Philosophy of Cocoon® massages

Take the risk of being amazed

Cocoon philosophy of tantric massage

The massage, it is something that you start,
but that you never finish, which continues indefinitely,
and which becomes gradually deeper and higher.
The massage is a subtle art.
It is not just a question of skill,

It's more about love.

First you learn the technique and then you forget it.
You feel and you create movements according to your feelings.

When you learn the massage deeply,
90 % of the work is done by love, 10 % by technique.
You just need the touch, the touch of love,
and the body relaxes…

If you feel love and compassion for the other person,
if you look at him as a priceless energy,
if you are grateful for his trust in you,
then more and more you will feel the creation of a harmony in you.

When you massage, only massage, do not think of anything else.

Enter your fingers, your hands,
as if your existence entered there.
Your soul penetrates into the body of the other,

And the most difficult complexes are relaxed.

Make it a pleasure and enjoy it.

Shamanic drum — Cocoon shamanic path
Shamanic path

The Vital Breath, Shamanic Breathing

Find your lightness and joy again in the face of life's worries. Through the drum, the breath and rituals, a direct access to our inner resources.

You lie down on your back, and you start breathing. Through pressure on the blockage points, you are guided to let your breathing become full and total.

This breathing becomes like a breeze on which your consciousness flies away and expands. This change in the plane of consciousness then allows you to modify your assembly point of reality and to transform your vision of the world.

Finding a fluid energy that circulates freely.

The mechanism of the « Cure » then sets in motion and you feel laughter rise within you, along with a joy that you had sometimes lost for a long time.

Giving yourself more strength to face everyday stress.

Several sessions will enable you to increase and maintain this inner strength which you will feel as a plenitude. You have reconnected with the source of your vital energy. Life becomes like a firework, which expresses itself and is carried out according to your deep desires.

Training and immersions

Meditative tantric massage, Tantra and Shamanism workshops

Shamanic therapy — symbolic painting

For Cocoon®, tantric massage can only be conceived through the practice of tantra, which gives the massage its very essence, through the openness, centering and quality of presence to oneself and to the other that it allows.

These workshops form a continuous work on oneself through tantra and meditation exercises, accompanied by a shamanic breathing work, which will allow a true appreciation of tantric massage. The complete structure of the massage is discovered over 5 weekends, and a second cycle allows the practitioner to become fluid.

A preliminary phone interview is required.

Workshops open to single people or couples.

One session of 5 weekends
At La Vallée Rose, 60 km west of Paris — Chemin de la Marnière, 28410 Goussainville (near Houdan).
Weekends from Friday evening to Sunday evening, for a gradual and complete discovery of tantric massage. Complete discovery over the 5 weekends, then deepening in the following sessions.

Tantra

Dissolve the self, become the dance

Tantra allows you to regain not only the joy and pleasure of living, but also to broaden the field of possibilities limited by the "me-I". Tantric exercises allow the dissolution of the self and the meeting with a universal dimension.

Tantric massage

Uniting the three planes

Tantric massage touches the three planes — physical, emotional and spiritual — in order to rediscover this feeling of unity which connects us to the divine. Sensual, tender and spiritual, it is above all a meeting of souls.

Vital Breath

Shamanic breathing

This breathing becomes like a breeze on which your consciousness flies away and expands. This shift allows you to modify your assembly point of reality. The mechanism of the "Cure" then sets in motion.

Testimonials

Excerpts — testimonials received after a massage or a workshop.

Unknown hands

Hands on my skin,
to mend the wounds,
to make oneness, to feel my body alive,
to reconcile myself with myself.
____
Hands on my body,
to gather the thousand shards of my broken heart,
to revive the flame that seemed forever extinguished,
to speak in gestures the words never uttered,
to feel the joy of being alive,
to feel life and joy rising within me.
____
These hands that seem anonymous let me discover who I am, they reveal me to myself, as if they knew how to lift the secret, pierce the shell, and sing the song to break the deathly silence that hid from me a happiness within reach.
— Françoise

It continues to today… It is so unbelievable

When you began to move your hands from the neck downwards, I started to lose the sense of my body, I lost the gravity of my body, feeling lighter and lighter,
____
I felt as if a serpent were passing from the sex, to the belly, to the heart, and up to my head. Feeling only the energy, that I was in oneness. I had never felt such oneness before. I was only love, I was only energy. I felt my body wanting to stretch and shake. I surrendered into this inner movement, and it was like being in trance.
____
When I reopened my eyes, I felt as if time had been stopped — no time, no sense of where I really was. It was like a journey without dimensions. I felt love and saw the truth in it. I started to cry because of this love, this happiness, this freedom, this oneness, this experience.
— Argy

Kundalini, divine mother of love…

An energy rises from my base chakra; bliss arrives. The rising continues to the plexus, an immense happiness fills me, an intense force, tears of joy flow. Beauty makes me lose control; and suddenly I feel above my head a powerful divine force filled with love, no fear. Total surrender before this love, this grace.
____
I suddenly see again all the trials of my life, those that brought me to this revelation. I no longer have any sense of time.
____
My life has changed since that day, everything has lightened, I feel cleansed, forgivenesses are granted, a great peace inhabits me. Humility, joy, happiness, trust have become my daily life. I bathe in bliss.
— Christian
