Sexual healing through tantric massage.
This is how it happened for me.
Instead, he raped me.
I remember walking out of the workshop in a daze, and everything after that was a blur.
The next memory I have was at my own home a few days later.
I had no idea why I didn’t want to go; I just knew I was upset.
It was then that I realized it was time to take action.
My therapy was both extensive and intensive.
By the time I reached my 30s, I felt I had exhaustively analyzed this life experience.
No scar was left untouched.
Fast-forward five years: I found myself amid what I can only define as a spiritual crisis.
I yearned not only to understand but to know, unequivocally, the deeper meaning of life.
In hindsight, however, there was a feeling that something was missing despite having all the life essentials.
I was reliving dilemmas over and over again, and I couldn’t quite surpass patterns and paradigms.
It was like I was on a treadmill, destination nowhere.
Skeptical as to how this course would provide clarity and a pathway forward, I arrived cautious yet optimistic.
But on this retreat, I had an epiphany regarding my sexual trauma.
Healing from the inside out.
Today the memory of my sexual trauma is still very much with me.
However, it is one I can broach with detachment and compassion.
Tantric healing can be a life-changing experience, especially for sexual assault survivors.
