The Incredible Power of "Transmutation" on the Spiritual Path
I have to pinch myself sometimes, being here in this physical body. I know well a higher dimensional existence of pure light, where thought and creativity happen at lightning speed; where you feel completely interconnected with sentient life and can travel through the cosmos in the blink of the third eye. But I am here in this dense - and wonderful! - physical body. And I'm reminded that light can still change it. In fact, consciousness can change all our 3D experiences and creations.
Everything is of consciousness - nothing is fixed and rigid
It's natural to want to change one's life for the better, in an authentic way, meaning: to find greater alignment with the natural flow of the moment; to create magically as one with the Universe; to be more sovereign and empowered; to unfurl a deeper degree of inner harmony and peace. All of these become immediately possible when we remember, and embody in our lives, one fundamental truth...
That everything is of consciousness, of energy, even the physical body, and therefore it is not fixed and rigid in time and space. It is ever changing, and has the possibility to transform for the better, by the infusion of Unity Consciousness through your soul.
Infusion of soul is the key to Transmutation. If we can soften the body and mind from its rigid judgments of reality, then we'll open up an alchemical vessel through which to infuse soul. Soul is your interconnection with the Universe, and when you're truly in it, then the infinite possibility of the Universe becomes available to you.
All know that the drop merges into the ocean.
But few know that the ocean merges into the drop!
Rumi
What might we experience when soul begins to infuse into the bodymind?
Here are some of the experiences that become possible...
- Expansion of inner peace, as you connect up to the timeless nature of existence
- Enhanced intuition, as you become increasingly aware of the natural flow of the moment
- Greater inner harmony, as you realign battered DNA
- Expansion into higher dimensions of consciousness and existence
- Feeling guided and supported by your own 'Team' of Higher dimensional guides
So a Universe of infinite possibility opens up as we infuse soul. But we will have to work at it. We will have to be committed and persevere with great patience. Reality is a complex illusion, designed to make the sense of it very real. Pain and discomfort are real experiences, that can create doubt and mistrust when we don't necessarily get what we think we might want. Doubt and mistrust are the very antithesis of Transmutation. If you believe that reality is going to work in a particular way, then the strong likelihood is you'll create that. Likewise with unconsciousness - if you're unconsciously conditioned through karma to create reality in a particular way, then so you shall.
Developing empowering spiritual practice
That's why it's essential to develop a spiritual practice that takes you deep into the layers of body and mind - that cause you to confront, and 'normalise' in the phenomena, so that you begin to treat them merely as relativistic experiences and not fixed or absolute. With each venture into your inner world, you'll encounter the limitations of judgment and fixed belief, be they physical, emotional, mental or karmic. It's in these places some form of fixed limitation has been established. But as we penetrate deep into them with the light of pure awareness, then they become malleable, and flexible to change.
Here's the point: as I soften the inner world and progressively render it more pliable, then like a gentle flower through withering concrete, the soul will penetrate into any crusty judgments, 'compost' them down and transform the landscape with infinite possibility. Crucially this then begins to reflect into our outer world to change all aspects of it: from our relationships to how we live and work. This is the incredible possibility of alchemical transmutation.
At Openhand, one of the key practices we apply for alchemical Transmutation possibility, is what we call the "Openhand Bow", which has been developed from the ancient practice of Kriya Yoga (introduced in "Autobiography of Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda). It's where you bend deep into any tightness, discomfort, resistance or judgment of the moment, and intensify it, so that you have the possibility to redefine your experience of it.
You surrender into it and discover the pure presence of the One, so the limitation no longer defines you.
I have recorded a download meditation for you to sample and purchase at this link.
You can also gain free video guidance of the Openhand Bow, and additional perspectives on the phenomena of "Transmutation" in this Shift Diary here below. It's around 20 minutes long, so do put some quality time aside - your transmutation into a more evolved form is greatly worth it! Besides, I've illuminated the video with some tremendous inspirational timelapse photography of our blessed Mother Nature. Enjoy and be inspired...

69 is Powerful Numerology
Comment
69/09/2024 Shift Update 69
69 is powerful numerology indeed. What does it say?
To me, it speaks of reaching up into the higher dimensions, making a connection into your deepest self, and then channeling that back into your life for maximum positive transformational effect.
You'll be having plentiful challenges on the path, no doubt. With so much shifting in the energy field right now, that's going to be having a massive torsional effect in your own field. It impacts your inner landscape, and therefore reflects into all aspects of your life.
Now these inflows can either be chaotic and beyond your ability to manage. Or, you can participate in the integrations and bring the highest sense of self to bear. The latter means you're becoming a positive co-creator in the Shift, which mediates powerfully into your life. Even where great change is happening, you gain rapid insights as to why, and how best to align with this new way of living and being.
The Answer Is Meditation
The answer so often is meditation. Although in a world of turmoil, it doesn't necessarily seem so.
However, when you sit in stillness, it's not just about being placid and accepting. Personally, I'm travelling with Dragon Energy even when I'm still. Dragon is also highly sensitive and empathic. So there's careful and sensitive exploration of all the subtle nuances that are going on internally. It's subtle, but Dragon is flying through the dimensions.
(If you're not yet familiar with Dragon Energy, explore this active thread: Embodying Dragon Energy)
69 Resolving Problems
So let's say you have a problem externally, a disharmony in some aspect of your life or some dramatic upheaval, and you wonder just what is going on? You go into stillness and sense all the subtle eddy currents and convolutions. You're deepening into them, and your Dragon Consciousness is integrating and realigning them. You don't get an immediate answer to your "problem", but that definitely doesn't mean it's not being solved.
If the meditation is deep enough, then you've created a realigning "Dragon Flow" through your being. The 6 consciousness is has been reaching up, now the 9 consciousness is reaching down. You feel subtly different. Hence you present into the world in a slightly different way. If you're always coming from the sense of your inner beingness, then this most definitely will impact the outer. The 69 approach makes you a positive co-creator.
People often say they don't have the time to meditate, especially in a busy life and world. I say, how can you possibly NOT have the time to meditate?!
Get up earlier. Get out of social media!!
69 encourages us to reach in, and reach up. Then you'll gain massively from the inflows, even if at first, they feel subtle.
Bright blessings on this 69 day,

eddy currents
In reply to 69 is Powerful Numerology by Open
Comment
This seems really powerful but I'm not sure how to put it into practice. How do you sense a subtle eddy current within yourself? Maybe I'm confused but it seems it's different than sensing and feeling into areas of tightness which I associate with blockages. To me an eddy current has movement and flow but is created from distortion and so results in a distorted flow. So are you feeling into your own torus and where it may have a "kink" in it? Or is eddy current another way to describe areas of tightness? And then to deepen into them are you just bringing your awareness to them and holding space or is there more to it?
Fascinating the different challenges between empath and catalyst
In reply to eddy currents by Ann B
Comment
Good question Ann 👍
For me, there's a clear difference between quite a dense blockage, and a more subtle "kink" in the flow, as you call it. Although my personal sense of it, is more as a murmur - it's a subtle swirl in the flow, that requires a good deal of stillness and sensivitiy to spot - within your own torus. I guess the challenge for an empath would be where you're feeling much more of the external field?
For me, in the Dragon Energy, I only tune into the external machinations as I'm given to - the primary movement is coherency within one's own Torus. It does tune in externally, but only to find the boundaries and banks of the flow, and how it can get more moving with it.
How fascinating the different challenges are for an empath and a catalyst!
Much love

In reply to Fascinating the different challenges between empath and catalyst by Open
Comment
Yes, the challenge is rarely if ever do I feel only my own field. And things show up in my field ranging from really loud to muted but this does has nothing to do with how dense or sutle it is. Rather it's tied to how much of a priority. Sometimes I can tell something is very sutle in the external field but shows up really loud in mine so that it gets my attention and can be addressed.
Coherency
In reply to Fascinating the different challenges between empath and catalyst by Open
Comment
Just a reflection, coherency to me is when the torus has expanded to incorporate the external within the internal, there is no seperation. So external vibration, movement, noise, is all expereinced within the body. Then you get the phenomena of knowing what is coming before you physically see it, which is helpful in the martial arts. Coherency is far more obviously, it's equanimity witin the self, holding the centrepoint of all phenomena.
I'm expanded out this way most of the time, and always was, so a chaotic environment can be exhausting, eventually, as you're feeling it all. I assume that's why meditaors prefer space and quiet. Energies arise in response to stimulation from the outside, which is of course, the inside. That's just my experience. The cosmos is a dreamfield, it's all imagination. The idea of me is a fiction that is so transparent i'm happy to merge in this manner.
I'm seeing far too many of my posts, i'm going to be quiet now.

Comment
04/04/24 Shift Update:
Wow, just look at the numerology of this Shift update - to me it speaks strongly of karmic transfromation in the air.
With that in mind, let's not forget the incredible power of transmutation on the spiritual path this Easter, and especially when considering catalytic consciousness is coming active in the field, which is highly alchemical. Let's remember - and test - that EVERYTHING is of consciousness and although things appear rigid and solid, they are not. Everything can change. We have to soften the mind to allow that, to accept infinite possibility in any given moment. Then things really can take off for you.
The whole world is the process of fundamental change right now, on all levels. With this in mind, do read through the lead article above and if it resonates, apply the meditations to open up your inner space. Let the soul flood in. Then just watch how the landscape starts to shape around you.

Dear Openhand,
I knew this video. It gives me that surreal feeling one often gets in the dream scape.
People often say that there is nothing new under the sun, often a brilliant being, being humble about their work. I always wonder, what about the moon? This is a subtle reminder, a small nudge, that there is always another iteration.
Iterations of the path, iterations of what should be, or what will be. My knowing is that these choice’s and questions, the iterations themselves, are merely smoke and mirrors. They are the carrot we ourselves place on the stick to amuse ourselves.
Whether it be ego or soul, setting down the concern with what one should be doing, or with what somebody else should be doing, is liberating for everybody, that alone attunes one to the source that is directing the entire theodrama.
I must’ve witnessed ten thousand dialogues whereby one entity is telling another entity that they are an ego. It’s become the most absurd interplay I’ve ever known in all creation. I have to adjust my GodTube feed.
I’ve never witnessed one entity tell another entity, you are an immortal soul, an eternal being, you are living out an illusory character, like a child play’s an imaginary game, remember? Whatever a being is, the other beings are going to project anyway. That is how it is, until you’re so sovereign that it doesn’t matter if you’re hung up on a cross and crucified over it.
Let it not come to that. Whatever a being subconsciously attempts to obtain from outside itself, without its own knowledge. It will be withheld, until one no longer requires it, and then it will be given. Require nothing, want nothing, need nothing. YOU ARE IT.
Open, you are a brilliant writer, I look forward to reading your new book.
And now, for the transitory avatar that wrote these very words, it’s into the sacrificial fire, forever, and a day.
Amen 🙏

Hey Open,
Over the Easter break I listened to the fac con sessions and I gained illuminations like snowfakes falling.
It was so encouraging after so many months/years of hard slog and wondering if I was making any progress at all. At times feeling like I was walking in the dark yet my soul kept urging me on step by step.
Today on my way over to feed my chooks my attention was drawn to a glorious dragonfruit flower the first I've ever seen. I felt like it was a gift from the universe so I stayed with that feeling of gratefullness.
Then on my way to my pottery class so many rosellas were flying across the road all the way to the highway, it was a sign to me that I was loved n cherished.
I started class with a renewed inspiration and flowed into my zone.
Then I got a call from the flood recovery support people saying I am eligible for assistance to get my poor old leaking mouldy caravan fixed!! I was so overwhelmed with gratitude I shed a few tears.
Wow when the universe comes through it is truly awesome! It makes all the mud wading so worth it!
I am so grateful to you, the team and the lovely community for all the love, support and encouragement. Thankyou so much.
Much love n big hugs

Transcendence with Stunning Mother Gaia
Comment
30/08/2021 Openhand Journal Update
It's Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK, a public holiday, which is hailed as the last day of our summer. I've been up on the stunning Dartmoor in South West England ahead of our new academic year commencing with a retreat here at the marvellous Eden Rise.
My time here reminded me of a video I captured at one of the places I've been camping. It's all about the power of transmutation through the art of transcendence. Whether you have a holiday today or not, I share it as a means of inspiration to experience transcendence today, by feeling through any density that arises, or any negativity, and dance free as the soul through the ether.
So do refresh my article today to garner some inspiration, especially the video at the end from the marvellous Dartmoor. It contains a demonstration of the Openhand Bow which is so powerful for unleashing your deep inner self...

Inordinate Power to Change our Lives and the World
Comment
Never doubt that we have inordinate power to change our lives and the world through the inner work that we do. Everything is of consciousness - it is one space-time-continuum. If you can work to align your inner consciousness with the flow of the soul, then you connect up to the infinite organising power of the source. You channel that energy through you, which is going to have a tremendously beneficial effect around you.
Right now on the Openhanders private Facebook Group, there's a group of Openhanders conducting a six month bow challenge - they are actively changing their lives and the world in the process.
For anyone new to Openhand...

Attaching to neither the 'ups' nor the 'downs'
Comment
Hi Desi - nice to see you here - welcome 
I think you raise a valuable point. For sure the vibe gets very high at these events, and everyone starts to reflect that back to oneanother - plenty of uplifting feedback loops. I believe there are two reasons a 'crash' might happen afterwards: (1) the importance of connecting to the centredness through is all - the ups and the downs so as to attach or identify with neither. So not attaching to a 'light based' experience just as one might also want to distance from the density - this can create a 'yo yo' effect. (2) When you do strongly activate the light of the soul, it's also going to dredge up the shadow side identity - because fragments of soul have become disconnected into that. And the shadow identity will have created at least some of the environment we find ourselves living in.
I do witness though, then when we commit to the path and realise the ups and the downs of it, then more and more people embrace the density as a necessary part of progression. We move through it more easily and rapidly.
Big hug your way

Post event crash
Comment
Hi Everyone,
Now that we are in peak vacation season, I wanted to share something I recently became aware of. This phenomena doesn’t happen to everyone, but I think it’s very common.
It’s when we have an energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual crash after an inspiring and powerful event or retreat. And this is not limited to spiritual events. It can be an uplifting business event, a social event, a holiday (in my case), or any other event where our level of happiness, vibrational frequency, inspiration, and energy were stimulated and raised.
I have been looking at the reasons for this to happen, and I am still not clear as to why it does happen. Mostly, it feels like the vibrational frequency between our own personal lives and that of the event are so different that when we get back to our personal lives unless we continue with a strong high frequency practice, the familiarity of our old lives pulls us back down. The frequency falling even a little bit is so devastating that we then crash. Once we come out of the crash, back to how our lives used to be before the event does not feel so bad after all.
Another reason of course could be that during the event, we were surrounded by a group of individuals who were also at that high vibrational frequency intent and thus generating high frequencies with us, so when we remove ourselves from that field of collective awareness, we feel disconnected from what is our true nature’s “normal” state, and crash. Any suggestions?

The problem of guilt when you feel awake and others don't
Comment
Hi Bianca,
It's great to have you a part of the community
My sense is you've hit the nail on the head (so to speak). Feeling "guilty" does spike quite strongly in the field. So that would be something to look into. At a soul level, everyone chooses the circumstances they need in which to wake up and evolve - these can be the most challenging thing. It's essential that we don't somehow try to remove the circumstances they've created - but rather hold the space for them to experience what they need to experience.
Emotionally taking on the burden of others, could actually prevent them from waking up - because they don't touch the source of the pain within. The best is to hold the space for them to feel deeply. And, most importantly, to shine your own light - which is hard to do if we're carrying the burden!
There's absolutely nothing wrong with feeling what you're feeling - it's entirely right to be awake and expanded. So I'd say confront the feeling of guilt, explore into it, and work to let it go. Then you'll feel better and actually be able to support in a more aligned and effective way.
Sending love, wishing you well

Dear Open ,
Even though I have read these comments several times, they really landed strongly for me today as I am feeling into Deep childhood wounding . I can see how much I resist feeling these feelings just as they are without any mind embellishments. How much I try and fix and dramatise or put labels on it. I know this intellectually but I am witnessing how much my intellectual knowing actually means nothing until I experience it .
At a soul level, everyone chooses the circumstances they need in which to wake up and evolve - these can be the most challenging thing. It's essential that we don't somehow try to remove the circumstances they've created - but rather hold the space for them to experience what they need to experience.
In so many ways I have avoided this -going into saviour mode or non acceptance . And its astonishing that despite my practice its only today morning that I was able to make space to feel (some of )the pain of being in a very emotionally immature environment as a child . And I resonate with the guilt as well ! I am so much more expanded than my birth family that I feel as if its a mistake somehow . I remind myself again and again :
The best is to hold the space for them to feel deeply. And, most importantly, to shine your own light - which is hard to do if we're carrying the burden!
Thank you so much . I think ,it is doing the bow and bending into challenges again and again that is allowing these very deep layers to come up into the light .

disconnection as a boundary
Comment
Hi Open and everyone,
I feel blessed to be part of this community.
As an empath I have used numbness and disconnection to avoid taking on energies and responsabilities that are not mine. I now find myself in a place where I'm opening up more and feeling more and I'm scared of feeling people out because then I'll feel obliged to want to help them and take on tasks that aren't meant for me. At the moment my mum is in hospital and I feel there is some pressure for me to help out more. I'm not sure if its real pressure or if it's my guilt. I feel guilty for having found peace and so when people are telling me about their challenges its a challenge to feel it all and trust that they will find a way.
love
Bianca
