Dear Alchemists,
During the past few weeks, we have been exploring awareness as a doorway of alchemy.
The moment we recognize a dense emotion, a limiting belief, or an old energetic imprint rising within us, transformation has already begun. But awareness alone can feel tender—especially when we don’t yet know how to support ourselves through what has surfaced.
This is where permission slips become sacred.
In Chapter 4 of my book, Alchemic Healings, I share how permission slips act as bridges – tools that help your mind and energy system soften enough to allow healing, release, and realignment to occur. The tool itself isn’t the healer.
You are.
The tool simply helps you enter the state where healing becomes possible.

Bashar describes permission slips beautifully, and my friend Mike, who is also a contributing author to my book, offers a clear and grounded explanation of this concept in his blog:

Once we are aware of what is rising within us, these permission slips help us transmute density into clarity, contraction into flow, and old stories into truth.
Below you will find some examples of permission slips. We will continue with this topic for the remainder of 2025. If you have any questions on the permission slips mentioned below, please reach out to me via Instagram (@alchemichealings) or via email (alchemichealings@gmail.com)
Reiki – Returning to Your Natural State of Flow
What it is:
Reiki is a Japanese energy-healing modality that channels universal life-force energy to restore balance, clear stagnation, calm the nervous system, and harmonize mind, body, and spirit.
It is gentle, intelligent, and works on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and energetic.
Reiki reminds the body that healing is already happening within.
Meditation & Breathwork – The Reset Button of the Soul
What it is:
Meditation brings awareness back into the present moment, while breathwork uses conscious breathing to regulate the nervous system, open the heart, and move stagnant energy out of the body.
Together, they anchor you, soften resistance, and create space for new frequencies to flow in.
EFT Tapping – Releasing Emotional Charge from the Body
What it is:
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) combine tapping on acupuncture points with verbal acknowledgment of emotions, allowing stuck energy and conditioned responses to unwind.
It calms the amygdala, reduces anxiety, and helps the body complete old emotional loops.
Access Bars® – Clearing Mental Clutter
What it is:
Access Bars® involves lightly touching 32 points on the head that correspond to different areas of life (money, communication, control, creativity, etc.).
This gentle technique helps release limiting beliefs, mental noise, and subconscious programs — like clearing old files off a hard drive.
Plant Allies – Earth’s Heart Medicine
What they are:
Plant allies are herbal, botanical, and ceremonial partners that support emotional, spiritual, and cellular healing.
They can be simple (like chamomile or lavender) or deeply transformative (like ceremonial plants).
In the second half of my book, I explore ayahuasca and psilocybin: two powerful plant teachers who guided me through profound layers of release and remembrance.
But they are not the only allies.
There are countless plants that soothe the heart, awaken intuition, and gently bring us back to balance.
Plants whisper:
“You are supported. You are held. You can let go.”
MTT – Meridian Tapping Technique (by Dr. Teshna)
What it is:
MTT combines tapping on specific energy meridians with conscious intention to release old beliefs, inherited patterns, emotional residue, and energetic blocks.
It is precise, powerful, and deeply aligned with your highest self.
MTT doesn’t just release —it recalibrates.
Reflection Prompt
What emotion or belief surfaced for me this week?
Which permission slip feels aligned to help me soften into transformation?
Trust your body. Trust your knowing.
Awareness opens the door.
Permission slips help you walk through it.
Mastery begins with both.
Bridge to 2026
Next year, we’ll begin exploring Hermetic philosophy, drawing from The Kybalion and The Emerald Tablet. These timeless teachings on energy, alchemy, and reality creation will guide how we shift, expand, and step into the versions of ourselves that already exist.
I look forward to the next steps of our journey together.
With much love as always,
