The Power of Alchemy: Transforming Pain into Purpose

The definition of an alchemist is an ancient scientist who could turn metals into gold. That process was done through science and chemistry, but on a spiritual level we’ve all practiced alchemy.

An alchemist can create something amazing from the most ordinary things, learning to turn negativity into something that shines bright.  It’s when you take all the pain, all the betrayal, the loss and the days you suffered, along with all the disappointments and everything else life throws at you, and you turn all that into something positive. You turn it into wisdom. 

 If you can still turn everything meant to stop you into strength, survival, and beauty; you are an alchemist. If you create the best life for yourself despite all the things set up against you, you are an alchemist. And if you continue to get up each time you are knocked down and not only do you get up, you evolve every time, then you cannot doubt you practice alchemy. 

Creating fire from ashes is not for the weak. If you dream big and when it seems impossible, you make the dream ever larger, you are truly an alchemist. No ease comes from making something out of nothing, but it’s in that same darkness where beauty is created from discomfort.  

We all have the the power to change things within our lives, to transform the most difficult times into something to be proud of. Everybody can stand the pressure to become a better person at anytime in their lives, no battle that is fought can ever over power you. That is an alchemist mindset. 
When you are constantly evolving, you know that life can turn the disappointment and confusion into discernment and clarity. It’s important to see yourself in the best ways, and to learn how to change any darkness into light, there is purpose in everything and it’s important to see yourself in all angles. 

A true alchemist knows there’s a time where you must be selfish, because there is no room for manipulation or others peoples projections, and insecurities. Being underestimated and put down are not in alignment with who you are. There is also a time when you have to spread love and light and motivate others. You have to nurture other people and when the realization of this comes to you easily and naturally, then you’ll know that you are a master alchemist. 
A supreme alchemist knows duality and understand it effortlessly, they know they come with both the light and the darkness. They also know how to cultivate it and how to transmute it as needed. The energy others give out is always understood by an alchemist.

 

It is important to know how to use all the components to change the energy around you; the power of being authentic, of detaching what no longer serves your highest self, and the result of speaking positivity over yourself. An alchemist resonates with the signs around them, and knows how to validate and motivate themselves, along with mastering yourself and walking a path of reaching a higher spiritual frequency. 
This is how you become someone who turns every negative thing around into something you benefit from or eventually learn from. 

To take every aspect of what is given to you to evolve in the most beautiful ways. 

Until next time, remember, when chaos rises, and pain may come, create calm over confusion...

And beauty will follow.
