"What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves?  This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous.”

Meditation is the vehicle for becoming intimate with yourself and the world around you - it is a practice of being authentic and open.  This is what makes the practice of meditation difficult for many people.  However, the practice of meditation is available for anyone and everyone.  With gentle encouragement and patient coaching, anyone can learn to meditate.  Meditation is the way of becoming increasingly aware of and intimate with the marvelous, rich complexity of who you are at your deepest level.  

Alchemy is the process of transformation - it is the practice of attending mindfully to our inner-work.  As we deepen our meditation and cultivate our personal awareness, we will naturally discover our soul's desire to grow, change, and heal.  Working with a Spiritual Director or Spiritual Coach, can help bring intention and clarity to our spiritual inner-work.  
“If I have to avoid my suffering in order to experience happiness, then this is not true happiness.  It is not possible to be truly happy without touching our suffering, allowing it to be present in our lives.  Learning how to hold it gently, like a child, to embrace it, to comfort it. And as we welcome this suffering in our lives, joy grows from this.  This can happen now; this sort of transformation can happen right now.  If we look deeply into the nature of our suffering, breathe into it with mindfulness, then the possibility of transformation exists.”
