Awareness in sex creates love and connection, says author Diana Richardson. She has spent 25 years teaching couples about sex as a form of meditation where longing and attraction don’t die. Are you open minded? Are you open to explore? Learn how sex can bring healing and connection to your relationship in this thought-provoking talk.

Diana Richardson is one of today’s leading authorities on human sexuality. She has written 8 books on how in practical ways a person can experience a more fulfilling sex and love life. One of her bestsellers was translated and published under the title "Zeit für Weiblichkeit", a book well celebrated in the German speaking world. Born in South Africa in 1954, she first qualified as a lawyer (B.A.LLB), and then she trained as a massage therapist (ITEC) in the UK. Her interest in the body and healing prompted an intense personal exploration into the union of sex and meditation - the essence of Tantra. Since 1993, together with her partner, she has been sharing her insights and experiences with couples who travel from many different parts of the world to participate in their informative and life changing workshops in Switzerland.

I did this on accident once with my partner. I was just feeling very focused, and in love, and it just happened. It felt like warm euphoria throughout my body, but a light, positive euphoria… it gave me like a 3-4 hour long after glow where I couldn’t speak afterwards. Then I happy cried, and felt uplifted for like a whole day after. Maybe it’s why I’m so in love with him to this day, while he’s still catching up ;)
I think this is one of the most underrated topics ever....
It's about how to handle your literal life force...
True!
This is the way it should be... slowing down... focusing on your partner...little waves rather than mountain peaks... tenderness... eye to eye contact... and looking at tantra.... I like it thanks to Diana
Diana Richardson's work is revolutionary if you take the time to experience it. Like she says 'don't believe me' try it... 'awareness generates love and nurtures connection.'
Janet, couldn't agree more with you! - and, for full disclosure, your words put me at ease a bit, as I first though I am nuts when reading many of the comments above. Diane R. is genuine and points to a precious experience that I am so happy to discover ( a bit late in life) - but what shocked me was many of the folks commenting above would dedicate their time to listen through a presentation that went *entirely* above their heads and minds ;-).............thanks you for your post!
Thanks Peter. I agree. Glad it supported you!

It's my nature to think fully of all the aspects of the thing I'm doing but unfortunately my partner is not that, she is in a hurry most of the time so that she could finish 3-6 climaxes quickly against 1. But I don't deny my intense pleasure with that ☺️
This video should have millions of views! Thank you Diana Richardson
That was very good!! That talk needs to be broadcast all over the world!
dee jackson Marnia Robinson is a disciple of Diana. I highly recommend her book Cupid’s Poison Arrow. This style of love making will become as popular as Yoga and meditation.
It is!
Along with my wife of 25 years, I recently spent a week with Diana and her husband Michael in learning ways to bring increased presence and, it we're lucky, joy to our relationship. Blessed by and grateful for the experience and we look forward to returning for more. Thank you and keep up the great work, Diana!

Thank you Diana, attending to the love-making retreat was heaven for My beloved and Myself ...This is what came up to me during the retreat : I can imagine that love making in presence is one of the reasons why I chose to incarnate ... Thank you so much for offering this to us and humanity through the great 'work' you do !
What a wonderful revelation! Thank you Diana Richardson.
This is the ultimate way to make love and connect with your partner. It’s a mind, body and soul connection that is incredibly intense and deeply intimate. I highly recommend it. 😉

What a brilliant presenter, smooth, well paced and clearly knows her subject!

Excellent talk!! This wisdom and information needs to go mainstream. I've read two of Diana's books and highly recommend them! I wish she mentioned the word "karezza" though.
This broad is clueless about what a man thinks ,ugh.
@@markdemell3717 You keep repeating yourself about "clueless" in your comments. How do you know what "a man" (in general, other than yourself) thinks? Your comments surely tell more about yourself than about the topic: Did somebody at all say clueless in any comment...?
A MOST INTERESTING WOMAN TO LISTEN TO A MESSAGE TO LEARN AND PRACTICE FOR ALL COUPLES THANK YOU FOR THIS DIANA
Ms. RIchardson is 100 % correct. Her methods and talk is truly wonderful!
Love her analogy with the type of fire you build....a slow, 2-3 hour stoking the flames sounds ideal.
Mojjhh
What is wrong with a raging bonfire at first then stoke it for a few hours. Nothing! Depends on what your intentions are with Tantra.
Tantra is also about teleportation using the energy from 2 because it’s very difficult for one to generate the energies needed to perform such a task.
Modern day Tantra is nothing like it’s former self. Tantra has way way more uses than what is being taught today.
I like the timing of encountering this video. really, thinking of my own journey, I've seen we've all been needing these ideas for a long time.
Sagenerd - RIGHT????
That was amazing, I took notes and I thank you for such a wonderful presentation 🙌🙏💋💜😄
Extremely high quality talk....!
Ascend in Love.... Great Presentation!
It works in everything else in life. Once you have a goal, then focus on the process rather than on the goal.
I love this information......
This is such a vibrant talk , great!!
Beautiful message, especially at the end. Thank you ♥️
I had a smoke after that talk.
Lovely to see you and listen to your presentation...love Bhaven
The timing of this video for my personal life, and the soul positive outcome that could come from it, is very interesting. They say that timing IS everything, lol
Such a beautiful aspect on life. I hope my partner of forty years has the same experience.
Thankyou lady for such an reminder, love from india
Great talk. Thanks for insights
Thanks Diana ...
Beautiful, thank you.
Such a beautiful woman...I like the manner in which she presents...
She is absolutely gorgeous. Such an elegant woman, tasteful, and her hair is legendary, what an awesome mane :)
She seems like some weird cult leader ,ugh.
Bravo! Thankful!
This is amazing. Thank you so much ♥️
I just love rhe softness and cadence of her voice
Thank you mam for such a valuable information
Wow this is powerful, respect!
Sometimes all it takes is to relax, take your time and enjoy the experience.
This old broad is like a weird cult leader ,blah,blah .I need no lesson on how to do it right .ugh.I stopped here out of curiosity and ended up laughing .With the right partner I could go on all weekend ,with the wrong partner ,I just want to finish and get out.
This so called " old broad" is probably a good lay, diffently wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers.
Wow. She needs to collaborate with Esther Perel
Very well stated and a great video..
😍her hair really is beautiful.. and I love the lesson here
ThankYou 💜
wow thank you ... so much :) love it so much ...
Very interesting. Thanks.
Everything she says is true about being mindful.
Good presentation 👍👍
Beautiful message thanks a lot
Amazing
Mindful vs Mind-filled 🤯🤯🤯. My mind is blown.
Very good and educative thanks
Well said! Thanks so much! Excellent!!!
Very good.
Great talk. Interesting point of view.
Although you have no idea how much I know .. but it was fun to watch..
Useful.
Thanks! ACIM lesson 65: My only function is the one God gave me. 🎇
Very educational video💖
Her hair is gorgeous :)
That was awesome!!
Not really ,she is a guru flake. I need not a lesson ,just a passionate lover who could match my passion.
God bless you.
What a beautiful person, great talk too.
Great talk thank you
Great...
Thank you for speaking on this. I tried it last night. It works❣❣❣
Just you and your toy? This broad is a flaky cult leader guru just selling snake oil books.
That's good you are still having fun
Love Her Long Hair!
It must take years of practice to achieve that!
There definitely meaning to the song "Slow Ride"
Perfect!
The goal should be to make each other happy because you love each other are you married each other or both.
I really liked the suggestions in this video, and think that lots of people would benefit from this. However, I didn't like the gender stereotypes of the man being always ready to go and the woman needing to warm up. It can definitely be the other way around! Overall, awesome Ted Talk.
I think she meant most man or most women. But certainly a wisdom worth reaching.
I want to talk
Yes it can be the other way around, but it’s rare.

Diana Richardson I'm from India you are really really great in explaining it
she did this 5 yr reasearch in osho aashram
India ,land of a million pagan gods ! This old broad is a flake.
85% to climax and back to embracing. This approach usually works for those over 35 due to biology. You are all great at the style at your age. As she says don’t believe her. Believe your own style and results by intending with ❤️!
ZTruth NY really ?
Blah.blah.blah ,this broad is clueless.
U r 100% right
I find that many couples who devote themselves to Tantra will be open for exchange with other partners as well. So in reality instead of creating a deeper bond, you can run the risk of loosing your relationship altogether. Tantra may not be the cause here, but it's certainly an area that attracts people with commitment phobia.
Great
People who don't believe animals can think aren't paying much attention.
Welcome this is enough
I love this
Very mindful session 👏👏
Sadly, most people are even less aware than (what many perceive that) animals are, because it requires a certain level of awareness (which, most lack) to have the desire to seek more [awareness].

@@chadcooper3183 That's messed up dude ,ugh.
I bet your a open minded woman
I came just on hearing her describing it
I always have to chuckle when humans think they know what animals are thinking.
Magic Handz I similarly have to chuckle when humans act like they are not themselves animals...
The illusion of choice makes us arrogant, and think we are different from other animals.
Yes, those assertions of hers really did not resonate. Still watching...
I know exactly what animals think.
Hamster: Ooo look at that new neighbor! Her sand hole is so perfect! And her fur is so shiny... I feel the tension between my little legs... I need to have tiny fur balls with her!!!!! NOW!!! *hamster runs to his neighbor and becomes humpster*
J. S. 😂....”Humpster”

YESS!!!!!👏✨
oh..i observed so many philosphers ..scholers..poets have some where this magical link with india on awareness enlightenment things..wow
God bless her....
Tho only the patient once'll experience it

made me think
Made me go ,blaaah. Guru flaky lady .I need not a lesson from her ,hahaha.
*Love making is like a meditation !!! @ **15:55*
You clearly don't know what meditation is.

Check the video @ 4.09
@@Madhra2k24 .....what, you think she knows what meditation is ? These are nonsense terms people use when they have something to sell so people like you will pay attention. Seems to work !
@@cspace1234nz
What is she selling and what did I buy???
why don't you enlighten us as to what meditation is
Its funny how mindful and mindfilled are used as opposite ideas by her, it goes to show that opposites can be the same in some way, for example, saying its cold and saying its warm is the same statement just with different implied measures
sum gal Well stated! I wish more could be as enlightened.
There are relative measures of being both mindful and "mind filled", just like there are many facets to one's personality. I do not like the analogy of cold and warm, though. Coldness is only relative to the object that you are comparing it with that has a higher energy level. For example, when you add ice to a glass of water at room temperature, you are not cooling the water. Instead, the water is transferring energy to the ice and heating it.
Damn
whatsup914 mindful and mindfilled are also relative to the state one postulates as being normal, someone thats relativeky mindful in our society can be seen as very unmindful for example in a buddhist temple
Opposite ideas? Or different stages of same function?
I choose to make Love...⚘🙏
The point I was focused on is that you deny the emotional life of animals. As an alternative learning experience perhaps you could spend time with them, outside the clinical setting. May I suggest before you do start, perhaps reading, with an open mind, a few books with books by Jane Goodall.
I have no intention in getting into a right and wrong discussion, so if you wish to have the last word, just write back. TED talks are wonderful. Nowhere else have I found such interesting topics and diverse opinions. As I stated before, I believe the practice of mindfulness is a great gift to humanity.
That's a respectful argument you got right there man, people like you are great in this world, just saying.
Have you ever considered to actually *sample*, i.e. experience what Diane is sharing about in this talk? - there is a chance it might open up a whole new world, an entirely new way of being, one that gets us out of our heads and minds, and unites us with creation in ways that are "out of this world".................. just sayin' ;-)
Well now that's kinda creepy
The sad part is most people do not have time for all this. From children to lost erections a lot of people are lucky to get in, get out, and get anything from it
Thats so sad 😢❤
Complicated ...... to further ones knowledge a practical guide is necessary.......
🙏🏽
Watching is at 4:00 AM
*"Have a sense of humor" *Croud starts laughing**
Reminds of a song I wrote called “Oh Eve, please don’t blame me” - an explanation from God to Eve about why Adam is the way he is: in removing Adam’s rib to make Eve, some blood was lost. Adam still has enough for his mind and his manhood, but not enough to use both at the same time.
Boy, has she ever got it right!!!
Fred
I accept you..in some way
..its a fire..it should take
More time.we should satisfy our partner too....thank you very much
Really? wow ,ground breaking ,amazing! Wow.
She surely hasn't spent much time around animals. She starts off with so many misconceptions concerning distinctions between humanity and animals. She has a view. Mindfulness is a very good practice.
David Fricker
So spending time around animals is how you learn about animals? I never wanna learn about lions then, or T. rex
How many animals copulate just for pleasure?
Baf Lange. In fact, yes...
Why are you clinging to that detail. It is not even a significant Part of The talk.
