The art of seduction | Seema Anand | TEDxEaling
The ancient arts of Courtesanery and Seduction were once treated as high philosophy, with divine and academic associations. Dr. Seema Anand explores how these narratives have been lost and in the evolution of their vocabulary, the implications have changed. Working with the range of what 'story' can mean to an individual Seema facilitates the learning processes of 'telling', 'listening', 'acknowledging' and 'rejecting' the narratives that make up our lives and our social interactions to enhance communication, build links and open dialogue.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

Ask me to talk on seduction for 2 minutes, I will end up saying f* word multiple times. And she explained origin of seduction throughly with amazingly embedded words. Simply beautiful!!
Let's learn somethin then !!
😂same
😂I said f* word when I realized I am like you.
The idea of men being knowledgeable on how to fully satisfy a woman is a thought which is more ignored than adhered to in Indian society. I wish more people could talk about this subject the way you have. So broad-mindedly, openly and yet fascinatingly, interwoven with the art of storytelling, history and science. In an age of capitalism where beauty is a construct sold on billboards everyday, its talks like these that show how deep the meaning of relationships, communion and the ecsatcy of love can be about.
This is the most underrated comment here. So true
Anirudh Vasdev Trust me, everything is meaningless
Actually u described it so beautifully it amazed me
OMG! U an animé fan?! Same here!! PS: just checked your playlist 😁
The idea of both men and women.
Can we take a minute to appreciate her speaking skill. She speaks magical, I couldn't take my eyes and ears off during the entire video. Loved it mam.
Speaking skill is one thing and truth is very farther. A good salesmanship is one thing but..... You are good at one language, your vocabulary is very strong doesn't mean that you know ground realities.
What speaking skill, she may have rehearsed for months, and lots of takes and retakes may have involved to shoot this video.
me too
My mind is everywhere but not in vedio
@@inderjeetsingh7770 you never lose anything by appreciating!
She speaks so beautifully.The confidence, the gestures, the vocabulary, the expressions, and most importantly the value she put into the talk is so wholesome. The way she doesn't hesitates talking about any topic, and the words come out of her mouth like river. She is an art herself.
Would you hesitate counting upto 10 on the stage?

Don't ever try to make a picture out of something, you will always settle for little. Think about your previous life, were you waiting for only this video to settle for more or maximum.
now that's something interesting definitely you shouldn't as we came across ancient vedic knowledge that is being hidden in new world apparently we knew minimal keys point of knowledge being a creature of habit we should explore the knowledge to hit things in righteous way so we don't rely on anything expect for real ecstasy😅😅😅
Can we take a min to appreciate her language, her eloquence, and even the tone…..natural story teller!!! It was seductive just listening to her.

This is one shade of feminism as per India. Grace, intelligence, confidence and love simultaneously.
Feminism the worst thing in the world worst than cancer...
@@soumiyadas221 I think its not worst as you think of it. Feminism is about equality between all the genders in the world. But few people are misusing it!!! With those few member's thoughts and acts we cannot decide about the entire part!!!
@@eswarkeella114 Equality is not possible...what we can do is reduce extreme inequality and end discrimination
@@hijack69 that's what feminism tells about. To reduce even if we can't vanish everything!! But few idiots using feminism in wrong way.
@ironshark123 if there's no equality everyone have right to fight!!! As you said about handicapped, these type of rules are invented by us. These reservations made handicapped victims . For you,those reservations are small,but for those who're fighting,they're large!! Everyone deserves them but due to lack of equality,many trans are still begging,handicapped are still surviving. People have to change and educate themselves.....:)
*If she were my teacher... I would never ever fall asleep in class !* Oh how she held all my attention ! ❤

An out standing oration , in few minutes she took the word " seduction" to highest angelical level. Thank you.
She is beyond words... Only thing I can say, I wish I was a woman like her. The epitome of grace, beauty & intelligence.
@@swarmay Um could you speak that fluently and flawlessly on a ted talk infront of a huge crowd without stuttering and getting tongue tied? No?
People in front of camera are different child
You still are.
These days the art of seduction is to ignore the other person so you're hard to get LOL
True words. It's a lazy person's "seduction". My dating life is full of girls who are "i'm so interested in you! (but i'll never initial anything)." I like a good challenge but looking pretty/cool isn't enough to intrigue me. I suppose pretty girls can afford to play that game.
This talk is not for girls or boys but for men and women. For all those who ever wonder how is it even possible to live with the same person exclusively for the rest of their lives after marriage. It is boring even with love, for them the art of seduction is key to ultimate success and happy relation for long term.
God! Kudos to your thinking! :) :)
You seem like a bitch
thanks :)
Her voice ❤
She remind me of Tadka and nothing else.
She explains everything in a extraordinary way...her facial expressions are so good ..
Actually each time this lady touched her hair, she is the master of seduction.
And she has such beautiful hair at that..

It’s a pleasure to listen to her. It’s not the first time I did but thrice now. She is so enriched with all the knowledge and the research that her narration makes it even worthwhile to give a listen. An absolute being.
She explained very well.A big round of applause for her speaking skills . In short we say the process of ART OF SEDUCTION as FOREPLAY in modern English. Our ancestors and saints were so romantic.Lot to learn from them. I must read the book to improve my skills 🙂
her persona is mesmerizing! Her voice, body language, her words, eye movement, gestures, knowledge and ability to articulate her thoughts so well, her appearance, and so many other things I noticed makes her a seductive woman herself! beautiful! I loved the talk
true. excellent speech.
What a fine orator she is! I wish I could have even 10% of talent that she has. Finest story teller.her voice , body language, expression all are perfect I can listen to her for hours.
you are hypnotized , please come out
@Prakash Sharma 😂😂
don't listen to the haters do what you love
I felt intoxicated by each word she spoke, telling an ancient story of creation with such poise. It was gentle tossing of hair, the adjusting of her saree. I've always had a sense of wonder for the intricate design & style of Indian clothes.
What a narration! What explanation! What eloquence and elegance.. She is flowing with her words!! Lovely

Her confidence!! People should understand that all this is normal and there is nothing to be shy or feel as though this is a secretive topic !! Communication and boldness makes everything even more beautiful!! Absolutely lovely ma'am!
This is the first video of Ted talks that I watched entirely without skipping 10 seconds and my eyes were not flinching the entire. Absolutely enjoyed her speech. ❤️
What knowledge. She did not seduce by her body did it by her intellect. Ultimate seductress.

Thank you KZhead for recommending this! I enjoyed listening to the stories and the way she presented this topic was so alluring,subtle, inviting and powerful just like how seduction should be
Right said dear

R u on wtspp?
Her speech is not only about seduction also about confidence in ourselves..... Thank you Mam
Art of Seduction is one of the toughest art to learn and master .. None the less she is a women from whom a man hardly can divert his mind and eyes... SHE is simply ENCHANTING
+Faiyaz Khan touché, ENCHANTING

+don carlo Yupp...certainly she is....But what's harm/wrong if you find some one enchanting... The aura of her personality is what most appealing...
may b when she was young she was hot...here she looks old
She really showed that seduction has nothing to do with gender, age or a particular body type
Age should be kept in mind while seducing someone bruh! Don't seduce someone below 18!
she is wrong
right! its about consent, chemistry and respect, look at Shiv and his wife!

She is absolutely excellent and if anyone of our grandmother or mother would try to understand and explain this, I think no women would suffer so much.
She was not seducing! She was explaining the art of seductions do eloquently but the rest are commenting about her seducing everyone there combing her hair, pulling her Pallu’s. She was not doing any of that! She could have worn see through sarees if she wanted to seduce!! She was indeed dressed so appropriately even her Pallu’s so beautiful covered! I respect her because she’s got such strong connection with the audience and the way she presented the talk is amazing! ❤️💜💙
Agree with you
Fouzia Shariq Based on my view from her presentation. Thank you I’m a female 🙂
So,You mean seduction is just about wearing see through and revealing cloths? Isn't this type of mentality the major cause of rapes in India?

My goodness, this lady needs to write a book. Wonderful stuff! Its a shame that i as a wwesterner hear these beautiful things as an adult, and not learned from childhood. She told the stories as if her body was eminating the story. What a great speaker
The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene is a great book which gives examples of the great seducers all through history, although I don't think there are any examples form the Indian sub-continent.
Please don't blame yourself for being westerner. I grew up in this so called land of ancient wisdom and I gather information from KZhead.
dinku2012 haha, I am so greatful for youtube and all of the wonderful things I have learned on it ;) How fascinating to live in a place with so much recorded history, wisdom and culture. Beautiful!
For such a topic her selection of words simply explains the depth of her knowledge and richness of the topics and subjects she has gathered her knowledge from.
Hey you. Yes, you. You're probably scrolling through the comments, like I am, reading all these motivational comments. If you are reading this at night, you should get some sleep, and don't stress about everything going on in the world, or what you are going through. Don't dwell on things from the past, don't stress on your future. Just live your life, because you only get one. Do whatever makes you happy, not what other people want from you. For me, I'm gonna wake up tomorrow morning, hit the gym, and cherish life for the amazing blessing that it is. I hope you do the same and have an amazing day as well! ❤
It's funny and pathetic how many people feel the need to state their narrow mindedness in the comments. You're literally contributing nothing positive to this.

+Nyatta Kigarra how is this video contributing anything positive at the first place, please may i know?
She is a beautiful story teller. There is a lot to learn from history and she has completely nailed the topic where one needs to first look inwards to have a better compatibility with his or her partner. Be it personal hygiene , using perfumes and oils and dressing up .. sometimes the answer is really that simple...often taken for granted and lost in our routine
The word Seduction is Taboo to such a level that I can't watch this video at my home on my phone on speaker. Absolutely amazing video, can we please bring the old culture back. When these things were talked upon and studied upon.
That was very informative .. I really appreciate the way she explained it. She is very expressive and did a amazing job !
Even her dressing sense had something to do with seduction. It wasn't all out like the actresses but there was just something I can't pin point which made her look so alluring damn :3
