Diana Richardson – författare

While fast, hot, orgasm-driven sex can bring momentary satisfaction, in the long run it can become boring and mechanical, causing many couples to lose interest and stop making time for physical intimacy. The first step to revive a waning sex life or make a healthy one more fulfilling, says author Diana Richardson, is to make sex a conscious decision rather than an accidental encounter. Focusing on eye contact, subtle sensations, and deep breathing, Diana’s practice of slow sex awakens the body’s innate mechanism for ecstasy, unlocking the door to extraordinary realms of sensitivity, sensuality, and higher consciousness. Exploring the healing, spiritual power of slow sex, this book offers a step-by-step guide for committed couples to transform sex into a meditative, loving union of complementary energies. It explains how slow sex increases sensitivity and sexual vitality and how, because it creates and restores love, slow sex is loving sex. With a focus on coolness rather than heat, this practice provides couples a way to reach a shared meditative state and use it as a vehicle to achieve higher consciousness. Illustrating different positions for eye contact, deep sustained penetration, and soft penetration, this book reveals that sex truly can be sustainable and enjoyable well into old age.

Fulfilling sex nourishes love, rejuvenates the body, and boosts mental health. Unfortunately, prevailing attitudes in the West work against the natural capacity of women to realize their sexual potential and experience deep orgasmic states. Tantric Orgasm for Womenoffers women a fresh look at the ecstatic bliss possible within their bodies, using knowledge and approaches from the sensually cultivated traditions of the East. Exploring Tantra from the female perspective, Diana Richardson reveals the critical role receptive feminine energy plays in allowing orgasmic states to arise. Her 20 years of tantric research and personal experience provide readers with an understanding of how the various parts of the female body may be activated to deepen ecstatic states. Readers will learn how to re-circulate orgasmic energy; why breast stimulation takes priority over vaginal attention; the difference between soft penetration and deep sustained penetration, including how to avoid premature male ejaculation; and how women can strengthen the erection response of male partners. Tantric Orgasm for Womenshows how women can exert a powerful influence on their sexual experiences when they understand the inner workings of their bodies and when they avoid adopting conventional ideas about what should be satisfying to them.

After many years of exploration, Diana Richardson found that the ancient practice of Tantra, with its unique, intelligent approach to sex, had the effect of enhancing intimacy and deepening love. Here she has adapted Tantra for modern Western lovers in a practical, sympathetic way. Tantric Sex can transform your experience into a more sensual, loving and fulfilling one. First published in 2003, the bestselling Heart of Tantric Sex has become the standard in its field.

A revolutionary approach to male sexuality offers the keys to achieving sexual fulfillment • Teaches how to retain semen for increased vitality and longer lovemaking • Explains the relationship-strengthening benefits of deep, sustained penetration • Includes foreplay approaches and position sequences Fulfilling sex nourishes love, increases vitality, and boosts mental health. Unfortunately, prevailing attitudes about male sexuality and what is good sex work against these innate features by focusing on the excitement of ejaculation as the one and only goal. Using the tantric guidelines they have practiced for more than 25 years, Diana and Michael Richardson show men how to move beyond their preconceptions of sex as a goal-oriented--and often unintentionally stressful--event so they can relax into sex as a meditative union of complementary energies. They explain how retaining semen allows for increased vitality and extended lovemaking sessions and show the relationship-strengthening benefits of deep, sustained penetration. They also explain how to perform soft penetration and how to avoid premature ejaculation. Tantric Sex for Men includes tried-and-true foreplay approaches, diagrams of sexual position sequences, ways to increase sexual sensitivity through awareness, and how to have ecstatic experiences through reaching a woman’s body on a sexually deeper level. The authors also demonstrate how the sexual organs can be used to heal both men and women physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

A tantric guide to discovering the hidden gifts of menopause • Explains why Tantra works for menopausal women and how their bodies are naturally entering a more tantric phase focused on creative, spiritual energy • Details tantric practices and tools to connect with the body’s inner intuitive wisdom, remove the “performance pressure” of conventional sex, and set the stage for passion and pleasure to thrive both in the bedroom and beyond • Explores what to expect physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and in relationships As women, we live so closely to the body--through menstruation, pregnancy, birthing, motherhood, and then menopause. Each of these transitions changes a woman in a multitude of ways, most of which are celebrated. Yet menopause often causes women to feel despondent, as if our bodies are broken or deficient, especially when it comes to sex and intimacy. However, as tantric teachers Diana Richardson and Janet McGeever show, menopause has many hidden gifts to offer if we learn to embrace rather than suppress the changes this natural transition brings. Shining the light of tantric intelligence on menopause, the authors reveal how to explore and experience menopause in a radically positive fashion, suffused with a sense of vital awakening and “re-wilding” of a woman’s sexuality, creativity, and spirituality. Explaining what to expect physically, emotionally, and spiritually, as well as what it means for relationships, they detail tantric practices and tools to connect with the body’s inner intuitive wisdom and heart energies, remove the “performance pressure” of conventional sex, and set the stage for passion and pleasure to thrive both in the bedroom and beyond. They explain why Tantra works for menopausal women and how their bodies are naturally entering a more tantric phase focused on creative, spiritual energy. They explore how, in Tantra, sex is practiced not for the sake of sex itself but as an instrument for going “beyond” sex, for better health, improved relationships, enhanced self-control and emotional balance, and even higher states of consciousness. They also offer many self-help practices, exercises, and meditations to reinforce a positive attitude toward menopause and overcome many of the physical and sexual problems, such as pain, dryness, loss of interest, and loss of libido. Providing a guide for women who are approaching, experiencing, or have gone through menopause, the authors show how a more informed, tantric approach to menopause allows each woman to deepen her trust in the perfect functioning of the female body, embrace her natural sexual response, and reconnect with her inner self.

What happens when suddenly the wind changes and the loving connection between two partners is disrupted for hours or even days? Why is love associated with ups and downs? The answer is simple although not obvious - usually a wave of emotion which has roots in the past floods the atmosphere. The authors show in easy-to-follow steps how to recognise emotions, to leave them behind, and to create space for the expression of real feelings where love has a chance.

"Die Leute sind viel zu erregt, um wirklich guten Sex zu haben."Diana Richardson im Brigitte woman-InterviewDie Reise in ein neues Verständnis von Sex beginnt, wenn wir zu unseren innewohnenden männlichen und weiblichen Polaritäten Kontakt aufnehmen und sie wiedererwecken, sagt Diana Richardson. Wenn wir unsere Polarität annehmen, entwickelt sich eine Anziehungskraft zwischen Mann und Frau, eine organische magnetische Intelligenz zwischen Penis und Vagina, die mit der Zeit stärker wird. Das Ergebnis davon ist, dass wir uns immer weniger anstrengen müssen um Liebe zu ''machen'' - der Körper tut es von selbst. So bekommen wir die Chance, zu unserer wahren Natur als Mann und Frau zurück und die spirituelle Sprache der Liebe zu lernen durch den körperlichen Akt des Liebemachens. Der erst Schritt dazu ist, sich Zeit zu nehmen beim Liebemachen. "Sex in seiner höchsten Form trägt etwas Göttliches in sich. Er bringt uns dazu, wirklich "hier" zu sein und die Göttlichkeit dieses Augenblicks zu spüren, in dem wir uns glücklich und wohlfühlen. Es ist eine orgiastische biologische Ekstase, die aus dem dynamischen Zusammenspiel der polaren Gegensätze von Mann und Frau entsteht, und die unsere Seele nährt."

Im normalen Sprachgebrauch werden Emotionen und Gefühle als austauschbar behandelt, so als würde "Emotion" dasselbe bedeuten wie "Gefühl". Tatsächlich sind es diametral entgegen gesetzte Erfahrungen. Wenn wir unsere emotionale Seite kennen und uns ein konstruktiver Weg zur Verfügung steht, um mit ihr umzugehen – wie er in diesem Buch vorgestellt wird, dann fangen wir an, Lebensformen zu erschaffen, in denen die Unterströmung der Liebe stets gegenwärtig ist.Diana und Michael Richardson zeigen einen bahnbrechend einfachen, für jeden gangbaren Weg, wie man Emotionen hinter sich lässt, Raum für Gefühle schafft und damit der Liebe eine echte Chance gibt.

ALLE FRAUEN sind mit der Fähigkeit geboren, die Ekstase des Orgasmus zu erleben. Allerdings ist für die meisten Frauen der Orgasmus eine ziemlich unberechenbare Angelegenheit. Dies beruht zum großen Teil auf mangelnder Kenntnis des weiblichen Körpers und des Wesens weiblicher Energie. Wenn die Frau bei der sexuellen Vereinigung ganz in ihre weibliche Seite hineingeht, sind sexuelle Erfüllung und Liebe die natürliche Folge. Der Weg dahin geht über Entspannung – einer ureigenen weiblichen Qualität.

Wie man die Liebe jung und frisch erhält, ist heutzutage eine wahre Herausforderung für Liebende. Auch wenn ein Paar sich liebt, stirbt früher oder später die sexuelle Anziehung und sie hören auf, ihre Liebe körperlich zum Ausdruck zu bringen. In Zeit für Männlichkeit wird erforscht, warum Ejakulation und Orgasmus nicht dasselbe sind, wie man vorzeitige Ejakulation, Erektionsprobleme oder Impotenz überwindet. Und schließlich, wie man den Liebesakt über längere Zeiträume ausdehnen und wirkliche Ekstase erleben kann.

Trotz einer Vielzahl von Büchern zum Thema "Wechseljahre" wird in der westlichen Gesellschaft relativ wenig über die Auswirkungen gesprochen, die sie auf das Sexleben der Frau haben, das auch die spirituelle Seite der Sexualität miteinschließt.Das führt dazu, dass sich Frauen in spiritueller und sexueller Hinsicht unsicher fühlen, wenn sie mit den Wechseljahren unbekanntes Terrain betreten.

Der Körper und die Psyche machen jetzt nicht mehr so weiter wie bisher – ganz besonders beim Sex.Dieses Buches ist ein Reisebegleiter, der einerseits die Fakten und die Probleme der Wechseljahre thematisiert, aber auch ein neues sexuelles Selbstverständnis aufzeigt. Und Slow Sex ist der Weg dahin.- Warum die Praxis des Slow Sex für Frauen in den Wechseljahren zu einem spirituell-sexuellen Neubeginn werden kann.- Praktische Übungen, mit deren Hilfe du dich mit der inneren Weisheit des Körpers verbindest, und so die Voraussetzung für mehr Tiefe im Sex schaffst.
