Has The Way of the Superior Man been on your reading list? Learn the key insights now. We're scratching the surface here. If you don't already have David Deida's popular book on self-help, psychology and relationships, order it here or get the audiobook for free to learn the juicy details. Introduction Do you feel you are failing to reach your full personal and professional potential? “The Way of the Superior Man” aims to guide you on how to navigate modern love, intimacy, spirituality, and work.  Despite what the title might suggest, this book is not only for men. Like the rest of Deida's works, The Way of the Superior Man aims to help people of all genders and sexual orientations live to their full potential. Deida defines a man as a “person with masculine energy” and a woman as a “person with feminine energy”. You don't need to be either a King Kong macho man or the modern-day, androgynous “Mr. Nice Guy” – as Deida puts it. Instead, you can become a better, more evolved man, or person with masculine energy. Accept your inner masculine and feminine energies, so you can take charge of your life and become a better person. Deida understands the evolution of gender as a three-stage process. Until fairly recently, modern roles for men and women were fixed and separated. Then came a stage in which men and women both sought to balance their inner masculine and feminine energies toward 50/50. This is the stage most of us are in or are working towards. In the third and final stage, Deida suggests we now aspire to embrace both masculine and feminine. But now we should not hold on to either of them. We should also accept the contrast and enjoy the compatibilities between masculine and feminine traits. “Now we are ready to move to the next stage, grounded in… mutual respect and equality, but celebrating the sexual and spiritual passions inherent in the masculine/feminine polarity.” – David Deida The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the "way" of the superior man. The first part discusses the importance of living a life of purpose and meaning. You learn tools and techniques for finding your true purpose in life. The second part focuses on relationships. It covers topics such as communication, intimacy, and navigating the balance of masculine and feminine energies in relationships. The final part discusses the importance of spiritual growth and offers guidance for developing a spiritual practice. About David Deida David Deida is a renowned spiritual teacher and bestselling author. He claims to have transformed the spiritual and sexual growth of men and women worldwide.

Daniel is an expert in relationships and dating and has combined his skills as an Author, Researcher, and Coach to help individuals achieve better experiences in these areas.

In his role as a Dating and Relationship coach, Daniel helps women tap into their inner radiance and men rediscover the joy of loving service. He is an advocate for the power of polarity in relationships. In this show, Daniel and Lian dived deep and geeked out on intimacy, polarity and relationships… referencing Deida's three stages of relationships, Daniel's own seeing and articulation of these stages, archetypes and much more! I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation…  please leave a comment below. What you'll learn from this episode: Deida's three stages are Dependance, 50/50 and Intimate Communion. Daniel was speaking about similar stages as Tyranny, Anarchy and Symbiotic. There's a real cost to the lack of embodiment of mature Masculine and Feminine archetypes - and therefore a lack of symbiotic relationships - but we're largely unaware of that because they're barely present in our culture as a possibility in contrast to the norm This lack is why looking deeper and broader to history across the world and directly to the divine archetypes can be so powerfully illuminating.

Themes: Liberation, Masculinity, Patriarchy, Karma, Relationships, Self-Awareness Summary: John Wineland is a renowned author, teacher and speaker who guides both men and women in the realms of life purpose, relational communication, sexual intimacy and embodiment. I've admired John's work for years, incorporating many of his teachings into my own journey. Join us for this episode where we explore a new vision of awakened masculinity — one rooted in conscious awareness, unflinching responsibility and true leadership. One that invites men to feel deeply, disavow numbness and turn away from ego-driven dogma that has harmed women, the planet, and men themselves. John's embodiment-driven teaching draws from not only over 30 years of experience of his own Buddhist meditative practice but from 13 years of intensive study and practice with renowned Yogic Intimacy teacher, David Deida. Drawing from Deida's revolutionary framework, as well as the deep lineages of Vajrayana, Tantra, Kundalini yoga, Taoist and Iron Shirt Qigong traditions, John seeks to create a profound experience for men and women longing to express their deepest desires with open, fierce and loving hearts. His new book, From The Core, shares a practical guide to redefine, heal and re-embrace masculinity in our world.

Is there anything better than having an old friend on your podcast? John is a brilliant and passionate mind in the realm of masculine wellness, and we cover a ton of ground here. What "integration" actually means, John's new book, why disconnect and fear can be so damaging, the temptation to just layer new knowledge on top of old patterns. This is a big one, so listen in. Known for his groundbreaking work with men, John travels world-wide teaching his vision of embodied men's work and deep relational practice.  In 2014, he founded The New Men's Work Project, which has attracted men from around the world looking to develop as leaders in their relationships and communities. The Project is committed to the staggering goal of creating 1000 men's groups worldwide in the next ten years and has already supported trainings and groups throughout Europe and the U.S.  John's clients include entrepreneurs, leading thinkers in the world of personal development and entertainment, Ted speakers and creative leaders in Hollywood. John brings a multi-faceted approach, which is both energetic and highly practical, to his workshops and experiential coaching sessions. John's embodiment-driven teaching draws from not only over 30 years experience of his own Buddhist meditative practice, but from 13 years intensive study and practice with renowned Yogic Intimacy teacher, David Deida.  Drawing from Deida's revolutionary framework, as well as the deep lineages of Vajrayana, Tantra, Kundalini yoga, Taoist and Iron Shirt Qigong traditions, John seeks to create a profound experience for men and women longing to express their deepest desires with open, fierce and loving hearts.  John's work has been featured on multiple podcast and publications; including Zen Habits, The Elephant Journal, Sex with Emily, Man Talks, The Good Men Project and Love TV.  John's first book, The Art of Masculine Leadership, will be available June 2022.  He will also be traveling throughout Europe and the U.S. leading workshops on embodied men's work, spiritual intimacy and sexual practice.

Unfortunately the vast majority of men don't have the support of other men.   In this episode, you'll learn… Examples of brotherhoods and their role in history. The consequence of going it alone.

It’s been 20 years since the launch of the "Music Genome Project," which most of us know as Pandora, the music streaming service. Our guest, Alberto "Berto" Santiago Deida, is the Creative Director at Studio Resonate/Pandora.

John Wineland is an LA-based men's group facilitator, speaker, and teacher who has been guiding both men and women — including yours truly — in the realms of life purpose, relational communication, sexual intimacy, and embodiment for the better part of a decade. His teachings are profound and powerful, but he seems to have the unique ability to deliver it with a light and humble heart. I don’t know if I’ve met another individual on this planet as warm and receptive as John. John's embodiment-driven teaching draws from not only over 30 years of experience with his own Buddhist meditative practice but also from 10 years of intensive study and practice with the renowned Yogic Intimacy teacher David Deida. Drawing from Deida's revolutionary framework — as well as the deep lineages of Vajrayana, Tantra, Kundalini yoga, Taoist, and Iron Shirt Qigong traditions — John seeks to create a profound experience for people longing to express their deepest desires with open, fierce, and loving hearts. This multi-faceted approach is both energetic and highly practical, which I can vouch for personally — John’s guidance helped me expand my capacity for communicating with, understanding, and feeling understood by members of the opposite sex (although I’m sure his work can be applied to all relationships, regardless of what they look like).  This episode is almost like a one-on-one coaching session, and a lot of the questions I ask him come from a very personal place. So, you’re going to get a very honest view of what my romantic journey has been like and what I’m looking for out of a relationship today. 08:20 — What’s the newest development in John’s constantly-evolving teachings? What does it mean to be healthy, sexually? The stages of health The most sacred form of sexual health   11:30 — Conscious sexuality Why are people so interested in podcasts about sex? How most of us first learn about sex: kids at school and movies (or pornography) Having casual sex — yay or nay? When should sex enter the equation in a new relationship? How we can create negative karma with unconscious sex Conversations that we should be having in all of our intimate relationships, serious or casual   21:30 — Why men need to cultivate the feminine more deeply Moving beyond the desire for casual sex Any spiritual practice will make you more open and receptive, which will activate the feminine part of you that wants love, wants connection You can’t own your masculine if you’re rejecting your feminine   28:10 — Conscious ways to end a relationship Do men and women have different preferences? A recipe for the ideal way to end a relationship Toxic Masculinity Vs. Toxic Femininity There’s nothing wrong with feeling any emotion — it’s how they’re contained that can become an issue What should be priority #1 for men   36:12 — Learning masculine energy individuals can learn to have an awareness of their feminine It only takes three or four sentences (and a lot of courage) to communicate what’s in the depth of your heart... ...and you shouldn’t just accept it if someone shames you for that Good feedback Vs. Bad feedback in a relationship What we can learn about relationships from movies What can and should men bring to a modern, powerful woman? Integrating physical practices to build a deeper level of awareness and perception   55:57 — A huge challenge for every person today: revealing the truth of your heart (in a way that it can be accepted and honored) The art of revealing the truth of your heart as a gift It requires yogic practice and nervous system training to master this art Do you have a Masculine Core or a Feminine Core — relationally, sexually, and spiritually? When you might have to step into the masculine or feminine, even if it’s not natural for you, to support your partner How do you know if you’re in a relationship that’s wrong for you or if you need to do more inner work?   01:09:33 — Relating John’s teachings to my recent ayahuasca experience You have to be able to hold your own feminine before you can hold someone else’s in a relationship Knowing when it’s enough   01:16:17 — What tools can someone use who embodies masculine energy at work but wants to embody feminine energy in their relationships? How do you balance that? Developing a pleasure practice Practicing the art of surrender How to cultivate sensitivity A transformative eye-gazing practice that John teaches and Luke loves   More about this episode.

#055: Seduction, Porn, Deida, Consent & More w/ Guest Michael Ellsberg   Among many other topics, Michael Ellsberg and I explore: --> The problems with the pickup movement, which was (unfortunately) the place a lot of men went for "guidance" on how to relate to women. --> The ups and downs of the "conscious sexuality" movement, which has also been a place many men have sought guidance--though is starting to feel dated to a lot of people.   --> How David Deida's "The Way of the Superior Man" (published 20 years ago) influenced the (mostly white) American personal development culture, and why it's time to move beyond it.   --> How ingrained homophobia in our society limits men's range of expressiveness, and how to move beyond these limitations towards a fuller and richer life, even for those of us who are straight.   --> Why it's crucial that even "masculine" men embrace and explore our own inner feminine sides. (And what do these terms even mean anymore?)   --> Why any man identifies as masculine must come to his own definition of this term, rather than following pre-conceived scripts--and how to find our own natural definition and ideal.   --> How to navigate the perilous balancing act between many women's desire for a man to lead the romantic interactions between them and be the "pursuer," versus men's newly increased sensitivity towards not overstepping boundaries or being imposing. (This is so important and SO many guys are tripped up about this now.)   --> The why and how of allowing erotic interactions with women to evolve organically, while still feeling empowered to express our desires and intentions clearly.   --> This is a juicy one: Michael and I debate on the merits of "affirmative consent."   --> The two types of responses men have had to #MeToo--one really constructive, one really destructive. (And how to embrace the former.)   --> And Michael Ellsberg's favorite topic--p*rn. Michael is someone who creates Indy p*rn, whereas in my practice, I have seen many of the compulsive and negative ways men can relate to porn--so we hash out our differences here in this lively segment.     Michael Ellsberg is the co-author of "The Last Safe Investment: Spending Now to Increase Your True Wealth Forever" (Penguin, 2016), and the author of "The Education of Millionaires: Everything You Won't Learn in College about How to Be Successful" (Penguin, 2011), and "The Power of Eye Contact: Your Secret for Success in Business, Love and Life" (HarperCollins, 2010). His writing has been published on Forbes.com, Time.com, and the blog of Tim Ferriss, and in the New York Times.   You can find Michael Ellsberg on: Michael Ellsberg: http://ellsberg.com Facebook: http://fb.com/ellsberg LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelellsberg/ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ellsbergmichael Twitter: https://twitter.com/michaelellsberg —

Join us tonight at 9pm EST/6pm PST for a conversation with Celebrity Mua and now Arthur, Deida Massey.  Deida joins us to talk about her new book, "Face Values: The Foundation of Beauty". 

Having healthy polarity is an important component of maintaining a spark with your partner. Have you wondered, though, about what that really means? Does that mean that one of us has to be “masculine”, and the other has to be “feminine” in order for this whole thing to work? How do you turn polarity into something that doesn’t become just a descent into stereotypes, but into a dynamic energy that lives and breathes in your relationship? And how do you take it to the next level, tuning into higher states of energy with your partner?  Today’s guest is Michaela Boehm, an experienced counselor and tantric lineage holder who specializes in teaching skills that enhance deep intimacy and lasting attraction, and who co-taught for a number of years with David Deida to make the concepts that he teaches in books like “Way of the Superior Man” and “The Enlightened Sex Manual” practical. And in today’s episode, we’re going to do just that. We’ll update your idea of what “polarity” even means - and give you some practical tools to open yourself up to what’s possible in terms of your energetic connection with your partner. Michaela is also going to point out some of the places where people stumble or get stuck - so that you don’t have to make the same mistakes on your journey. In this episode, Michaela Boehm and I cover the following: Within each human being there are two forces: The terms ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ are placeholder terms that describe two different types of energies that are found in each one of us. Over the years these terms have been misconstrued by popular culture- losing their original purpose and meaning. People have conflated ‘masculine’ with man, and ‘feminine’ with woman, causing further polarization, stereotyping, and kindling more gender wars. Misunderstanding these terms boxes and pigeon holes people, and can even become another form of oppression. In an effort to move away from these constructs, it is helpful to take a look at the two underlying principles that represent the masculine and feminine energies: the organizing principle, and the pleasure principle. The organizing principle:  Everyone has an organizing principle, which is the masculine energy, that gives clarity and helps make things happen. It has a long term view and works on a time/space grid to essentially create forward movement. It has a tendency towards emptying out. It is filled with consciousness and has a depth of penetration and clarity that gets things done! The pleasure principle: The pleasure principle is the feminine energy in us- the wild chaotic swirl of nature as it is expressed in each person’s body, environment and life. This is the enjoyment of multitude. Of flavors and textures and fullness. You need both within yourself. The organizing principle without the chaotic swirl life force is just static and stuck. The chaotic and creative flow of nature without direction is a disaster. The strength of one principle is enhanced by the other, and disastrous on its own. Imagine being all in the masculine.. you might be so rigid you no longer know about how to flow with life, now imagine you are all in the feminine... your life might become so chaotic that you cannot seem to move forward. Therefore, it is important to find both inside of yourself. Finding your ‘home’ energy: While we each have aspects of the masculine and feminine inside of us, we each have a ‘home’ energy or a ‘home’ preference which is the place where we feel most naturally relaxed and fulfilled. When you are left to your own devices, you will naturally lean towards one principle or the other. Here are some good questions to ask yourself when reflecting on what principle is most native to you: Do you enjoy engaging in the fullness of life (children, dinners, animals, friends, clothing, social events, house decorating, doing things, etc? Are you your happiest and is your body the most relaxed when you are fully engaged in activities? Do you thrive on the engagement and exchange of love? Do you talk a lot? Yes to these questions points towards how the pleasure principle- the pleasure of being alive in one’s body- is showing up in your life. On the other hand, do you like clear structure, making things happen, and enjoy adhering to a schedule and a plan? And if you had a month to plan however and whatever you wanted how would you use the time? Would you hope to meditate? To sit in a desert and contemplate vastness? Would you want your mind and body to experience silence and clarity? Do you recuperate through being still? These tendencies speak to the masculine and organizing principle in each of us. NOTE: Both men and women are experiencing increased levels of the organizing principle as our society is much more geared and rewarding of the masculine. Finding a mix of these two dynamic qualities allows you to be more effective, expressive and fulfilled in life, plus it is has a huge impact on your sexual life! Polarity increases sexual play/Friction is sexy- In our sexual lives, the erotic friction- meaning the tension between the two poles- is what makes for chemistry and that spark we all want in our relationships, regardless if we are gay, straight, or bi. You can learn to go back and forth between the energies, helping to balance and add healthy tension to your sex life (the hunt and being hunted, the penetrator and the surrenderer, etc). Learning to animate and distinguish these two aspects of yourself will make these energies available for you to better play with another human being! In most relationships you learn to polarize sexually- fluidly moving from one who is doing to one who is being. By developing facility in all areas of the spectrum you have more options in ways to creatively balance each other! Beauty comes when you can identify a ‘home’ place in which you are naturally joyous while having fluidity and faculty to call upon and bring forth the strengths of each allowing for fuller range of expression, and therefore, more sexual possibility. Increasing your capacity to experience energy throughout your entire body - it is not about trying to get something right! Your sexual life can be enhanced and transformed by learning to work with your energy. Before diving into how to achieve this, here are a few thoughts on potential pitfalls and considerations in regards to energy control and manipulation: -There are many schools of thought, and thousands of techniques for achieving non-ejaculatory sex and getting away from orgasm addiction. Often this can come from rigid control of the breath. This may have bad consequences physiologically and psychologically. When people get too focused on their breath they tense their bodies and pelvic floor, which in most people are already plenty tense! It is actually rather counterproductive for many people to impose more structure and tension (in breath and pelvic floor). For those of us who do not have a lot of time to dedicate to mastering tantric techniques, it is more generative to focus on learning to relax and be in gentle attunement with one’s natural physical tendencies. -According to Michaela and ancient Taoist traditions, there are times when ejaculation is what is needed! Strong rigid measures of control on a man’s natural process can have many other side effects that may negate the fact that he can now last longer. Take it with a grain of salt! -Bypassing ejaculation can have great impact on achieving full body pleasure orgasms, however beware that the focus on controlling ejaculation doesn’t become another form of larger control that becomes a source of shame, or another way to brutalize oneself. Last thing most couples need is more places of disappointment! Not ejaculating is not that hard to achieve, but it does not necessarily mean you have satisfaction or pleasure in the body or are more emotionally free. Furthermore, “Don’t cum!” can become as much a fixation or obsession as anything else which would lead further away from intimacy. - For many thousands of years putting control on a human’s sexual urges was one of the main ways of gaining control in society. “Don’t have sex, it is a sin” isn’t much different than “don’t ejaculate it is a spiritual sin”. Be careful with dogmas! These concepts can be very dicey in the wrong hands. -It isn’t the ejaculate control that is important- it is the ability direct, expand, and circulate energy around your body and learning to lead your arousal peaks, rather than have them lead you. There are many ways to learn to direct energy for increased sexual pleasure.    What is the optimal way that your body can be in a relaxed state so that you can combine yourself with another human, spiritually, sexually, emotionally, physically in the optimal way? Delocalize pleasure: Delocalizing pleasure, meaning moving energy from one’s genitals and expanding it throughout the body, is a wonderful way to increase a sense of pleasure throughout the entire body. There are many ways to do this without having to practice circular breathing or other techniques for 30-50 minute a day! Try touching other parts of your body while you are sexually engaged. Relax the base of your body. Try to feel your extremities while you are in the middle of sexual intercourse. Loosen your shoulders and head to release tension. Loosen all tight areas. Create movement through touch and massage. Don’t make a big TO DO, just relax, breath, move, touch! When you are in the midst of sexual pleasure allow the energy to move through- actually relax, let yourself feel, and allow yourself to receive. Try this one on: actual intimacy is about actually feeling what is happening. You can delocalize pleasure not only in your body, but in your life!  We are all continually somewhere on the sexual continuum. And sexuality is a constantly flowing energy- it is a matter of one’s capacity to tune in. Sex doesn’t just have to happen in bed (or on the kitchen table!) but can be simply happening when you are making a meal together, walking, or being side by side. This realization, especially when shared with your partner, can create increased sense of pleasure throughout your relationship, and life. A few practices to help you increase your openness and attunement with your own feminine and masculine energies: In order to get in touch with your pleasure principle try movement! Movement is one of the most beneficial things we humans can do for ourselves. Try shaking it out at least once a day! Pick a song and dance, shake, or move your body in a spontaneous way. Feel how your body wants to move, and let it! Do this while brushing your teeth! Between meetings! First thing in the morning. Exercise is wonderful too, however it is linear and forces habitual patterns. Surprise yourself. As for getting in touch with the organizing principle, find 5 minutes a day to sit and do nothing at all, not even a meditation practice. Just sit and allow whatever comes up to come up, and be with it. These two simple daily practices offer the opportunity to experience both ends of the spectrum: the pleasuring fullness, and the organizing emptiness. Feel the pleasure of being alive! And the fullness of being in this moment!
