Alchemy + the Elements
Having been an Energy Medicine Practitioner for a decade now, I’ve seen some amazing transformations in people and their lives. I call this deep change ‘Alchemy’ because it exists on the energetic level of our being. We are energy and we are nature. What does that mean?
Ultimately we perceive life in its physical context on a moment to moment day to day basis. When we begin to awaken to insights beyond this tangible experience, we receive information differently from a ‘feeling’ and ‘sensing’ place. These new experiences are simply a ‘remembering’ of who we are beyond the physical into the non-physical.
Celebrating our ‘greater wholeness’ where soul and spirit begin to communicate and lead from the heart requires courage, a deep trust and inner knowing. Our ‘inner-standing’ requires us to be anchored in our hearts as we bring forth our intuitive feeling and sensing in ways that become apparent in our physical world.
I always return to the Shamanic perspective of the 3 worlds, lower, middle and upper, where we are both ascending from the lower depths and descending from the higher realms to create our ‘middle’ pathway. The simplicity of this has always resonated as it also relates to all nature based wisdom and the Daoist ‘way’.
My approach from a Chinese medicine and Shamanic perspective has always guided me intuitively towards the nature of Alchemy and the way that ‘energy’ takes form and is also formless. The classic Yin Yang theory where they are both opposite and complimentary. With this approach, we can build a relationship with our inner-being that is always guiding us in the moment.
Trusting ourselves is an essential part of our evolutionary path and requires us to really express our own essence by reclaiming the parts of us that have been denied or unloved. Our life story and that of our ancestors in our intergenerational line play a role in our genetic and constitutional tendencies. Ancestral healing helps us understand the nature of these tendencies and influences throughout our ancestral line.
As there is only the now moment, these intergenerational influences may seem to be ‘in the past’ however they actually exist within the NOW in terms of the vibrational frequency of that energy that we reside within. Alchemy gives us an opportunity to understand we are able to shift our own energy in any given moment to self-actualise aspects of ourselves that require our attention. From here we can choose to re-write our life story.
Nature has always been my ‘go to’ as the elements are the ultimate alchemical masters! When we attune to elemental waves of understanding we attune to the natural flow of ALL life. The birds, animals, sea creatures, tree’s, breeze, waters, rock, earth and sky are operating within an existing cooperative flowing field of energy. We can choose to be cooperative components in this field and we already are however, aligning ourselves with the resonating frequency of these elements is what we must sustain to receive the benefits for wellbeing, awareness and interconnectedness with all.
My whole focus for sometime now has been with the elemental qualities, the original building blocks of life that participate in the natural evolving sacred geometry that gives us the experience of joy, wonder, awe and appreciation. Our ability to align within is the self-mastery that we ALL crave as humans. Our human consciousness sets us apart from other life forms as we have the innate capability as ‘creators’ to experience ourselves and life through our ‘soul expression’ that guides us to evolve.
Earth as ‘nature’s playground’ gives us the ability to enjoy every moment and stabilise us as we become aware of the elemental powers for healing, activation and embodiment. This alchemical process through elemental wisdom is effortless once we attune ourselves and choose to step away from common perceptions of ‘linear time’ and adapt to the original source of ‘cyclical time’.
This way of being is regenerative at heart. There’s no ‘quick fix’ to any problem or issue, there’s only an awareness that we are participating in a field that provides all the answers when we can attune ourselves vibrationally. This ‘mental’ concept is possibly the most difficult to grasp as we are bombarded by information that distracts us from a simpler and more gentle life path in alignment with who we are nature and energy.
So as we transition from this wonderful Winter Water Element season, consider your own relationship with these elemental forces of nature and how you live your life in accordance with these natural correspondences. Adapting to a way of life that embodies ‘cyclical time’ will take ‘time’ as we remember our true nature and begin the undoing process to reveal our original Earth DNA coding that already exists within all of us.
Connect with me to allow your curiosity to awaken you into a new regenerative way of being. You can also learn more about this cyclical journey through the SPRING Air Element seasonal cycle where we co-design and flexible pathway and regenerative strategies based on your current ‘state of being’ on all levels of body, mind, heart, relationships. family, community and purpose. This Spring journey begins beyond the Spring Equinox beginning October 2nd, 2023. Book in for a 20 min complimentary discovery session to learn more about this personal offering.
Look forward to connecting with you soon!
