Living the Divine Masculine, an Interview with Shantam Nityama, Sexual Healer
I conducted this interview a few years back for What Makes a Man: 22 Writers Imagine the Future where you can listen to the full audio, but it seems relevant for One Big Happy Family, too.
When I did the interview for KPFA in Berkeley, I was exploring the way men can, through supporting women, support a part of themselves. Nityama has taken this to an incredibly dynamic place, and spends his life offering sessions of sexual healing to women
This version is from the site Extatica.
RW: Tell me a little bit about what you do and how you came into this work.
SN: It is sex that brings us onto the planet. We must realize that if we have difficulty with the primal energy that brought us here, then we are going to be mired in self-hatred and be confused about the very thing that has brought us into being.

This was absolutely amazing and informative as well as affirming. I literally broke down in tears several times while reading this. I had a strong physical reaction. My breathing elevated and almost left me completely at times. I could not sit still while reading this, my body rocked or swayed. Some of these things I have known/felt my entire life. But I've been told as a man I should not feel this way and these things should be tamped down as if it were gravel to be walked upon for my entire life. For me, these were words of release and acceptance.
Yes, ... Nityama charges bodywork at US$500 an hour, or $1,000 for a 2hr "full body session" ... phone sessions for even his full-group sessions are expensive ($400p/individual for 3-4 hrs, where he virtually just hits "replay") Nityama is just another embodiment of archetypal US Kapitalist-opportunist ... this observation does not dismiss the insight he may have on sex-spirit (they are liberating), but in my value-frame, given the premium to market rate he charges, he is an opportunist whose authenticity is thus thin .. (Germaine Greer, Betty Friedman, Simone de Beauvoir.. they cost as much as their books and were equally liberating at the time)... Nityama's integrity - not a genuine generous consciousness-raising spirit, even if his sexual-insights are advanced...given the mula he demands $$$$ - I have encountered inspiring, dedicated authentic US practitioners (among them: Byron Katie, Wayne Dyer) who share themselves at reasonable market rate!!, ... when I see Nityama's US-Kapitalist style pricing (esp for group settings where he does 'replay'), I do sick-up a bit - so 'Anthony Robbins/John DeMartini'-style, even if I can acknowledge that they/Nityama have some powerful, ground-breaking insights ... they obviously PRIMARILY operate at the material/EGO level, which belies their pronouncements of desiring to ultruistically raise human 'consciousness' ..they limit accessibility to user-pays (ie.they privatise not socialise their message!)... Nityama, no differently, commodifies himself .. strange: the "US prophets" are typically "US profit-eers" ... (with some exceptional exceptions) ..

when I see Nityama's US-Kapitalist style pricing, I do sick-up a bit. Very Expensive. But I think Healing of such level deserve this much price.

It is an interesting post about living the divine masculine: an interview with Shantam Nityama on this important issue. I've found the post to be informative. Thanks.
I've discovered some thing new and dynamic. I think it sounds so good for those who are striving to come out of such mires. It is a nice encouraging post. keep it up.
It is such a serious issue with women who are in thick of the mire that any one in this profession of giving healing sessions would be charging very high price. Do such healing sessions bring real change in the lives of those women? The number of women suffering from such trauma is so high in the world that one shantam nityama is not enough. Nice discussion.
It is good to hear that he imparts healing sessions to those traumatized victims, but the view that it is sex that brings us onto the planet, is contrary to all forms of ethics. First of all we are humans and sex comes in the later part of our life and not as a prime object but as a means to better relations. However, it is a nice post.
I am so glad to hear it! It's a powerful piece. I'm sorry it hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. I also found it extremely powerful and healing. Much love. Rebecca
It is quite interesting to see the divine masculine working towards protecting the fairer but weaker sex. It is pleasing to go through the refreshing article. Thanks.
This was such an amazing piece and it should deserves more attention.
Extatica was a great version of the situation.
It was very interesting !
However, these are not the right kind of stones to stumble upon in the society as of late these stories are falling apart. In search of true light!
Thanks for sharing! I'm looking at the different interview and it looks very well done. I'm counting the time before my vacation to Orlando, FL so I can have some fun in the sun! Thanks!
Interview with Shantam Nityama is a big thing and you have done it quite well.
Can anyone vow for this Nityama guy?
Look at his homepage: http://www.nityama.com/blog/2008/02/demo-chicago.html
He is alleged to make a woman, nude, under all male bystanders' eyes, to reach orgasms without touching her. Just waiving his hands on her nude body.
In another clip he digitally stimulated the same woman's G spot vigorously to make her squirt--again, surrounded by bystanders.
First, is THAT real? Waiving hands and make a nude woman orgasms? I would be very interested to see serious researchers examine that. And second, stimulating a female client on her private part? I really am not sure whether it's ethical or not. Seems someone's asking the same question but got no reply:

And third, yes, he's demanding tons of money.
So, really? Anybody?
PS: Some seems to be able to do things like he does:

Really, I don't know what to think now.

I have found the post very interesting as it offers sexual healing to those traumatized women. One thing I couldn't understand is that the post seems to be worshiping the hero not the heroine as masculine is stressed unduly. Prevention is better than cure, but healing ...
Moving from country to country teaching workshops on relating, Shantam Nityama induces spiritual transformation on every level.
The next revelation I had was the relationship between spirituality and sex is like the relationship between a butterfly and a caterpillar: If the caterpillar is not in good health and not strong, then you’re not going to have a butterfly, or you are going to get a very weak and scrawny butterfly. So I started to realize that in order for people to open up spiritually, they had to come back and totally embrace their sexual energy and be clear about it in order for them to take that same energy and transform themselves.
I discovered something new and dynamic. I think that sounds as good for those who are struggling to get out of peatlands. This is a nice uplifting message. keep it up
