Intimate Communion
Awakening Your Sexual Essence
Awakening Your Sexual Essence
David Deida’s first book lays the foundation for his teaching on the integration of intimacy and authentic spiritual practice.
Discover: the sexual and spiritual differences between the masculine and feminine; how to untangle love, romance, and sexual polarity; the importance of the three stages of intimacy; how men and women can grow beyond using emotional and sexual substitutes (such as places, careers, and pets); and how to embrace the taboos of ecstatic release and blissful surrender.
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.

Intimate Communion
Awakening Your Sexual Essence
David Deida’s first book lays the foundation for his teaching on the integration of intimacy and authentic spiritual practice.
Discover: the sexual and spiritual differences between the masculine and feminine; how to untangle love, romance, and sexual polarity; the importance of the three stages of intimacy; how men and women can grow beyond using emotional and sexual substitutes (such as places, careers, and pets); and how to embrace the taboos of ecstatic release and blissful surrender.
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.
