    Brilliant! I'm happy to find you here, Teresa. The language of alchemy calls to me more and more each year, and I'm eager to learn more from you!

    THANK YOU Teresa, I love your blog! So refreshing... Lil story here... I once had a gorgeous cat named Alchemy, egyptian looking profile, large and very graceful. She ran away just after I moved her from the city to a lovely, remote mountain community. I know she probably took off with the fight-or-flight of changes, but I like to imagine that she enjoyed the wild woods, however long she made it there, and hope that she reached a neighbor's house and got invited inside. What a shift, traveling from a dark cage on Market St downtown SF (and who knows where before that) to a warm flat with a bunch of giggling college girls, and then up to the forests and fields above Garberville, with long grasses and oaks and pines and fragrant bay trees, snakes and deer and the bright moon and coyotes... Corny as this is, my spirit is still longing for the alchemy I received from knowing her from the moment I met her, and pining for that inner wilderness.

When we modify or adapt to serve a new or different purpose, we transform. When we go beyond, rise above, overshadow or eclipse, we transcend what we were and become something new. When we take transformation of our physical or lower perceptions to their highest expressions, the spiritual or higher state of being determines how this energy is directed. The conversion of these energies causes an alchemical reaction that creates a new way of perceiving and experiencing our reality. The "leaden" lower self (body) connects to and serves the higher "golden" self (soul) -  this is the meaning of alchemy.

The Seventh Chakra

Location:   Top of head. Influence: Cerebral cortex, upper skull, skin. Associative Color:      Violet or White or Gold   Central focus:  Connection to spirit, enlightenment, self-realization, fulfillment, faith, individuation, humanitarianism, , selflessness, transcendence, attachment. We work our way up awakening each chakra to arrive at a form of enlightenment in the Crown Chakra. This is not a journey’s end, but a rebirth and beginning that which some describe as “Kundalini Awakening”.  Here in the seventh chakra awareness of our spirit is realized and our connection to a more encompassing spirit outside ourselves. This spiritual connection is not religion. Religion speaks to the tribal mind and is associated with the first chakra. When we awaken to the seventh chakra we are open to cosmic energy that is linked with Divine wisdom and thought. At this level the intellect is abandoned and the experience of a “knowing” is realized as is an establis...

"The only thing that is constant is change."

    The intension of this blog is to share information, contemplate life and to ask questions.  I do not claim to have any answers to these questions I ask. The only answers I have are to my own personal beliefs, which can sometimes change daily based on any given experience .    I s change the initiation for chaos?  Do we seek transformation or does transformation seek us? Transitions, letting go, surrendering to what cannot be controlled. "Everything must stay the same" a mantra that we all live with inside the human condition of the ego. If you think you can escape this, look again. "Yes, I want change to happen, I understand that it needs to happen but please don't let everything turn to chaos." Again I ask, is chaos the initiation to transformation?  Change moves us from one pattern into something new. In this process a pattern must be broken for the new pattern to be created. When something breaks, fragmentation occurs. The law of natu...
