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

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 and one summer week.
Weekends from Friday evening to Sunday evening, for a gradual and complete discovery of tantric massage.

60 km west of Paris, La Vallée Rose — Chemin de la Marnière, 28410 Goussainville (near Houdan).

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.

Golden Book

Excerpts — testimonials received after a massage or a workshop.

Les mains inconnues.

Des mains sur ma peau,
pour réparer les blessures,
pour faire l'unité, pour sentir vivre mon corps,
pour me réconcilier avec moi-même.
___
Ces mains qui me semblent anonymes me font découvrir ce que je suis, elles me révèlent à moi-même, comme si elles savaient lever le secret, percer la carapace, et faire chanter la chanson pour rompre le silence de mort qui me cachait le bonheur à portée de mains.
— Françoise

Kundalini, divine mère d'amour…

La force me pénètre, tout devient jaune orangé dans la pièce, des paroles sortent de ma bouche. Ce « message » que je délivre à toutes les personnes présentes, je n'en maîtrise pas le sens, ma conscience et mon mental sont comme endormis.
___
Je revois soudain toutes les épreuves de ma vie, celles qui m'ont amené jusqu'à cette révélation. Je n'ai plus la notion du temps. Des mains sur mes pieds m'ont permis de revenir présent dans la salle
___
— Christian

Cela continue jusqu'à aujourd'hui…

Je sentais comme un serpent passant du sexe, au ventre, au cœur, et jusqu'à ma tête… Ne sentant que l'énergie, que j'étais dans l'unité… Je n'ai jamais ressenti une telle unité avant… J'étais seulement amour, j'étais seulement énergie… je me suis abandonnée dans ce mouvement intérieur, et c'était comme être en transe…
___
Les jours suivants, ce sentiment de brûlure venait à l'intérieur de mon corps tout à coup, sans rien faire, et c'était incroyable, partant d'une sensation humide dans mon sexe, puis une sorte d'énergie courait … tellement d'amour et de joie… Cela continue jusqu'à aujourd'hui… C'est tellement incroyable…
