Sacred Sexuality
A Manual for Living Bliss
Sacred Sexuality is a unique book in that it offers insights into how to live ecstatically by awakening your sensual self and sharing this presence with others, moment-by-moment. This book does not promote one particular style of sexuality over another. Instead, it is a synthesis of many of the ancient arts combined with modern principles of sex and sexual healing. Therefore, you will discover that this book is exciting and enticing, as well as powerful and healing.
While most books on the subject of sacred sexuality emphasize the need for men and women to love and respect their bodies, this book maintains that although you must love your body, you are not your body and, therefore, should not make it your primary focus. You are a soul, temporarily using your body as a vehicle of expression on your life’s journey. Hence, sacred sexuality is merely a tool for you to re-discover your soul (and the souls of others) by manifesting love through your body. Some spiritual teachings insist that you must set aside your body to find your soul. This book, on the other hand, shares the philosophy of A Course in Miracles, which suggests that before you can experience universal love, you must first remove the obstacles and judgments keeping it veiled. In other words, before you can feel your universal body, you must first love every particle of your physical body. Then, after lovingly reclaiming your total body and receiving the gift of love from the universe, you will discover that a whole new life awaits you.

A Unique Book That Blends the Sensual and Spiritual
Sacred Sexuality: A Manual for Living Bliss:
This book truly is unique. Like no other book I’ve ever read, it is a marriage of body and spirit. Not merely a sex manual, the physical, sensual, spiritual, and mystical are gracefully and tastefully interwoven throughout the pages of this explicit… and beautifully illustrated manual of instructions for the blending of sexuality with spirituality. Additionally, this book is an interesting, informative, and sensitive blending of sexual physiology, energy systems, psychology, and the sacred art of Tantra. It’s many clearly-explained exercises focus not only on increasing sexual pleasure but also on promoting overall health and well-being. Read more “A Unique Book That Blends the Sensual and Spiritual”
Fantastic book!
I loved this book. From someone brought up with a great deal of repression on the subject, this book and its exercises gave me a whole new outlook on the tremendously healthy act of sexual expression! Thank you Michael Mirdad for your great gift of teaching. Your perceptions continue to… open my life, heart and life. Read more “Fantastic book!”

Accessible and sexy!
This is one of the best books that integrates spirituality and sexuality that I have read. I’m a fan of David Deida’s work as well.
Easy read and in Depth Presentation of Tantric & Taoist Wisdom Based Sexuality
This book is a must and belongs on every bookshelf (not only tantric) of any family in the English speaking world and hopefully will be translated in many other languages soon. I found it very easy to read, quite enlightening as it combines the physical aspects of sexuality with the… spiritual dimension of our being. This manual is not only for the sexual active but also for the celibate, for the singles and the committed in partnership, for the experienced and the novices, for the young and the more matured, for the heterosexuals and the homosexuals, for the ones having suffered sexual trauma and for the lucky ones who haven’t…
This book covers the history of sacred sexuality, self awareness and knowledge, techniques for creating a blissful intimacy with the other, for intercourse and for “postplay” or closure.
Dr. Michael Mirdad has masterfully compiled a well balanced, clearly explained, insightful, profound manual to heartful, soulful and all encompassing sexual experiences. I recommend it all heartedly to every reader. I will order many more copies as a gift to my dearest friends and family members. This is my first review for any book and I have a large collection on my shelves; this is how enthralled I am about Michael Mirdad’s teachings on this very touchy subject that concerns us all.
You can’t pass this opportunity to easily incorporate bliss into your life, order your copy ASAP!!! Read more “Easy read and in Depth Presentation of Tantric & Taoist Wisdom Based Sexuality”

Discover a whole new life
I am echoing all of the positive reviews posted already. Sacredness in sexuality was certainly a new concept for me, but Michael Mirdad–who is an excellent teacher–describes well how to awaken this “path of living bliss.” He handles a sensitive subject with beauty and grace. If you are looking to… take intimacy to a new level, you simply must read this book. Read more “Discover a whole new life”
sacred sexuality
This book is fantastic. It will show you how your own body is a temple, it will show you how to connect your soul and the entire Universe with you, the complete you, the physical, the emotional, the spiritual and more. You will feel the real Love that is in… all of us but too often completely closed or barely touched. Michael Mirdad brings you at other dimensions of your being that you never thought were there and he does it with much sincerity, intelligence and beauty.
A MUST for ALL human beings. Read more “sacred sexuality”

Great reference!
I first read this book in preparation for a seminar I was about to take. It raised my eyebrows more than once! Never had I seen a book that explained so much, in so natural a manner! There was so much information, it was overload… I confess, initially I didn’t… understand the Sacredness in sexuality (I’m still integrating!), but the journey is amazing. And when achieved, more soul-shattering than anything I’ve ever experienced. Whatever gets you started on the path of self-knowledge and self-discovery is a blessing in my eyes! Read more “Great reference!”
Great For Starters
Not as advanced as I had hoped, as well as very male thought process in approach…but it was written by a male. Sort of hoping that this is just an intro to scared sexuality and further books will be much more indepth. Lots of anatomy, prerequisite and intro in this… book so it would be great as a starter. A fantastic book for beginners. It has just enough exercises and hands on to get you started, keep you interested and wanting to learn more. Have fun…lots of fun. Read more “Great For Starters”

Sacred Sexuality
Sacred Sexuality was very informative in a non-threatening way. I have spent many years not paying attention to my sexuality. It has caused me not only to miss out on a part of my life, but to create imbalance in it. Following some of the simple suggestions gave me an… immediate improvement my outlook on life and the role sexuality plays in it. Read more “Sacred Sexuality”
Sacred Awareness
In “Sacred Sexuality: A Manual for Living Bliss”, Michael Mirdad has put forth a true teaching of the experience of sacred sexual union. With respect, dignity and diversity, in a manner that is instructive and informative, he leads us to a conscious sexual awakening. He does this not from a… merely sexual perspective, but from the truth of our divinity as beings capable of living bliss within the Christ consciousness. Of particular importance is Michael’s gentle ability to encourage us to heal our sexual wounds and traumas through the love of conscious partnership. All throughout the book, he stresses the importance of honor, respect and safety, with the ultimate responsibility residing in our own healthy discernment as we seek sacred partners. With this book available, no longer do our teenagers need to approach sexuality in fear, trepidation or hesitation, for here is written a gift of helpful, loving guidance. I highly recommend this book to all who seek conscious union. Read more “Sacred Awareness”
Sacred Sexuality
This book is a must read for anyone beginning their search into something a little deeper. It is a great beginner book for someone who is possibly more timid in anything with elaborate rituals. The exercises are simple and mindful.
Sacred Delight
Like a beautiful box of magical assorted chocolates that turn out to be sumptuous AND perfectly healthful and nutritious, Sacred Sexuality: A Manual for Living Bliss is an absolute delight! The material is diverse and tantalizing, chock full of high quality ingredients, and when you partake you end up nourished… and full. Savor this book slowly, morsel by morsel, and don’t be afraid to try something new! Dr. Michael Mirdad has synthesized spiritual insight and practice with ancient sexual wisdom. If you are wondering if there is more to sex than a lustful quid pro quo or groping your partner furtively in the dark, if you have been wounded sexually through abuse, addiction or ignorance, if you have been seeking a way to integrate your spirituality and sexuality, or if you desire to steer your sexual life to the high road, you must read this book. The banquet is set with an excellent discussion of what sacred sexuality is, how it relates to healing and an historical overview. Dr. Mirdad’s treatment of responsibility in sexual encounters should place this book in sex education classrooms around the country. All the more reason to have a copy in your home. This book is loaded with yummy surprises, such as the discussion of kissing and mouthplay in Chapter 12. Have you ever thought of a woman’s upper lip as a meridian linked directly to her clitoris? Or a man’s lower lip as linked directly to his penis? Dr. Mirdad makes sure we are aware of such esoteric, albeit useful, knowledge. The exercises and techniques throughout the book are numerous, feasible, explicit and tasteful. Many can be practiced by the individual, so the manual is relevant whether or not you currently have a partner. And what is more sweet and loving than preparing yourself to be a sensitive lover?
