From Woman to Woman
Background information for the yoni massage

The Yoni-Massage technique originates primarily from
Chinese Taoism, which is very much influenced by Tantra.
Both emphasise on the relationship between sexuality and
spirituality.

Taosm is the oldest known science of life. It is based on eight
columns, which all deal with a different aspect of life. The Tao
of sexuality entails the discovery and praxis of sexual
behaviour. It is all about the use of sexuality and sexual energy
in order to improve our health, to harmonise and to gain
heightened awareness.

Tantra cultivates the senses to become able to recognise
sexual power and to use it: from the depths of our being to the
effects of our sexual actions on others and on the entire
cosmos, which we are connected to. It’s about recognising the
divine principle of Shiva in the man and the divine female
principle of Shakti in the woman.

This kind of yoni massage was formulated by Annie Sprinkle -
a Tantra-masseuse from America. Due to the intensive
experiences I've had with my women's research group
"Drachenspur", I've modified the formula where it seemed
appropriate.


Energetical processes during the yoni massage
(from „Die Kunst der sexuellen Ekstase“ by Margo Anand)

During the yoni massage a lot of energy is built up, which
consciously leads to transformation and mind expansion.
Margo Anand, tantrist and founder of the Sky Dancing Tantra,
and us as well work, in terms of sexual energy, with the image
of an inner flute. This “inner flute“ runs in a vertical line inside
the body and serves as a tool for imagination, in order to follow
the neurological and physical paths in the body, linking the
endocrine glands.
These seven glands, the – the gonads, the adrenaline gland,
the pancreas, the thymus gland, the thyroid gland, the pituitary
gland and the pineal gland regulate the life energy and the
energy floor in the body.
Opening this inner flute creates a feeling of vitality, rejuvenation
and raised sexual energy. With the use of visualisations
woman can experience the inner flute by letting the arising
sexual energy flow through this channel.
So you can actually learn how to play this flute, with the help of
seven finger holes, which correspond with the seven chacras
or energy centres of the body. The chacras symbolically
represent the energetic field, which are created by the
endocrine glands of the body.
Rising in the inner flute, the sexual energy will be transformed
while moving through the individual chacras, which will show in
different emotions, feelings and colours.


The chacras:

1. The sexual chacra:
The first chacra corresponds to the sexual centre and is
associated with giving birth and all emotions, which relate to
life and survival. When the energy can flow freely through this
chacra, you’ll notice how the sexual drive will encourage you to
be wild, to release tension and to gain fulfilment.

2. The navel chacra:
The second chacra is directly under the navel. It is the natural
balance and movement centre of the body. When the energy
can flow freely through this centre, you feel strong and vitalised,
and feel liveliness, which is given to us by a healthy and
relaxed body.

3. The solar-plexus-chacra:
This chacra is directly underneath the middle of the last rib.
Here sexual energy is experienced as personal power, as
charisma and self-confidence. When this chacra is relaxed
and open, lovers can control their feelings and can have an
equal partnership.

4. The heart chacra:
This chacra is in the rib cage, right in the middle of the line
between the nipples. Here sexual energy is experienced as a
desire to become one with the other person – both have the
feeling of being part of the other person.

5. The larynx chacra:
When this chacra is opened, the woman knows who she is and
what she wants and is also able to express it.

6. The forehead chacra or the Third Eye:
When the sexual energy has reached this point it is very pure,
fresh and clear, and linked to the raised feeling of freedom and
wideness. You’ll discover the power of intuition and
imagination and you’ll have inner visions.

7. The scull cap and crown chacra:
When the energy has reached the scull cap, you’ll feel the
happiness to be linked to all things and human beings that
surround you.

The chacras are working together in a system, in which each
chacra influences the energy of another chacra. If a chacra is
strained or is out of balance the other chacras will also be
affected and their life-force will be reduced. With the
Yoni-Massage, the sexual chacra and the heart chacra in
particular will be harmonized and connected with each other.


The PC- Pump:

A very important muscle for intensifying the sexual energy and
desire is the “PC-muscle”. It spreads around the pelvis in the
shape of a butterfly, connecting the anus and the genitals with
the spine and the legs. It is the main muscle of the pelvis,
controlling the opening and closing of urethra, vagina and
anus. It is also the muscle that woman has to trust when she
urgently needs to urinate, but circumstances don't allow it.
Women can feel this muscle especially strongly when they
have to actively press during the expulsion stage of childbirth.
Training the PC-muscle can help women to enormously
enhance their sexual desire and to have a vaginal orgasm
without penetration. This pump-exercise (to flex and relax the
PC-muscle) does not just prepare your PC-muscle for sexual
practices, but woman can also let sexual energy build up in the
inner flute. This exercise, together with consciously breathing
in and out (breathing in when flexing the PC-muscle and
breathing out when loosening the PC-muscle) can always be
integrated into the Yoni-Massage.
