ILLUMINATE : Somatic Bodywork

In Person Somatic Bodywork & Tantric Massage by Josephina Loha

My Somatic Bodywork sessions are ceremonial journeys, designed to help you get out of the mind and drop into your body via the heart presence of a Tantric Priestess/Tantrika.

A Tantric Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to awaken and channel sexual energy for spiritual, emotional and physical healing. It involves slow, deliberate touch and breathing techniques, focusing on the body's energy points or chakras. The goal of the session will vary, based on the intention that is set by you, the recipient, also known as the “journeyer.”

The Tantrika or co-journeyer’s role is to enhance the recipient's awareness of their own energy in order to allow a deep surrender, allowing whatever is meant to happen or come thru to emerge. The sessions can vary between deep relaxation portals, to intense catharsis, to a release of emotional or physical tension, to an energy or full body orgasm. Unlike traditional massage, Tantric massage can be deeply intimate, emphasizing connection and mindful presence. It's often a pathway to explore sensuality, self-awareness, and spiritual growth, fostering a deeper connection with oneself. It can be more powerful than talk therapy and journeyers can liken it to a psychedelic trip or medicine ceremony, and most of my clients are experienced in sacred ceremonies and plant medicine work.

The intention of the session is not to be intimate with the Tantrika but simply to receive Her medicine & magic, of light and love in the full embodiment of the Divine Feminine. Remember, the Tantrika is the co-journeyer, simply a guide on your own inner journey. She practices the Temple Art of entering the transpersonal realm - emptying her vessel, allowing the Divine to move thru her as a channel of love and light for All. To project a feeling of amor towards the Tantrika is a projection and distortion, called Transference, a psychological redirection to a substitute, akin to a therapist, of feelings that were originally felt in childhood (in a phase of analysis called neurosis).

What is the Lingham?

Lingham is the Sanskrit term for the penis . It translates to “column of light” and “consciousness.” We use this term in Tantric Massage as a reference to your Shiva energy, the sacred life force energy that penetrates and that emanates truth, clarity and life. When connected to the heart chakra, the Lingham can also emanate love.

What happens during a Lingham Massage?

First, know that no one journey is like another and that you will have the experience that you are meant to have; in this work it is important to practice non-attachment and to not hold onto an expectation too firmly. Surrender, trust and receive. We practice the Buddhist and Tantric principle of “non-attachment,” meaning can you release any and all expectation to what has to happen, can you be un-attached to the outcome and can you surrender to The Mystery.
