Alchemical
Healing—
Principles to Live By
Alchemical
Healing™ has two major benefits: it is a powerful healing form, and
it opens a path of transformation for the practitioner of this work. This
was exactly my experience when I began to practice Alchemical Healing.
While my clients were immediately brought to a greater level of health
and well-being, I soon noticed that I was changing as well. I felt stronger
and healthier than ever and gained a deeper understanding and connection
to my core, my intuition and my healing gifts. I was excited to be my
authentic self and able to release all the fear of standing in my full
power. Through practicing alchemical healing I was becoming transformed,
walking on a path of enlightenment that was unfolding before me. Through
time I associated this transformation with the four principles that Alchemical
Healing™ is based on. These principles are: 1. Honoring our gifts
and developing our skills. 2. Co-creating with the divine through working
with spirit allies. 3. Allowing space for the magic and divine intervention
to occur. 4. Offering our gratitude. Living by these principles offers
a spiritual path of health, happiness and well-being.
The first principle gives us the opportunity to recognize and enhance
the unique gifts that each of us brings to the table. What medicine and
talents do we carry? What is our signature energy that makes us special?
Do we carry a talent for music, for dance, for telling stories, for making
peace and instilling love into any situation? After we recognize what
we carry in our “medicine-bag”, we can enhance these gifts through
practice and offer them to the world. Besides our intrinsic talents there
are many additional skills we acquire through the study and practice of
Alchemical Healing. These include being present, attentive and being intentional,
as well as, utilizing the powerful techniques and tools of the healing
technology. We acquire skill in using unlimited life force energy, and
the energy and intelligence of the elements earth, water, air, fire and
akasha. Using Alchemical Healing also fine tunes our senses and develops
our intuition, allowing us to be more precise and effective in our healing
practice and in our lives.
The second principle of Alchemical Healing addresses co-creating with
the divine through building relationships with allies, spirit guides,
animal- and plant totems, and the deities of Egypt and other pantheons.
Consciously or subconsciously we are always receiving help and divine
guidance. In Alchemical Healing we ask for assistance and direction from
our guides and develop an intimate relationship with them, thus creating
a bridge between the seen and unseen worlds, between the divinity within
and the divinity without. Spirit allies offer many healing gifts and bring
their unique perspective and intelligence to the work. Each ally also
has a signature energy that we learn to recognize with time and practice.
Establishing relationships with spirit allies has an empowering effect
on our lives. As we focus on the many positive aspects of divinity, we
also build these qualities within ourselves. For example, Maät is
the Egyptian Goddess, who represents truth and balance. When we invoke
the attributes of Maät, we begin to create a relationship to the
truth and balance that exists within ourselves. As we know the Gods, we
learn to know ourselves. Once we realize our true essence and co-create
with the divine our lives begin to transform in magical ways.
The third principle reminds us not to be attached to the results, but
instead to allow space for the mystery, the magic and divine intervention
to unfold. We all have witnessed an inordinate amount of miracles in our
lives and the lives of others. When we pay attention, we notice there
are always components that we cannot plan or account for. This is where
the mystery resides. Time and space must be allowed for this magic to
occur. The more we try to control the process and the outcome, the less
space is available for the creativity of the divine to support us. Our
responsibility is to show up, do our best and be conduits of spirit, and
leave the results to spirit.
The fourth principle is giving gratitude for each moment in our lives.
We offer our gratitude to the guides, the elements and allies, and all
that support and teach us. What we focus on increases. Thus as we offer
appreciation for our blessings, the blessings in our lives multiply. Living
in a state of gratitude and grace positively impacts our lives, regardless
of what we are doing. When we come from a place of gratitude our hearts
open and our attitudes shift. Through gratitude we also offer energy back
to our spirit helpers feeding and nourishing them and fortifying our relationship
with these allies and our selves..
Many of us have been searching for an alchemical transformation - a way
to live our true essence, to be at peace and to bring meaning and passion
into each day. For others, and myself this transformation occurred after
incorporating the four principles of alchemical healing into our lives.
As we follow these principles, honing our skills, co-creating with the
divine, allowing space for the mystery to unfold and offering our gratitude
we are naturally guided to live our heart’s desire.
