Chakras, Alchemy and Spiritual Growth

The 7 Chakras have been used by many spiritual seekers to diagnosis problems in the mind, body, and spirit- forming a spectrum of consciousness ranging from survival to spirituality. Modern Alchemy is the spiritual process of transforming the "lead" of our souls into their purest form of "gold". Through ecstatic movements and trance we use both systems so that each chakra is "crucible"- a place of deep transformation and understanding- so the alchemy of the soul can occur and our lives transformed to the highest human potential.
