David Deida

The mark of a true classic is that it becomes more relevant with the passage of time Twenty years ago, David Deida wrote The Way of the Superior Man share lessons on “how a man can grow spiritually while passionately tussling with the challenges of women, work, and sexual desire,” Today, men of all ages continue to struggle with these universal challenges, and the practical insights found in this book will help each one of us to give the gifts we were born to give. “It is time to evolve beyond the macho jerk ideal, all spine and no heart,” writes David Deida “It is also time to evolve beyond the sensitive and caring wimp ideal, all heart and no spine ” Including an all-new introduction by the author, The Way of the Superior Man invites a new generation of men to participate in the full expression of consciousness and love in the infinite openness of the present moment.

Love and relationships from a women's point of view.

The secret to enlightenment and great sex is revealed to be one and the same in this groundbreaking manual for adventurous lovers. David Deida was trained for decades in the art of spiritual and sexual awakening. Now he presents the ultimate collection of skills for opening to the physical, emotional, and spiritual rewards of intimate embrace. In paperback for the first time, The Enlightened Sex Manual teaches you how to transform simple "skin friction" into the depths and embodiment of ecstasy, how to develop sexual abilities as gifts of heart rapture and bodily surrender, how to achieve the principal types of orgasm-and all their varieties-and much more. For men and women, singles and couples of every sexual orientation, The Enlightened Sex Manual provides a complete program for sustaining "whole-body recognition of love's light" in the wild play of sexuality.Contents Part One: EnergyUse your breath to arouse and relax your genitalsRestrain your nervous systemUse your tongue like a circuit breakerUse your eyes to direct energyPart Two: OrgasmBypass ejaculations for greater pleasureRetrain the addiction to ejaculationCurb fidgetsGood ejaculations liberate energyOptimize ejaculations to maximize life's depthEjaculate when the body needs toUnderstand the three types of women's orgasmsEnjoy clitoral orgasmsDelight in vaginal orgasmsSurrender in the bliss of cervical orgasmsChoose when to orgasmAllow orgasmic variationPart Three: VariationsStimulate the sex pathsBite, slap, and pinch to move sexual energyMove energy through the lips, nipples, and genitalsStimulate the anusDo the feetThrust both deep and shallowConnect the cervix and penisVibrate quickly to increase and smooth out energyRelax your body and breathMake love for at least forty-five minutes Part Four: Sexual Energy ExercisesBreathe sexual energy in a circleBreathe genital energy upBreathe energy down the frontSeal your pelvic floorLock energy in your soft partsPraise "David Deida explains the heart and soul of women to men. As a woman, I've never felt so understood and validated. David's work is a key to helping men and women alike take their relationships one step further. Finally, a clear and brilliant guide to unraveling the mystery of relationships." Marci Shimoff, Co-author of Chicken Soup for a Woman's Soul "Being able to reach and live integrated sex, relationship, and transcendence is no easy task. It requires immense courage, wisdom, and above all, fearless loving. In Deida, all this gets included in one radical teaching. You'll learn how to open your heart and integrate the need to sleep with every attractive woman you see, deal appropriately with a woman's emotional chaos, give your gift to the word and lover, and finally transcend the whole lot by including it all." Vijay Rana, The Watkins Review "Deida brilliantly lays bare the hidden psychology of feminine and masculine and offers clear instructions for tapping into our deepest core and achieving true harmony through sexual intimacy. I feel that Deida has reached a new level of poetic genius in his writing, and his understanding of feminine psychology astounds me." Miranda Shaw, PhD, Author of Passionate Enlightenment: Women in Tantric Buddhism "David Deida's teachings on this central human concern, sexuality, emanate from a deeply trustworthy source. He has undergone his own rigorous training and practice, which manifests in precise, gentle, and thorough teachings. Many spiritual traditions, including Zen, have excluded or marginalized the sexual experience. David's work fills this gap, and gives us a mature approach for bringing the energetic, emotional, and physical experience of sex into our life and practice. And like Zen, the fruition of David's work is openness, compassion, and love." Genpo Roshi, Author of The Eye Never Sleeps

David Deida, internationally known for his work in personal growth and intimate relationships, shares the deep understandings and effective techniques that he has refined through his 20 years of consultation, research and spiritual practice. Learn how to keep your relationships growing--beyond the sexually neutralized roles so typical of today--and create a relationship that is spiritually erotic, sexually deep and passionately committed to love.

You are deeper than your life shows, and you know it. You are more loving than your relationships allow, more brilliant than your career suggests. In your secret depth of being, you are infinite, creative, boundless, and utterly unable to press your full glory into the world. Or so it seems. In Blue Truth, David Deida presents a treasury of skills and insights for uncovering and offering your true heart of purpose, passion, and unquenchable love. In part one, Deida shows you how to open as the entirety of the moment, feeling as deep inside and as far outside as you can, for as long as now opens. In part two, he reveals how to walk this path in the wilderness of intimate relationship, illuminating the art and play of sexual gifting, including how to expertly navigate the tangle of anger, jealousy, fear, lust, and much, much more.In June 2006, Blue Truth was named by Spirituality & Health magazine as one of the Best Spiritual Books of 2005, in the Personal Growth category.

Based on questions from women who have attended author David Deida's highly acclaimed relationships seminars, this must-have book puts male behavior under the microscope. Included are chapters on sex, work, relationships and communication. Interspersed throughout are sidebars that shed light on the many faces of men and help women grasp what makes them act the way they do.

When it comes to sex, most of us want more. The question more of what? According to David Deida, when the depth of intimacy you've been experiencing is no longer fulfilling to your heart and body―when you sense that sexuality should go far beyond an embrace of brief satisfaction―the time has come to explore your unique sexual path to the divine. In Finding God Through Sex, this brilliant writer and internationally renowned expert on spiritual sexuality presents a revolutionary new way to love―one in which sex literally becomes an erotic act of devotional surrender, "making love, magnifying love, from the boundless depth of your heart through every inch of your body and in merger with your lover." Through provocative vignettes that illuminate the many moods that color lovemaking, and direct instruction that speaks honestly to the masculine and feminine desires within each of us, Deida brings wisdom gained from 30 years' work with thousands of couples to illustrate the distinct yet complementary avenues men and women can skillfully travel toward untamed passion and sacred unity. What unfolds is an unparalleled road map to the place where we "love as the cosmos One loving itself as an other, yet remembering itself as One."

" Wild Nights cuts through the illusions of modern spirituality into the depth of life before God. Impure, soaked with all bodily liquids, pierced by clear recognition of death, wide opened with the power of love―living as love―in any moment of daily life. If you do not choose to be a hermit, if you want to practice awakening within relationships, in the realm where sex and death are such powerful momentums―you'd better read this book, and not only once."―Rabbi Ohad Ezrahi, author of Paths of EmpowermentMeet Mykonos, both scurrilous madman and the voice of truth. Wild Nights presents David Deida's remarkable account of his days with the unconventional teacher who revealed to him the deeper wisdom of the erotic path to the divine.From our very first encounter to the "burden of bliss" that is his parting gift, Mykonos challenges our understanding of what makes a spiritual life. Brutally candid, he offers his teaching to anyone ready to listen, with an uncanny ability to see into the hearts and minds of his students better than they can their own.Charged with provocative scenes of unbridled passion and play, Wild Nights explodes with spiritual insights into our choice to "open as love, or close and suffer"; yogic sexual techniques including circular breathing and expanding feeling beyond the self and into the heart of a lover; and why, for some, full sexual expression is a requirement of spiritual maturation.For its honest depiction of the spiritual teacher and student relationship―and the questions it demands we ask about our own sexuality― Wild Nights proclaims David Deida a guiding light in the often cloudy realm of sex and spirit.

Explore the Other Side of EnlightenmentDoes enlightenment have a dark side? It does, explains David Deida, but instead of closing to what seems unloving, we can learn to open as what we would rather avoid.In Instant Enlightenment, this maverick author and teacher offers a "rude awakening" through a collection of daring exercises and practices intended to provoke, challenge, and immediately reveal the ever-present "love that lives all things." Each pithy chapter encourages readers to blast the light of consciousness on the taboos we hide in shadow, from our ideas about sex and money to emotions and spirituality. Instant Enlightenment will surprise and possibly offend you—but it will lead you "fast and suddenly" to the realization of the sacred entirety of your experience."Dive straight into this book. Open to any page and read for two minutes, and you'll see that you are instant enlightenment."—Ken Wilber, author of A Brief History of Everything

"Waiting to Love is David Deida's most challenging book yet. These essays heartfully expose the misunderstanding commonly encountered on the spiritual path that awakening is always about feeling good. True freedom is the art of relaxing right now, surrendering open to the present moment and all that it may contain -- this is the fire of real love, spontaneous liberation, and lasting transformation. Dive into the flames with Deida and find out who you really are." David Deida is the author of The Way of the Superior Man.

Osnovni vodič za moške (in dobrodošlo branje za ženske) o tem, kako lahko moški ponudi svoje avtentične sposobnosti in darove, ostane v predani ljubezni svoboden in neovirano živi iz svoje najgloblje resnice.Pričujoča knjiga je vodič za tako imenovanega novega moškega. Gre za moškega, ki se ne sramuje svoje moškosti, ki je samozavesten, pozna svoj namen in smer ter skladno in s humorjem živi svoje življenje, kakršno si je izbral, in je hkrati občutljiv, spontan, duhovno živ ter srčno predan odkrivanju svoje najgloblje resnice, ki jo potem tudi udejanja.To je moški, ki ga ženskost popolnoma prevzame. To je moški, ki si žensko rad vzame z velikim zanosom in ljubeznijo (ne v starem, okorelem mačo slogu), da se oba razblinita v popolnosti ljubezni same. V svetu skozi delo in spolnost predano uteleša ljubezen, kar počne kot svoboden moški, ki ga ne omejujejo ne družbeni dogovori ne lastni strahovi.Novi moški ni dežurni postavljač ali nasilnež, ki iz svojega strahu ustrahuje druge ljudi. Prav tako ni zasanjan, plehek in omahljiv »new age moški« brez hrbtenice, ki se samo prijazno nasmiha.To je moški, ki je sprejel obe svoji notranji plati, moško in žensko, a se nobene posebej ne oprijema. Nobene potrebe nima, da bi imel vedno prav in nima potrebe po nenehni varnosti, sodelovanju in izmenjevanju kot androgeni Mr. Nice Guy * (Prijazni fant). To je moški, ki preprosto živi iz svojega najglobljega bistva, brez strahu uporablja svoje sposobnosti in deli darove ter skozi minljivi trenutek čuti večnost življenja in je popolnoma predan širjenju ljubezni.---DAVID DEIDA je mednarodno uveljavljena avtor, znan po svojem transformativnem delu napodročju osebne rasti in intimnih odnosov.

Draga mea iubita. Ghidul femeii pentru a trai plenar experienta sexualitatii si extazul cel mai profund al iubirii Draga mea iubita este o carte care vorbeste despre iubirea romantica, vazuta ca un templu, un laborator al lui Dumnezeu, o modalitate sublima de transformare spirituala". David Deida ofera asupra acestui subiect perspectiva unei oportunitati sacre a sufletului de a transcende limitarile egoului si a face saltul cuantic catre noi posibilitati emotionale, inca necunoscute. Draga mea cititoare, Iti daruiesc capitolele care urmeaza ca si cum ai fi iubita mea. Indiferent daca esti singura sau casatorita, iti daruiesc aceste cuvinte la fel cum le-as oferi iubitei mele. Chiar daca nu ne vom intalni niciodata, doresc sa iti ofer posibilitatea de a-ti simti inima batand impreuna cu inima mea. Ani la rand am tinut cursuri si seminarii in intreaga lume, unde am intalnit femei si barbati care si-au deschis inimile, impartasindu-si reciproc cele mai profunde dorinte. Am descoperit astfel ca reusim sa ne cunoastem mult mai profund prin inima unei persoane care ne iubeste, care doreste sa se deschida fata de noi si sa ne vada asa cum suntem, sa ne asculte si sa ne simta dorintele inimii. Iar dorinta cea mai profunda a inimii oricui a ta si a mea deopotriva este aceea de a darui si a primi iubire. Dorul pe care il simti acum in inima ta este la fel cu cel simtit de fiecare om. Daca vei simti acest dor deschizandu-ti inima fata de mine, sper ca vei reusi sa te cunosti mult mai profund prin inimile tuturor acelora care s-au deschis in adevar si incredere in fata mea, inspirandu-mi aceste cuvinte. Toate inimile doresc sa se deschida fata de Dumnezeu, fata de iubirea divina care se revarsa din abundenta asupra noastra a tuturor. Indiferent daca esti sau nu o persoana religioasa, inima ta aspira sa se deschida nelimitat, sa fie vazuta si sa se ofere in totalitate pe sine. Asta inteleg eu prin a te deschide fata de Dumnezeu" a te deschide si a simti inima fiecarui om ca fiind expresia divina a iubirii. Sexualitatea este una dintre expresiile divine ale iubirii, sau cel putin asa ar trebui sa fie. Iti ofer capitolele care urmeaza asa cum i-as oferi inima iubitei mele, pentru ca tu sa iti deschizi inima fata de Dumnezeu si sa simti iubirea divina, indiferent daca esti singura sau intr-o relatie, indiferent daca faci dragoste sau faci un ceai. Speranta mea este ca iti vei deschide inima citind aceste cuvinte si vei ajunge sa intelegi mai profund cat de mare este aspir

How can love come through each one of us more fully? How can we give our deepest gifts in our relationships? David Deida discusses how the expression of our sexuality can evolve through three stages. The third stage begins when you become disillusioned with trying to get what you want (stage one) and equally disillusioned with trying to give others what they want (stage two). In this provocative Sounds True Pearl, he explains why: It is only when you offer yourself to believe in something larger than you that you are happy."

In 'De kracht van echte mannen' wijst David Deida de moderne man de weg naar een daadkrachtig, waarachtig en vrij leven. In dit baanbrekende werk stelt Deida dat seksuele gelijkheid de grootste oorzaak is van het ontbreken van geluk in relaties. Seksuele gelijkheid heeft namelijk geleid tot seksuele neutraliteit, waardoor het vuur in de relatie dooft. Het is echter niet te laat, stelt Deida, om het vuur van de seksuele hartstocht opnieuw aan te wakkeren. Door onze vrouwelijke of mannelijke kern weer in ere te herstellen, kunnen we onze passie naar een hoger niveau te tillen. David Deida is internationaal bekend om zijn transformerende werk op het gebied van persoonlijke groei en intieme relaties. Hij geeft over de hele wereld lezingen, seminars en consulten. Zijn boeken zijn in meer dan vijfentwintig talen vertaald, en hij schreef ook een vrouwelijke tegenhanger van 'De kracht van echte mannen'. Dat boek heet 'De kracht van echte vrouwen'.

Jeder Moment ist der wichtigste Ihres Lebens! Mit unbändiger Kraft, Energie und Intensität fordert Deida den Leser dazu heraus, in jedem Moment das zu sein, was er wirklich ist. Einfach nur das. Pure Wahrhaftigkeit, nacktes Gewahrsein, ein permanentes "Sich Öffnen" für das, was jetzt gerade ist. "Sei die Totalität des Augenblicks" ist der Kern seiner Botschaft, die er auf Leben und Sterben, auf Liebe und Sexualität anwendet. "Die Wahrheit zu kennen, bringt herzlich wenig. Sie zu spüren, ist ein Ausdruck tiefen Empfi ndens. Was jedoch zählt, ist, sie zu leben." "David Deida bringt die Spiritualität auf den Boden der Realität und wieder dorthin zurück, wo sie hingehö in unseren Körper. Seine geradlinige Art, uns spirituell stärker zu sensibilisieren, ist bei den heutigen spirituellen New-Age- und konservativen Strömungen eine willkommene Abwechslung. Deida hilft uns, REAL zu werden in einer Welt, in der Wirklichkeit ein immer seltener werdendes Gut ist."
