Alchemy 101 - An introduction to Alchemy (part one)
Feb 10, 2022
Alchemy at its essence is the transmutation of base material into something precious.
Mediaeval Alchemists sought to turn lead into gold, to find the philosopher's stone, the elixir of life and their magnum opus.
In more recent times, the idea of “inner-alchemy” refers to the spiritual process a person goes through in order to transform their lower-mind, or “base-consciousness” of conditioned or mundane thinking into more purified, expanded-consciousness.
When I speak of Alchemy I am talking about a sort of inner alchemy.
Carl Jung referred to it as individuation. I call it energetic, emotional, spiritual or embodied Alchemy or self-actualisation.
This is a process of self clarifying, refinement, purification, distilling into something potent, powerful and magic.
For me, the process of my work takes you on is one of personal alchemy; a journey of reclamation and renaissance, finding the art and soul of yourself and becoming your fullest essence.
Spiritual Alchemy is an ancient philosophy that uses the metaphor of transforming metals into gold for attaining 'spiritual enlightenment'.
In my work and in every aspect of my life I use alchemical processes to distil, refine, purify, remove stagnancy, and reveal the power, potency and potential at your core so that you might:
🖤 Share these treasures with the world.
🖤 Be fully empowered, embodied and expressed.
🖤 Live in alignment with your unique design, fulfil your incarnation intentions and honour your soul contract.
Using a variety of tools, practises, and experiences this alchemy is used to achieve contentment, satisfaction, fulfilment and nourishment.
By becoming more aware of our patterns, beliefs, wounds, fears, and desires we decondition ourselves and release the inauthentic parts, transforming shadows and transmuting the heavy base ‘lead’ into gold.
Understanding our common yet unique essence and returning to our wild, true state through spiritual, emotional and energetic alchemy allows for self-actualisation and spiritual ‘enlightenment'
Studies and practises such as martial arts, yoga, tantra, and other ‘temple arts’ are tools to cultivate inner Chi or elemental fire, purifying and elevating both the body and the mind.
Much of my work “burns” through old beliefs and patterns, allowing you to return to your true light or essence within.
THE VESSEL
The alchemical vessel is a space that contains the transformation.
When you work with me I hold the container. It might be a 1:1 session, a group experience, a retreat, a program or a held space.
The physical and energetic practises form only a part of the process, the vessel is activated by the relationship and the commitment.
The masculine energy contains or holds so that the feminine element may fill and combust into magic
Together they create alchemy.
"Taken symbolically, Alchemy is about turning the lower primitive aspects of the self into a purified state. To illuminate the darkness with a sense of value or meaning. Making conscious what is unconscious. This ‘becoming whole’ is the process Jung called Individuation.
One of the key conditions for alchemical transformation was a hermetically sealed vessel that could withstand the pressure necessary to synthesise base elements; that prima materia into gold. I’d like to propose that ‘commitment is that container. Like the alchemical crucible commitment is the vessel in which something raw and undisciplined can be transformed into something valuable.
Commitment is like a womb in which a new life can grow. It is hermetically sealed so that nothing extraneous can enter into the process."
