A central part of a ritual is touching and consciously exploring the body, often in a safe, respectful setting, in order to release blockages and harmonize energies. Rituals offer space for touching and physical proximity in order to process what has been done and to consolidate the energy gained.
It is important to emphasize that rituals can be interpreted and practiced in different ways. Tantra should be based on consent, respect and understanding of one's own comfort zone.
