An Alchemical Procession Relevant To Spiritual And Physical Health Most Conveniently Viewed Through The Lense Of Mental Health When a longstanding desire or inner issue such as a topic of anxiety, a longing for possessions, sex, addition to a legal or illegal drug, etc. for things that cause stress or harm to a person, there is a two step alchemical process to aid in returning to a better state of being relative to the situation of stress or harm. The process is to first let all of the part in you to wake and be expressed in an inner monologue. Where the habitude until then is to suppress, deny, or bypass by claiming things (such as "I ddon't like it; I don't need it; etc.) instead, in Phase 1, let yourself privately gush about how much you desire, want, etc the thing. The object is to let the parallel processes of sensation in the body, physical responses, emotions, and all bound-up desire, hope, yearning, taboo and stigmas, to be internally free'd up. This inner expression liberates the inner world and releases tension held in the body. alchemically, tension and withdrawal from the experience of living are related to wood and stone, respectively. The relieving action of giving yourself a moment of carte blanc expression of the untoward, stressful, or harmful addition or desire, et al., through a moment of internal visions and monologue, is the first Alchemical Transmutation we encounter: Wood to Brass & Stone to Iron, respectively. The Brass must be made Gold through Silence. The Iron to Silver by expression through creative activity or work. In brief review we have now seen:          TENSION    WOOD \            BRASS\              GOLD Leadenness <    +     =         Vision & Verbal <        Silence & Creation <             WITHDRAWAL    STONE/            IRON /             SILVER                      1st TRANSMUTATION        2nd TRANSMUTATION     The Wood, Stone, Brass, and Iron are inferior platforms for an upbeat, happy spirit of the Mind as compared to Silver & Gold. The process described permits the physical and mental bodies to re-align in the 1st Transmutation, and the 2nd Transmutation reclaim the connection between their inner and outer bodies, in the connections fulness, fluidity, and suppleness.
