In a world where many feel exhausted, empty, and disconnected from their own bodies, new paths to personal transformation and healing are emerging. “Awakening the Source” is one of these deep and powerful practices — a tantric method that combines breath, movement, and sound to activate and revitalize inner energy.
The practice is open to both women and men who want to reconnect more consciously with their bodies, emotions, and sexuality. It focuses on the pelvic area — our energetic center — where suppressed experiences, tension, and trauma often accumulate. Through carefully guided breathing techniques, intuitive movement, and sound release, Awakening the Source supports processes of cleansing, releasing energetic blocks, increasing libido, and restoring a free flow of energy.
This is not just a practice for the body — it is an invitation to deep inner renewal, a journey of self-discovery and healing. It reminds us that the source of our vitality, joy, and power is within us — and that through conscious presence, we can reawaken it.
1. What is the “source” in your approach, and how do you recognize blocks to accessing it in different people?
My starting point in working with people is integration — the acceptance, unification, and wholeness of the self. I view the human being as a multidimensional constellation of various aspects. I approach the concept of the “source” in the same way.
On a physical and energetic level, as well as in the Awakening the Source practice, the source is located in the pelvic area — known in various traditions as Hara or Dantien. For women, this is the womb — a sacred vessel that naturally accumulates and transforms energy. Women are inherently gifted with this sacred container which, when energetically clear and functioning properly, becomes a constant source of creativity and beauty. For men, such a vessel is cultivated energetically through practices — Taoist, Tantric, and others.
From a psychological perspective, when we are connected to the “source” — to our inner center — we naturally find motivation from within, express ourselves authentically, move with the flow of life, and experience peace and inner harmony.
Spiritually and energetically, the “source” is that primordial life force known by many names — chi, ki, prana, kundalini. It can also be understood as universal consciousness — God, Dao, Spirit…
In my personal experience, when the “source” (the womb, lower abdomen, hara) is energetically clear and the energy flows freely from it to the upper energy centers — connecting to the heart and further to the higher hormonal centers (pituitary and pineal glands) — this can lead to an experience of living in flow and unity with the entire Universe. This is the purpose of Awakening the Source. To achieve this, the energy must begin to circulate in a figure-eight pattern through the body — something I teach in regular practice.
The pelvic area serves as a container where physical and emotional residues accumulate — in both men and women, though more so in women. When this zone is energetically congested, energy can’t move freely, leading to symptoms associated with the first and second chakras, such as:
- Lack of vitality
- Low libido
- Chronic fatigue without a physiological cause
- Emotional instability
- Anxiety and insecurity
- Financial difficulties
- Reproductive issues (especially in women)
- Sexual dysfunction
- Pelvic and lower back pain
2. What is the relationship between the pelvic area and a person’s psycho-emotional state — from the perspective of body, mind, and energy?
The pelvis acts as a bridge between the upper and lower parts of the body and is considered the main energy center (hara, dantien) in many traditions.
Physiologically, it houses organs such as the uterus, ovaries, bladder, intestines, and also supports bones crucial for posture, emotional depth, intimacy, and physical stability. It is the body’s center of gravity.
Under stress, this area often tightens, leading to pain, stiffness, and sexual dysfunction. The pelvic area stores emotions — fear, shame, guilt — as well as trauma, especially related to sexuality. Tension or rigidity here may signal control issues or dominance tendencies. Repressed emotions lodged in the pelvis can lead to dissociation — disconnection from the body and emotions — and difficulty setting or maintaining healthy boundaries or expressing needs and desires.
In yoga, the pelvis is the seat of the first (Muladhara) and second (Svadhisthana) chakras, which govern safety, security, financial flow, sensuality, and sexuality. When energy is blocked in this area, it may result in reduced libido or, conversely, hypersexuality due to trauma (e.g., abandonment wounds), decreased creativity, or fear of change.
3. What breathing and sound techniques are used in the practice, and how do they help release blocked energy?
We use a specific type of breathing exclusively through the mouth. Intense mouth-breathing facilitates the release of accumulated tension. This breath is synchronized with movement and the contraction/relaxation of the genital muscles. When practiced regularly, it:
- Tones the genital muscles
- Strengthens the pelvic floor
- Helps generate energy and circulate it throughout the body
- Releases stored emotions
- Aids in healing trauma
The practice includes circulating the energy in a figure-eight pattern, which I teach to regular attendees after 2–3 sessions. The movements are natural and intuitive. We use base sounds like A and O, which help cleanse the body and open the chest and throat.
4. What role does trauma therapy play in Awakening the Source? Do you use specific integrative or somatic trauma methods?
The core goal of Awakening the Source is to unblock the pelvic area. This is achieved through dynamic hip movements. From a psychosomatic perspective, the pelvis and hips are the primary areas for storing trauma. The other key zones are the chest and throat — all of which we work with during the sessions, facilitating trauma healing.
In individual sessions, I use various trauma-informed methods — including movement (as in group practice), meditation, acceptance and validation, and a powerful technique called Feeding Your Demons.
5. How is the practice adapted for men, given its focus on pelvic energy often associated with feminine sexuality?
The pelvic area stores trauma and emotional blocks in both men and women. The difference in the practice lies in the first part, where women breathe with a feminine rhythm and men with a masculine one — something I guide and explain clearly during sessions. In the following stages, we synchronize breath and energy circulation in the tantric flow, uniting the two. This aspect of tantric practice is often not taught by everyone.
6. How do you teach participants to distinguish between natural sexual energy and patterns rooted in trauma, guilt, or shame?
The practice naturally dissolves emotional layers and conditioned patterns. When energy is activated and begins to flow freely, it is felt as vibration, pulsation, or even involuntary movements… We simply allow the energy to flow and cleanse. This leads to releasing fear, guilt, and shame.
This emotional work is not theoretical, but experiential — involving recognition, acceptance, embodiment, and release. My form of “training” is to create space for emotions to be felt and expressed. We don’t try to suppress, fix, or control them.
In my therapeutic approach, I follow this principle:
What we resist, persists. What we accept, transforms.
7. What long-term changes do you observe in regular practitioners? Are there transformations that go beyond the physical and energetic levels?
With regular practice, as the pelvis is unblocked, the heart center opens, and the higher hormonal centers (pituitary, pineal) become engaged, the following may occur:
- Ecstatic experiences
- Deep orgasmic sensations
- A sense of unity with all that is
- Irreversible energetic flow — constant energy generation
- Experiencing love as a state of being — not toward someone, but becoming love itself
- A state of mental clarity — Zen — thoughtlessness
8. What role does the voice play as a tool for emotional release in the practice, and what changes occur when someone begins to express repressed emotions through sound?
The voice is a powerful tool for emotional release and holds a central place in psycho-emotional work. Beyond communication, it provides a direct path to the inner world.
When someone begins to consciously use their voice — through speech, shouting, singing, toning, weeping — physical, psychological, and emotional changes occur:
- Tension is released — Emotions like anger, sadness, or fear often get stuck in the throat, chest, and diaphragm. Sound helps break through this tension. A scream, moan, or deep exhale can bring powerful relief.
- The nervous system regulates — Vocalization activates the vagus nerve, which calms the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to groundedness and reduced anxiety.
- We reclaim our power and authenticity — The voice is often suppressed by trauma, shame, or societal conditioning. Using it consciously is an act of self-empowerment: “I have the right to exist. I have the right to be heard.”
- It integrates body and emotion — Sound bridges inner feelings with the physical body, helping people fully “inhabit” themselves and release what’s been held in.
- It opens the unconscious and strengthens intuition — Sound can evoke memories, images, or sensations that were buried. A single tone or tear, accompanied by sound, can unlock deep insight.
9. What would you say to skeptics who see tantric practices as esoteric or purely sexual?
Tantra is an art of union with the Absolute. Those who see it primarily as sexual practice completely miss its essence. Tantra is not a philosophy or concept — it is an experience, a path of transformation.
Yes, some may use tantra to amplify only their sexual energy, but that’s not its purpose. Through tantra, we can reach multi-dimensional, peak experiences — like feeling orgasmic joy while watching a sunset or admiring a flower.
To me, tantra is an art that leads to oneness with the Universe and a life lived in flow.
10. Do you integrate Awakening the Source with other therapeutic methods in your work as an integrative therapist? What is the effect of this synergy?
Yes, I work with a variety of practices depending on the individual or group intention. In addition to training in Tantra (Vedic tradition), I am also an Art and Positive Psychotherapist. I’ve also spent many years exploring Daoist and Zen practices, Sufism, and more.
So yes, I do integrate diverse methods, and today I can say I create — together with soul-aligned friends and the Universe itself. This is our mission — to become co-creators.
The effect of this integrative approach is a more holistic transformation — on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
