The Body as an Alchemical Vessel
In classical alchemy, the goal was simple in concept, profound in meaning:

In the body, this looks like:
🌗The Dance Between Left & Right Brain
Our brain is a magnificent instrument - two hemispheres, one consciousness.
Each side perceives the world differently, yet both are designed to work together in a seamless exchange of information, emotion, and energy.
They are joined by the corpus callosum, a vital bridge of nerve fibres allowing messages to pass between hemispheres - a biological metaphor for harmony itself.
But when the bridge becomes clouded by stress, trauma, or conditioning, we experience what might be called an “internal war”
How Feelings Shape Physical Health
We recently explored the language of symptoms - how the body speaks to us when balance is lost. This week, we turn to another layer of that conversation: the way our emotions echo through the body and shape our health.
Emotions are not abstract or fleeting. They carry energy, vibration, and weight. When acknowledged and expressed, they can flow through us like waves, leaving clarity in their wake. But when pushed aside, buried, or denied, they don’t vanish. Instead, they imprint themselves into our physical being, often showing up as tension, discomfort, or dis-ease.
The Body Keeps the Echo
Listening to the Body's Whispered Messages
Our bodies are wise storytellers. Every ache, twinge, or sensation is part of a greater language - a way the body speaks when something is out of balance.
