Sensual Massage is not a sexual service. The principle of Sensual Massage is that energy liberated by traditional massage is channeled through skilled stimulation of areas of the body typically excluded from "traditional" massage. Sensual massage should be seen as a natural progression from traditional massage rather than a particular form of massage in its own right. The addition of different and more sensual techniques, as well as tantric techniques, enhances the massage experience to a level not possible in traditional massage. This allows the client to reach an almost meditative focus, and achieve a deeper level of relaxation and relief from stress. Many things can come up during a sensual massage - blocked emotions; blocked energy in the form of mental or emotional stress and anxiety; physical tension - and the client can find relief from these in different ways.
