Mythic Alchemy takes us on a journey, deepening our understanding of emotional intelligence. Ambika Devi encourages us to experience each emotion without turning it into a label for who we are. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of the Navarasa, nine primary emotions traditionally expressed through storytelling, visual art, dance, and music, Mythic Alchemy weaves their wisdom through the body and senses with Yoga, meditation, body therapies, recipes, rituals, daily practices, and Sanskrit presented in Devanagari with pronunciation guidance.
In Ambika Devi's telling of Ganesha's myths, we encounter many facets of this beloved deity as he shows us how to meet, navigate, and ultimately accept each Rasa. Ganesha, keeper of cosmic wisdom, hands us the keys to deeper understanding, awakening curiosity rather than judgment about what it means to be human.
Drawing on decades of research and publishing in Yoga, Ayurveda, meditation, and consciousness, Ambika illuminates the chakras, koshas, subtle sensing, and cosmology, honoring the five elements as valued teachers. She pairs this knowledge with tools for transformation that nourish the body, mind, and spirit, guiding readers in harmonizing each Rasa.
