I recently had lunch with my dear friend Darlene, who is a Master Numerologist and one of my favorite people to share ideas with. We often meet at a wonderful Thai restaurant in Wells, Maine, where we plan workshops, discuss world events, and just enjoy being together.

I received my early fortune cookie and it said:

“The greatest magic is the transmutation of passions.”

Hmm. That gave me a lot to think about. Playing a fortune cookie is a lot like English literature class when my conclusions about a book didn’t match my teacher’s. So, take what fits here and interpret it in another way.

In the medicine cards by Jamie Sams and David Carson, the energy of transmutation (medicine of fire) is recognized with the medicine of the serpent and the cycle of life-death-rebirth exemplified by the shedding of the serpent’s skin.

In Australian bush flower essences (vibrational medicine where flowers offer wonderful healing gifts), transmutation is supported with multiple essences such as bauhinia, when there is resistance to new ideas or ways of doing things, mint bush to burn the dross or impurities to pass to a higher spiritual level, Banksia Robur to reconnect with your passions, drive, and energy, to name just a few.

Often in a healing kinesiology session, the cause time it is identified for the individual to release a blockage, problem or trauma that has occurred. There is also a wonderful way to cleanse and transmute energy and that is with a process of identifying a time of clarity, a moment in your life when all the stars aligned. Let me give you an example:

Years ago I had a client who was working on releasing childhood abuse and trauma. In this particular session, her priority was to clarify her belief that she would always be alone and would never be in a relationship. The Time of Clarity was the priority option and the identified age was 5 years. She was puzzled because that was the age when much of the abuse was happening. She concentrated on breathing as I ran my hands over her forehead and the back of her head. Suddenly she started crying (tears of happiness) and said that she looked up and saw a picture of Jesus on the wall and she knew that she would never be alone. That was an amazing moment for both of us. It picked up on her thought pattern almost immediately and transmuted the old belief system.

• What do you need to let go or dismiss to recover a passion?

• What is your passion?

• Is your glass half full or half empty?

• When are you most clear?

• At what point in your life did the stars align and you were clear and focused?

New beginnings happen all the time. Be aware of new thoughts, new beliefs, new relationships, opportunities, and passions. Don’t let them pass. Keep a Consciousness Journal and transmute anything that no longer serves you. Allows greater clarity, passion and magic.
