The plants spoke-- are you listening? In Integration Alchemy, Deva Arani weaves practical guidance, intimate storytelling, and ancient wisdom to help readers alchemize their psychedelic experiences and lead more joyful and meaningful lives. How do we return to our daily lives after massive transformation? How can we integrate an awakening experience without chasing high after high? Deva Arani grapples with these questions and more in Integration Alchemy: The Real Ceremony Is Your Life, weaving practical guidance, intimate storytelling, and ancient wisdom into a net of support.
Integration Alchemy is a book designed to help seekers who have experienced sacred plant medicines integrate their journeys so that the healing and understandings received can take root in their day to day lives. Many seekers can find themselves adrift after these healing experiences, wondering how they can reconnect to a sense of Oneness, or even feeling unmoored from their normal lives. In light of the "psychedelic renaissance," and with plant medicine journeys becoming more accessible to Westerners, it's imperative that seekers have tools to integrate their experiences.
This book offers a map that guides the seeker inward, understanding the journey from the perspective of first anchoring in the body, then exploring the mind and emotions. The reader is invited to understand and continue to heal the layers that were revealed during their ceremonies. Combining teachings from the ancient lineages of South American and Eastern spiritual wisdom keepers alongside modern Western teachers, this book offers a unique perspective that goes beyond the "psychology" of integration. Here lies an invitation to embark on an inner journey toward wholeness that is rooted in the body its innate wisdom.
In so doing, readers will learn that in integration is itself an act of reciprocity with the teacher plants, wisdom keepers, Mother Earth, and existence itself. Your life is a sacred ceremony and this book is a guide to help you alchemize your healing so that you can fully participate in this life's beauty.
