Sacred Practice and Alchemical Life Engagement

Alchemical Life Coaching is for anyone who wants to unleash, cultivate and expand their capacity to be a source of inexhaustible benefit to the world while becoming ever more unreasonably happy

I can assist you in becoming the change by assisting you to

The Alchemical Approach that I use is a Heart Centered Visionary Approach that is centered on the sacred

Connecting with the Sacred and integrating it with every aspect of life

If your searching for greater meaning and fulfillment in your life, then I can guarantee you that the answer lies in you connection to the Sacred Dimension of Life. Many refer to this dimension as Spirituality, however the word has layers of meaning that can lie outside of what I am referring to as the Sacred. Spirituality implies dimensions of reality other then the physical, but these nonphysical dimensions of life are not automatically Sacred nor is believing in an specific nonphysical dimension a pre requisite for deepening ones experience of and connection to the Sacred. The Sacred is the radiance of the Ultimate Truth of Reality shining through our relative experience and it emerges into our experience by how we relate to our life and to living, Our experience of the Sacred grows as we shift our orientation and attention in particular ways, many of which are difficult to describe but readily experienced. Supreme among these ways is commiting to the core intention.

Many Modern Personal Growth Systems speak of the Sacred (but calling it Spirtuality) as one of several life arena or pillars that you must balance in order to have a fulfilling lives, and I agree that being sure to include some “spirituality” is better than ignoring it all together. However, there is a limit to how much fulfillment such an approach will deliver. If you want a life of Bliss beyond description then the cultivation of your experience of the Sacred must become the foundation of your life, the foundation stone of the other pillars and the core that runs through them. When you make cultivating your experience of, connection to, and relationship with the Sacred, the first priority and and Bottom Line of your life, your life has inexpressible meaning and will without fail lead to unimaginable fulfillment.

When I speak of making the Sacred the Bottom Line of your life, I am not talking about external changes, at least not primarily. But, rather an internal orientation. Making the Sacred your bottom line doesn’t have to mean running off to join a Monestary, Nunnery or Ashram, or living in a Cave, or becoming a Priest, Rabbi, or Imman, or going to Theological School. For any given individual it could entail any of these, none of these are in and of themselves guaranteed to deepen your connection to the Sacred.

Basically, the source of all dissatisfaction is our apparent divorce from the Sacred. The Sacred is the only thing big enough for to fill the hole that you seek to fill with Money, Sex, Relatinoships, Achievements, Food, Drugs, Shopping, or whatever you do in your attempts to gain satisfaction.

Alchemy is the term I use for the methods for cultivating your experience of the Sacred, because deepening you experience of the Sacred will transform every aspect of your life, and because Alchemy is about using every aspect of life to both deepen your own experience of the Sacred and to express that connection for the benefit of others.

I assist people in deepening their connection with the Sacred and expanding their experience of it into all areas of there lives

If you already have a Sacred Practice I can help you get more out of it and take it more fully ‘off the cushion’ and into your life as well as expand it into a full Alchemical Life Practice

If you dont have one, I will help you begin one with methods that are appropriate to where you are now and thus in accordance to what ever beliefs you currently hold about what the Sacred is.

In almost all cases this will include some sort of Mediation practice. I am aware of the vast majority of types and styles of meditation;. knowledgeable in very many, practiced in many, and pretty darn good at a number. I first began Meditating when I was 10 years old and done extensive amounts of meditation retreats including over two years in continuous retreat. I also know how to use technology to help your get more out of your Meditation practice sooner. If you have a mediation practice I can help you deepen it. If you tried meditating and gave up I can help you restart and preserve working within the context of you life as it is now. If your willing to give it 5 minutes a day to start with then you have everything you need..Everyone can Meditate.

You may have noticed that I in the above I never once mentioned God (unless you count theological) at least by such a term. Some people use that word to refer to the Absolute Truth and if you are such a person then that is a perfect place to start your journey into deeper connection with the Sacred. However you need no such concept to experience the Sacred. My own Sacred Path is essentially non-theistic. What the really means is a whole other conversation but what it means is in this context is that regardless of what your ideas or concepts about what constitutes the Fundamental Truth of reality I can help you. If you already have a sacred path that is Theistic in orientation, then no problem. Honestly it is easier for a non-theist to use theistic speak meaningfully then it for a theist to try and use non-theist speak because theist speak is the cultural norm. On the other hand, if the notion of  or the word , ‘god’ makes you uneasy or has negative connotations then I am well equipped to help you connect with and experience the Sacred with relying on such words or notions

Alchemical Life Coaching works without reliance on any dogma but rather through method that leads to lived experience.

Alchemical Life Practice

The Foundation of an Alchemical Life Practice is a set of activities that one engages in specifically with the intent “to become the change”; “to unleash your capacity for inexhaustible benefit while becoming more and more unreasonably happy”.

Said another way an Alchemical Life Practice is a set of practices to cultivate your capacity for Alchemical Living. It is the Personal Alchemy that is essential for anyone who want to be a Global Alchemist

To be Alchemical, , as the term is used in this context, this set of activities must

  • address all aspect of your experience of being
  • must transform the foundations of these aspects which are structure of consciousness.
    • (Or empower you to make these transformations. That is to say many (perhaps even most) Alchemical Life Practice activities don’t directly transform the structure of consciousness but provide requiste skills for doing so. For example on such vector of training is to increase the stability of attention which is the actual aim of most basic styles of meditation. Perfect stability of attention maintained over long periods of time may cause some small transformation but will not ever in and of itself accomplish the most essential transformation. However when coupled with knowledge of on what to sustain your attention and in what fashion, powerful stability of attention can enable very powerful transformation of consciousness structures. In the realm of consciousness attention is the coin of the realm)
  • include methods for engaging with all aspects of life so that the engagement itself transforms these consciousness structures.

Alchemical Life Practice has two major aspects – on the cushion (which might call ALP proper) and engaged (Which we might call Alchemical living. In some ways these can be compared to a musician practicing fundamental such as scales (cushion pracitce) and practicing full pieces of music (engaged practice). Unlike the musician, in Alchemical Life Practice there is no separation between practicing a whole piece and its performance. Life is the song and the only way to practice it is by living it.

The term ‘life’ conveys two meanings here. The first is that it meant to address all areas of you life including all aspect of your experience of being. The second is meaning is to convey its ongoing nature. While individual elements of your life practice can and will change ‘life practice’ is a practice for life. Just as a master musician never stops practicing, presumably even after retirement, unless a physical injury or such makes it impossible to continue, any Global Alchemist or Alchemical Hero worthy of the appellation will maintain his/her practice through this life and into the next, assuming such a continuity. (We will leave aside such questions as whether or not there such a thing as completing the great work, or complete enlightenment or what have you as they are not relevant to the context at hand)

Whether, you already have a complete well rounded Alchemical Life Practice, Some elements but not all, or are starting from scratch I can help you make whatever adjustments are needed to get the most benefit from an Alchemical Life Practice in relation to the ever changing circumstances of your life. By the circumstances of your life I mean both the external happenings and your inner change such as new life objectives, new aspirations, new agendas and most especially that of your own progress. An Alchemical Life Practice needs to be progressive. That it is to say it needs to adjust to your own progress, if it is to continue to yield maximum benefit.


Making every activity and arena of your life support you in becoming the change you seek and expressing into the fabric of you life and the world:

One of the specialties of the Alchemical Approach to change is that, while remaining clear on the primacy of interior transformation, realizing that the connection of inner and outer works both directions, utilizes the external to facilitate and support interior change. This is accomplished through a combination of orientation and specific methods

Alchemical Hero Training

In addition to the General Alchemical Life Coaching mentioned above, for those interested in Alchemical Hero Training. I offer personal coaching in the foundational training. While in the very near future, group coaching and home study courses will be available, at this moment, besides the Alchemical Hero Starter Kit, personal one-on-one coaching is the only way to do Alchemical Hero Training.

Alchemical Integration  – Guided Heroic Sessions

While one can learn and do Alchemical Integration Heroic Sessions on ones own (at least once the home study course is done 🙂 ). The fastest way to both become skilled at Alchemical Integration and get the most immediate results is through live guided Sessions.
