He was noted for a particularly exuberant portrayal while wearing the costume.

'Before I got into the costume, I would pray and ask God to allow his loving divine spirit to flow through me through the costume and let that draw the kids. Love heals and allows you to continue to grow.'ĭavid Joyner describes how his yoga practices played into his work when, from 1991 to 2001, he portrayed Barney the Dinosaur. 'Even when you have emotionally blocked energy, the best way to remove it is to remove it with love, and then replace it with God’s divine love. Now, though, he doesn’t use his yogic skills to entertain children, but to work as a healer. Everything stems, grows, and evolves from love.' 'The energy I brought up in the costume is based on the foundation of tantra, which is love. He says that his current work isn’t entirely unrelated to his work wearing the Barney costume. 'Even through G-spot massage, it’s still not the same energy that flows.' These are fairly common tantric terms, but we’d mention that, as the article notes, there are many tantric practices that don’t even require touching. 'When the lingam and the yoni meet, there’s a certain energy that takes place that hands on the body alone cannot create,' In an interview with Vice, the former Barney and Friends actor describes his tantric sex business in unabashed detail. Services include a ritual bath, chakra balancing, and a massage. He charges $350 for a full, 3-to-4-hour session, and boasts 30 clients. Your first thought might be 'oh no, another cult guy.' After Smallville star Allison Mack was exposed as a 'Master' in a sex slave cult and actor Andrew Keegan started his own religion, who could blame you?ĥ4-year-old David Joyner, who started this business in 2004, only sees women as his clients. He describes how how 'worships' his 'goddess' clients, helping them to become spiritually unblocked while also helping them to experience powerful orgasms. If your guess was that he currently runs a tantric sex business, congratulations. If you had to guess what the actor who portrayed Barney the Dinosaur for a decade is doing now, what would you say?
