Alchemy is far more than transforming metal into gold. It is the practice of inner transformation. We all have the potential to transform our lives, by aligning our thoughts, feelings, and actions with our highest and most authentic self. The ancient art of alchemy was the search for spirit in matter. In modern life, it is a way of deepening your own relationship with the sacred dimension of life. Alchemy’s greatest achievement is to create a relationship between our inner world and our outer world. While physical alchemy deals with altering and transforming the properties in the physical world, spiritual alchemy is connected with freeing your spiritual self from your fears, limiting beliefs systems, and lack of self-acceptance. Alchemy is the art of transformation, inner liberation, and change. 

To make it simple, Spiritual Alchemy is concerned with freeing your spiritual self which is trapped within you by the unrefined parts of yourself. It helps to free you from your core wounds, core beliefs, soul loss and other self-destructive personality structures in order for you to live freely. It is a practice of inner transformation. We all have the potential to transform our lives, by aligning our thoughts, feelings, and actions with our highest and most authentic.

Soul Alchemy refers to the transformation of the self through Soul Work. Using timeless as well as modern tools of healing and inquiry, we can learn to listen to the guidance of Soul as Inner Wisdom. To be whole, we must tend to Body, Mind, Heart, Soul, and Spirit.

We are taught about achieving a state of enlightenment in our yoga practice. Existing in a state of enlightenment, or soulful awareness, is the ultimate state of transformation – the gold – of spiritual alchemy. Through introspection and self-meditation, one can free themselves from core wounds, limiting core beliefs, and other thought processes and behaviors that harm the soul. 

1.     Calcination: Breaking down our egos, self-doubt, self-sabotaging behavior, and pride so that we may reconnect to our natural state of being.

2.     Dissolution:  Taking a step back and observing ourselves, both positive and negative qualities, and not allowing ourselves to base our sense of being on either. 

3.     Separation: Separating our authentic thoughts and emotions from thoughts and emotions we have been conditioned to think and feel. This allows us to see ourselves more clearly and delve deeper into our shadow work.

4.     Conjunction: Allowing for our unconscious thoughts to come to the surface so that we may observe them with conscious awareness. 

5.     Fermentation: This is the first stage in the process of rebirth. It is both the death of our old thoughts, patterns, and beliefs, and the beginning stages of the birth of our highest self, through inner peace, stillness, and introspection. 

6.     Distillation: A deeper level of purification asks us to look for inner peace in the mundane of our daily lives. This stage is also known as the state of enlightenment. 

7.     Coagulation: In this state, the universe is no longer separate from the inner mind or spiritual reality, but rather a reflection of it. What we think, we create.
