Overview

Descend into your depths. Rise into your wholeness.What if every heartbreak, every triumph, every wound and every wonder you've experienced isn't random but a pattern waiting to be discovered? A story waiting to be claimed? The Alchemy of Your Life Workbook is an invitation to enter the laboratory of your own existence. Drawing from Carl Jung's revolutionary discovery that alchemical symbolism mirrors our psychological and spiritual transformation, author and depth therapist A. Marina Aguilar guides you through a profound excavation of your unique journey-from prenatal influences and childhood wounds through the fire of adolescence, the complexities of adulthood, the awakening of ""middlescence,"" and into the wisdom of elderhood. This isn't about positive thinking or spiritual bypass. It's about honest, courageous shadow work-descending into the basement and opening the closets so you can finally claim your full, complicated, magnificent self. Through thoughtful prompts, reflective exercises, and deep psychological exploration, you'll uncover the recurring themes, inherited patterns, and hidden gold within your own story. Structured around the seven alchemical stages-from calcinatio (the burning away of what no longer serves) to coagulatio (the phoenix rising from the ashes)-these pages help you transform raw experience into meaning, lead into gold, compost into flowers. Whether you're navigating a life transition, healing from loss, questioning your purpose, or simply ready to live more consciously, this workbook meets you wherever you are on the spiral path. The Alchemy of Your Life Workbook draws on the same Jungian depth psychology and alchemical wisdom explored in A. Marina Aguilar's Alchemy of the Heart, where the myth of Ariadne and Dionysos reveals how our heartbreaks-individual and collective-become doorways to greater wholeness.
