Words from the Field
Sat Dharam Kaur ND, Co-Founder Compassionate Inquiry Professional Training
“In Integration Alchemy, Deva gently guides the reader with a steady, loving hand through the inner and outer journey of integration. Her lived experience, embodied practices and accumulated wisdom are a valuable resource for anyone, both before and after plant medicine ceremony.”
Jennifer McKeever, RCC, CCC Somatic Psychotherapist, Breathwork Teacher, and Path of Love Leader
“Integration Alchemy is a much-needed guide for anyone who has opened to something profound in ceremony and wondered how to bring that awakening back into daily life. Deva Arani writes with both reverence for the lineages she carries and a deep, lived understanding of the nervous system, embodiment, and true integration. This book is a grounded companion for the long, spiraling journey of genuine transformation”
Nanda Nina Lynch, Rinzai Zen Priest
“Deva Arani is deeply committed to her work with plant medicine, meditation practice, and therapeutic training. She has woven these paths into her daily life with sincerity and devotion. She now brings her knowledge, experience, and love to support others. She has been a steady source of inspiration and encouragement for me, and this book gathers her wisdom into an extraordinary resource for those walking a path of healing.”
Scott Lines, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Certified Psychedelic Therapist Integration
Integration Alchemy is a rare and essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the deeper meaning of their psychedelic or ceremonial experiences. Drawing from decades of lived practice, Deva Arani offers a grounded, soulful, and deeply compassionate approach to integrating expanded states into the fabric of daily life. Her writing illuminates the subtle terrain between insight and embodiment, inviting readers to walk the path of healing with clarity and integrity. This book will be a trusted companion to journeyers from many traditions, supporting them long after the ceremony ends.”

“Integration Alchemy offers a grounded, trauma-informed framework for transforming expanded-state experiences into lasting psychological and relational growth. With precision, compassion, and deep skill, Deva Arani illuminates the essential practices that support true and sustainable integration. This is a valuable resource for clinicians and seekers alike.”
Nooraya Sophia Wales, Transformational Coach, Breathwork facilitator, and Visual Artist Description goes here
“I have witnessed Deva Arani’s clarity, integrity, and unwavering devotion to the healing path for years. With Integration Alchemy, she brings together her hard-earned wisdom in a guide that is at once practical, accessible, and profoundly illuminating. It embodies the same grounded presence she offers in her work—real support for the lifelong journey of transformation.”
Sharanya Naik, Facilitator and Practitioner of Holotropic Breathwork™
“There is so much to say about integration after deep work in expanded states that even a week-long workshop devoted entirely to integrative practices can feel incomplete. Arani’s book is comprehensive, touching every aspect of the process. It is relevant not only to participants in medicine ceremonies but also to those who practice Holotropic Breathwork (one of my own modalities of choice) or engage in any form of deep inner work. Her writing is clear, concise, and kind. Through generous stories from her own experience, Arani offers invaluable insight into working with entheogens while guiding readers through the nuances of integrative practice. Body, mind, and spirit are all addressed with equal depth and care. I myself have received steady, grounded support from Arani over the years. By reading this book, you will join me in that receiving. It is a true gift.”
Brandi Irby, MS, LPC
“Deva Arani offers the kind of wisdom that only comes through years of deep experience and devoted practice. Reading and applying the practices in Integration Alchemy is like sitting with an elder who knows the path intimately — it carries a depth of knowledge that will serve both newcomers and seasoned travelers of expanded states on their journey to integrated wholeness.”
