The Depths

She has been waiting for you to come back.A relationship ends. A self-abandonment that was waiting underneath it surfaces. A woman finds herself on the floor of her own life, in a body she has been outrunning for years, with no clear way home.The Depths is the book for that woman.Written from inside the descent rather than from the other side, this is a Shakti book for women in the long passage of transformation. Heartbreak is the entry point. Burnout and the slow leaving of an old self are the same fire under different names.What you will find inside:• A complete twelve-chapter passage through descent and return, organized into three movements: The Descent, The Return, and The Expansion• Practices the body can stand inside: breathwork, kundalini kriyas, somatic release, the rage practice, the midnight letter, the monthly grief ritual, and the mirror practice• Honest teaching on the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, and the second half of a feminine life, written by a woman on the other side of the cycling years• Kundalini and tantric vocabulary used where it is the most precise word, never as decoration• The science of the nervous system, post-traumatic growth, and the female body, woven through the lineage without apologyThis book is for the woman who:• Has lost someone she loved and is trying to find her way back into her own body• Has been overgiving for years and is finally feeling the weight of it• Knows there is something underneath the exhaustion she has not been able to name• Wants practices, not platitudes• Is willing to go into the dark in order to come out of it differentThis is not a book about getting over the loss. It is a book about meeting the woman underneath it.Read this if you loved: The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller, Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Awakening Shakti by Sally Kempton, or Belonging by Toko-pa Turner.The depths are real. So is the woman who walks back out of them.She is you. 6
