It is quite common for us to be working toward something in the future that we believe will bring us happiness and joy, or for that matter we often feel that something/someone outside us will give us what we need to feel ‘love’ and ‘joy’. However, if you think about this it is totally impossible to feel happiness and joy in the future or to find ‘love’ from someone outside of ourselves. This is not disappointing, this is great news as we can choose, consciously, to experience love and joy right NOW! If we keep doing this right now, our future will be filled with ‘now’ moments of joy and love. How cool is that? No need to have anything from the material world to accomplish this, no need to find someone out there to love you. We already have access to this energy since it is the true expression of who we really are, our core essence, the divine you. If you just look back at your life and all the things you have attained and realize that at best they only gave you perhaps a fleeting moment of happiness, then addictively you needed something else, from out there, to make you happy. We can keep doing this forever, and will never attain a lasting sense of love, joy, happiness, or peace. Look at the evidence that is our life, our journey…. Then choose to be joyful and loving right ‘NOW’. Remember to feel LoveJoy energetically, in body, and it will help create a pathway that you can access any time, the more you do it the stronger the pathway. When the pathway is there, you can just ask to ‘turn it on’ and just pay attention as the energy of LoveJoy permeates every cell of your being. Ultimately why not just leave it on 
When we are expressing energetically Love and Joy, you will find that all the goodies in life are resonant to your energy and more Love and Joy comes into your life. This can take many forms including of course the goodies from the material world.

As we evolve and expand our awareness towards a state of Oneness we come up against all our identities, and our belief’s (conscious and subconscious). Many beliefs are created from unresolved traumatic material that lies within the subconscious mind within the body biology. While we may be committed to ‘healing’ ourselves there is an inherent mechanism within the instinctual part of ourselves (reptilian brain) that may be resisting all your efforts. There is effectively nothing you can ‘do’ to fix or sort this part of yourself out, as it is linked deeply to your survival instincts and has the power to override any efforts your ‘mind’ makes to deal with it. We call this the ‘homeostatis of consciousness’. While we may not be feeling either loving, joyful, peaceful or happy our ‘being’ is surviving, it works! Another way of recognizing this is in our Resistance to change. In contrast to this is the divine energy of love to which we are inherently drawn and this is reflected in the part of us that wants to grow and exceed our current limits. The work of healing and transcendence is to find a balance and pathway where we can feel ‘safe’ (survival instinct) enough to grow and evolve our consciousness to becoming the full potential that we truly are. Perhaps another way to say this is that we are opening up beyond existing pathways which are based on avoidance (Flight), conflict (Fight) and being stuck (freeze) toward Presence where there are no pathways just unlimited possibilities (Flow).
Alchemy Techniques is a collection of tools to release trauma (transcend existing pathways) from its root within our subconscious mind and blends this with a proven and powerful set of Conscious Choice techniques which include both intention coupled with embodiment of the divine energies and thereby bringing access to elevated states of consciousness. Removing traumatic material can also ‘pop’ you into an elevated state of consciousness and the two facilities work hand in hand. The other piece of the triangle is of course Awareness. An evolved Awareness has access to the entire body and all its sensations all the time. It is through ‘feeling’ sensations that we come in contact with the divine as well as the traumatic material (which is purely unresolved, unexpressed, unmetabolized energy) which is ‘blocking’ the light of the divine. On the other side of the same coin is the ‘knowing’ neo cortex part of the mind which is typically the part which is in the way of surrendering to the present moment experience. This is the bit that writes the story, which is already one step removed from the experience and can never be true. Check out your stories, and as Byron Katie would say, ask yourself ‘Is that really true? Do I know for sure that that story is true?’. Then remember Oneness is beyond Knowing.

Theologue, Alex Grey
Imagine if you were fully aware all the time of your whole energetic ‘in body’ experience, your feelings and your thoughts. You could do this while you walk, drive, talk to someone, wash up, anything. Your being is in a state of love, peace and joy. At the same time as this whole awareness state, you are also aware of everything outside you, you feel part of and interconnected to all. Something happens that triggers a subconscious reaction (an old program from an old unhealed trauma), the reaction is enough to take you out of your current state of consciousness, you notice, you tune in, you feel it, you heal it and you carry on. The divine light shines from within you, it is you. The triggers get less and less and eventually your light is so bright nothing creates a reaction anymore, you are healed, you’ve transcended, there’s ‘no time’ no gap between the divine and you realizing it. You have realized yourself as the divine, you have gone beyond the separated ego state of duality.
Each of us has all the necessary physiology to achieve this right now. Move beyond your resistance.
I invite you to start the journey, shorten the gaps, take the steps, travel with me and “Be the Change you want to see in the World’ Gandhi. every Friday morning for 5 weeks, course starts 18th June. (Module 1 Skills for Self Mastery part 1 of 3).

The witness is the part of us, (consciousness, Spirit, etc), which is able to ‘watch’ what is going on. Noticing thoughts, feelings and sensations. Ideally, Awareness resides within us perhaps centered in the head or heart area of the body. It can however, be ‘anywhere’. Due to traumatic events we can find that the shock or overwhelming nature of an event can propel our Awareness outside of the body. You may have heard of people in an accident who had a sense of being ‘out’ there watching the whole scene. In some situations it doesn’t fully return and this is referred to as dissociation or Soul Loss (in the Shamanic tradition). Additionally, various unusual situations can arise, also due to traumas, or even at key events like birth, where our Awareness for example may not fully separate from the mother. Without going into all the possibilities perhaps it is suffice to say that it is important that we can use our Awareness not only to notice what is happening in our direct experience, but also to become clear about ‘what is me’ and ‘what is not me’. Some highly sensitive people, who can’t differentiate ‘me’ from ‘not me’ for example, can have trouble with experiencing sensations etc, that are not even their’s and yet be unaware of it. It is also quite common, that most people have ‘blank’ spots which are areas where Awareness cannot go, its like the subconscious mind (contained in the body biology) has locked that part away from ‘view’, again due to a trauma and as a sort of survival instinct memory in an attempt to protect us in the future. These limitations, held within the subconscious, are generally creating dysfunctions, limiting beliefs and sometimes even physical illness. In order to do any effective healing work it is important to reassociate the parts of ourselves that are out of body and being kept ‘out there’ due to trauma. AHT’s healing techniques include fast and effective facilities for achieving this.

Trauma can be described as a frozen moment in time stored within our biology. This traumatic moment is held within the subconscious mind and triggered by association to the original traumatizing event. This subconscious traumatic material can create dysfunction, emotional and physical illness and challenges in our life. It can range from mild stuff that you can cope with or in some cases the nervous system can be so overloaded by condensed experience that the triggers can be hard to see, like panic attacks for no apparent reason or feeling cold putting you in a state of shock. I could go on.
It is not possible to fully access and heal this stuff with talk therapy as you are purely accessing the story part and not the part that is causing the problems. You cannot rationalize away a panic attack, that is the neo cortex part of the brain (the logical, rational thinking part). The problem is stored in the body biology where the subconscious mind lives and needs to be accessed energetically ‘in-body’. When we completely see the entire trauma pattern ‘in-body’ we often connect with the emotion and or story as well. The basic healing process is like going back to the time of the trauma, fully feeling it with presence so that the unmetabolized energy that is stored there can be released. There are many ways to do this and a variety of cutting edge techniques to facilitate the process, this is one of the key aspects of AHT’s approach. After all it is traumatic material that is preventing you living your full potential and expressing the divine you. Healing traumatic material opens up new pathways to a fuller freer life.
The body biology, nervous system, considers the traumatic event potentially being a threat to our survival and the part of us handling that is the reptilian brain (old brain where survival instincts are processed). After all, when something traumatic happens, you don’t find yourself thinking about what to do, the adrenalin kicks off and you are either into Fight, Flight or Freeze. Actually if you look deeply at a lot of your reactions to life in general, you might notice that these three responses are dominant ways of ‘coping’ with life. Flight can be equated to avoidance, drugs, alcohol, even watching TV! This is the story of ‘repeating patterns’… have you noticed those? The variety of traumatic events we hold in our subconscious can be nested, and webbed together in a chain sequence and healing the original event can often clear a large cluster of traumatic material. Ultimately we are aiming to live in the FLOW response
Often trauma events cause Out of Body Experiences (OBE). It is quite common to find people with parts of their Awareness (Consciousness) living outside the body. This is a way that the overloaded nervous system deals with the situation. When the experience is overwhelming we leave (Flight response). Traumatic material can be either a one off experience or repeated trauma. While our goal is to provide tools to enable self-mastery it is helpful sometimes to have a therapist assist. Especially in OBE situations. Also, until your Awareness is able to be not only fully in body but able to access all parts of the body your trauma may actually be hidden from your Awareness. A therapist can, by merging with your consciousness, feel these deep and chronic traumas and either point them out to you (and your Awareness) or heal them for you. We call these hidden traumas blank spots.

Join me at The Breathing Space in Oneroa on Waiheke Island to hear and experience more about this amazing work. As well as the experiential component, we will take a look at where ‘Consciousness’ is at and where it is going. We will weave together the threads of time from Indigenous cultures, religion, evolution to modern ‘man’ and modern science. I will look forward to where Consciousness is going and provide a deeper understanding of how you can participate, how you are participating in th e expression of humanity as it is right here and now. Through science and our own Awareness you can take a deeper and broader look at who you are, what is real and what is illusion. You will learn more about yourself, who you are, how you express, what lights you up, what holds you back and how you might engage more fully with the divine to express ‘the Life that you really came here to live’. I will share with you some more about the collection of research, tools and techniques that we have put together under the name ‘Alchemy Healing Techniques’, and of course we can all practice again, together, the wonderful experience of LoveJoy.
Please join me between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Friday 9th April, The Breathing Space, Oneroa, Waiheke Island
RSVP for booking by email at info@alchemytechniques.co.nz or call me on 372-6779

Those of you doing this work may have already discovered that with Conscious choice we are focusing on innate divine energies which are inherently who we are. Basically the more you appreciate the more you get more of what you appreciate. Same with the more you express LoveJoy or anything else, the more of that you will get. |This is one step deeper than the Law of Attraction work as we are not specifically focused on manifesting something in the material world. You may find that when trying to manifest something specific that if you look deep within yourself you will see that the reason you want something is because you feel a ‘lack of’ it. Conscious Choice is similar but different. We may feel a lack of love, but the solution is not to attract it from someone/something out there, it is to experience it and express it from the deep well of it that lives within you. In ‘reality’ there is never a lack of love, there is just dysfunction preventing access to it. Most people can access this, however on some occasions you/we may need to heal trauma to get there and this is where the real power of this work comes through. You may just start with not much sensation when calling up LoveJoy for example, but as you practise it gets stronger. The result may well be that you get more love in your life and it may be because as you express more the resonance of that expression will attract more ‘love’ situations to you. Love situations can manifest in many ways in the material world including money and assets. Either way, the more you feel LoveJoy the more Lovejoy you feel. Of course with the `Law of Attraction’ if you are trying to manifest something from a ‘lack of’ (even if it is unconscious which it usually is), guess what you get more of…. yep… more of the ‘lack of’ it ! Also, worth noting for those of you still trying to attract your first million… that when you look deeply at the desire for that you may find that it is not actually the money that you ‘really’ wanted in the first place. Many people who got their first million still felt something was missing…. Have fun… express your divine
