Erotic Massage: How to Open Your Chakras Before Intimacy
June 4, 2025 | Miriam Slozberg
With our hectic lives nowadays, intimacy is usually an afterthought, something rushed, mechanical, or disconnected. Being intimate with your partner can be the last thing you want because of the hustle and bustle. That is because you want to wind down and relax after a long day at work and other responsibilities. That only hurts yourself and your relationships. What if you could instead unite physically with your body, energy, mind, and spirit, wide awake and present? Erotic massage and opening your chakras offer a profound way to enhance intimacy. They also create stronger emotional bonds and awaken dormant sensual energy.
Getting to Know Chakras and How They Connect to Intimacy
Chakras are energy points in the body, originating from ancient Indian spirituality. There are seven major chakras, each linked to a different anatomy section and specific emotional, spiritual, and physical processes.
When these chakras are blocked or unbalanced, the outcome could be tension, emotional detachment, or even sexual dissatisfaction.

The following is a brief overview of the seven chakras and how they relate to intimacy:
Root Chakra (Muladhara) – Located at the bottom of the spine, it governs grounding, safety, and physical identity. Balancing promotes trust and the ability to be present in your body.
Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) – Positioned below the navel, it presides over pleasure, sexuality, and emotional flow.
Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) – Located in the upper abdomen, it’s associated with personal power and confidence.
Heart Chakra (Anahata) – Located in the center of the chest, this chakra influences love, compassion, and emotional vulnerability.
Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) – Which governs communication and truth, is essential for expressing desires and boundaries.
Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) – Between the eyebrows, it’s associated with intuition and emotional awareness.
Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) – Located at the crown of the head, it links us to divine consciousness, spiritual oneness, and bliss.
Let’s discuss combining erotic massage with chakra opening.
If done with mindfulness, erotic massage is not only a matter of pleasure but also a sacred act. If chakra work is added, the massage becomes a whole-body experience that removes energy blockages.
It then creates emotional intimacy and prepares both partners for a more profound and meaningful sexual experience.
It enables vulnerability, full-body connection, and the feeling of energetic alignment that can bring physical pleasure to a spiritual plane. Now, let’s discuss how to prepare the space for the erotic massage.
Before starting, set up a relaxing, welcoming environment:
Lighting: Candles or soft, ambient light.
Scents: Aromatherapy oils like ylang-ylang, sandalwood, or rose heighten the senses and facilitate chakra activation.
Sound: Soft, sensual music or chakra-tuned frequencies will assist in staying meditative.
Tools: Warm oils, smooth stones, or feathers can introduce depth to the massage.
Encourage communication, as you will want to discuss boundaries, desires, and emotional intentions beforehand. Consent and respect are not negotiable for this type of experience. Let’s now discuss the step-by-step process of the chakra-opening massage.
What follows is how to incorporate the chakra activation into a session of erotic massage. You can perform this on a partner or with a lover you trust.
First Step for the Root Chakra: Grounding Touch
Begin at the feet and legs, and massage slowly with firm, rhythmic strokes.
Utilize grounding essential oils like patchouli or vetiver.
Whisper affirmations such as “You are safe. You are here.”

Invite the receiver to listen to their body’s alignment with the earth. Once you feel you have completed that, proceed to the next step.
Second Step for the Sacral Chakra: Awakening Sensuality
Journey to the hips, lower belly, and inner thighs.
Warm oil scented with orange or jasmine can be used.
Introduce light circular movements around the pelvic area. Not yet genital touch, but sensual and teasing.
Affirm: “You are worthy of pleasure. Your desires are sacred.”
Here is where erotic energy begins to awaken. Allow your hands to be extensions of loving energy, not arousal tools.
Third Step for the Solar Plexus Chakra: Empowerment
Massage the stomach area gently in clockwise circles.
This area is vulnerable; move slowly and check in with your partner.
Use oils that contain lemon or ginger to awaken energy.
Affirm: “You are powerful. You shine from within.“
Confidence is necessary to complete intimacy. In this step, shame and self-doubt can be cleared.
Fourth Step for the Heart Chakra: Emotional Connection
Focus on the chest and heart area with gentle strokes.
Use rose oil or lavender.
Emphasize tenderness here. Cover the heart with your hand and breathe together.
Affirm: “You are loved. You are open to give and receive love.”
This step in the massage typically creates emotional release. Let tears or vulnerability flow freely.
Fifth Step for the Throat Chakra: Expression and Truth
Massage the shoulders, neck, and jawline.
Use peppermint or chamomile oils.
Have your partner make sounds, desires, or affirmations.
Affirm: “Your truth is valuable. Speak freely.“
An open throat chakra facilitates moans, laughter, words of love, or simply being able to say what one wants.
Sixth Step for the Third Eye Chakra: Intuition and Insight
Gently massage the forehead and temples.
Use lavender or clary sage oils.
A soothing stone like amethyst may be placed on the forehead for added effect.
Affirm: “You see clearly. You trust your inner knowing.“
This chakra enhances emotional attunement with your partner. You will begin to feel your partner’s needs intuitively.
Seventh Step for the Crown Chakra: Bliss and Unity
Gently massage the scalp or lightly run your fingers through the hair.
No oils or something very subtle like frankincense may be used here.
Be silent or breathe silently together.
Affirm: “You are connected. You are divine.”
This is the peak, the moment of complete surrender and spiritual unity. Whether it leads to physical union or not, the two of you are now spiritually united.
Aftercare and Integration
After the massage, integrate. Lie down together, hold hands, chat, or be still. Take water, cuddle, or meditate together. Take the time together and cherish it. It is a precious time.
If intimacy follows, it will be more emotional, profoundly satisfying, and nourishing to the soul. If not, the massage has already been a profound, sacred experience. You will be feeling that after your sensual experience with one another.
Key Takeaway
In a culture that is prone to separating sexuality and spirituality, erotic chakra massage is an act of reclaiming wholeness. It’s a way of honoring the body and the spirit that inhabits it. When both partners approach one another with open hearts, positive energy, and mutual respect, sex is no longer merely physical. It’s a form of energetic communion.
You may be in a long-standing relationship or finding a new one. Come to erotic massage with chakra alignment as more than foreplay. Come to it as a sacred awakening, bonding, and healing practice. It is a profoundly intimate way to love yourself and your lover from the inside out.
