bliss movie

And yet another resource for you.

Bliss is a movie that I highly recommend.

As you know, we focus a lot of atten­tion on Body­work In the last 2 years or so, (since the tsunami, which nudged the mag­netic poles a bit) I’ve noticed that many clients feel “out of bal­ance.†This feel­ing is often the result of a first Chakra issue.

Almost always, there are also sex­ual issues, (Chakra two.)

Bliss addresses this sec­ond issue. The movie was made in 1997, and con­cerns the work of a Tantric teacher, as he helps a cou­ple deal with sex­ual dys­func­tion — using a decid­edly “hands on†approach that is sim­i­lar to our own. Here is a review, and the text from the back cover, from Amazon:


Amazon.com
It may not be a great movie, but Bliss could be one of the great­est marriage-boosters ever filmed. This curi­ous drama fits into the too-familiar form of the “ther­apy movie,†but it’s acted with inten­sity by a com­mit­ted (and rather brave) trio. Craig Shef­fer plays an uptight Seat­tle hus­band who dis­cov­ers his neu­rotic wife (Sheryl Lee) vis­it­ing a rad­i­cal doc­tor (Ter­ence Stamp) who has sex–therapeutically–with his patients. After briefly flip­ping out, Shef­fer finds him­self buy­ing into the doctor’s reme­dies for a sex­ual and emo­tional make-over. The silky-smooth Stamp is per­fectly cast: with his enthu­si­asm for chakras and fine cig­ars, the doc­tor is both spir­i­tual guru and the kind of man who reads Play­boy. The film veers into ridicu­lous­ness at times, yet there is some­thing intrigu­ing about its how-to frank­ness. Home view­ers may find them­selves embar­rassed and maybe just a lit­tle bit lib­er­ated. –Robert Horton

From the Back Cover
Craig Shef­fer, Sheryl Lee, Ter­ence Stamp, and Spald­ing Gray star in this auda­ciously hon­est look at sex­ual inti­macy and emo­tional risk. On his wed­ding day, Joseph (Craig Shef­fer) ner­vously admits that his wife (Sheryl Lee) is not quite like other women. But his beau­ti­ful bride is more than just the “impul­sive, com­pul­sive, obses­sive†woman he thinks he knows. And when Joseph dis­cov­ers she is hid­ing trou­bling secrets, it sends them both on a sex­ual odyssey that will either destroy or redeem their rela­tion­ship. Eras­ing all bound­aries between sex, love, and com­mit­ment, “BLISS may be one of the most dar­ing and explicit films ever made.†–William Arnold, Seat­tle Post-Intelligencer.


The most intrigu­ing ele­ment of the movie is the use of “G-Spot†mas­sage to release past sex­ual trauma. This fits with Chakra the­ory, which describes this area plus the root Chakra as hold­ing both sex­ual and life trauma.

Loved this movie’s intro­duc­tion to Tantra. Although I can’t imag­ine the ther­a­pist get­ting con­sent to have sex with patients from any women he might be involved with in a pri­mary rela­tion­ship. He could eas­ily be a sex­ual preda­tor using being a “ther­a­pist†as his cover. Isn’t it part of eth­i­cal stan­dards of ther­a­pists not to ever have sex with patients? Do you mas­sage the vulva area of your women patients? If so how does your wife feel about it?

Thanks for writ­ing. The “Balt­hazar†char­ac­ter is not a ther­a­pist — he’s sort of a “free­lance Tantra instructor.â€

Tra­di­tional ther­a­pists refrain from “doing harm.†This means that, in talk ther­apy, sex­ual rela­tions are pro­scribed. Within the psy­chother­a­peu­tic rela­tion­ship, I concur.

How­ever, Sex Ther­a­pists have often employed “sur­ro­gates†for ther­apy; often sur­ro­gates are mar­ried, and I assume their part­ners know what they do.

The Body Elec­tric orga­ni­za­tion trains “Sacred Inti­mates†to do that Balt­hazar does. Google “sacred intimate.â€

We assume that who are in open, hon­est, vul­ner­a­ble, and deeply com­mit­ted rela­tion­ships keep their part­ner informed of their busi­ness prac­tices. We prac­tice hon­esty. As such, my part­ner can­not “give me con­sent,†and receives full information.
