Product Description
Review
"I seriously recommend this book, for the explanation of the nine rasas alone; although the rest of the book is fantastic as well! I feel I've been introduced to my emotions . . ."
Product Description
Rasas are the essence of our emotions that exist in both the body and the mind. The Tantric tradition recognises 9 Rasas that represent our basic emotions: love, humour, wonder, courage, calmness, anger, sadness, fear and disgust. Those who practise Rasa Sadhana learn to overcome negative emotions in order to pursue better health, enhanced spiritual growth and enduring happiness. Our emotions are continuously affected by the interplay of our senses, the elements, food and the life force in our body. In "The Yoga Of The Nine Emotions", Peter Marchand offers many practical physiological and philosophical tools from Tantric and Ayurvedic traditions that can help readers change their emotional patterns. He explains the nature and purpose of each Rasa and how we can strengthen or weaken one Rasa through another. He, also, offers Ayurvedic cooking guidelines and daily routines for balancing sensory input and strengthening emotional health, including fasting from negative emotions as well as how to energise positive ones. As we master our emotions through the practice of Rasa Sadhana, we gain true control of our lives and our relationships with others.

The book is really well written, with simple explanations and full of details without being pedant. The reader can easily understand that the author could say even more but he is trying to stimulate self-discovery.
Really good, thanks a lot!

Working with your emotions - and having them work for you!
15 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
This is a great book that introduces the spiritual practice known as Rasa Sadhana, or the Yoga of the Emotions. Rasa Sadhana is a practice which names the Nine Key Emotions in two categories: agreeable and disagreeable. The premise is to reduce one's need or involvement with the less agreeable emotions of anger, disgust, sadness and fear, and enhance the agreeable emotions of wonder, calmness, love, courage and joy.
Peter Marchand brings this practice to life with practical examples and suggestions to reduce or enhance these emotions. Of course reading the book isn't enough, it takes courage (one of the agreeable emotions) to begin to integrate these practices on a daily basis and reap the very positive and tangible results. However reading about them is the first step, it cultivates awareness and actually I felt remarkable peaceful after reading the chapter on CALM. This book is a must for anyone hoping to bring yogic awareness into one's emotional life, it will save you $$$ on psychotherapy and be an invaluable tool for mastering your emotions within interpersonal relationships, at home, at work and at play.

Fan-freaking-tastic. Be prepared to become a better human being...
15 Nov 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Every human beings needs to read this book. Every child needs to be taught from this book. If the Hinduism were toned down, this would actually be possible. The Hinduism is completely unnecessary. But if you don't have a problem with the Hinduism, which I don't, it gives a very valuable and uplifting slant to all of those gods and demons and such in Hindu mythology. They, the gods and demons and such in Hindu mythology, are all symbolic of inner principles, emotions, and the like.
But more importantly is the benefit to yourself and to everyone around you. You will get a very significant benefit as soon as you read the chapter dealing with the emotion that is messed up in you, if such is the case. If you don't have a messed up emotion or two, you can enhance the good emotions, and that will help you and everyone you ever meet. It will also help you to understand emotions in a way that Western psychology does not. I have a B.A. in psychology and it has done me no good for the past 39 years, either financially or emotionally.
I was an anger monger. I got my rocks off being angry. Unfortunately, anger is a demonic poison to the heart/soul/mind, the inner you. I am no longer an anger monger. Read this book, get happier, and pass it on. (:->)

This book changes the way you view the world. However, it's also very practical. It gives you advice on how to make changes to improve your daily life. The bookcover looks mysterious, but most of it is not about religion, so no matter your faith you can get a lot out of it. I highly recommend it!
