I was totally new to shibari and I entered the space with 0 experience. First of all, Amana and I talked about consent, meaning boundaries, desires and the establishment of a safeword with which the session would be immediately ended if I wanted it to be. He assured me that there will be a contonius flow of communication during the shibari session and that made me feel safe from the beginning. 

 Shibari enables to talk through the body without words. 

Amana approaches every move with extreme attention and consideration, turning the whole experience into an enjoyable and flowing process. 

 While he was appliying the ropes, I felt an instant relief, a deep breathing and my body was getting softer. The most beautiful experience was Amana's presence, in which I felt that everything was allowed to be there and I was able to surrender into trust. I realized that I love all aspects of Shibari, and I discovered how much it relaxes me, how much I enjoy being tied and at no point did I feel that I wasn't free.
