Today a writing about ALCHEMY! In its many forms, perhaps you have taken homeopathic medicine, or acupuncture, or transformed your breath into sweat. It is all the same but in different forms. As i pondered more about the methods in which to help people and myself transform what is unhealthy to what brings us to the greatest form we can be, i write about my own story of healing:
Many of you have been around long enough now to know that i had a serious illness that nearly killed me 4 years ago. The layers that were involved were much more than a foreign parasite that lodged itself into my blood, it brought out my greatest fears, grief and begged to heal or i would die. The message today is about blood. Blood you are born with carries history with it, it carries knowledge and perception, it comes into this world weak or strong, but it has the ability to change. My Kidney Qi has always been struggling, born into a violent world, i lacked the ancient Qi from my biological mother and father. But beyond that into the more ancient is some pretty divine stuff. So it is the longing of my soul to keep reaching back beyond what didn’t serve me in my early stages of life, to bring back the strength of my blood to be the greatness i am to be.
A blood infection, caused by something toxic, a parasite, something ingested, a malfunctioning filter in the body, reaches to every living cell in your body. When you have blood infections the body craves clean water and air like you have never known before. The purity of these things matters because it can release the toxins with every breath, sweat and release and take in the purity of the water that builds health.
Like Homeopathy, i have taken snake poison, a very thing that would kill someone, but in small doses, so that the chemical substance that mimics the toxin in my body will recognize each other, and something magical happens. The best way i can describe it, a shaman’s healing that refines this poison to become a potent medicine for healing that clears but yet leaves the knowledge so that we can understand the healing of it and share with others.
Every day for the past 4 years i get up with pain, numbness, fatigue residuals of the poison and illness that set up in my body. And every day it is transmuting, changing form and always being my teacher. But the amazing thing is how when we take the actions of mindfully choosing what we eat, knowing this food is the energy of tomorrow, the blood cleansers, that rest, and movement like Qigong and Yoga that balance the yin and yang of the organs, cells and energy in my body, that i am becoming stronger even though i am in age getting one more year older.
I am told that even my stars at the moment are in Chiron Return, An intention to alchemically transform wounds of my past into the medicine that i carry. Truth. Strong, bold, knowing this, gives me strength and calm to rest while becoming. Its not a time to just fall on the couch and let the world pass one by, but to actively look at everyday, every interaction ruffled, pissy, happy, whatever it may be as something that wants your attention to understanding yourself, to understanding me. And why must i understand? because its the insight to all the life around me, into how we are all living in this same light, the sun and the moon, the trees and birds, the chemistry is all the same.
Knowing that like the snake poison that one toxin can transform into potency of healing, believe that beyond your human body, deeper under the microscope to the cells and chemistry, into the energy that they are, we are the same, and the beauty we see outside of us is deep within us.
There is power in Alchemy!
