Sexual Healing with Internal Pelvic Release:

In the Sexual Healing counseling sessions I provide it is sometimes advisable and mutually agreed that the Internal Pelvic Release procedure would be beneficial to the client's progress in releasing stored and blocked energies accessed through the vagina. Internal Pelvic Release provides an opportunity to release and open blocked energies stored in the stomach, vagina and anus area.

Reasons for seeking Sexual Healing with Internal Pelvic Release
Many, if not most, women in our culture have experienced physical abuse, sexual trauma, rape, and/or molestation as well as experiencing mentally and emotionally abusive episodes. More subtle forms of abuse include women who feel pressured to submit or accommodate the sexual gratification of their husband or lover without desiring or fully welcoming the engagement in the moment. All of these circumstances produce contractions and restrictions of a woman’s energy.

The “bad experience” is stored in body-memory tissue located usually in the vagina, stomach and/or anus areas of the body. This has the affect of clamping down the woman’s full enjoyment of sexual engagement and creating “dead” or numb areas of the body. Often this affects sexual desire as well. Women who experience this may compensate or ignore the feelings of disconnect, numbness, pain or anger that exist and “just go-along” with their husband or lover’s request for sex and not be fully present to what is happening. This certainly takes a toll on the relationship, even if only on a subliminal level—slowly eroding the intimacy and freedom of sexual expression she feels.

Internal Pelvic Release (IPR, a.k.a. “Yoni Healing”) is an important aspect of sexual healing for women. To experience the full effect of kundalini (sexual energy) flow it is essential that the energetic pathways of the body be prepared, clear and open. When this is the case, women feel empowered and free in their sexual expression and embodiment of Shakti (Divine Feminine) energy. They feel “lighter” -more enlivened- experiencing expanded sensual sensitivity and orgasmic response to their lover’s attention.

Procedure
To create a holistic healing opportunity there first needs to be a sense of “space” (detachment or "neutrality") around the issues embedded like a memory in the body. To begin the session, we discuss concerns, felt awareness and understanding of past abuse, trauma, or emotional wounds with the intention of informing and witnessing—not indulging the upset or associated emotional-power of the wound or trauma. By encouraging a "neutral" witness perspective while holding the intention of releasing and opening; the woman receiving IPR invites an opportunity for healing. With this accomplished, the physical aspect of the procedure has greater impact and is welcomed by the body.

To prepare the body, a full-body sensual massage is given. It is essential to deeply relax the body so its unconscious “armoring” is lowered and energy is flowing more easily. The adept Daka will also use Tantric Energy skills to enliven the energy pathways of the body (nadis) in preparation for the energy flow that follows. Only when the body is readied in this manner will the Internal Pelvic Release procedure be affective.

The following description is for information purposes only and is not intended to completely equip anyone to perform this procedure. Anyone interested in performing this procedure should not attempt internal pelvic release without previously receiving personal instruction and guidance by an experienced teacher-practitioner.

Internal Pelvic Release
After sensually massaging the body, it is very important for the Daka to ask permission before engaging the yoni. The woman receiving this procedure must feel completely at-choice, with nothing being “taken” from her nor having to submit to something she is not desiring or ready for. I ask permission and receive her verbal “yes” and then I wait for her yoni (vagina) to also “say yes” by its feel—open, receptive, welcoming.

The exterior of the yoni receives a sensual massage that is intended to relax and open the yoni tissues to receiving deeper contact and vaginal penetration. When the yoni is prepared and ready to be entered the Daka enters the yoni with one finger and gently probe the vaginal walls for areas of tightness, tenderness, soreness, or pain. When such areas are encountered, a gentle but firm pressure is applied without “rubbing” or creating friction to that area—merely meet the contracted spot with firm-but-gentle pressure that equals the firmness of the contraction without trying to force it to release. The woman receiving is invited to bring consciousness to this spot and “breath-into” it with the intention of allowing whatever wants to happen to do so—again not in resistance or trying to force anything to happen.

The physical process is similar to acupressure on a knot in one’s muscle. The masseuse will hold gentle, consistent pressure until there is a release in the muscle. As the Daka feels the vaginal wall release there is a definite feeling of softening and opening that occurs. Often this is accompanied by a vocalized release which may include strong emotion, anger, sobbing tears, and/or physical reactions of shaking and sweating.

After one area is addressed, thoroughly canvass the rest of the yoni wall and address additional locations where energy knots occur—providing a “clearing” of the yoni. It is often necessary to receive more than one session for complete clearing to occur.

A Different Touch
The Internal Pelvic Release procedure is not designed to provoke orgasm and the release associated with IPR is different from invoking female ejaculation. It is a touch that employs erotic energy, therapeutically applied, transferring the intention of wholeness, complete acceptance and well being.

The IPR procedure will contact tender, sensitive, and sometimes painful areas of tight, clenched tissue or muscle in the stomach, yoni and anus area. This engagement is gentle meeting the “tightness” with equal presence without resistance. This touch feels loving, supportive, and healing and promotes relaxation and welcoming of touch to this area —rather than armored stiffness, “deadness” or numbness felt in the gut or genitals.

Benefits
By freeing these areas of the body from contraction it allows for the free-flow of energy through the three lower Chakras (energy centers) in the body.

The Root Chakra (Sanskrit: Muladhara is located at the end of the tail-bone, represented by the perineum) is connected to one’s relationship with one’s community, family, survival, feeling of groundedness and connection to mother earth Gaia. It is through this source all our material-physical manifestations come from; procreation/creation.

The Sacral Chakra (Sanskrit: Swadhisthana) is associated with the genitals of the body and is connected to our sexual expression, as well as one’s feeling of Shakti (divine feminine energy) flow through the body -resulting in a “sensuality” of being. Because of this, the Sacral Chakra is also associated with Eros, vital force, inspiration, creative spark, strong emotion, vitality, and vibrancy of life. If you are not feeling these aspects of your essential nature then you likely have contractions/restrictions in this Chakra.

The Solar Chakra (Sanskrit: Manipura) is connected to one’s “Personal Power” and shows up as the ability to manifest one’s dreams or intentions. The Solar Chakra is located about three fingers below the sternum’s end on the rib cage and is associated with the stomach. If you experience unusual tightness in the stomach area, including cramping, bloating, or elimination issues, you might have Solar Chakra issues happening. Clearing this Chakra empowers one’s life with confidence and clear intention and understanding of how to manifest one’s goals and desires.

By clearing these three Chakras from blockages, contractions and restrictions life becomes filled with vibrant energy, sensuality, confidence, and tremendous expanded erotic and orgasmic ability. One’s energy shoots to new heights and the awareness sees fantastic new possibilities entering life every day.

Completion
Completing the procedure involves holding space and staying present without trying to fix anything or stop the emotion from coming out. The Daka can offer support with his presence, eye-contact, holding hands, embracing the receiver as desired -or not- by her. Gentle, long strokes to the body of reassurance and acceptance is often welcomed. I keep one hand present at the yoni (exterior) in support of integrating the releasing energy. My other hand strokes the body, bringing the energy up and out through the body, on to whatever energetic disbursement higher wisdom has in store for it. Sometimes the receiver can become cold at this time, so it is good to have a blanket or sheet available. Compression squeezes through the covering are often welcomed—feeling deeply cared for and nurtured and warm.
