How can Tantra help in the cure of Sexual Abuse?

Sexual abuse represents one of the most complex issues when we talk about the healing capacity of the body.

The wounds of abuse can be so deep and it seems that your own spirit has been hurt too, this is because this type of abuse puts you in a very vulnerable state; but the truth is that the spirit is always intact and resistant, ready to save us through healing practices.

There are many forms of abuse ranging from years of physical and emotional trauma to seeing yourself continue in a relationship you can't take anymore.

The castrating system in which we live makes us suffer incessant abuse from the first contacts with sexuality to the way we express it in our relationships.

When we want to cure abuse through sexuality, the first thing we need to do is get rid of the armor that we have built to avoid further abuse and that usually manifests itself with hatred for our own body and a negative image of it. They can also translate into overweight or eating disorders with anorexia and bulimia as a way of becoming invisible. Armoring can manifest itself in the loss of sensitivity in the sexual organs and the inability to receive pleasure through sex; and even the lack of personal boundaries and compulsive sex.

When our sexual energy is depleted we usually look for people and situations that match our abusers.

Tantra stimulates the healing response of the mind, in cases of abuse, it brings the person closer to the strength and beauty that is the very expression of their sexuality.

At first it can be a delicate process because when the energy starts to deconstruct the armor you may feel sensitive, as if raw. But when you leave this protection you will feel safe and empowered again and thanks to that you will also learn to say no, according to your natural and real limits.
