I was asked a question about the podcast many moons ago, and I’m finally getting around to answering it!
The question was, “What is alchemy?” (Fair enough, since the podcast is called “Aligned Alchemy,” after all.)
Alchemy is one of those words that is bandied around in spiritual circles, like “alignment,” “transmutation,” transcendence,” etc. Spiritual alchemy is basically the same thing the alchemists of old did, transforming their lead into gold, but now we're alchemizing our spiritual experience; our life experience.
Think of someone in your life who went through a really difficult, life-altering situation. Someone that you greatly admire because of who they've become today due to that experience. They took something dreadful that you would never wish on anyone and they're now showing others how to alchemize that darkness and come out into the light.
So that, to me, is what alchemy is. It's taking the most difficult, the most painful, the darkest parts of yourself and your life, and turning them into gold. And we're not talking science labs here. We're talking about your LIFE.
