Alchemical Healing
Christine Page, MD |
| |
True healing does
more than just restore a physical state. It's an alchemical
process of transformation, illness being less of a problem
and more often the solution. At least 60% of illness is a
wake up call from the soul, bringing opportunities for
change unlike any other catalyst, if we only can listen to
the wisdom of the body.
As holistic healers, our intention is to bring wholeness to
our clients influencing mind, body and spirit. The aims of
alchemy are the same; to allow an individual to know
themselves fully or as "all-chemistry" converting a base
appreciation of themselves into a golden state of
illumination or enlightenment. For Jung and others, this
tradition included the sacred marriage of opposites where
all aspects of ourselves are lovingly accepted, integrating
them into our being and hence creating a precious and sacred
vessel for the healing process.
Spiritual alchemy requires us to move away from the concept
of merely "fixing" or removing the disease towards a deeper
appreciation of an individual's journey with the
practitioner intuitively listening to the pulse of the
client's soul to bring maximum effectiveness to their
practice with minimal effort.
For this to happen, the aim of the alchemical healer is to: |
| |
● |
Know and
lovingly accept ourselves as fully as possible. |
| |
● |
Intuitively
tune into the innate wisdom of the body. |
| |
● |
Master our own energies and emotions, stepping beyond fear and
shame |
| |
● |
Direct our focus clearly, unlimited by dysfunctional beliefs |
| |
● |
Create a
state of loving presence... |
| |
|
|
...and allow the divine magic to happen |
| Finally, the
healer is the alchemical vessel for the transformation of
the client and hence emphasis is placed on our own ability
to nurture, respect and honor ourselves on all levels
knowing that any therapy is only as good as the quality of
the receiving vessel and remembering that we wouldn't serve
vintage wine in a plastic cup! |
