This book speaks directly to those who have walked through addiction, codependency, or obsessive patterns, only to find that simply removing the behavior isn’t enough.\nBecause once you remove the addiction, what do you do instead?\nThis book answers that question—not with vague spiritual promises, but with a powerful, embodied roadmap. Each chapter pairs a step from the 12 Steps with a corresponding limb of yoga or tantric principle (including the Yamas, Niyamas, Asana, Pranayama, and more), providing an accessible, soul-deep system for transmutation and realization.\nInside, you’ll discover:\nA new way to experience sobriety—not as deprivation, but as divine alignment\nAncient tools for embodiment, creative flow, breath, and energy\nHow codependency and addiction mirror spiritual seeking—and how to redirect that longing\nTantric Fairy Tales, somatic practices, and soul-provoking journaling prompts\nHow to create a life that feels like a psychedelic ritual without the substances\nDr. Erin Sutra blends decades of experience in spiritual practice, healing arts, and lived transformation into a work that is at once mystical, grounded, practical, and poetic.\nWhether you're in recovery, disillusioned by traditional models, or simply seeking bliss, power, and real presence, The Hedonist Ascetic is your guide to making daily life a sacred, ecstatic path.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0F99LGW9F\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0F99LGW9F.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sutra, Dr. Erin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43743910395965,"sku":"BVV.B0F99LGW9F.VG","price":9.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/B0F99LGW9F-0.jpg?v=1790805882","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-hedonist-ascetic-uniting-the-12-steps-and-the-8-fold-path-to-move-beyond-recovery-into-enlightened-daily-life","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
