Tantric Bodywork uses 5 elements/touch types, namely
Earth provides safety and stability; use body weight and communication for effective treatment.
Water provides soft, long stretches; the whole body must be involved to create synchronization.
Air activates sensitivity; use light, playful touches to create a sense of freedom.
Fire can be sensual and surprising; after fire treatment, allow time for integration with Water or Air.
Ether is described as the fifth element in treatment methods. Recipients can feel the warmth of the giver’s hands without direct touch. Ether is part of the consciousness of both giver and receiver.
