At 19 years old, Devi Ward Erickson sat in her Detroit apartment with a razor blade and a gallon of wine, completely committed to ending her life. The pain of racial violence, sexual abuse, and domestic violence had become unbearable. She couldn't imagine a future worth living.
Today, that same woman has transformed thousands of lives through something most people would never connect to healing: orgasmic bliss 🌸.
Her story isn't just inspiring—it's proof that our deepest wounds can become our greatest medicine.
The Moment Everything Changed 🌟
"I refused to live in suffering," Devi shares in her recent appearance on the Sex Reimagined Podcast with hosts Leah Piper and Dr. Willow Brown. "I knew there was something else, and I was determined to find it."
That determination led her on an extraordinary journey: from stripping in Detroit to becoming a monk for 10 years, then discovering Tibetan Five Element Tantra—ancient practices that would revolutionize her understanding of healing, sexuality, and consciousness.
But here's what makes Devi's story different from typical spiritual transformation tales: she found enlightenment through the very thing society teaches us to shame—our sexual energy 🔥.

The Science Behind Sexual Healing 🧬
What Devi discovered challenges everything mainstream culture tells us about trauma recovery. Instead of spending years in therapy reliving painful memories, she learned to heal trauma through pleasure as medicine.
"At the moment of orgasm, there's no 'I'—it's egoless," Devi explains. "We have to completely surrender the ego to fully experience orgasm. That is enlightenment, and it's hardwired into human design."
This isn't just spiritual philosophy—it's backed by ancient Tibetan medical wisdom and modern neuroscience. According to Tibetan teachings, during orgasm, the moving energies in our bodies brush against the central channel, giving us glimpses of our enlightened nature.
Real Results in Record Time ⏱️
The results speak for themselves. Students at Devi's Institute of Authentic Tantra Education regularly experience:
- Complete restoration of sexual sensation in previously numb areas within 4-8 weeks
- Trauma healing through blissful states instead of painful processing
- Extended orgasmic experiences lasting 20 minutes to hours
- Nervous system rewiring that impacts all areas of life
"With bliss and orgasm, trauma melts away," Devi describes. "Instead of chipping away at trauma like an iceberg, you create a container of bliss where healing happens naturally."
The Five Elements That Change Everything 🌏💧🔥💨🌌
Central to Devi's approach is the Tibetan Five Element system—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space—each serving as an antidote to what Tibetan Buddhism calls the "five root poisons" of human suffering: anger, attachment, pride, jealousy, and ignorance.
This isn't just theory. Students learn specific practices:
- Energy body meditation that clears emotional blocks
- Conscious breathing techniques that move sexual energy throughout the body
- Self-stimulation practices combined with visualization and mantra
- Partner exercises that deepen intimacy and presence
What makes this approach "authentic Tantra" is its roots in genuine Tibetan lineage, not the watered-down versions often found in Western workshops.
Breaking the Silence on Systemic Trauma 🗣️
Perhaps most revolutionary is how Devi addresses racism as a source of sexual trauma. Born just five years after interracial marriage became legal in the United States, she experienced racial violence that shaped her relationship with her body and worthiness.
"Just because the law changed doesn't mean the cultural climate changed," she reflects.
Her Institute is a declared anti-racist organization, recognizing that healing individual trauma requires addressing systemic oppression.
This approach examines how internalized racial superiority and inferiority show up in intimate relationships, offering tools for healing that go beyond personal work to collective transformation.
The Path Forward 🚀
Today, Devi's Institute of Authentic Tantra Education is accredited by the Canadian government, training practitioners in what she calls "the most complete spiritual system for our modern times". Her work has been featured in Playboy Magazine, Men's Health, and the documentary Sexology.
But what drives her isn't fame—it's accessibility. Her new Membership Program makes these life-changing teachings available to single mothers, people experiencing financial hardship, and communities historically excluded from healing spaces.
"Anti-racism isn't just theory for us," she explains. "It's creating real pathways to authentic healing."
