    • "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.

      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.

Deidas Synthese von taoistischen Energietechniken und psychologischen Erkenntnissen eröffnet Partnerschaften sowohl physisch wie energetisch neue Dimensionen.
