How to Have Conscious Sex; Exploring Tantra and Intimacy with Diana Richardson

Diana Richardson on Tantra, Conscious Intimacy & the Healing Power of Slow Sex

What if sex could be more than physical - what if it could be a pathway to presence, healing, and spiritual growth?

In this deeply insightful episode, we speak with Diana Richardson, author of The Heart of Tantric Sex and pioneer of the Slow Sex movement, who has been guiding couples in the art of conscious intimacy for over four decades. A disciple of Osho since 1979, Diana’s exploration into meditation, embodiment, and subtle energy led her to become one of the most respected teachers of modern Tantra.

Diana shares the core principles of conscious sex, including the power of non-doing, awareness, and emotional receptivity. She explains how tantric sex supports energetic expansion and deep connection - moving away from goal-oriented sexuality and toward a slower, more fulfilling intimacy that awakens the whole being.

We explore:

• The foundations of slow sex and presence-based intimacy
• Releasing sexual conditioning and performance pressure
• The roles of breath, awareness, and energetic polarity
• Why erection and orgasm aren’t required for connection
• How tantric sex fosters healing and self-realization
• The body’s magnetic circuits and the concept of subtle flow
• Inclusivity across gender and sexual orientation
• Sex as a path to wholeness, joy, and spiritual discovery

Drawing on her experience as co-leader of the renowned Making Love retreats with her partner Michael Richardson, Diana offers grounded, joyful guidance for anyone seeking to deepen their connection - to themselves and to each other.
