What Is Alchemy?

What is Alchemy? And why should you know?

The word alchemy may stir up a multitude of ideas. from the ancient to the magical, or maybe to the best selling book written by Paulo Coelho entitled 'The Alchemist'. Great read by the way, although its many years since I visited its pages. However in simple terms alchemy is the process of metaphorically turning lead in to gold.

So why should you know anything about it? To put it bluntly, alchemy will literally be your gold, your saviour, your greatest tool, and the one thing you will be forever grateful for on your evolutionary journey. Evolutionary journey? But I'm not on one, I hear you say. Sorry to be blunt again, but if you are alive and breathing right now on planet earth, then you are on one.

But first lets set the stall out for alchemy. Everything in this universe is energy. Atoms vibrating at different speeds. Nothing is solid, it only appears solid, just like these physical bodies we have. They look solid and feel solid, and we certainly think that if we walk in to something or stub our toe against that so called solid piece of furniture. However we are energetic in nature, vibrational. We are energy vibrating at a specific frequency which creates a geometric blueprint in physical form. We are spirit beings in human suits.

The evolution process we are all in right now, including the earth, plants, and animal kingdoms. Is in a process of shifting upwards at a frequency level. Expanding in consciousness. And vibrating faster. And in order to increase and speed up our human energy. We need to alchemise all of our slow vibrating energy in to faster vibrating energy. Alchemy and knowing how to alchemise our lead in to gold will be the difference between experiencing repeated human suffering, or our human liberation and therefore expansion in to our natural joy.

And its certainly not some out there, nice to know sounding type fluff. Because where we bring the alchemy, is to our everyday down to earth daily lives. Alchemy comes out when we are in the trenches of mental and emotional turbulence. When our physical life situation is a mess. When our relationships are on the rocks. When the money is never enough. When we've sunken in to the depths of our lead. In whatever way it presents to us, we are going to need to know how to turn it in to gold. How to move through it.

Alchemy is the ability to enter in to our suffering at any level and bring our pure awareness and higher consciousness to it. Alchemy is the courage to enter in to our pain and process it through the act of fully feeling it with our full presence of non judgement. It is the ability to muster up all the compassion we can for ourselves, and having the warrior commitment to go the distance with it. It is the act of bringing our conscious awareness to all of our unconscious parts. As each and every one of us go through the process of shedding the programming and conditioning that has made up our perceived identities. Alchemy is the process of the caterpillar transforming in to the butterfly. And not one part of us, or our outer lives is left out of the equation. Our thoughts, our beliefs, our emotions, our behaviours, our personalities, our jobs, our money, our relationships, our social circles, our family dynamics, our perception of life itself. Anything and everything will enter a process of alchemy.

Right now the overall frequency on earth is rising. Consciousness levels are expanding rapidly. And as this rise in collective energy (light) continues, a natural consequence of that is the surfacing of (dark) energy that is presenting itself for the alchemical process. It is what has often been referred to as our shadow self. And everything is energy, including that shadow aspect of self, and its already here. Energy cannot be created or ever destroyed. It already exists. Therefore it can only be transformed. And it is each of us as individuals who are alchemising ourselves. Humanity is evolving. The world seemingly looking like its getting more bizarre and chaotic is no accident. The increase in mental and emotional dissonance you may be feeling is no accident. The increase in challenging circumstances in peoples lives is no accident. Its also worth noting at this point that compassion and non judgement will serve us well as we witness any other exhibiting their shadow self at this point. As they enter in to their alchemical process.

Alchemy is incredibly painful, powerful, messy, and beautiful. It is the place within where you meet, and come to know your true self. It is the place where wisdom, revelations, and your gold is found. On a mass scale we are transforming pain, suffering, disease, depression and the whole gauntlet of low vibrating mental states, emotions and life situations, in to high vibrating states of love, joy, purpose, connection, and expansion. On a mass scale, one by one, we are becoming the master builders and creators, of the next frequency state we are all shifting in to. It is happening, it is already in full swing, and going at speed. And if you aren't consciously aware of the magnitude of it at this point, then you will be at some point. The subtle and the quiet hum deep within you will start to come more to the forefront. Until it taps you on the shoulder and says 'hey wake up sleepy head, its time to play the real game of life, as the real you'.

Alchemy really is the place where you will muster up levels of compassion that you never knew existed. And that compassion will be for yourself. You will hold a space so big for yourself that you will expand in to levels of self love that will obliterate any fluffy ideas you previously had about the very words. In your mushy cocoon will be the real work of sculpting yourself in to the unique masterpiece that you always were.

And we the world can't wait to see your wings.

With Love
