the Yoga of Nine Emotions

A guide to changing negative emotions and promoting happiness using traditional Tantric and Ayurvedic practices. Rasas are the essence of our emotions that exist in both body and mind. The Tantric tradition recognises nine Rasas representing our basic emotions: love, humor, wonder, courage, calmness, anger, sadness, fear, and disgust. The approach combines Rasa Sadhana with practical physiological and philosophical tools from Tantric and Ayurvedic traditions to help readers alter their emotional patterns, improve health, and support spiritual growth and lasting happiness. The book explains the nature and purpose of each Rasa and how one can strengthen or weaken a Rasa through another. It also provides Ayurvedic cooking guidelines and daily routines for balancing sensory input and emotional well-being, including exercises to disengage from negative emotions and energise positive ones. By mastering emotions through Rasa Sadhana, readers can gain greater control over their lives and relationships.

Rasa Sadhana emphasizes integrating emotion work with broader yoga practices and daily life. The material highlights how emotions are continually influenced by senses, elements, food, and life force within the body.
