Unravelling in Shibari: Its Importance
Given that shibari involves tying your partner up in geometric patterns and shapes with rope, which is a very powerful experience, unravelling in shibari is crucial. When practicing this discipline, you create a beautiful decoration on the body of the other person. This action is about feeling empowered and getting in touch with your body—as well as that of your partner. Thus, the emotional connection with your partner is very intense. The exchange in said relationship has the ability to release emotional blocks that withheld us and awaken our sexual power.
Shibari: the Practice Itself
Shibari can take as long as you wish. Do not lose sight that it is not only about tying your partner. The whole experience can be very erotic. In addition, it can make you feel more connected to your partner than any other experience does. And, as mentioned before, one of the most important stages of the shibari experience is unravelling from your ties. We recommend to take twice a long time the initial tying took. The reason is that you are not only untying knots, but also removing the emotional blockages which hold you back during the shibari session.
Unravelling in Shibari: Rope Space
Feeling the sensation of the rope passing all over the body from the rigger, with intensity and passion, may cause you to experience “rope-space.” This state is similar to a trance in which both body and mind feel complete grace and abandon. In this stage, you might feel relaxed and protected, a sensation that comes with increased body awareness. Moreover, it might get you extremely turned on. Unravelling while in “rope-space” may often result in tears while becoming untied. The reason is that untying becomes the return to “reality”—and all the emotions you were feeling suddenly came to an end.
Unravelling: the Climax
Unravelling in shibari is also the point where you can experience full body energetic orgasms. These are a result of the vibrations throughout the body. Similarly, the orgasms combine with the sense of liberty your are experiencing, which heightens your senses and creates a feeling of euphoria.
Shibari takes you to a place where you have never been to before. You will definitely learn things about yourself—and what you really want in the bedroom.
