The Science of Transmutation

I just returned from PEI where I was giving the course of Practical Awakenings to a lovely group of 15 women and one young man.

It was my interest to notice this time how the process of transmutation happens as we performed the fire ceremony of the 1000 names of the divine mother.

The group was sitting in circle around the ceremonial fire pit and I was conducting the recitations as they responded with the surrendering mantra. Each participant had 3 obsolete personal topics to offer to the sacred fire as well as an innocent and devotional disposition to support letting go and being renewed.

As we started the fire, my body became very centered and increased in temperature. I was especially aware this time of the flow of thoughts passing through my mind. As I witnessed them with sharp concentration I realized the type of thoughts in my head where not mine, the images where not mine, and the experiences and sensations where also not mine.

In the moment I increased the witness within myself, the fire began to increase in fullness and the flow of thoughts were distinctly recognizable from their source.

I began to experience, in humble sweetness, the pure role of my presence in the ceremony. I was “collecting” the impurities and negativity, passing them through my body and making a direct offering to the divine mother. She in return received the offering and amazed us with a golden light over the fire pit.

It was clear to me that the ceremony was linked to a certain frequency that the participants needed in order to release. In return, this frequency allowed for the display of the richness of the divine spirit in giving back a full and alive flower of vitality and new opportunities for the participants.

It was transcendental for me to unlock the part of me that performed the ceremony from the part of me that witnessed the ceremony as well as the part of me that transmuted in the ceremony. There were 3 distinctive currents interacting and giving a clear quality of sacredness and reverence to the moment. The 3 distinctive roles needed to be; impeccable and still, centered and friendly, as well as light and empty.

I was also aware that after the ceremony I needed to relax and go into deep meditation; remaining undisturbed and contained in the penetrating embrace of the smoke.

After my return to Ottawa I perceived an increment in my subtle perception and a natural detachment to what is not important. I moved to a deeper place of stillness and silence.

I bow to the power of the recitations and the willingness of the participants to facilitate within me an opportunity to be the facilitator of the subtle forces of the love, care and compassion of the Divine Mother.
