Accompanying emotional processes and moving someone else’s vital energy requires an invisible but rigorous hygiene. Here is why our work begins long before we open the door.
Many clients ask us, often after a Tantra session: “How do you do it, Carles? How do you avoid carrying everything I’ve left here?” or “Angela, how do you release the tension that came out today?”
It is a very wise question. When you commit to touching a body with absolute presence, you aren’t just touching skin and muscle. You are coming into contact with that person’s story, their stress, their fears, and their emotional burdens. If we didn’t have a method to manage this, we would end up depleted.
We are the guardians of our own energy so that we can be the best sanctuary for yours. These are our rituals:
1. The prior silence: Creating the void (30 minutes before)
Our work doesn’t start when you ring the bell; it starts much earlier. About half an hour before each session, we are already in the room. We close ourselves in silence. We breathe. We meditate.
This time is sacred to us: it serves as an emotional clearing. We need to be “empty” of our own worries to be truly present for you. If we are not at peace, we cannot transmit peace. This silence allows us to welcome you with a clear gaze and an open heart.
2. “Channel” vs. “Sponge” Mindset
In the room, we are not sponges. A sponge absorbs dirty water and keeps it inside. A channel, on the other hand, allows energy to flow through but retains nothing. This attitude of non-attachment is our first layer of protection: the energy that leaves you is not ours; we only help you to circulate and release it.
3. Feet on the ground: Direct contact (Grounding)
We always work barefoot. Working in direct contact with the floor allows us to act as a literal “grounding wire.” The energy we move with our hands needs a way out: it enters through our touch, passes through us, and discharges into the ground. This prevents the client’s tension from getting blocked in our own nervous system.
4. The sliding ritual: Cutting the link
During the massage, and especially upon finishing, we perform a gesture that is essential to us. With a firm movement, we slide our hand from our own shoulder down to our fingertips.
It is a way of sweeping away any trace of energy that might have remained “stuck” to our arms. It is our physical method to cut the energetic link and ensure that all the burden leaves our field.
5. Cold water and Nature
Outside the room, our hygiene continues:
- Water: When we finish, washing our hands and forearms with very cold water is an immediate firewall that carries away any residue.
- Nature: Walking naked in the mountains or bathing in the sea in winter is our way of recycling energy on a large scale. Nature has an infinite capacity to transform dense energy into new vitality.
The consequence: The two-session limit
This entire process of emptying, cleaning, and recharging is what leads us to a non-negotiable decision: we do not perform more than two sessions per person per day.
We could do more, but energetically we would not be impeccable. To guarantee that our presence is total and our energy is fresh for you, we must respect our own timing.
Thank you for understanding that, to take good care of you, we must first learn to be the guardians of our own peace.
