This style guides the "nawa jujun" (rope bottom) to focus using breathing & meditaion techniques to center her "ki" energy, as she surrenders to the rope Master's bindings of pleasure.  A full realm of ritualistic and erotic senses are used to help her find this soul space.  Combined with his energies, the movement of her energies results in sensations of internal pleasure and altered states of euphoric consciousness and even full body energy orgasms.   

The word Nawaikido is made up of the following Japanese word construction:

nawa = rope

aikido = a martial art centered on the way of harmony

aikido is made up of three words:

ai = love

ki = harmony, center of energy

do = the way

Hence nawaikido shibari style is:

    "the way of love and harmony through rope binding"
