Alchemy
Transformational Healing
Energy
All
that exists within the entire created
universe is composed of energy:
electro-magnetic energy, thermal-chemical energy,
potential-gravitational energy, solar-photonic energy,
subatomic-nuclear energy,
psychic-mental energy, vibrational-sound energy....
We live in
an
ocean of
energy: we breathe energy, smell energy, taste energy, see energy,
touch energy and think energy. Energy, in one form or another,
permeates every one and every thing (whether we are aware of it or
not). This energy is processed and incorporated within our
beings at every moment of our lives. The law of physics states that
“energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transmuted from
one form to another”. The process of
“shifting” ones energies from one state to another is called
“Alchemy”.
Kundalini
Overlaying our physical spine is an "etheric
channel" (called the
"Shushumna") where resides the
so called "Kundalini" energies. In the Greek mystery schools, the Kundalini
energy is represented as a
serpent
headed "Staff" or "Caduceus" (a symbol still used by the
medical profession today). In the Americas, ancient Mayan cosmology
speak of the rainbow feathered
serpent "Quezacoatal", and in the Old Testament, there is of
course the serpent in the "Garden of Eden". And from a "modern" point of
view, scientists can demonstrate that when a current of energy is run
through
a metal
pole, a spiraling vortex of magnetism is generated (the "serpent"
image
fits perfectly with this phenomenon).
Ley
Lines and Vortexes
Aspects
of this self same energy may also be found to exist, not just within
our bodies, but also flowing throughout the physical universe.
In Chinese
Feng Shui and Celtic
Geomancy,
this energy -
as it flows through channels in the Earth - are known as
"Dragon" or "Ley Lines". The earth worshipers of old placed
temples upon major crossing points of
these Ley Lines (most all ancient churches in Great Britain were
build upon the foundations of these old temples). if you look at
Celtic art today, Ley Lines
(and Vortexes) are still well represented.
In
some special locations on the planet (Sedona, Arizona being
one) planetary energies can actually be felt to not only run in
linear lines, but circulate in clockwise and counter clockwise
directions, going into and out of the planet. Similar to the positive
and negative poles of a magnet, those
swirling energies radiating up and out of the earth are considered
masculine or "positive" vortexes, and those swirling energies
descending
into the
ground are considered feminine or "negative" vortexes.
Ley Lines
and Vortexes also have their corespondent energies points
within our own bodies - Ley Lines are likened to the
energy "Meridians" of Oriental Medicine, and Vortexes are likened to
the "Chakras" spoken of by Hindu mystics (in the Sanskrit language,
"chakra" translates as "wheel"). If one is sensitive enough, you too may feel these different
energies.
Intention and Desire
Who and what we
are is greatly determined and directed by the
intentions of our mind and the desires of our heart. What the
soul desires - that is what the soul will attract,
attach to and become. In other words, we are able to project ourselves
itself into and take on or identify with any state of matter we
choose. When we incarnate into and live for any length of
time in a physical body, the inclination of our ego mind is to take on...and innevitably identify with, the grosser, denser or
lower states of matter and its accomanying feeling (such as fear,
anger, sadness, grief, jealousy, hatred, selfishness, and so
on).
Devolution
Deep deep down, most all souls hold the memory
of separation from the Oneness of God (this is otherwise known as
"The Fall from Grace").
Whatever brought this real or perceived separation about (be it a
mysterious divine act of God or the influence of rebellious Angels) the
result is the same: a slowing down of the Kundalinis core
vibrations...
resulting in the
transitioning into a lower (denser) state of energy.
Using
the states of water as a metaphor for the Kundalini;
In
its "etheric" state, water is steam
- which vibrates very quickly and rises up.
In its
“astral” state, water is a liquid - which vibrates
slower and flows.
In its "physical"
state, water is solidified as “ice” - which vibrates so slowly it
is virtually standing still. This is the densest manifestation of the
Kundalini, what we see as the actual physical
spinal cord.
While
the internal vibrations of the kundalini devolve,
the underlying consciousness of the soul begins to identify
with these denser shells. To
be clear, it is not the soul itself that is devolving, but the
vibrational structures and densities that surrounds it. The soul (or
light body) itself is free of the density, but it can (through
intention and desire) surround itself with layers of vibrational
density till the soul loses sight of its pure unfettered
identity/essence and gets lost in the illusion it has cloaked itself with.
At
the sub-atomic level, all matter is composed
of protons, neutrons and electrons. When energy is applied to this
system, the electron takes in the charge and further accelerates its
spin around the nucleus, and just like in a microwave oven, while
spinning, it rotates and vibrates within the molecule, generating and
giving off heat. The more energy is added, the more this process is
accelerated the more there is an increase in vibrations and more
heat is generated. When energy ceases to be applied, what energy
remains in the system is eventually released, the molecule dissipates
its heat and its vibrations slow down.
The Quickening
The "Ascension" of the Kundalini energies
within the spine can likewise be awakened, accelerated, supported
and stimulated with
the added assistance of this healing work. By applying higher
vibrations through the core, ones "Spirit" is "Quickened": there
is an increase of energy flow, and more "psychic heat" is generated.
The (icy)
density within begins to vibrate at a faster and faster rate until the
kundalini energies "transforms" or "transmutes" the lower vibrations
into a subtler and subtler state. And as the energies ascend (like
steam, or mercury in a thermometer) what is revealed are the more
astral (liquid)... and then the more etheric (steam) levels of
ones underlying spiritual consciousness.
Auras
The "Divine
Light" that exists behind Creation - as it shines through the densities
or veils surrounding the soul, is percieved as and called the "Aura".
Traditional
depictions of Jesus and his disciples have them appearing with white or
golden halos around their heads. This is the way many sensitives see
the aura - either around
the head or a few inches off the whole body... but not everyone
displays auras in those colors of gold or white. The colors of
the typical person vary greatly, and are dependent on ones density of
vibration. For instance, if a person is
predominantly holding a lower physical or material vibration, such an aura
could appear as a static solid dark color. If a person is more
astral or emotional in vibration, such an aura could appears in more flowing colors.
For someone who is more etheric or subtle in vibration, their aura could appear
in more pastel colors. Essentially, the less dense one is, the
more the inner light of your soul can shine
through.
We
all start out on our journey as "Enlightened" beings. Through the
materialization process - where the soul takes on greater
densities and gets lost in the illusion - ones inner light becomes
covered
over and hidden. Our journey back to that State of Grace, the
Realization of Self, the Return to Innocence... this is the spiritual
path.
Liberation
- the Big Stretch
As the Soul experiences itself in
these higher or lower states of being, the consciousness of the
ego-mind may begin to "identify" itself as and attach itself to these
limited states of matter. Ones healing becomes more than simply the
transformation and transmutation of energies and vibrations... one must also liberate the ego-mind consciousness from its
identifications and attachments.
If
we cease to “change” and “flow”, that is to
say, if we stop moving, stretching or expanding... our minds,
thoughts,
energies, emotions and body become more and more stagnated, congested,
contracted, darker and denser... till our physical body can no longer
hold our life force and it (this physical shell) dies.
To experience a more abundant
life, we must be in a state of constant change
– to “stretch” or
“expand” in every which way. Life itself does have a way of
naturally changing and stretching us, but we can also be proactive about it. There are many spiritual paths and
practices that attempt to address this need, and each has it's place. What I am offering here is one of them.
