On this episode Brian Berneman chats with Michelle Hawk about the power and journey of personal transformation.
Michelle's Shamanic & Alchemical Journey:
Michelle discovered shamanism as a teenager. She has studied various shamanic traditions and also developed a deep interest in alchemy, seeing it as a way to combine her scientific background in biology with her spiritual practices.
The Interconnectedness of Science and Spirituality:
Michelle & Brian discuss how their backgrounds in science and spirituality have always complemented each other, with both finding ways to integrate these seemingly disparate fields.
Explaining Shamanism and Alchemy:
An earth-based spiritual practice focused on animistic consciousness and connection with the spirit world. She then explains alchemy as a process of transmuting base material into its most elevated, actualized form - both in the physical & spiritual sense.
The Cyclical Nature of Transformation:
Michelle outlines the seven stages of the alchemical cycle - calcination, dissolution, separation, conjunction, fermentation, distillation, and coagulation. She emphasizes that this process is cyclical rather than linear, and that it's important to trust and engage with each stage rather than trying to skip ahead.
Grounding Spiritual Transformation in the Physical:
Michelle & Brian discuss the importance of grounding spiritual and energetic transformations in one's physical life, health, and daily existence. They emphasize that true transformation requires integrating these changes into one's material reality.
Empowering Others with the Alchemical Process:
Michelle believes that understanding this process can empower people to collaborate consciously with the forces of change and transformation, rather than feeling like a victim of circumstances.
