Creating Inner Alchemy
by Isabella Stoloff
Shaman, Speaker, Spiritual guide
What if you could create your own inner alchemy, one where you could have whatever you wanted, a science all your own? A way for you to take control over your life and stop letting things “happen” to you. What if your inner alchemy could prevent you from disease, pain, and suffering? It is possible, you know. You are all magical beings filled with light. It is time to remember who you are and learn techniques to guide and assist you. One thing we know for sure is the old ways are no longer working. It is time to create a new story for our lives, a story of love.
So many of us feel controlled or limited by one thing or another. The boss, the bills, our health, work, parents, school—the responsibilities are endless. Our energy bodies are in constant struggle to be free.
Every body has memory. It remembers everything. Anything that has ever happened to you sticks to your body and creates an imprint, or a memory. This imprint can manifest in a number of ways. Most of all, it clogs your field. Negative thoughts can clog your field as well. The trick is shifting our perceptions quickly so we can have the life we desire today and not stay stuck in the old wounds and imprints.
One way is to begin creating an inner alchemy. You can easily do this by mixing ingredients together in your mind’s eye. What if you took words like gratitude and love, and stirred them up in your imagination with joy and abundance, then sprinkled it with golden light? Try it and see what happens. Now, take that creation of yours and spread it over your entire body, as well as your energy body. Re-imprint your field. Feel perfection at the deepest level. Know that you are divinely guided and absolutely protected at all times. Feel your inner alchemy and let it permeate every cell of your being. You have just created your own inner alchemy. The more you do this exercise, the better you will feel and the more imprints you will release off your energy body. The more imprints you release off your energy body, the more Ayni you can create in your life.
Ayni is a Peruvian word meaning “reciprocity” or “right relationship.” Ayni Despachos are pure alchemy. Despachos are Peruvian prayer bundles that help you to remember the ancient ways of honoring the earth with prayer and meditation so you can manifest and create change at the deepest level. When building a Despacho, we set an intention and pray to all the elements—the mountains for teaching us their wisdom, the waters for helping us to flow, and the universe for keeping us connected to ourselves and each other. Despachos are not only beautiful offerings to the gods, but are also beautiful offerings to your own spirit. They are much like a dream-vision board only created with food and wrapping paper. Ingredients such as sugar, candy, nuts, seeds, and flowers lend themselves to this creation of love. They can connect you to the deepest part of yourself and plant new ideas into your soul. Using these ingredients, you create a Peruvian bundle of prayers to be burned in a fire and released to the universe.
Take the concept of Ayni into your everyday life. Be in right relationship with yourself and the rest will follow. Stay connected to source energy, and in tune with the divine light that you are. Become grateful at the core of your being.
One way to connect to the light is to do the following brief meditation daily: Feel gratitude expand all around you. Visualize this gratitude going out the top of your head and connecting to your higher self, and deepen that connection with your breath and intention. Now, staying connected to your higher self and the feeling of gratitude, bring the light of the stars down through the top of your head, feel it trickling down through your body. Let it release all that no longer serves you out the bottom half of your body and connect to the earth’s core crystal light. Take that light and love from the earth’s core crystal and shoot it up though your body and into the stars. Do this three times. This technique deepens your awareness of your own inner light and is a type of energy flush you can do at any time.
I know we have heard this a thousand times, but it bears repeating. Our words + our thoughts + our feelings = our reality. So, what are you creating?
Play with words and ideas that make you feel good. Every day make a conscious effort to shift out of the old ways of thinking and find the light within. Use your light, your inner joy, to manifest whatever it is you desire. Pay no attention to what is not working; only focus on what is. By using these techniques, you will create empowerment and feel inner alchemy in your mind, body, and soul. By creating inner alchemy, you will stay connected to source energy and stay in tune with the divine light that you are!
