Your Alchemical Meditations
What are Alchemical Meditations
Alchemical Meditations begin with mostly visualizations and sensory body awareness techniques. Over time they progress to deeper levels of meditations, moving into other states of mind. At the Alchemy Learning Center, we recommend you begin with our Intro to Alchemical Meditations to practice this form of meditation before progressing through the Nine Stages. The progression should not be rushed and can take years! We suggest that you combine the meditations with receiving Alchemical treatment (in person or virtually through telemedicine) with a practitioner. However, you can also work through the meditations on your own. We hope you enjoy our guided meditations. You can use them each time you meditate or use them simply as instructional suggestions for your own exploration into these “meditation exercises.”
FREE - Your First Alchemical Meditations
To begin our Alchemical Journey, let's start with a few basic meditations. As you progress, you will move onto the Stage One of Alchemy Meditations.
Stage One of Alchemy Meditations Class
The goal of Stage One of Alchemy is to create ease in your life so that you can commune with your higher self.

Frequently Asked Questions
“Alchemy can take you on a journey of self-cultivation with the goal of helping you truly fly in your life and live your full potential.”
The Nine Stages of Alchemy is a map created by the ancient Chinese Alchemists. The stages are a set of directions… telling you to go left here, right here, etc. I learned them from Dr. Jeffrey Yuen, an 88th generation Daoist priest, and then practiced them on myself and with others for many years in my clinic.
The Nine Stages as a spiritual evolution roadmap to a destination with specific directions that say… “Turn right here. Turn left here.” It’s not the only way to get to the destination, but it works. It’s a proven way to get there. The ancient Chinese Alchemists put out all the signposts for us, so why not follow those signs instead of create our own? Buddha created his own path. And that’s fine. It’s not easy or everyone would have done it by now. But if Buddha did it, anyone can theoretically do it that way. However, we like the signposts. We like a little linearity. “First do this. Then next do this. Third do this.” These steps can be done in any order theoretically, but in this particular order, everything goes very smoothly. The Stages of Alchemy have changed our lives completely. It’s hard to explain without describing the whole process, but it’s an evolutionary process. It asks you to walk through doors fearlessly—doors that open up new worlds to you, but are difficult to explain or describe to anyone.
Leta Herman and Jaye McElroy, authors of the new book, Through the Mystery Gate, created the Alchemy Learning Center as an educational community space for people to discover the tools for personal Alchemical transformation and growth… and to have a little fun along the way!
The Alchemy Learning Center is dedicated to learning ancient wisdom for modern times with the desire to empower, inform, and motivate people toward the path of living authentically.
We focus on living an authentic and true-to-self life from the understandings of the ancient Chinese Five Elements and the secrets of Internal Alchemy.
We’ve created the Alchemy Learning Center to teach others how we’ve done it and how they can do it too.
Understanding the Five Elements
For Healers and Self-Cultivators
The first step is to look at the Five Elements within yourself!

What if you could simply watch someone walking towards you, and just by how they move, you could immediately know many things about them? It can help you with your family, your friends, your coworkers and especially your clients if you have a healing practice.
Once you understand who you are, you can begin to maximize your true potential in ways you’ve never known before.

Many of us chose the path of the healer with the goal of helping others while striving to find a path we love. However, as with any career, the mundane-ness of the daily routine can set in after the newness is over.
If you know that there’s more potential inside you as a Healer, you have the potential to go deeper into the Mystery of Life both personally and then with clients.
Alchemy is a continual changing and growing journey that eliminates the boredom and the mundane in our lives. If you are seeking more… Practicing Alchemy could be of interest for you.
