In the western mystical traditions, candidates for initiation must first receive the sacrament of purification before being admitted into an esoteric order for study and practice. In the Egyptian Rosicrucian initiatory schools, purification practices included fasting, ritual bathing and secluded meditation. Mediaeval alchemists and healers focused on cleansing and purifying the internal organs to raise their energetic awareness. Most modern occult rituals also call for the immediate ceremonial purification of new members as they are brought into the temple to take their vows.

In the yoga traditions of the east, purification practices also play a valuable role in preparing oneself to devote body-mind and soul to seek the higher life. These methods include the internal cleansing of all bodily openings where energy flows into and out of the being. Fasting, special herbs and dietary restrictions are used to aid the attainment of more subtle states of consciousness. (more…)

Welcome to the new Enlightened Life Newsletter! I had a busy beginning to summer this year with the Living Light retreat that finished on the solstice, and the launch of my new social media network. July is also beginning with lots of new activities, including a four-part Spiritual Empowerment series that you can join via weekly livecast webinars, or attend in person in Austin, TX. See the article below for all the details.

There were many stories of healing and improved spiritual connections from the retreat group members, and requests from many of you to participate in a Living Light group in the future. I promise I will offer you this opportunity again soon. In the meantime, I am working on preparing the recordings of the weekly teleseminars from the June program for you to download and use along with the book and CD to accelerate your success with Living Light.

Alchemy is an ancient spiritual discipline that seeks to access and focus the Life Force energy in both its cosmic and personal forms. On the personal level the Life Force energy is responsible for the health of the physical body. When the Life Force leaves the body the result is death. When it is reduced or constricted, disease and illnesses set in. Consequently, in the beginning stages of alchemy the focus is on increasing this vital energy in order to clear obstructions from the body and heal physical imbalances.

Alchemy can be defined as magical power applied to the process of transmutation. The magical power that is used in alchemy is the Life Force energy. To transmute is to change from one state or condition to another. Before one can apply the Life Force toward cleansing and the reestablishment of health, one must first increase this magical energy within the physical form. I have developed several Alchemical Yoga practices that can accelerate the healing process, speed reconstruction of the cells and organs of the body, and allow one to manifest his/her ideal physical form more rapidly.
