What happens when suddenly the wind changes and the loving connection between two partners is disrupted for hours or even days? Why is love associated with ups and downs? The answer is simple although not obvious - usually a wave of emotion which has roots in the past floods the atmosphere. The authors show in easy to follow steps how to recognise emotions, to leave them behind, and to create space for the expression of real feelings where love has a chance.

Rating 5*. I came across this book accidentally when going through a rough period in my personal relationship. I read the book straight away and was amazed by the easiness with which the subject was presented and how effective it was. The difference between feelings and emotions is huge and essential in understanding when one finds him/herself in the emotional turmoil. Tantric Love Feeling vs Emotion is definitely the most outstanding book I have read on self development in the past years. I believe that every person who is engaged in self development, should read this book at least once and have it in their personal library. ~ Natalie Holgersen, Amazon UK
Amazing ideas, supremely helpful for your skill in relationships and overall emotional intelligence. Even if you don’t think your partner would be ‘on board’ with the ideas, you can still demonstrate them and with patience, your partner will learn what you are doing and come to respect the process. Beautiful Book. I understand my own behaviour better now. ~ Benjamin J Hirons, Amazon UK
Rating 5*. Interesting read. Differentiating between emotions and feelings is something new. Am growing from this. ~ Heloise Kirby, Amazon UK
This book is excellent, teaching me to differentiate between my old baggage and assumptions and genuine feelings which are pure and not affected by past assumptions. It is beautifully written and very easy to digest. I highly recommend it as a tool to developing emotional intelligence. ~ Paul Jayson, Amazon UK
Rating 5*. I've been a huge fan of Diana's work for years so you can imagine my excitement when I came across this latest addition to her formidable stable of Tantric sex handbooks. For me, no one writes as coherently or as authentically on the subject of conscious lovemaking and intimacy as Diana and her partner MIchael and this compact book is no exception. Unlike many writers on Tantra I've come across in my years of exploration, they really 'walk their talk' and this latest offering is also peppered with real life scenarios and contributions by participants of their world renowned workshops. For me that lends additional credibility to the effectiveness of the ideas they advocate. The contributions are less like testimonials than genuine testaments to the work's effectiveness. This small guide seems to fill in the gaps about what to do when emotion rears its ugly head in our intimate relationships... which it frequently does until one has cleaned out hurts and wounds from the past, so I've already recommended this book to clients who simply want to improve their communication skills, (although this book was obviously primarily written with couples and intimate partners in mind). Furthermore it describes perfectly the subtle differences between emotionality, over reaction and true feeling. It's a great support and supplement to the other books Diana and Michael have already written. A not to be missed addition to anyone's library who is truly interested in a fulfilling relationship and conscious lovemaking as a doorway to heartfelt intimacy. ~ Sandhan, Amazon UK
Rating 5*. Sometimes it's hard to define what you want even though you know !... When younger we tend to fall "in lust" and generally make our choices emotionally.. For some of us, particularly as we age and become wiser with our worldly experiences we define more what give us pleasure feelings come and go however true deep emotion combined with a whole of body experiences truly defines Tantric Love far beyond the usual sexual connection that comes with "normal' expectations and habits most of us have had since our youth... Shame some of us have had to wait until later years to discover this... Definitely worth a read ~ Debbie Hume, Amazon
Rating 4*. This is a short, easy read, but it really and truly changed my relationship and understanding of my feelings and emotions. I highly recommend this book, here and to my clients. ~ Ty, Amazon
Rating 5*. I have not learned so much about myself from a book in a very very long time, this is an amazing book and I have recommended it to almost everyone I know, it is a Must read ~ 'Amazon customer', Amazon
Rating 5*. I have been reflecting on the differences between emotions and feelings during my sixteen year marriage, on an experiental level. This book gave me a new level of clarity and many tools that help our whole family of highly sensitive people. Thank you. ~ Mariedtiger, Amazon
Sex is important, but in this book the focus is on the relationship. This refreshing exploration of being ‘triggered’ by your partner shapes my practice by encapsulating and exploring ideas and principles which I already incorporate into my relationship work. Differentiating between feeling (the live expression of here and now experience) and emotion (the re-emergence of past, repressed feelings) is a crucial feature of the book, but uncommon in psychotherapy/counselling. However, it can enable us not to take our partners’ expressions of emotion, which can include blame, judgement and criticism, personally. This frees us to remain emotionally present, which is often what our distressed partner needs. Richardson’s practical, yet profound, approach to the familiar relationship impasse (trying to communicate whilst being mutually unavailable) has given me a framework I return to with individuals and couples again and again. ~ Geoff Lamb, psychotherapist, psychosexual therapist and author, Therapy Today Journal
