David
Deida Video Night and Q&A
|
 |
The important differences between sexual therapy, sexual yoga, and spiritual practice |
|
How to lovingly express the extremes of passion in your sexual embrace |
|
How to skillfully channel bodily pleasure, in yourself and in your partner |
|
The relation of masculine and feminine, as David uses those terms, to Ken Wilber’s Integral model |
|
The yogic art of courtship –- authentic relating to a new romantic partner |
|
What to do with yearning –- for a man, a woman, or the Kosmos |
|
How to stand supremely free in your masculine consciousness, and how to shine to the ends of the universe with your feminine radiance |
David’s art as a teacher is to evoke the role of sexuality in your
spiritual life. Through concrete examples, question and answer, and
audience participation, David illuminates the art of sexual yoga as a
living component of the modern spiritual path.
"Beyond post-modern irony is sex, ecstasy, and David Deida. Trust me."

David Deida Quotes
"Trust, love, what we call sexy, who we trust in a business situation, are
all based on how open we are. Openness is bodily openness, muscular
relaxation, heart openness as opposed to hiding behind some emotional
wall, and spiritual openness, which is actually feeling so fully into the
moment that there's no separation between you and the entire moment."
From "Opening Spiritually and Sexually," an audiotape by David Deida
"You
need to feel your man's trustable presence before you will open your heart
and body without guard. It's a step-by-step process of learning. He
learns to be more present, you learn to be more open."
--From "Finding God Through Sex," a book by David Deida
"One
of the deepest feminine pleasures is when a man stands full, present, and
unreactive in the midst of his woman’s emotional storms. When he stays
present with her, and loves her through the layers of wildness and
closure, then she feels his trustability, and she can relax".
David Deida
"Spiritual practice is the capacity to offer your love even when you feel
hurt, closed down, tense, angry, misunderstood, or hated."
David Deida
"One misunderstanding is that if you do the right thing, then life's
storms will stop. If you do the right thing, the storms actually get
bigger. This is because they know they can't blow you down like they used
to, and now it's going to take a
lot more energy to find out if you are conscious."
-- From "At Your Edge: Spiritual and Sexual
Wisdom for Men," an audiotape by David Deida
"As a body in a world, here is our choice: we
can be more loving or less loving. That's it. We can relax as the entire
moment's show of love's swirl, feeling open as all--a vicious rainstorm,
tweeting birds, our lover's lips, a sense of worthlessness--or we can
close to some aspect of experience, pulling away as if we were separate."
-- From "Waiting To Love," a book by David Deida
"Masculine anger is always
because you are feeling constrained, trapped by life. Feminine anger is
always because you are feeling unloved."
-- David Deida
"Men who have lived significant lives are men who never waited: not for
money, security, ease, or women."
-- David Deida
"The simplicity of it is
this: give everything you have to give in every moment, completely."
--David Deida
