Alchemy Techniques

Einstein said ‘you can’t solve problems with the same consciousness that created them’… wise man.  Look at the world, see the results, we keep trying don’t we?

There is a common theme I run into with my clients.  It’s like a split, where you are unable to decide something.  You may feel ‘damned if you do’, or ‘damned if you don’t’.  Ever had that one?  Yes… thought so.  You can end up feeling stuck with all sorts of nasty emotions.  You cannot resolve these in your head… believe me… I know, I’ve tried.

Firstly, its a good idea to become really present in your body,  to the direct experience of each option in the dilemma, and clear the subconscious stuff that is showing up in your energy.  This will give you more light and awareness and basically more information, and it can remove the emotional aspect that is log jamming the energy.  Still can’t resolve it… well then it is time to expand.

We live in a kind of conscious container.  You could think of it as a box, call it ‘my reality’… it is made up of your world view, and limited by your beliefs which are created from past experiences and often unconscious.  You need a bigger box.  I know I know, you really want freedom and ‘no box’.  Well if that is so, keep doing this work!  But, for now, let’s expand the box…. its a gateway toward freedom!  You see the thing is in the box that you have, the dilemma is unresolvable…. yet in a bigger box magic can happen.  When you get to ‘no’ box, you won’t be reading blogs anymore

Again, you can’t expand the box, at the mind level, you’ll get tied up it knots.  However, by deepening into your own sense of self energetically, that feltsense of ‘I’ (where truth lives) and becoming very sovereign and whole, energetically and doing a few other things like even just feeling that feltsense expand to include the room, the sounds, and staying connected to the whole experience… you are expanding conscious awareness.  Your perception is changing, you are  seeing from a different perspective, the perspective of whole, ‘one’ and hopefully integrated.  By default dilemma have trouble existing in this kind of space.  in this expanded context (bigger box)  the dilemma shrinks, and your cognitive relationship to it therefore changes.  Not only that, you may find it is a lot easier to clear/heal those energetic subconscious beliefs (I call imprints) when you are in a bigger box, with your conscious awareness nicely expanded…  these are great steps toward wholeness and healing those splits.

In principal that is it.  Of course things can come up in this process, and you may need a guide, but in principal this is how it works.  I love it… I invite you to try it!  Alternatively come to one of the workshops, or connect  via skype.  The experience alone can change your nervous system!

Our widest aim is toward wholeness/unity through integrating all aspects of ourselves in the deepest layer of the heart (center).  The course approaches wholeness via a spiralling effect – the beginning part of the course focuses on experiencing our true nature, the blocks to embodying and expressing that true nature, and tools to dissolve those blocks so that we can continually expand the limits of expressing who we really are.

This level of the course focuses on techniques that help us explore our inner experience, feel more at ease in every day life and begin to identify with our true nature (light) as a sense of “I”.  We have been socialized to identify with our external circumstances and environment as who we are.  Another way to say this is that we identify with what we call “trauma” as opposed to our Core Essence.

In order to loosen the identification with trauma, we work a lot with Core Essence qualities to enhance access to these qualities in our every moment experience.  We learn that we can access Core Essence in every moment, and we learn how to heal what inhibits us from doing that.

Usually the student at this point is beginning to work with Core Issues and becomes savvy around healing Core Issues within the process of the course.  As a result Core Essence becomes more and more available to the student, which means previously difficult or uncomfortable situations are transformed into moments of creativity, flow and ease.  Mastering the healing of Core Issues means that healing begins to become such an easeful process that the student can use the healing tools in order to heal trauma as it comes up on the spot in everyday situations.

Along the path of this spiral the student encounters many ecstatic experiences and so-called gifted abilities such as telepathy, high sense perception, deep empathy (feeling other people’s emotions and state of being), past life recall, remote viewing and others.  For us these are interesting and useful on the path yet it is important that we focus on them within the context of wholeness/unity.

The latter half of the course builds on what the student has experienced in the first half.   The use of techniques begins to loosen as the student learns to trust their direct inner experience – realizing and embodying the principles behind the techniques.  In this part of the course, we use the questions “Who Am I” and “From where did I originate” to drive our exploration and integration.  Specifically we explore and transform our sense of identity.  We begin exploring these questions using a clear and succinct process for integration of our most fundamental parts – what we term the Trinity.

These key questions along with the capacity to navigate our own fields to find the answers to these questions eventually leads us into the deepest layers of the heart.  The process of clearing at this layer of the heart and embodying the result means that we literally become “all heart”.  The innermost chamber of the heart expands to include, transform and embody the whole energy field, including the physical body.

All of creation is going in this direction by default, but we have created a program with tools to help us get there, including mapping this path if one desires.  The ability to map our inner terrain is cultivated in the last part of the training.

Our approach may sound similar to the ancient systems of inner development, for example Yoga and the mystery schools.  In fact our path has many parallels to these ancient systems, especially given that like the originators of Yoga, we got our knowledge via direct experience as opposed to being the receivers of someone else’s direct experience. It is in this vein that going forward as teachers, we decided to teach others how to gain the direct information for themselves.  The first level is preparation and entry into this level of getting information and the second level of training deepens into this Self Mastery.

Bringing the process of discovering the information for oneself – what Masters have been doing for thousands of years – directly to the student is a key and exciting aspect of our work.

Wholeness – the experience of fulfilment, nothing is missing, completeness  - experienced more and more in the face of life situations in which we may normally disintegrate out of wholeness.

Our approach is parallel to that of A.H. Almaas, G. I. Gurdjieff and Ken Wilbur’s Integral Approach.

In this work  it has become apparent that most people in certain circumstances experience (perhaps unknowingly) a dissociation from their hearts.  To some extent this can be severe in that they go, out of body, or move to thought based processing without  consideration of the heart. In shamanic terms it might be called soul loss.   The Heartmath Institute who are researching heart, stress,  and coherence tell us that the heart has 5000 times more electromagnetic energy than the head/brain.  If we are operating from head we are probably feeling tired, stressed, disconnected from life, and in the duality of survival mode where we feel separate from ourselves, our people and the earth.

The heart wants to connect.

It might seem incredibly simple that all we need to do is focus our awareness in the heart center (center of chest) and breathe deeply and slowly which can quite quickly bring us back into ourselves, and is also the basis of attaining coherence between the head and heart.   Furthermore by creating energetic feelings of love, joy, and appreciation and experiencing them in our hearts for just 20 minutes a day can improve the quality of our lives and heal much of the mind based chatter of negative content that permeates our day.  At the same time, this practice is actually reuniting you with your core essence, your true nature.  It is like reminding the nervous system of  an aspect of the truth of who you are.  Keep a journal and try this as a practice for 21 days (20 minutes a day) and make note of the difference.  Done in the morning it sets the scene for a better day.

The light is a very powerful thing…. darkness is illuminated by it, and even disappears…  So this energetic experience of being in the heart, feeling love and joy and appreciation energetically…. can heal us, improve our sense of well being and also highlight whatever it is that is hiding in the dark, waiting to be healed, waiting to unblock the filters and beliefs that are limiting us from expressing our true nature.

This is a good place to start, continue, or end…. wherever you are on the path.  Try practicing this throughout the day by holding awareness in your heart center,  and while listening or talking to another.  Speak and listen from the heart… this is not just a concept to talk about, this is an experience to be had that can dramatically alter your perception, attitude and sense of yourself in relation to another.  I invite you to try it, and let me know how it goes.
