What you get from Shibari

What you get from Shibari, like everything in life, depends on the motive and intention behind your practice. There are a lot of misconceptions about Shibari. They say it is only about sex, violent, degrading, or even a form of torture! However, you will definitely find some benefits from Shibari.

Practicing Shibari will give you improved body positivity, empathy and sensitivity. Moreover, you will achieve a deeper intimacy with your partner, as well as a strong creative and artistic stimulation. Some of the benefits will be: Mindfulness, thanks to the stimulation from so many angles, where your body feels present and your mind feels very present in a way that you have hardly experienced before. Awareness is something that you will also experience, you will become aware of where you are and the sensations happening throughout your body, where there won’t be time to think about anything else than what you are experiencing, and where you will be capable to feel 100% your body and your sensations, where you will figure out the difference between good pain and bad pain and will be able to feel and see what your body is capable of.

Communication, I think this is one of the biggest benefits about Shibari, where you will learn to have deep communication with your partner, you will learn what your body likes, what it doesn’t and you will learn how to communicate with someone else deeply, without using words, just with your body communication, and where you will be sharing all your sensations and experiences with your partner.

Once you try it, you will acknowledge all the benefits it will bring to both you and your partner. These include a stronger relationship which will be recharged with communication, trust, respect and unforgettable Shibari experiences.
