How to Shift Negative Emotions with this 3-step Alchemy Formula
From the lens of a recovered 'feeling bad' addict. I thought if something was going 'wrong' in my life then everything is wrong. Finding my self in dark emotions and loops I barely could free myself from. I came to a point where I was tired of it. Tired of crying. Tired of complaining. Tired of being the victim. That is when the creator within me, emerged. There is a creator within you also. You are the Creator of your Universe (once you believe it).
Feeling good is a choice that forms from a habit ingrained in a belief system. Just as much as feeling bad is a choice that forms from a habit ingrained in a belief system. Some questions arise, what do you believe about yourself? Do you feel worthy of feeling good? Are you addicted to feeling bad? Before your ego jumps in and defends & *clicks off this blog post*, take a moment to really sit with those questions.
In this blog post, I'll share the 3 step approach to alchemize your emotions:

The Alchemy of Emotions
Think of your emotions as a truck on top a hill in the desert mountains of California. You are in control of the truck yet sometimes it feels like the truck already began moving downhill before you could grab it. With these three steps, you'll be able to stop the truck - shift your emotions to NEUTRAL - before it gets to the bottom of the hill.
From experience, it is difficult to go from feeling bad to feeling good in one shot. However, it is much easier to go from feeling bad to feeling neutral. This is where you can see alchemy at work in your life. Alchemy is the process of transformation from one energetic state to another. I used a mind, body, soul approach when formulating this step system for myself. Gratitude is for your Soul. Body movement is for your Body. Detaching with Love is for your Mind.
Here are the three steps to ALCHEMIZE 'negative' emotions and feelings that don't put you in a high vibration:
Express Gratitude
Being in a state of gratitude raises our frequency tremendously. The shift is palpable! There is always something to be grateful for. Your very existence is a miracle and NOT an accident. Your soul came into this world to laugh, play, learn and BE. From being grateful for your breath, mind, legs to the grass, sunlight, house and sidewalk, this attitude of gratitude is contagious. The simplicity and accessibility of gratitude is overlooked with more complex spiritual practices. But gratitude is by far the most POTENT one. Gratitude launches you into a more open, more loving and more fulfilled state of being - this is the key to alchemy.
Moving the Body
Let's go Quantum & zoom IN a bit. The entire world around us is made of atoms and molecules. These atoms are never still even though as 3D matter, they appear to be still. Simply they are vibrating at a rate that our physical senses cannot perceive. The same goes for the body it vibrates as well. By increasing the vibration of our body's atoms, it guides the body to shift into a new timeline to integrate new beliefs & release emotional stagnation. (More on quantum timelines and parallel realities later.)
Movement creates space within the body, which is the sanctuary for the Soul. By incorporating a movement practice, this will help integrate healing into the very atoms that make up your body. Biological science shares with us that exercise releases hormones that invoke good feelings and contentment like endorphins, serotonin and epinephrine. When you move the body - the mind follows.
Detach with Love
Acceptance is the highest form of detachment. Not needing things to be different. Not going over how it could have or should have played out. Not expecting someone else to act a certain way or do a certain thing. Through acceptance we bring an end to the emotional rollercoaster. This new found peace may be a shock to the ego but is necessary for the soul.
The higher Self detaches with love. The ego detaches with resentment. When we integrate more of our true nature, detaching with love becomes both easy and necessary. It frees the mind from loops that re-trigger the experience. This is how it plays out: ' I accept this moment for what it is. I accept my emotional response. I forgive myself for my emotional response. I love the opportunity that this discomfort affords me. I am appreciative for the mirror of experience.'
The Highest Form of Alchemy
Love is the highest form of alchemy. By practicing these 3 alchemy steps over time and space, the Soul is freed from karmic loops and cycles. Shifting your emotions into the higher state of love, releases the control of past experiences or future anticipation on how you feel in the present moment. Shifting to neutrality is moving towards the "next best feeling."

Reminder: You are not your emotions. You are simply observing your emotions.
