Posted by admin in Mal Weerarante on May 5, 2023
Mal Weeraratne is a British author, therapist and founder of the Tantric Journey School of Healing and Awakening, which offers professional training courses and workshops in London and around the world. He is known for his expertise in the field of tantra and has written several books on the subject, including “Emotional Detox Through Bodywork” and “How to Free Your Mind – The Practice of Natural Mindfulness”.
Mal Weeraratne’s approach to tantra is based on the principles of Taoism and Tantra, which underscore the connection between the body, mind and spirit and pursue the use energy as a tool for healing and spiritual growth. He believes that trauma and emotional blockages can be healed through tantric bodywork, which involves releasing emotional and physical tension through a combination of deep tissue massage, breathwork and emotional release techniques.
Taoism and Tantra are two distinct philosophical and spiritual traditions that originated in China and India, respectively. While they have different roots and historical contexts, there are some principles that they share. Both traditions emphasise the unity of all things and the interconnectedness of the universe. They reject the idea of a clear boundary between the self and the world. Both Taoism and Tantra place a great deal of importance on personal practice and experience. They see intellectual understanding as limited and incomplete without direct experience.
Both traditions take a holistic approach to human experience, recognising the importance of physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of life and of being in the moment and flowing with life rather than trying to control or resist it.
In both traditions, sexuality is viewed as an important part of the human experience and as a potential path to spiritual growth. Taoism and Tantra place a high value on nature and see it as a source of wisdom and inspiration. Personal growth and self-cultivation are seen as means of achieving spiritual transformation.
While there are some similarities between Taoism and Tantra, it is important to know that they are distinct traditions with their own unique beliefs and practices. Tantric Journey blends elements of Taoism and Tantra practices to promote healing and growth. It is based on the belief that the body holds emotional and energetic blockages that can be released through a combination of physical and emotional techniques. In Mal Weeraratne’s Tantric Journey, Taoist and Tantric principles are combined to create a holistic approach to healing. The therapy incorporates various techniques, including deep tissue bodywork, breathwork, and visualisation, to release blocked energy and emotions.
Taoist principles are used to ground the client, connecting them with the earth and helping them to release any negative emotions. Tantric practices are used to help clients release blocked energy and emotions using breathwork and touch. The therapy incorporates a form of bodywork called “yoni massage” (for women) and “lingam massage” (for men), which are designed to help clients connect to release any blocked emotions in the pelvic area. The blending of Taoism and Tantra in Tantric Journey creates a compelling approach to healing that aims to connect the client with their body, emotions and energy, promoting a sense of balance and harmony in all areas of life.
Mal Weeraratne’s simple body-work techniques

During the last number of years, it has been acknowledged more than ever that there is a connection between mental and physical well-being and that mental well-being is just as important as physical well-being. Mental health issues have been on the increase globally and even more so over the last 3 years resulting from the global world-wide pandemic, Covid-19. A person’s health is one of, if not the, most important possessions a person can have. Mal Weeraratne has been most of his life learning about and understanding the root causes of health and well-being and has dedicated his book ‘Emotional Detox Through Bodywork: A Woman’s Guide to Healing and Awakening’ to answering questions relating to how to heal and recovery from an imbalance within one’s body. As a pioneer in his field, Mal Weeraratne developed a ground-breaking approach to mental and physical well-being through the Body Therapy. Using a technique called Emotional Detox, the patient can experience relief from issues arising from the interaction between the body and the mind.
It is the premise of ancient eastern techniques, that there is a connection between the body and the mind and when there is an imbalance of either body or mind, this can seriously impact the other. In other words, a person born with a disability or a genetic illness, cannot be said to have “caused” this by themselves and that rather this is an outcome of circumstances over which they have had no control. This in turn may cause hardship on the individual’s life which affects their outlook, rendering them mentally imbalanced. A mental imbalance can be experienced as depression, thoughts of self-harm, or result in choices which are not favorable for that person, such as toxic or co-dependent relationships.
Likewise, when a person experiences an imbalance in their mental well-being, which could also result from genetics or chemical predispositions or resulting from them observing their exterior world and identifying problems and issues which cause them undue stress, resulting in disorders such as insomnia, weight loss or weight gain, an imbalance in hormones and so on. Similarly, that imbalance can affect the physical health of an individual and manifest in diseases such as heart problems, lowered immune systems which can result in susceptibility to contracting opportunistic bacteria and viruses, or leaving the body prone to the likes of irritable bowel syndrome, acne and chronic pain and fatigue.
No matter the source of a physical or mental problem, imbalances in one aspect of the person’s body can affect other aspects of the body in a never-ending cycle of ill-health, disease and even be the cause of accidents in their workplace or social life, as well as increasing thoughts of self-harm.
Mal Weeraratne’s simple body-work techniques will alleviate the body of ailments and illnesses which it suffers as the result of mental or physical health. As a wellness practitioner, the techniques used are non-invasive and complimentary to any of the usual allopathic treatments which a person may be using meaning there is no risk to the individual. If you are someone who can relate to the idea of augmenting your usual therapies, Mal Weeraratne may just have the answer you are looking for.
