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!
