it is my hope that my work will help reunite the fire of passion for couples. My background is in Taoist sexology and Tantra Yoga, in addition to couples and marital therapy. My sessions for couples are individually designed and may include things like body work (Tantric style massage), practice and coaching in sex technique, etc. Please know that my philosophy towards sex and intimacy is that these practices are very sacred. All of my sessions are safe and kept in strict confidence.
There is no sexual intercourse between myself and any of my students.  I am a coach and a therapist. I educate and teach individuals and couples technique and guide them through practice during private sessions.


"Are you physically manipulating the penis/vagina?"
I teach singles and couples the techniques of yoni and lingam massage so that they can provide this needed healing for themselves. The techniques that I utilize deal with the delicate areas of the body and are noninvasive. They include sound and visualization as well as gentle massage.


"Why is Lingam and Yoni massage a healing technique?"
For men, excess masturbation, sexual trauma and injury causes the desensitization of the lingam (penis). This results in the lingam's inability to properly register the more subtle and refined sexual sensations during lovemaking or self-pleasure. This, then, contributes to some of the reasons why men "bang" women - the male lover can't feel his penis or her vagina without excessive pressure. The lingam massage helps to realign the structural energies of that area and teaches the male to submit to more subtle and refined touch. I also teach my male client ejaculatory control, as the goal of our work together is not for him to release, but to heal and balance his body/mind. Through practice and discipline, he will eventually learn to have more powerful internal orgasms, or injaculation.

Lingam massage is quite different from a "hand job" where the goal is to simply cause arousal and ejaculation. I follow teachings of Taoism and were it is believed that men die or lose chi everytime they ejaculate. I prefer that men retrain their bodies to extend life and enhance health. I teach you how to respect the lingam, which is the Sacred Temple of the masculine aspect of God.  I have the deepest respect as I approach these practices with you and together, we bring into awareness, the power of the Divine the lies within You.

Many women become desensitized because of sexual abuse, surgery, child bearing or other trauma to the womb and vaginal cavity. This contributes to frigidity, sexual frustration or sex addiction, blocks in the first and second chakra, as well as the throat.  Energy blocks then manifest as thyroid disorders, throat cancers, and cancer or disease of the uterus and surrounding tissue. Regular massage of the yoni will correct potential problems. (I receive yoni massage from my lover as a part of my well-care regiment and I have personally experienced the healing benefits.)


"Regarding the Sacred Love Sessions', how do you determine what is included in the private couple's session?"
I do an observational and an energetic assessment. I watch how the two of you interact with each other...how you touch, kiss, caress, look into each other eyes, etc.  Your ability to be free with one another will reflect itself in these movements.  If, for example, I notice awkwardness or rigidity in your body responses, then I will design ways for you to break through these barriers and free yourselves from these illusionary feelings of inhibition. I am very intuitive and often do not know until I meet the couple what will unfold. I create a safe and sacred space for us to explore together what will be the best training for you both.
