What is Alchemy?

Alchemy can mean many things to many different people. But the Chinese Daoist masters believed that people are like gold—that their spirits can never tarnish and disintegrate like other base metals, such as silver. Even though most people believe we all will eventually grow old, decrepit, and die, these Chinese masters believed humans could become physically immortal! Alchemy is a road that not everyone wants to travel. But many of us do want to transform and embrace our full potential in life. To understand whether Alchemy is right for you, you can take some time to examine what you want in your life. Alchemy is good to consider when you can answer yes to any of these questions:

Do you want to enter the mystery of life?
Even though your life might be going really well, do you still feel like there has to be something more to life?
Do you want to really fly in your life and realize your full potential?
Do you want to put yourself first in your life but life feels like it’s getting in the way?
Are you grappling with a severe illness or nearing the end of life and feeling like life is incomplete?

The Alchemical Stages take you on a journey of self-discovery, a transformative process, opening your portals to see and experience the world differently, so that you don’t need to die and be reborn to experience the innocence of a child.

What are the Alchemical Stages?

Stages 1-3: Clear out the baggage of this lifetime and anything you brought into this life (genetics, past-lives, etc.) Release rebellious qi so that you can stop fighting for your heart’s desire and start allowing it to be easy.
Stages 4-6: Change your perceptions so you can fly in your life. Metaphorically, flying is about really living your full potential. The Immortals were purported to actually fly from mountain to mountain in China.
Stages 7-9: Retreat from the world. Overcome time and space. These stages are for those who are ready to remove themselves from everyday life.

The Alchemical Stages do not have time-based schedules. It is simply entering into the mystery and walking that road. It could take months, a year, or lifetimes. We are in dialogue about where you are in the process. And the process is simply a map of a path that was created by Chinese masters long ago. It may be a path you follow exactly, or you may create your own path.

It all starts with YOU first...

It’s time to take your Five Element wisdom to a new level by embracing the Alchemical approach to utilizing Five Element Chinese Medicine in your practice and your life! With Alchemical Chinese Medicine, we cultivate our own authenticity with the idea that we can surpass the limitations of our own Five Element energetic type. Discovering WHO YOU ARE is just the first step, and not the end game. Once you understand your true authentic nature, you can also learn how to move beyond your energetic pitfalls, repeating habits, and past traumas so you can “defy gravity” – to truly fly in your life. What would living your full potential really look like? Let’s explore this together in our Five Element Study Group.

Learn more about yourself, no matter your age!
Find a deeper sense of fulfillment and happiness through self-acceptance and self-awareness?
Heal relationship dynamics through energetic awareness
Develop skills to communicate in ways that others can more readily understand
Learn an innovative approach to the Five Elements not based on Color, Sound, Odor and Emotion but on understanding a “stack-up” of Elements and how you MOVE through the world
Discover the ancient wisdom of the Five Element energies in the world all around you and learn how to apply them effectively for a better life!
Our approach is effective… We take the theories of the Five Elements and apply it to everyday life so you can step out on this path boldly and confidently.
We are flexible and patient. We trust that everyone comes to this work from their own true nature, which we affirm in every way possible. We are just the guides – it is your journey to take.

Alchemical Meditations (Stages One to Three)

To begin your Alchemical Journey, you can start with this package of FREE guided meditations, including the basic Relax Your Body, Clear Your Mind, Open Your Doors meditation, the Letting Go Meditation, the Releasing Rebellious Qi Meditation and the Who Am I meditation and many more!

These meditations are unique because they take you on an ancient Alchemical journey of self-cultivation that follows the Daoist Alchemy path of the Nine Stages of Alchemy.

The Nine Stages of Alchemy are a set of linear directions developed by the ancient Chinese Alchemists. The stages are a set of directions… telling you to go left here, right here, etc. We learned them from Dr. Jeffrey Yuen, an 88th generation Daoist priest, and then practiced them on ourselves and with others for many years in our clinic.

We like to think of 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.

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.

Dao Yin Exercises

Seven Circles ∙ Qi Gong ∙ Kundalini Yoga

We made these videos to help people start their day. It’s easy and yet a very powerful way to move the Qi. If you’ve taken our classes before, you know we love to do Seven Circles to start the day. If you’re new to Tai Chi or Qi Gong or a seasoned veteran of martial arts, we hope that you enjoy this simple guided Qi Gong class.

The Seven Circles are what we do to warm up for Tai Chi or Qi Gong. It’s an amazing way to keep all your joints limber and supple.

These basic Dao Yin Exercises are influenced by Sun style Tai Chi.
