The content
Hermetics is an ancient pre-religion based philosophy and technique that was used by secret groups around the globe to actualise the Master in every one of us. Understanding Fundamental Universal Law here is how we can start to alchemise energy into reality through precise, focused practice.
The tools used are passed down through direct teachings.
5 Element Qigong is a timeless practice that takes you out of your head and into your senses.
We are made up of the elements. They are in us as fire (body heat, digestive fire, direction, compassion), water (we are 70-80% water), air (we breathe it and it permeates every cell of our being), matter or Earth (all things physical consisting of atoms) and consciousness which flows through the space that makes up the atoms.
When you connect with the five elements you not only connect with the body, but also nature, the Universe and the Cosmos. This is where we obtain unlimited power, abundance, love, happiness etc. and bring it into this dimension.
With Akashic Guidance we use pure potential that we harness from the above practices and form that into our creations. Pure potential is nothingness. It's space but is full of energy. It's what you have before you do anything with it. As the creator of your own reality, you choose what goes where and this is how this retreat works.
Each day we focus on a different topic.
Day 1 is all about clearing, cleansing and bringing focus to what it is we choose to create.
Day 2 is about clearing the heart and power centres, cultivating that energy.
Day 3 is where we Manifest Mastery.
Day 4 we connect with the infinite self and download solutions etc. How this is done is revealed on the retreat!
I adapt these teaching and tools to match and stretch your levels of learning. Some experience of either energy work, meditation, yoga, mindfulness will help but is not essential.
With 26+ years of active working experience in this field I have fuzed this unique combination of methods together to form Alchemy of Mastery. This retreat stands on its own and once you have attended it you will have these tools for life to draw on as and when you want to.
Imagine living your life from your full potential!
All of life's issues, your relationships and how you relate to them can be addressed within your Akashic records or Living library over time.
Shakti will teach you how to find and unlock your personal records. She is the Librarian who will guide you to your past, present and future.
After the retreat you will be able to envision your goals and keep them as your reality, unleashing your ultimate potential. You will have more charge and clarity to focus on what really matters most to you. Beware though, once you plant these seeds you must nourish and preserve them. The work continues with you as you take your creations home and charge them daily so that they/you flourish. This is key to all creative work. You must include it into your daily practice and exercise discipline.
