A Shibari book that goes beyond tying techniques

Knowing Shibari techniques, figures and ties is not always enough to understand what truly happens between partners. Rope also involves listening, observation, clear intentions, respect for boundaries and the quality of the relationship.

In Beyond the Ropes, Seb Kinbaku connects his experience as a Shibari artist and teacher with tools from Neuro-Linguistic Programming. He does not present Shibari as therapy or NLP as an absolute truth. Instead, he offers avenues for reflection to help readers observe, communicate and practise more consciously.

What will you find in this e-book?

  • Shibari approached as a relational language;
  • verbal and non-verbal communication;
  • trust, consent and boundaries;
  • presence, listening and observation;
  • NLP-inspired tools applied with discernment;
  • introspective questions and key points to remember;
  • resources and appendices adapted for digital reading.

Who is “Shibari & NLP: Beyond the Ropes” for?

This book is intended both for people who already practise Shibari and for those who wish to discover its human and relational dimension. It will also appeal to readers interested in communication, trust, consent and self-awareness.

This is not a manual for learning complex figures. Its purpose is to shed light on everything that surrounds technique: entering into a relationship, expressing an intention, remaining attentive to the other person’s reactions and creating a responsible experience.

An enriched 156-page digital edition

The e-book contains 156 pages and is supplied in EPUB format. Its layout is designed for comfortable reading on compatible phones, tablets, computers and e-readers. An interactive table of contents makes it easy to move between chapters.

Once payment has been confirmed, the file is available for immediate download from the store. There is no parcel to wait for and no shipping fee.
