Alchemy
It's not about metals...
What is the art of alchemy? Going from feeling heavy as lead, to radiant as gold!
It's our relationship to gravity, how do we feel... After sadness, we start to expand again and shine as gold. We contact our radiance that expands as sun rays.
We know we've completed a process of alchemy when we feel radiant as the sun, more than before, stronger. And we feel joy even if our body has remained weaker.
It's recovery.
Then you not only know you are alive, you feel it. It's beyond thoughts. You can go into the sun, feel its warmth and feel that your inner warmth, love and joy are also radiations towards the universe.
We are Somatic beings first and foremost. Why have we forgotten this art of inner alchemy?
Beautifully said!
The transmutation of the leadenness to the golden glow is one that needs a catalyst. It can be external but it only works if it activates our internal processes towards healing. Sometimes folks cling to the lead.
