Early Days Ten years ago, our first monthly newsletter, then called Energy Balancing Newsletter, was emailed. No fancy technology available; just a computer and an email listing. Nothing more was needed to reach people with an increasing curiosity about energy after receiving qi emission treatments with Alice. Continued curiosity led to the first class. Its topic was the basics of energy vibration.  

This true story was recently included in Alice Cory’s Subtle Energy Alchemy™ newsletter, Energy Sharing. There were so many questions and comments received in response that it seems a good idea to include it here in our website Blog postings so it is available to a wider audience. It has also been expanded to include details of the hand energy exercise mentioned in the story’s ending. John was a contractor taking care of some too-heavy-for-me-to-handle shrub removal. It was

Here are some explanations of frequently used terms in Subtle Energy Alchemy’s self-healing and internal cultivation practices. Energy Definitions AWARENESS is the conscious recognition about something, someone else, and/or ourselves. Each awareness opens us to more and deeper understandings about ourselves and the world around us. Our perspective becomes not only broader, but also clearer with enhanced empathy. Summary:  Awareness reduces the less supportive energy vibrat

As I’m writing this, we have just honored Labor Day, schools have opened and Halloween candy has appeared in the stores. Although our calendars show a few more weeks before Autumn, its energy has been entering since August. Our active outwardly focused summer yang energy is giving way to the entry of quieter inwardly directed yin. We may find ourselves becoming more introspective.  The active meridian channel through which our subtle energy flows during Autumn is increasingly

Every once in a while, I spot the above symbol. It can usually be found in locations such as tai chi and qigong studios but was recently seen as an unrelated company’s logo. Is there a connection with subtle energy?  Let’s explore that. Origins Its earliest history includes ancient Chinese philosophical practices. Various depictions have been found on early divination objects used hundreds of years ago in the Eastern portion of our world.  Even in today’s time, those in the E

Our prior two blogs ( HERE and HERE ) focusing on intuition discussed internal and external seeing. There are also more uncommon forms of intuition such as tasting or smelling energy. But let’s look into two of the most common intuitive experiences. Knowing & Feeling What are the most common forms of intuition––the types most have experienced at one time or another? They are knowing or feeling without conscious awareness of the source. Our typical reaction to such an occurre

In a recent Blog we discussed internal intuitive seeing.  That information is located HERE . Now we look at external intuitive seeing. You say that seeing must be the same, right? No, there is a major difference between the two. External Intuitive Seeing In this case, what is seen appears physically real, solid in its form, and we assume other people around us can also see the same. Our first experience with external seeing can be surprising, even unnerving. In spite of its a

Our April 3, 2022 class on Intuition spanned this fascinating subject, especially its what and how. Included were the many forms in which intuition comes to us.    One of the most common is through sight but this also takes more than one form. Generally speaking, there is  internal intuitive seeing and  external intuitive seeing Let’s take a look at the internal sight experience.  Internal Intuitive Seeing Frequently, this form of intuitive experience is the easiest to recogn

Quieting Our sensing ability and intuitive awareness have a lot in common. How much have you thought about Our Five Senses & Intuition? The more we quiet the unneeded mental and emotional chatter, the more self-attuned we become, and the easier to gain awareness of what lies around us. Our F ive Senses & Intuition As we become more at one with ourselves, our physical five senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, and feel automatically increase.  For some people, one or two sense

Self-Healing It’s no surprise that our favorite topic in this website revolves around subtle energy and its life-changing impact in our lives. Proof is Subtle Energy Alchemy’s Six Stepping Stones for Self-Healing & Well-Being: Body – Breath – Mind – Emotion – Connection – Unity Each Step leads toward a higher energy vibration through broadened self-awareness and increased conscious understanding of the energy world in which we live. The Stepping Stones also provide practices

We've been gradually releasing emotional burdens, shifting our thought process and bringing externally focused life more in tune with our inner self. Wow! They may be baby steps but – again – Wow! Hopefully you’re celebrating every achievement on your journey toward self-healing and inner awareness.  Is there anything else happening at the same time? Yes, there is. Detoxing our body, mind and emotions is a shedding process. We’re letting go of what no longer supports our ques

Our five senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch play a role in our intuitive ability. As we release drains on our own system and become more open to the energy around us, our entire body sensitizes along with aura expansion. Sensory receptivity increases.  Receptivity So, what is increased receptivity when we’re talking about intuition? It means we are connecting with an increased number of vibrational frequencies. We are better able to consciously receive both phys

Impactful self-influences coming from ourselves that result in consequences on our well-being include: Physical functions Thoughts and attitude Desire to seek greater understandings Self-image Emotions - Do they control us? Degree of calmed quiet mind Balance between inner and outer life Each of these impacts the others, but the most powerful from the above listing are emotions and thoughts. Every moment of every day holds them. Some can lift and open us while others block a
