A New Chapter... Body Alchemy...
"Philosophical alchemy is the art of transforming what stands in misery, conflict, fixation, and confusion (the prime matter or prima materia) and allowing it to come to presence freely and completely as itself (the ultimate matter of ultima materia)... transformation is the art of allowing our essential nature, as body-mind-spirit, to manifest completely and freely without conflict and fixation. It is the art of freeing the whole person, body and all. It is not the willful attempt to change who and what we are, but the art of becoming who we are." -Jeffery Maitland
