The Way of the Goddess: Daily Rituals to Awaken Your Inner Warrior and Discover Your True Self

Winner of 8 National and International Awards * Cultivate inner wisdom and strength to embark upon your own spiritual hero's journey through simple, sacred rituals from the ancient Indian goddess tradition.

In our chaotic and isolating times, it's more essential than ever to connect to our highest selves—finding the purpose, pleasure, and freedom that lives inside each of us. Grounded in the Vedic spiritual traditions of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Vedanta, the simple practices in this engaging guide offer us the space and perspective to do just that. You'll meet the nine Indian goddesses who embody the essential facets of divine feminine power—courage, creativity, intuition, rejuvenation, transformation, and more—and discover simple spiritual practices to honor each of these divine energies within ourselves.

Inspired by the nine-night fall goddess festival of Navratri from the ancient Vedic spiritual tradition that gifted the world Yoga and its sister science Ayurveda, The Way of the Goddess is an invitation to embark upon your own sacred hero's journey. Author and spiritual teacher Ananta Ripa Ajmera shares her story of how she overcame trauma and all forms of abuse with the spiritual power of love, to give you a roadmap to reclaim your own power.

Weaving together mythological storytelling, memoir, and inspired rituals, this is a step-by-step guide to balance each of your chakras. Each chapter leads you through simple daily rituals to reclaim nine spiritual superpowers, of stability, creativity, transformation, love, voice, intuition, truth, rejuvenation and intention. Along the way, you'll meet nine mythological Indian mother goddesses who represent each superpower within your own being. Their stories, along with Ananta's personal experience of overcoming sexual abuse, codependency, betrayal, eating disorders and narcissistic abuse will spark your own fire of transformation and healing. 

Whether you're looking to overcome trauma, deepen your spiritual practices, or simply to reconnect to what matters most, the daily spiritual practices in this vibrantly illustrated and empowering guide will help you reflect, rejuvenate, and most of all, inspire you to become the hero of your own spiritual journey.
