The 7 Stages of Spiritual Alchemy

-

 Hey Pumpkins, we are back with more knowledge. Many of you may have heard of the book 'The Alchemist', if you have not then I highly recommend it. There are 2 types of Alchemy, chemical and spiritual. We, of course, will be talking about Spiritual Alchemy. 

The 7 Stages of Spiritual Alchemy:


1. Calcination 
2. Dissolution
3. Separation
4. Conjunction
5. Fermentation 
6. Distillation 
7. Coagulation

Alchemy is a medieval chemical science. An old age natural philosophy. Alchemists studied ways to transform one substance into another. Alongside this, they looked for ways that this transformation could correspond to astrology and magick.

Spiritual Alchemy is the unfleshly version. This is the transformation of your inner self.  

Today we will cover the first 3 stages of Spiritual Alchemy: Calcination; Dissolution; and Separation. 

1. Calcination - Burning to Ashes 

Calcination, the first stage of Spiritual Alchemy, is also called the Black Stage. The Calcination stage is the process of cutting our attachments to the world. It is the process of finding our true identity without the world telling us who to be. Hence it's attached to the color black. Black is seen as a representation of revealing and unburying. 

Here we are not saying that having attachments is bad, not at all. We are simply saying that in order to complete this process we need to get rid of attachments that will hinder the process. The purpose is to strengthen our vibrations and find a higher consciousness.

2. Dissolution - Dissolving the Ashes


Dissolution is the process of freeing ourselves from our false identity.  Chemically, it is the process of dissolving in water, relating to this, water can be a symbol of intense or strong emotion. Here we are releasing emotions that we have pushed down, finding an outlet, and freeing our psyche. Freeing ourselves from the past.

3. Separation - Extracting the Essence

 This stage has the element of air, spiritually. This process involves separating ourselves from bad habits and emotional triggers. Separating ourselves from negative emotions and toxicity. The journey of this process allows us to let go of ourselves, the "us" that is untrue and a false character. It allows us to discover our true selves and better identify our feelings, thoughts, and wants in life. 

In the separation stage, we aim to release ourselves of our old selves and allow ourselves relief. 

We will stop there for today, Pumpkins. I hope this is helpful to you. I know it can be a lot to take in and making change is not easy but I fully believe in each and every one of you 💖 Part 2 will be coming soon so watch this space.

Blessed be

Hey Pumpkins! Let's get straight into part 2 of Sacred Geometry. If you have not read part one, feel free to go take a look here . 6. The Seed of Life  7 circles, 7 days of creating the universe (supposedly). The 7 merged circles reflect a connection to the universe. This pattern is seen to symbolize creation and how everything in creation is connected. Life and spirit joined as one. For many years this symbol has been seen as a sign of protection and blessings.  7. The Spiral The symbol is very common throughout the natural world. Often seen in shells, plants, galaxies, the tails of animals, etc. Connecting with this, it is a powerful sign of the natural world and development. Concerning spiritualism, this pattern can be seen as the core of your consciousness, a symbol of change, and the continuity of time. It is also seen as the connection of your chakras, joining your inner self with your higher self.   8. The Golden Ratio The Golden Ratio comes from the Greek letter Phi, whilst

 Hey, Pumpkins! Hope everyone is doing well and not too tired, but if you are tired, this may be for you. Lucid dreaming. What is lucid dreaming? Sometimes when we are sleeping, we are aware of our dreams. Some may feel real and some we feel as though we are simply watching. Our brain knows that the dream is not really happening but it feels real and clear.  Investigating sleep There are various different stages of sleep. Lucid dreaming generally occurs during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, this is the deepest stage of sleep. There are 4 sleep stages, 1 being the lightest and 4 being the deepest. Stage 1 tends to last about 10 minutes, this is an NREM sleep, nonrapid eye movement. Stage 2 is approximately 15-25 minutes, this is also an NREM sleep. Stage 3, also NREM, lasts about 30-40 minutes. Stage 4, the deepest stage of sleep, can be 10-60 minutes, this is when REM occurs.
