Why it's beneficial to break the chains of the rational mind
I would like to share one of my personal experiences that led me to believe that breaking the shackles of reason can be immensely beneficial.
It happened a few years ago when one morning the idea struck me to enroll in a tantric massage course. I had never experienced such a massage before and had no idea what it entailed, but a sense of curiosity and a desire to explore something new motivated me to embark on this journey. I already knew a bit about the tantric approach, and it felt like the right path for me.
The turning point occurred on the first evening of the course. It was a beautiful summer day, and after a full day of training, we had a experiential evening with a ritual involving essential oils. It took place in a large hall in pairs. It was a guided ceremony, and following the instructions, we gradually became aware of and purified each chakra. Each chakra was associated with its own scent and color. Perhaps it was the influence of the new and unfamiliar environment, but I felt completely liberated and opened myself to entirely new experiences. I perceived energy flows that seemed intangible and mysterious. That was the beginning of my personal adventure into the realm of the unconscious. At the end of the ritual, it felt as if I had transformed into a compact and solid pillar. I still carry this sensation of inner strength within me. The ritual was transformative for me.
Throughout the course, I increasingly felt the depth of my emotions that were hidden in the unconscious. During one exercise, emotions that had been held back in the past were released, and I cried continuously for about an hour.
With ease, I found answers to the questions I had been asking myself, and I discovered a new perspective on the world. Creativity began to flow, and I started to perceive the world around me with a new sense of detachment.
During the course, I felt that my perception of the world had changed. I was able to consciously embrace uncertainty and was open to new experiences. Breaking the shackles of reason led me to greater harmony and peace. I realized that wisdom can stem from the deeper corners of our being.
Exploring the unconscious is not an easy path, but it brings deeper understanding, creativity, emotional balance, and meaning. It's not about discarding reason but complementing it with wisdom that comes from a different dimension. And when we dare to plunge into the unknown beyond the boundaries of reason, we may discover a world richer than we could ever imagine.
On this journey, tantric massage can be a great aid, providing a safe, respectful, and loving environment to explore one's unconscious. If experienced with a trustworthy guide, this can become a transcendent experience for you.
