A Course in Mastering Alchemy

There’s a statement in an old book that says, “In the beginning was the Word.” Words are the foundation of our lives, and many times we use them unconsciously and without intention. Words, as a vibration, are more fundamentally important to the creation of our lives than the use of words as language. Once you understand this concept, the ability to create your reality with ease and minimal effort becomes much more available. By actually becoming the words we speak and think, we create the foundation to receive and experience the energy vibrations they offer.

Occasionally we all experience vibrations such as depression, anger or frustration. We may even express them verbally. The Law of Attraction, which is flawless, recognizes those words as a vibration and gives us what we hold our attention on. When holding these lower vibrations in the body, we create or maintain lower negative experiences. Only when we hold higher words and vibrations in the body are we are able to have higher positive experiences and creations in life.

Energy is the free-flowing movement of consciousness. When energy is restricted it slows down, densifies and its motion becomes compressed. The vibration of your words and thoughts is what directs, enhances or restricts the flow of energy and consciousness in your life. For example, when you are resentful, judgemental or feel blame or guilt, the free flow of energy becomes compressed – the molecules in your body slow down and movement is restricted. However, when you are happy, enthusiastic and enjoying yourself, there is no restriction – the molecules within your body are stress-free, moving and flowing with ease and wellbeing. Breaking this pattern is achievable but it can be challenging for many due to life-long habits of choosing negative thoughts and words.

Consciously choosing the vibrations, words and emotions you want to experience is possible. Choosing doesn’t mean suppressing or denying how you feel. Grief, anger, sadness and fear are all very real experiences. Observing the feeling, acknowledging it, then choosing something new is key. Ignoring emotions, or slapping a bandage on them, may keep them submerged in the unconsciousness where they could fester, keep you stuck, alter your perceptions or make you sick. What if, in the midst of a negative experience, you could pause and consciously choose a different emotion, attach it to your uncomfortable thought and shift the circumstance to a completely different energy vibration? You could experience ease and wellbeing rather than a reaction-driven response created by an impulsive thought or emotion.

If you deliberately think a different thought then a different feeling or emotion will be available. We are not victims to the energy that moves through us. Many times feelings or emotions happen instantly and unconsciously. They can feel like a wave rushing through the body . . . until you decide to increase your awareness and be the creator of your life, rather than simply accepting what shows up before you.

As you begin to understand the dynamic of what you’re drawing to yourself (the Law of Attraction) and how to apply specifically chosen words (both individually and in combinations), a point of observation or platform presents itself to you. From here you can view and experience your life very differently. Simple? Yes! Easy? Not necessarily, although it isn’t necessarily difficult either.

If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got. So would you like to do something different? What if you could create and align yourself within a vibrational field that allowed you to know yourself as the higher-dimensional, happy, capable, confident person that you truly are? What if you could create a platform of awareness that allowed you to create and experience your life on your terms, magnetically attracting to you your desires. Would you live your life differently?

The Teachers of Light present us with seven specific words. These words are not random but instead are very purposefully and deliberately given. Individually each word creates a vibration that is unique, strong and stable. In combination, the words offer a way of living that is purposeful and focused. Thus they are named the Seven Living Words. These Living Words are the vibrations and feelings that naturally define who you are and who you have always been. These words are the vibrations that you turned away from in order to play the game of the third dimension.

I know you may think that you know the definitions of these seven words. However, when they are intentionally used as a vibrational platform or tool, instead of concepts in a language, their actual meaning becomes fuller and deeper.

There are many more Living Words; however, mastering and becoming these seven vibrations individually opens many doorways along this path.

This is a vibration that many of us have the most difficulty remembering or re-experiencing in the body. This is because we’ve been heavily programmed to focus on what is wrong with us (and the world) and what isn’t working. In Lesson 7 I discussed the thoughts and beliefs that don’t belong to you but are impacting you in uncomfortable ways every day. Those thoughts and beliefs are keeping you from Happy. As you continue clearing out the Centre of Your Head, Happy – and all the other Living Words – will be easier to find and be. If you can’t remember a past time of feeling happy, try an easier word, perhaps satisfied or content, or imagine what that easier word would feel like. Pretend. Begin simply.

You know how to turn the key in the ignition of your car, right? Can you make your car’s engine start? Are you sure? Do you know how to tie your shoelaces? Are you certain? Of course you are. Those are simple examples of what you can certainly do without thought or effort. You don’t even think about tying your shoelaces. Your certainty is so high that you simply do it. What does that certainty feel like in your body? Let your body match that energy.

There are probably other aspects of your life where you don’t hold the same automatic certainty as you hold for tying your shoelaces. By “being” the word Certain in uncomplicated situations and really owning it as you move through your day, you will automatically hold a level of Certain that allows for success when you enter into more challenging situations, such as asking for a pay increase. I am Certain. In what other circumstances are you Certain?

Senior isn’t about being old. Senior is the ability to own who you are. To say, “This is me.” Living the vibration of Seniority is knowing you are the one making the decision or creating the desired result for yourself. You have inner wisdom. You are in charge of your life. You aren’t asking someone else to do it for you.

Many of us give our seniority over to others, allowing them to determine what is best for us, instead of creating for ourselves. Only you know what is best for you. Seniority is an alignment within the body that clearly says, “This is who I am.”

Who do you give your Seniority away to? A spouse, child, boss, institution? By recognizing to whom you give your seniority, you can choose to approach that relationship differently and re-own your seniority. Being in the Centre of Your Head, grounded and using the Rose, allows you to clear the energy of someone and realign yourself in your seniority.

Take a moment here. Do you know someone who walks through life with Seniority? Notice how they present themselves.

All good comes to you when you are Present in the current moment. Present-time is the only place you exist. It’s the only place you can successfully create. Having your attention in the past or future doesn’t allow for creation today. Only in present-time can you choose and create an emotion such as calm, neutrality or ease. Being this Living Word allows you to observe, then choose, then act with wisdom, clarity and choice instead of shooting first, then hoping for the best.

Powerful (as in capable) is having the personal power to create, manage, decide and live as you wish. The vibration of Powerful isn’t about carrying a sword, forcing others or demanding of them. It’s about having the ability to succeed for yourself. Imagine a queen who is able to provide successfully for her subjects using skills such as negotiation, observation and management instead of cohesion, punishment and pushing against others. She may carry a sword but she has no need or desire to use it.

The vibration of Commanding allows you to clearly identify your desire and put in motion what is required to make it happen. Like Powerful, Commanding is always from a place of balanced personal power and doesn’t involve the harm of others. The work you will do later with the Rays of Creation requires wearing the vibration of Commanding to use them successfully. When you Command, you are doing so from a place of Certainty, Presence and Graciousness.

A good question: Why can’t people hear me?

Question: Can you help me understand why people don’t hear me?
In the past few weeks I have noticed that people (some of whom I have known for years) do not hear me in normal conversations. They look at me and say, “Hello?” I have to repeat myself once or twice before what I’ve said registers well enough for them to understand and respond. Then we continue talking until it happens again and we repeat the process. I’m wondering if this has to do with how people respond to people doing this work. Do others experience this and is there anything that can be done about it?

Frederick, Georgia, USA

Answer: Yes, it has to do with this spiritual work you are doing, although it occurs with other teachers and practices as well. We are finding it happening more frequently as the waves of the Shift step up everything on the planet and within us.

This occurrence is actually a wonderful validation that your practice is working. You’re raising your vibration to a level where others may not be able to hear you. Although this can be awkward when you are trying to communicate something important about your business or your social life, please take it as a sign that all your focused practice is successful and take some amusement in the situation. You are beginning to walk through the third dimension as you live in the fourth and fifth dimensions. You are a walking, talking example of what is possible for others, even though they may not recognize it. That is what a true healer-teacher-leader does. Congratulations.

Although your associates (as third-dimensional bodies) are having a hard time hearing you, they (as higher spirits in those bodies) recognize where you are and what is possible for them also to have and accomplish for themselves.

Is there anything that can be done about it? Yes. Smile and pat yourself on the back. What you do not want to do is lower your vibration to match that of the people you are talking to. Doing that might also make you a match to their problems and pain. There is a story about Yeshua that says when he healed others, he did not go to their pain and roll around in it with them (sympathy, empathy). He continued to stay where he was vibrationally, and with compassion, inviting them to come and sit at the table with him.

You may still need to get a message across quickly and efficiently. This is where you get to practise your mastery and your tools. Here are some suggestions that might help:

• Take the time to set the energy before a conversation: find your space and choose the Living Word(s) you want to radiate. (This may take only about 30 seconds.) Be sure to add a word that will allow good communication. Make it up. The word vibration will be unique to you. You might try “hello” or “co-create” or “ease”.

• Begin actively to “read” the energy and direct it. A trick would be to ask yourself, “What colour is the crown chakra of that person vibrating at?” and then allow the first colour that pops into your head to be the answer, without arguing with it. Make your crown chakra a brighter version of that colour (for example, baby blue becomes electric blue). You may have to do this before you step into the conversation (instead of when you’re in it) because it’s sometimes hard to remember our tools when we are in the middle of something.

• Talk to other people as a spirit, not as a body. As a spirit they will “get” what you are saying. As a body they are slower and duller. Send them hellos (For example, “Hello, I see how great you are.”) before you meet, and direct those hellos to their hearts or their head areas. When you are in the actual conversation, have the intention and focus that you are talking to them as a spirit.

• Make sure you’re grounded and in your body (Higher Mind or Centre of Your Head) when you’re talking to them.

• Pay attention to the subject matter you’re discussing when other people can’t hear you, and also pay attention to how you are feeling at the time. You may find an interesting pattern within yourself that you can tweak a bit.

This Living Word stands alone yet colours all the others simultaneously. Gracious is demonstrated best in the presence of others and in combination with other Living Words. It is from the energy of Gracious that you are able effectively to be that Powerful, Capable and Commanding queen. Imagine a father teaching his daughter how to swing a bat. He Graciously encourages and doesn’t mention the mistakes as a problem. You might remember someone you know (or a fictional character) who radiates Graciousness.

As with all the tools the Elders present on this journey, owning and becoming these words may sound simple but it’s not necessarily easy. This is due to generations of programming, beliefs and patterns that keep you small and controlled. Practising and “being” these words every day will break that pattern of limitation and create a new platform of success and ease.

This short exercise will help you experience and anchor the vibrations that these words possess. It will also show you how they can profoundly demonstrate themselves in your space. This example uses the word Happy but the process is identical for each of the Seven Living Words.

1. Be in the Centre of Your Head, take a breath and close your eyes. Take as much time as necessary to find that quiet, neutral, focused and open place before you begin.

2. Remember a time in your past when you had a happy experience. (If this word is too difficult to grab, choose a similar one that may be easier. Over a few days, work your way up to Happy.)

3. Take a moment and put yourself clearly in that past happy moment – see the flower, hear the child laughing, appreciate the joke you were told, accept the compliment that someone gave you. Allow yourself to be fully in that experience. Remember the memory, feel the feeling in your body. Be that word: Happy. Take your time. Get happiness all over you. Roll around in it. Really feel it, hear it and taste it fully.

4. As you allow yourself to be this energy vibration completely, notice how much bigger the smile on your face gets. Laughing is acceptable here. Fe-e-e-e-l the happiness in your body.

5. Return your attention to remembering that happy experience and feel the feeling all over again. Notice what you notice. Where does that feeling live in your body? What colour is it? Does it have a shape? Just make it up. Pretend to be Happy. Let your body physically adjust. It may want to sit up. And breathe.

6. Feel the feeling, and now allow the thought and memory of the original experience to fade from your awareness while you continue to feel the feeling in your body. Notice that the happiness you are feeling right now is a present-time feeling. It’s not an in the past-time feeling and memory.

7. Feelings are experienced in the present moment and can only be experienced in the present moment. Although you were recalling a memory experienced in a past moment that included the feeling of Happy, Happy as a feeling (or any other feeling you place your attention upon) can only be experienced in a present-time moment.

Playing daily and really owning each of these words individually is the beginning of your ascension. You are creating a platform that will allow you to observe the third dimension as it simply dissolves and reshapes itself into the fifth dimension. Drama and noise will fall away.

The fifth dimension is structured in frequencies that promote and hold tremendous alignment and wellbeing. When you are aligned with this flow your access to All That Is becomes unlimited. The more harmonic resonance and alignment there is, the simpler it is to create. From a third-dimensional perspective, the simplest way to align with these fifth-dimensional frequencies is by becoming and demonstrating the vibration, or feeling, of selected words while maintaining your point of observation. This will allow you to shift your relationship to the world around you from one of reaction to one where you can choose how you wish to create and manage your experience.

The words you hold, consciously or unconsciously, collectively create a vibrational tone that is unique to you. You become known by your tone. For example, she is sad and unpleasant to be around; or he is always angry and upset. As you become aligned with the higher-dimensional Living Words, you begin to hold a tone that is recognizable in those higher dimensions. Your tone is aligned with who you came here to be– she looks so present and happy; he’s always so certain and gracious. It’s at this level that you not only start to become aware of being aware, but also become a conscious citizen of the fifth dimension.

Over the coming months and years, events will occur in your world that will hone and refine you, offering you the opportunity to become more specific, precise, clear and masterful. You will be able to more easily and naturally vibrate in frequencies that demonstrate who you came here to be. To get there from where you may be right now requires focused attention on your intention, as well as practice wearing the Living Words until they are well anchored, effortless and simply who you are. By holding your attention on the Living Words and deeply becoming them, your physical and emotional bodies match that energy and outwardly demonstrate this to the external world. Far more important, however, the Law of Attraction sees you holding those vibrations and acts to give back to you exactly what you hold your attention upon: Happiness, Certainty and Grace.

Success story

I’ve always had this fear of public speaking, even if in a group of only two others. Well, I received an unasked-for promotion into a management position of an accounting team of 12 people. I began A Course in Mastering Alchemy Level 1 only a month ago and have been playing with the Living Words. I had to lead my first department meeting and decided this would be a time to see if the tools work or not. So before the meeting I sat in my office with the door closed, grounded myself, got into my Octahedron and created a word triangle of Certain, Capable and Clear. I also grounded the room and set the energy of the meeting at Fun. I just made it all up and took my attention off this when the meeting began.

During the meeting I checked in with myself and realized I wasn’t nervous, sweating or shaking (a first for me). And after the meeting one of the senior accountants (a man) took me aside to say that it was the most productive and fun meeting ever. He actually used the word fun!

I was floored and surprised (but not really). I guess the tools really work.

Throughout this course the geometry of the triangle appears as a valuable construction for stability and balance. In this case combining words in the form of an equilateral triangle increases their effectiveness exponentially. As you experience the following exercise, notice how the platform feels in your body.

1. Be in the Centre of Your Head or your Higher Mind, take a breath and close your eyes. Take as much time as necessary to find that quiet, neutral, focused and open place before you begin.

3. Be in present-time. Feel the sensation of being Certain. Place the word Certain on one side of the triangle. Let your body adjust as you wear the vibration of Certain. Remember a time when you were Certain with no push or force. It is simply who you are. Take a few moments to establish this feeling and own it. Be Certain.

4. Now move your attention to the feeling and experience of Powerful. Really feel your personal Power as an individual word.

5. Add the word Powerful to another side of the triangle. Notice how the vibrations of the words on the platform you’re creating alter when the words are combined. Simply allow the feeling of the two Living Words – Certain and Powerful – to fill you up. There’s nothing to do, no place to go. There is nothing to fix because nothing is broken. Let your physicality adjust to match this combination.

6. Once you’re very familiar with the combination Certain and Powerful, shift your attention to the word Gracious and completely be Gracious as an individual vibration.

7. Now add the word Gracious to the final side of the triangle before you. Explore the new vibrational platform of Certain, Powerful and Gracious. Relax and be curious. Allow and enjoy the changed energy. Notice how this combination of words feels different than the individual words.

8. You have created a solid triangular platform upon which to stand. Own this for yourself. This is who you are.

If you find it difficult to hold these particular words, try combinations of three words that are more familiar and easier to reach. Begin with Orderly, Appreciative and Calm or Amused, Quiet and Precise, for example.

As you start to own and internalize this powerful platform, you may notice specific things:

• The words and their vibrations become anchored in your energy field. In addition to changing how others see you, the words also change how you respond and relate to others. Consciously wearing these higher-vibrational words begins to neutralize the vibrational tones that you have created unconsciously, out of habit. Like the Rose tool, these words vibrate at a higher, faster level. They are aligned with the highest energy that you are – an energy that quiets, smooths and releases all things unlike itself. When you radiate the energy of the higher-dimensional words, words that are lesser fall away. Ugly vibrations such as victim, lack, fear and “I’m not okay” can no longer maintain themselves in your presence.

• Your ability to manage your attention point improves. You will find yourself much more able to manage your attention and to observe all that is going on around you without being distracted and pulled away from your centre. You will discover that every experience you have is quite different from your previous experiences. Instead of being knocked out of your space by things that are outside of you, you can simply choose to allow all insults, distractions, drama and noise to pass you by. All you have to do is “be” the word, or triangle of words, that would most effortlessly uplift the situation that you are encountering. For example, you could ask yourself, “What platform of words do I want to wear or vibrate at when I step into this meeting?” or “ What three vibrations do I want to present myself in today?” or “What single word would I like to choose to replace this ugly feeling?” Begin simply. Don’t choose words such as Love or Peace. Those words are too complicated, and too far away from where you might be vibrating right now. The key is to make this real and very easy to accomplish.

• You begin to activate aspects of your Living Light Body. Within the memory banks of your Soul, there is a blueprint of your Living Light Body. This is the body of Light that you own and experience simultaneously in the higher dimensions. This is the vehicle that you use to move between universes and through all of consciousness. Every time you wear one of the higher-dimensional words, a receptor within your Living Light Body reactivates. As each receptor turns back on, that word becomes fully anchored in your life. From that moment forward, you automatically demonstrate yourself as this energy. As your Living Light Body begins to be reactivated, your physicality becomes less dense – Light-er. You remember more of who you are as a higher-dimensional being. Your Living Light Body demonstrates a harmonic resonance with Creator and you demonstrate more fully the unique spark of Creator that you are, but have forgotten.

Creating your own set of Living Words, and learning to feel their vibrations, rather than think their definitions, is one of the most important things you can do during this incredible time of global shift. Standing upon this vibrational platform, and adjusting it according to whatever situation lies before you, will enable you to create the reality that you desire. This is not complicated; it is a reconfiguration from the third-dimensional way of life to a higher, clearer way of being. It can become a conscious moment-to-moment choice. This is a way of life that is Happy, Certain, Senior, Present, Capable, Commanding and Gracious.

Below is a short list of wonderful words that you may want to incorporate into the foundation of your Living Light Body.

1. Be in the Centre of Your Head or your Higher Mind, take a breath and close your eyes. Take as much time as necessary to find that quiet, neutral, focused and open place before you begin.

2. Choose one word from the list above. Fully “be” it. Place the word on one side of an equilateral triangle.

3. Choose another word from the list. Fully “be” the word. Place the word on another side of the triangle.

4. Then choose a third word from the list. Fully “be” the word. Place it on the final side of the triangle. Think of this combination of words as a triangular platform upon which to build this new foundation. Feel the words as you become them.

Success story

After the last session I decided to play with what it would feel like to experience the energy words of Validation and Appreciation. I’ve been in a job where others have considered me “different”, and just haven’t felt as though I fit in.

Well, things have started to change. I was recently identified as one of 19 people in the organization (there are over 400) who are leaders in their field and bring an encouraging, supportive and positive presence to the organization. I had to read the email over and over before I could believe they were addressing me. My thought was, “I’m just an appointment scheduler. They can’t be talking about me.” Me? A leader?

Well, they were identifying me as such. So I am now a member of the Patient Experience Team. Our goal is to bring about a new world order, so to speak, within our group so that patients experience the best customer service and patient care available. What’s funny is that many others in the company have reacted to my recognition with “who does she think she is” energy-throwing. In the past I would have agreed with them and resigned from the team. But since playing with the Living Words, I see that I really deserve this. I am Competent, Capable, Certain, Commanding, Gracious, Senior, Present . . . and yes . . . Happy! Who would have thought? Certainly not me a few months ago.

1. First create a list of your own words. Choose words that make you feel good. Select words that you would like to be known by in your world. For example, insightful, kind, respectful, purposeful, gracious, grateful, honest, dignified, caring or helpful. Make it a long list, choosing words that will help you remember your self. Doing so will assist you in consciously and deliberately creating choices.

2. Next choose seven of those words that make you feel especially good. Choose words that you aspire to experience or would like to be.

3. Each day for a week, take one of these seven words and “be” that word. Demonstrate this word in every situation and notice how it makes you feel. You will notice that when you become intentional about being the word, you feel more alert and aware, more present in the now moment. You will feel and be in charge of yourself on your own terms. If you find you have slipped out of the word, simply smile and become the word once again. Have fun!
