The Three Stages of Intimacy
Finding Freedom and Fullness through Sexual Union

How can love come through each one of us more fully? How can we give our deepest gifts in relationship? David Deida discusses how the expression of our sexuality can evolve through three stages. The third stage begins when you become disillusioned with trying to get what you want (stage one) and equally disillusioned with trying to give others what they want (stage two). In this provocative Sounds True Pearl, he explains why "it is only when you offer yourself to be lived by something larger than you are you happy."

Sounds True Pearls bring you inspirational and insightful downloadable audio sessions selected from our most popular courses. Ranging between 15–40 minutes each, Sounds True Pearls offer a concise way to explore topics from meditation and spiritual practice to mind-body healing, the art of manifestation, and more.
