In 1943, American psychologist Abraham Maslow published his work “A Theory of Human Motivation”. It describes the hierarchy of human needs.
At the time of publication, few people knew about chakras, but if you combine these two concepts, you can see some similarities.
Maslow divided all needs into seven levels. These levels are arranged in descending order of importance – a person cannot experience high-level needs until he needs more primitive things.
Let's try to combine the needs model with the chakra model.
There are many articles on this topic on the Internet. In some of them, both models match perfectly. My point of view:
1. Physiological needs – satisfying hunger, thirst, etc. The first chakra – Muladhara – fits this description.
2. The need for security – to feel protected. The second chakra – Svadhisthana – fits this description.
3. The need for love and belonging to a group. There is a split here: love corresponds to the fourth chakra Anahata, belonging to a group — the third chakra Manipura.
4. The need for respect and approval — also a split: respect is closer to the third, approval (acceptance) — closer to the fourth.
5. The need for knowledge — the thirst for new knowledge. The sixth chakra Ajna fits this description.
6. Aesthetic needs — the thirst to fill life with beauty, art, creativity. The fifth chakra Vishuddha fits this description.
7. The need for self-actualization — the desire to reveal inner potential. The seventh chakra Sahasrara fits this description.
As we can see, some levels match well, some are slightly split, some have swapped places. But more or less both models match.
And what does yoni massage have to do with it?
The task of the massage therapist during yoni massage is to guide the girl through the first four needs – physiology, safety, love and respect. First four chakras.
As soon as this happens, the movement of energy starts in the body and often the realization of the remaining needs occurs: knowledge, creativity, self-actualization.
Other details of the massage are described in the online course about yoni massage.
