Massage Training in Bali: Experience Lineage-Based Tantra Bodywork
Oct 17, 2025
Many people are drawn to Tantra Massage because it offers a direct, effortless way to experience the divine. It functions like a meditation, a state where higher consciousness can be accessed through presence. Often called the lazy person’s route to enlightenment, Tantra Massage allows you to enter expanded states of awareness simply by receiving or giving. Through this receptivity, consciousness naturally deepens, and what many describe as true bliss begins to unfold.
The Mystic Massage Tantra Massage Training in Bali is a direct lineage transmission from Ma Ananda Sarita, guided by Tantra Essence faculty, Modestas, Dieke, and Svetlana. Together, they carry forward the roots of Kashmiri and Taoist Tantra Massage.
Hosted annually in Bali Indonesia, the next training will take place from January 12–26, 2026. It is one of the most respected and sought-after Tantra Massage trainings worldwide, known for its professionalism, and integrity.
If you want to begin exploring before you arrive, our online course Tantra Massage Through the 7 Chakras offers a powerful foundation for understanding how each energy center and the body responds to touch, and awareness.
What Is Tantra Massage?
Tantra Massage is a professional lineage-based form of bodywork that uses specific, structured techniques to awaken energy and bring the body into full sensory awareness.
This method combines two classical streams of practice; Kashmiri Tantra from northern India and Taoist Tantra from ancient China. Both share a common aim to restore the natural movement of life-force through the body, but they approach it in different ways.
- Kashmiri Tantra Massage originates from the Shaiva philosophy of Kashmir, where the body is viewed as a living manifestation of consciousness, something through which the divine is directly experienced. This approach was developed from the non-dual teachings of Kashmir Shaivism, particularly those found in the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, which describes awakening through sensory awareness and touch.
- Taoist Tantra Massage is rooted in the classical internal alchemy of ancient China, a system that viewed the human body as a microcosm of the universe. Its purpose is to balance and refine Qi (life-force) and Ching (sexual essence), the two vital substances that govern vitality and longevity. These principles are drawn from Taoist texts such as the Huangdi Neijing and the Tao Te Ching, where health and spiritual cultivation arise from maintaining harmony between Yin and Yang, the receptive and active currents that shape all existence. In Taoist Tantra Massage, the practitioner works systematically along the meridian pathways, the same energy channels mapped in Traditional Chinese Medicine
