Consciousness Alchemy

-
Consciousness Alchemy encompasses all tools that can be used to transform thought patterns, behaviors, and emotions. The idea first came to me when meditating. The words, "I am a consciousness alchemist," rang through my head with powerful force. In the days that followed I found that I resonated more with being a consciousness alchemist more than any other title I'd assigned myself.
Author, speaker, logo designer, graphic artistic, board game creator, raw chef, and so on – all of these things I have called myself were all different ways of me working my true craft as the Consciousness Alchemist. Books that change lives, talks that inspire, artwork that gives joy, games that provoke meaningful conversations, cuisine that creates health – all of my crafts are different ways of playing the game of consciousness alchemy.
What does consciousness alchemy include?
  • Speaking from the heart
  • Pranayama (breathing techniques)
  • Meditation of the senses
  • Perspective Alchemy (or Alchemy for short)
  • Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
  • Hypnotic regression
  • Ecstatic Dance, Dancing Freedom, Chakra Dancing, etc
  • Trance meditation
  • Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong
  • Vision board creation
  • Writing letters to God(s)
  • Practicing lucid dreaming
  • Tension & Trauma Release Exercises (TRE)
  • Voice Dialogue
In short, consciousness alchemy includes any practice which expands the way you perceive yourself, your relationships and your universe.
A great book can perform consciousness alchemy on the reader by taking the things you knew and causing you to shift your paradigm, to look through new eyes at old concepts.
Consciousness Alchemy is most powerful through exploring the subconscious. One set of tools for subconscious exploration is called shadow work. My favorite explanation of shadow work is this video by Teal Swan.
Not all avenues of exploring consciousness are equal. Different tools create vastly different results. Co-counseling, or reevaluation counseling, for example, is great at accomplishing the human need to feel heard. This, alone, can be incredibly transformative. However, much more dramatic behavioral changes come out of techniques like hypnosis, neuro linguistic programming and Perspective Alchemy.
Ecstatic dance and similar practices are powerful tools to allow emotions and body to unify into one flowing, melding experience. This is a good prelude to accessing emotions that have been stored within the body as diseases.
Trance meditation is one way to receive intuitive guidance and access messages your subconscious has been trying to give you.
The more techniques you practice, the more your mind evolves.
I employ a process of coaching which is client-led, which I believe is crucial to healthy exploration of your mind. This shift from "therapist knows best" to "your subconscious knows best" makes worlds of difference in creating lasting, positive change.

Vibe Logging: The Value in Tracking Emotions Through Time

-
Image
  For many years I tracked how I spent every minute of my time – and I learned fun facts about myself – over the course of three years of data my average time spent reading fictional novels per day was forty-four minutes. But eventually I stopped logging my time; I’d learned it added roughly twenty minutes to my shower to wash my hair, and that I didn’t feel happy with my relationship when we spent under two hours of quality time together per day. The experiment was a success, but the returns were diminishing. Then, seven years after the original time-logging project began, I had a new inspiration: vibe logging. The premise was that each day had a “vibe” to it – wistful, industrious, melancholy, frustrated, introspective – and that by keeping track of these vibes I’d learn something about how my mood shifted over the course of days, weeks, months, and – maybe, if I was ambitious enough – years. I’ve been “vibe logging” for four years now, and I can say this project has been an astonish

Can a raw vegan avoid nuts? If I have a nut allergy, can I eat a raw food diet?

-

The short answer is, "Yes!" In fact, I encourage all raw vegans to eat very few to no nuts. Eating too many nuts can actually be very toxic and cause nut allergies. There are a number of things to be wary of with shelled nuts. Shelled nuts are... easy to over-eat high calorie and high fat prone to mold, which leaves behind toxins, particularly aflatoxin sometimes labelled raw, yet not actually raw often moldy without showing signs of being rancid visually stored for long periods of time and oxidized not very nutritious to begin with Several of my books limit or do not include nuts. This is because most raw recipe books have nuts in nearly every recipe. In fact, I've bought a recipe book that called for a whole cup of nuts in the majority of the recipes. Generally cashews, which you will not find raw at the grocery store. “Raw Cashews” at your local market only means “not roasted.” Cashews are boiled out of their shell. Th
