The process builds trust and intimacy between partners, and is gentle and easy to do. From the Tantric perspective, there are many energy centers or bioelectric vortexes in the body. The seven primary psycho-energetic vortices are referred to as Chakras (loosely translated as "wheels of light"), each having a specific function in the body. The most important one is the Heart (Anahata) Chakra. There are three Chakras above and three Chakras below the Heart Chakra. The upper three have to do with intellect and spirituality. The three lower Chakras deal with base human needs and emotions.

The Anahata balances the spirit with the flesh. This Chakra is the seat of unconditional love and divine grace.

(If you aren't already aware of these energy centers, or for more detailed information, acquire one of the many excellent books about the Chakras and Yogic philosophy. Wheels of Light by Rosalyn L. Bruyere is one title to check out.)

PROCEDURE: Allow 45 minutes for this process. Each step takes about 5 minutes. Allow yourself to relax and take your time. Deep belly breathing helps with relaxation. A shower or bath is also recommended before this process, and remove all metallic jewelry (rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc.). The receiver should relax, breathe deeply and simply receive. This is an intimate process, done with love and respect. The giver will be placing his or her hands on various parts of the receiver's body. This is done slowly, with awareness, avoiding any jerky movements.

The receiver is to be naked, laying flat on their back, with legs flat and spread comfortably apart. A rolled up towel or pillow can be placed under the neck for comfort. The receiver may become cold during the process and may want a light blanket or sheet placed over the body.

The giver sits cross legged, on the right side of the receiver, with knees barely touching the receiver's body. The giver orients themselves in such a way as to be able to reach the receiver's genitals with the right hand and the top of the receiver's head with the left hand. It is important for the giver to find a comfortable position where they will not have to move their body during the process.

Both giver and receiver spend about 5 minutes focusing on deep, relaxed breathing.

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP: Begin each breath with a relaxed belly. Let your thoughts and concerns fade away. The giver rubs her/his hands together, creating heat as well as energizing them. Shake the hands, away from the receiver's body, and flick the fingers as if energy were sparking off your fingers. Do this several times. Among other things, this energizes your hands and prepares them for touching the receiver's body.

The giver then places their left (negatively charged) hand, gently, on the receiver's Heart  Chakra (Anahata). This is located in the center of the chest, between the nipples. You are touching the most intimate and beautiful part of the receiver. This is their center and seat of Divine essence. Become aware of their childlike innocence as your hand rests here.

The giver places their right (positively charged) hand, gently on the receiver's Root (Muladhara) Chakra. This is located between the anus and genitals. It is clinically referred to as the Perineum. This is the foundation of survival and human needs (food, shelter, survival, money, etc.). It is also the place from where a powerful bioforce (Kundalini)  emanates.

The giver keeps her/his hands in place for 5 minutes. Relax, keep breathing deeply, and visualize powerful energies coming from the earth and the universe, flowing through your body and streaming out your hands into the receiver's body. Become aware of your healing powers.

Keeping your left hand on the receiver's heart, gently move your right hand to their genitals. If the receiver is a woman, allow your fingers to contact the clitoris and vulva (yoni). If the receiver is a man, cup your hand over the testicles and penis (Lingam). This is the seat of their sexual desire and procreative power. Keep your hands in this position for 5 minutes. Occasionally, gently rock your right hand to awaken this Chakra. The receiver will likely experience sexual arousal. This indicates that energy is moving in the body.

Move your right hand to just below the receiver's navel (Svadhisthana), the centre of their reproductive power relating to self.. Keep your left hand on their heart Chakra. Do this for 5 minutes.

You are balancing the lower Chakras, that deal with money, sex and power issues, with their sacred centre, the heart. You are bringing infinite love and wisdom into their human life form.

Slowly move right hand over your partner's solar plexus (Manipura), just below the breastbone. Keep your left hand on their heart chakra. Remain here for 5 minutes, visualizing energy flowing from your partner's heart to their universal power center to the entire world

The Solar Plexus is the seat of emotions. It connects ones personal power to the world. Blockage in this chakra manifests as anger or a sense of victimization.

Move your right hand on top of your left hand. Keep both hands on the receiver's heart for 5 minutes. Imagine all that you have to give, as friend, healer and lover, flowing from your hands into their heart.

Place your right hand on the receiver's heart and move your left hand to their throat. Be gentle, do not press down and just let your hand rest gently on the throat (Visuddha) Chakra. This is the source of their creative expression and communication. Remain here for 5 minutes.

With the right hand in place on the receiver's heart, move the left hand to their forehead. This is the home of their intellect and psychic powers (Ajna). Remain at this center for 5 minutes.

Move the left hand to the top or crown of the receiver's head. Keep the right hand on their heart. The Crown (Sahasrara) Chakra is their connecting point to the Divine and channels spiritual energy. Stay in this position for 5 minutes.

Gently, slowly and with total awareness, remove your hands from the receiver's body. At this point they will most likely be in a deeply relaxed and highly sensitized state. Withdraw your hands in a manner that they barely notice it. Slowly, silently, move your body away from theirs and stand up. Walk away from them, shake your hands (or place on an electrical ground), and flick your fingers again.

You may leave your partner in this state or you can begin another sexual activity. Lingam massage or yoni massage is most effective after this process. Foreplay, including cunnilingus or fellatio, works very well, as the receiver is in a heightened state of responsiveness at this point. Have fun!
