Yoni Massage: Awakening Female Sexual Energy

Product Information

A woman who has discovered her sexuality and draws strength from it is radiant, creative, and filled with vitality. She embodies the beauty of life and in turn attracts this beauty like a magnet.

SEXUALITY / RELATIONSHIPS Yoni is the Sanskrit word for the female genitalia, describing not only the anatomy but also encompassing the energetic and spiritual dimensions. While yoni massage offers women the opportunity to enhance their sexuality, Michaela Riedl shows that the effects of this practice are much more profound and have ramifications affecting every area of life. In the West, long-held inhibitions about sexuality and the shame and guilt associated with the sexual zones of the body have created deep-seated barriers that prevent individuals from fully expressing themselves. The practices provided in Yoni Massage are designed to allow women to overcome these barriers and reconnect to their innermost core and deepest feminine nature. Yoni massage is not simply a hands-on technique but involves the conscious direction of energy throughout the body through deep breathing and visualization. It provides women the ability to cleanse and energetically stimulate the chakras as well as achieve emotional healing by releasing the traumatic pain that often becomes seated in the yoni. The author explains that the relegation of this important spiritual and energetic center to a "private part" hinders the process of enlightenment. Once women are able to be in touch with their yoni energy, their connection to the entire web of life is restored. MICHAELA RIEDL studied tantric massage at the Diamond Lotus Institute in Berlin and then refined the yoni and lingam massage techniques developed by Annie Sprinkle and Joseph Kramer, founder of the Erospirit Research Institute in California. She directs the AnandaWave Massage Center in Cologne, Germany, which offers workshops in tantric massage as well as seminars and counseling for experiencing sexuality in a healing way. Many people stop after the discussion of anatomy and don’t give much further thought to the subject of sexuality, but the sweetest experience of female sexuality can be found only by leaving the usual paths and diving into the depths of female sensation that are neither visible nor concretely touchable. This world opens itself to us as soon as we close our eyes and direct our attention inside ourselves. When we experience a feeling, for example caused by the stimulation of our clitoris, we can recognize the feeling and either observe it from the outside or actually become the feeling. All of us know the difference between these two. We can be happy about a birthday present and perceive this feeling as happiness, or we can be entirely swept up and thus become the happiness ourselves. Our heart opens up, our breathing deepens, our eyes glow, and when we walk out on the street, we encounter lots of friendly people. The bus driver says a friendly hello, the neighbor does us a favor, and the flower shop gives us a rose as a present. We embody this happiness so much that it affects those around us.

The polarity of yin and yang is also reflected in our yoni. In this way, the clitoris represents the yang principle, which is why an orgasm that is predominantly rooted in the clitoris can also be called a “male” orgasm: it is an explosion, short, strong, and sharp. Our vaginal canal (G-spot and urethral sponge) represents the yin principle, which is why a vaginal orgasm is a “female” orgasm: it is expansive, rolling, deep, and long. No wonder that a combination of clitoral and vaginal stimulation is considered by most women to be the deepest, most holistic, and most fulfilling orgasm of all.
