Sunyata Satchitananda

Sunyata Satchitananda has been certified as a Tantric Healer since 2007 and a spiritual counselor and ordained minister since 1980. He is also a Reiki Master and Fine Art Photographer.

Sunyata began his study and practice of Tantra in 2001 and in late 2006 began offering sexual healing sessions using Tantric energy practices and principles. After several private sessions with mentor Carla Tara in 2007 Sunyata became certified as a Tantric Healer. He has since been in practice as a counselor, coach, and healer serving hundreds of clients—some of whom have come from other countries, and other States in the U.S., to have sessions with him—or they are international clients served via Skype sessions.

Many of Sunyata’s clients are also sexual healers as well as erotic guides, shamans, and Tantra teachers and it is insight from that communication that prompted him to write this book. Others in the field of sexual healing revealed that several female clients reported they felt sexually assaulted by their healer due to a lack of consent, communication, awareness and/or consideration. Sunyata realized there was a need for more information to be made available to protect clients from abuse and harm and to inform healers of how they can maintain high ethical standards as well as avoid mistakes that harm their clients.

The reported serious infractions of a client’s right to consent and safety while going through healing treatments made it clear that some frank and direct guidance on best practices that didn’t cause harm were needed. And so Sunyata has spent the last several years researching, writing and editing Safe Sexual Healing: a Guidebook for Healers and Clients.

‘Safe Sexual Healing: A Guidebook for Healers and Clients’ positively and constructively informs both healers and clients about what to do and expect in sexual healing sessions to create a container of trust and safety and to facilitate positive transformation and healing. It is filled with real world examples and informative suggestions to guide healers and clients in maintaining their Healing Alliance and in practicing Ahimsa—harmlessness during session treatments.
