Yoni comes from the Indian Sanskrit language and translates to "beginning of everything" and "holy temple". The Yoni encompasses the female reproductive organs as a whole and represents Shakti, or the female goddess energy.
"Yoni" as a word, describes well the sacredness and respect that massage is based on. Stress and unprocessed emotions easily accumulate in a woman's vagina, and these stuck blockages can manifest as numbness, pain and tension. Yoni massage can help to get rid of them.
My own experiences with yoni massage
My first experience with a yoni massage was really insightful and it evoked a lot of emotion. I realized that I've never received that kind of touch and that's why I guess I didn't even know how to ask for it. In the yoni massage, all the space was just for me and my yoni; nothing was required of me and it felt extremely good. I noticed later that I started to treat myself in a completely different way, with more respect.
The following experiences have been very varied when receiving yoni massage; there has been sadness, insane bursts of laughter, crying, shame, love, anger, etc. Sometimes yoni massage has felt really good, sometimes I haven't felt anything, while dealing with certain points I have also encountered pain.
Yoni massage has helped me to respect myself and my boundaries. I feel a better connection with my body and above all with my yoni. Sexual pleasure is much stronger and wider. I have learned to listen to myself more sensitively, also when it comes to periods. Today, I regard my yoni as an inexhaustible source of pleasure, which I'm sure still has a lot to learn.
Yoni massage is usually included in tantra massage. However, it's not necessary, i.e. it is always agreed upon separately. Since the breasts are connected to the yoni, it's beneficial to massage them, if that is OK with the recipient.
In the Yoni massage, it's crucial to proceed very subtly, listening to the recipient's body.
