Bliss is a movie that I highly recommend.
As you know, we focus a lot of attenÂtion on BodyÂwork In the last 2 years or so, (since the tsunami, which nudged the magÂnetic poles a bit) I’ve noticed that many clients feel “out of balÂance.†This feelÂing is often the result of a first Chakra issue.
Almost always, there are also sexÂual issues, (Chakra two.)
Bliss addresses this secÂond issue. The movie was made in 1997, and conÂcerns the work of a Tantric teacher, as he helps a couÂple deal with sexÂual dysÂfuncÂtion — using a decidÂedly “hands on†approach that is simÂiÂlar to our own. Here is a review, and the text from the back cover, from Amazon:

It may not be a great movie, but Bliss could be one of the greatÂest marriage-boosters ever filmed. This curiÂous drama fits into the too-familiar form of the “therÂapy movie,†but it’s acted with intenÂsity by a comÂmitÂted (and rather brave) trio. Craig ShefÂfer plays an uptight SeatÂtle husÂband who disÂcovÂers his neuÂrotic wife (Sheryl Lee) visÂitÂing a radÂiÂcal docÂtor (TerÂence Stamp) who has sex–therapeutically–with his patients. After briefly flipÂping out, ShefÂfer finds himÂself buyÂing into the doctor’s remeÂdies for a sexÂual and emoÂtional make-over. The silky-smooth Stamp is perÂfectly cast: with his enthuÂsiÂasm for chakras and fine cigÂars, the docÂtor is both spirÂiÂtual guru and the kind of man who reads PlayÂboy. The film veers into ridicuÂlousÂness at times, yet there is someÂthing intriguÂing about its how-to frankÂness. Home viewÂers may find themÂselves embarÂrassed and maybe just a litÂtle bit libÂerÂated. –Robert Horton
From the Back Cover
Craig ShefÂfer, Sheryl Lee, TerÂence Stamp, and SpaldÂing Gray star in this audaÂciously honÂest look at sexÂual intiÂmacy and emoÂtional risk. On his wedÂding day, Joseph (Craig ShefÂfer) nerÂvously admits that his wife (Sheryl Lee) is not quite like other women. But his beauÂtiÂful bride is more than just the “impulÂsive, comÂpulÂsive, obsesÂsive†woman he thinks he knows. And when Joseph disÂcovÂers she is hidÂing trouÂbling secrets, it sends them both on a sexÂual odyssey that will either destroy or redeem their relaÂtionÂship. ErasÂing all boundÂaries between sex, love, and comÂmitÂment, “BLISS may be one of the most darÂing and explicit films ever made.†–William Arnold, SeatÂtle Post-Intelligencer.
The most intriguÂing eleÂment of the movie is the use of “G-Spot†masÂsage to release past sexÂual trauma. This fits with Chakra theÂory, which describes this area plus the root Chakra as holdÂing both sexÂual and life trauma.

Loved this movie’s introÂducÂtion to Tantra. Although I can’t imagÂine the therÂaÂpist getÂting conÂsent to have sex with patients from any women he might be involved with in a priÂmary relaÂtionÂship. He could easÂily be a sexÂual predaÂtor using being a “therÂaÂpist†as his cover. Isn’t it part of ethÂiÂcal stanÂdards of therÂaÂpists not to ever have sex with patients? Do you masÂsage the vulva area of your women patients? If so how does your wife feel about it?
Thanks for writÂing. The “BaltÂhazar†charÂacÂter is not a therÂaÂpist — he’s sort of a “freeÂlance Tantra instructor.â€
TraÂdiÂtional therÂaÂpists refrain from “doing harm.†This means that, in talk therÂapy, sexÂual relaÂtions are proÂscribed. Within the psyÂchotherÂaÂpeuÂtic relaÂtionÂship, I concur.
HowÂever, Sex TherÂaÂpists have often employed “surÂroÂgates†for therÂapy; often surÂroÂgates are marÂried, and I assume their partÂners know what they do.
The Body ElecÂtric orgaÂniÂzaÂtion trains “Sacred IntiÂmates†to do that BaltÂhazar does. Google “sacred intimate.â€
We assume that who are in open, honÂest, vulÂnerÂaÂble, and deeply comÂmitÂted relaÂtionÂships keep their partÂner informed of their busiÂness pracÂtices. We pracÂtice honÂesty. As such, my partÂner canÂnot “give me conÂsent,†and receives full information.
