alchemy

1: a medieval chemical science and speculative philosophy aiming to achieve the transmutation of the base metals into gold, the discovery of a universal cure for disease, and the discovery of a means of indefinitely prolonging life

2: a power or process that changes or transforms something in a mysterious or impressive way

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines alchemy as “a medieval chemical science”, but in truth that’s only when the practice of alchemy resurfaced into popularity. It is in fact much, much older.

Dating back to the times of antiquity, of ancient Egypt and Greece (and before), to the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, and the secret mystery schools of Goddess sects, healers, and holy temples, alchemy has been around for a long-ass time.

Perhaps even before the beginning of time…

What is Alchemy?

Alchemy is more than a chemical science: it is also a philosophy. It is a belief that through the workings of consciousness one can transcend from base human experience to that of divine illumination.

There are 7 stages in alchemy which one can apply either physically (chemical) or metaphorically (spiritual) to result in transmutation or transformation:

Calcinatio: To heat matter to a high temperature, without fusing, in order to drive off base matter or effect change – burning the prima matter to ashes.
Solutio: Mixing with a liquid (or sometimes a gas or another solid) to form a homogenous solution. Ashes dissolved into water.
Separatio: The process of separation or division. Filtering the dissolution.
Conjunctio: Combination of the desired elements, from the filtered, into a new substance.
Mortificatio: Further elements are introduced to the newly formed substance to encourage further decay, fermentation, or die-off. Testing the new substance.
Sublimatio: Distillation to improve or refine the substance – purification.
Coagulatio: The process of becoming viscous or thickened into a coherent mass. The substance is crystallized into a solid, or refined, whole.

What is Crystal Alchemy?

The art of Crystal Alchemy is working with crystals to effect conscious, spiritual transformation through the energetic transmutation of light codes, in accordance with the seven stages of traditional alchemy.

🤯

Let me break it down for you:

The stones teach that everything in the Universe is encoded in light. All life, information, bodies, communication, data, blueprints, and levels or states of consciousness are stored and delivered through photons of light.

We know from physics that all existence, all life, all matter is formed at a subatomic level by energy or light packed at varying densities, vibrating at different frequencies.

(stay with me here…)

This means that all memory, thoughts, feelings, desires, illnesses, diseases, ideas, legacies, events, inventions, trauma patterns, inherited behaviors or beliefs, experiences from this life and the past, and fixed future events are encoded in light.

Yeah, darkness and dark spirits are encoded in light, too.

As humans we carry these light codes, passed down from our ancestors, carrying memories and karma from past lives, and imprinted with childhood experiences, in our DNA.

Now, imagine being able to ACCESS, ACTIVATE, EDIT, or CHANGE those codes!

THAT’S Crystal Alchemy, that’s what alchemical work with crystals achieves: transmuting the light codes that are stored in our DNA, that we carry with us into this lifetime, in order to effect powerful spiritual healing and transformation.

Now hang on, here, this doesn’t mean we can just play God at whim, grow a third arm, or make false promises of miracle healings - let me explain a little more…

First, Transmutation vs. Transformation

Transmutation means conversion (ie: turning base metals into gold). We’re taking one element, and through natural or artificial means, we’re converting or altering it so that it becomes different.

Transformation means to change entirely in composition or structure, to change the outward form or appearance, or to change the character or condition, of an element..

In Crystal Alchemy we’re working with crystal energy to transmute (convert) dark, negative, or lower frequency light codes into higher frequency, more positive light codes, in order to effect change in our character and in the condition of our lives.

It is a highly strategic, light-based, spiritual practice of healing that can literally happen at the speed of thought, and last through lifetimes.

But, How is this Different from Regular Crystal Healing?

What makes the Crystal Alchemy I teach so very different from other forms of crystal healing is that we’re not just doing this by channeling crystal frequencies into the codes: that in and of itself doesn’t prove to be very effective.

Why? Because the only thing that can alter or even generate new codes is the thing that created them in the first place: Consciousness. A Higher Power or Guiding Spiritual Force.

In order for us to transmute light codes, to help effect powerful transformation for someone, we must also work with a Higher Consciousness – a Higher Consciousness that the stones themselves help us to channel.

Spirit is the secret ingredient, the special sauce, that supports and enables us to do this work in a way that is in alignment with someone’s highest good, path, or purpose.

Like the stones, WE become conduits for Source energy in the work, and it’s OUR magical ability to do this that changes the game.

The crystals become our allies and keys. We become the vessel. And the healing potential that creates for someone is PHENOMENAL.

This is the Future of Crystal Healing, Steeped in Wisdom from the Past

We are evolving, and our world is changing at a terrifyingly exponential rate. Our healing practices + methods have to evolve to keep up.

Three years ago I channeled this message from the stones:

“The Earth needs its light walkers: Its healers, teachers, and guides, who are willing to transcend their daily being-ness and help bring us to the next realms and access points of consciousness…

The crystals are the keys: They emit and refract light. They channel + receive the codes. They can open portals, bridge communication with other beings, and shine the path through the darkness.

So begins this journey… Light is the final frontier.”

It’s time to start pushing the boundaries of what we think is possible with crystal energy healing.

It’s time to start pushing the boundaries of what we feel we’re capable of achieving.

I’ll leave you with this to contemplate: Who would you be if the limitations you believed in didn’t exist? What would change? What would your life look like? How would you feel?

👉🏼 As you contemplate these questions, hold clear quartz or selenite in your hand (two key activators). Let their energy flow in as yours expands. Invite in their spirits. Open to their whispers. Notice if you feel slightly changed or different afterwards…

You were meant for more than a mediocre life, after all.
