Sacred Pelvic Healing Massage Practice Manual: A Step by Step Guide by Amara Karuna Pdf

This is an illustrated practice manual designed as a guide for students who have already taken classes in Sacred Pelvic Healing Massage, (also called Sacred Sexual Healing Massage). This work was developed by Amara Karuna over many years, integrating many styles of pelvic massage bodywork. This is not a thorough training manual and is not intended for those who have no experience in pelvic massage. It contains explicit images of genital areas and how to do healing on them. This is a unique, slow and penetrating touch on the pelvic area, which most people have never experienced. It is relaxing, nurturing, healing and pleasurable all at once. This work draws from the techniques of sacred spot massage, Orgasmic Meditation, cranial sacral work, fascia release, Rivers of Love bodywork, Chi Nei Tsang, Taoist energy healing and cultivation, and deep tissue and acupressure bodywork. It integrates an awareness of the sacredness of our bodies and sexual energies, as well as the emotional distresses carried in the pelvic areas. This is very deep work that touches into our core channel energies, and can bring up strong emotions and be very transformative.
