- Alchemy provides a unique perspective on health and disease that differs from conventional medicine. According to this philosophy, periods of sickness and health are as natural as the changing of the seasons.
Alchemy views illness as an initiation. From this perspective, sickness provides you with the opportunity to heal underlying patterns and undergo transformation. One of the best forms of herbal remedies to help you with this process is spagyrics. Because these medicines work on the chemical, energetic, and spiritual levels, they correct health imbalances at their root and help you emerge more whole than before.
In this video, you’ll learn:
-How alchemy's views on illness differ from conventional medicine
-What illness as initiation really means
-Ways that planetary and elemental archetypes influence your health
-The crucial role spagyrics play in healing archetypal imbalances
-How to approach healing for transformational results

I am fascinated by your teachings and the knowledge that you embody. I have a great deal of respect for your studies as well as the heart and passion you have for life of the entire creation, for people, and healing on all levels.
I'm confused as to where you stand spiritually and your core belief system. Watching your teachings, I feel like you're so close yet so far away. I am a Bible believing Christian, and I believe that so much of creation has been perverted and bastardized, so to speak, from God's original plan for everything in our life and existence. Its all been made evil or demonic in the eyes of a Chirstian, but was never made to be that way. Resulting in an entire spiritual realm of God's creation, in healing, power, and oneness with God, to be lost and demonized.
With that said, I guess my ultimate question, as I alluded to before, when you reference the "cosmos" and planets, what do you believe is the source of their existence and power? What are your core beliefs?
I’m sure in the last video or one before he mentioned about plants being a bridge/path to God. Thanks for your comment, I have the same thoughts.
It is sad to think this is what was an emphasis in the human world at one time. What would the human race look like if the natural world had prevailed opposed to pharmaceuticals. We would certainly be more connected to nature. Very interesting. Thank you.
Sajah, the knowledge you convey is very much in the spirit of yoga.
Purification process, to become the best we can be.
Loved your earlier talk about Alchemy and Spagyrics and it’s roots in Kemetic culture (KMT), a golden age.
In this Iron Age of Kali Yuga we have much illusion and delusion to overcome.
I know exactly that which you are speaking of and would like to thank you for supporting observations of my personal path of deep healing and the obstacles which can get in the way of that natural
process.
I love that some consider us not being broken (we are not machines!) but disconnected from our true selves.
Your deep love, belief and continuous learning (attainment of knowledge) is the reason why I keep tuned in to you. You are both master and servant - beautiful!
In my own practice of herbalism, I realised plants speak with us, it is within the relationship we build with them - there is inter communication.
When there is community disease, what ever we need is growing around us at that very moment!
I am a yoga teacher/student in UK and a servant of the servant of the servant!
Thank you for your precious service to humanity. Respected and very much appreciated.
Om Namah Shivai!
Jai Shakti Maa!
