Waking Up: An Ode to Alchemy

"Alchemy is the process of becoming yourself, the art of turning your darkness into light." - Robin Sharma

If you have ever been in love, this book is for you.
If you have ever had your heart broken, this book is for you.
Half of this creation was born of pain and longing,
While half emerged from embodied serenity.
Everyone is made of darkness and light;
one cannot exist without the other.

This book contains my soul.
I share it with you because it changed my life.
Creating it helped me realize I was sleepwalking.
Afraid to acknowledge the pain within. Afraid to be vulnerable. Afraid of being alone.
I had to face my darkness. I had to love it. I had to thank it.
Only then could I wake up to my light.

Now it's your turn.
You must go through your darkness to awaken your light.
Once you remember who you are, you will never be the same.
I invite you to experience my darkness through poetry, photographs, and music ultimately emerging into the light together. 

If you are here, you're already 
Waking Up.

Follow these instructions for the ultimate experience in alchemy:

Step 1: Clear Your Space. I recommend Sage or Palo Santo. Allow it to purify bringing sacredness into your space.

Step 2: Prepare Your Tea. I recommend something calming or Blue Lotus. Blue Lotus is traditionally known as a gateway to the divine.

Step 3: Get Cozy. Snuggle up with a blanket, headphones, journal, and pen for your 33-minute experience. Feel free to take your time with the book if experiencing a few pages each sitting feels more aligned.

Step 4: Scan the QR Code. Press play on page 6, for the full sensory experience. Allow the spoken poetry and original score to guide you on a journey deep into your imagination.

Step 5: Experience & Receive. This creation is infused with Reiki. Surrender to its healing power, as you go into the darkness and emerge into the light.

Step 6: Alchemize. When a poem makes you feel something, pause, and journal on what wants to be seen and felt. Then alchemize that emotion into something else: art, a meal, a conversation, an expression, a yell, a laugh, a hug.

Anything - just create. Become the Alchemist.

Alchemize your lead into gold, your darkness into light, and your pain into power.
