Step 3: Separation

• Separation: This is the stage where the soul separates from its lower nature and becomes aware of its true identity. It involves discerning between what is real and what is illusory, and choosing what is beneficial for oneself. This can be done through observation, analysis, or other practices that help one to develop wisdom and discernment.

• Some ways to practice separation in alchemy are:

• Meditation: Meditation is a technique that helps you calm your mind and focus on your inner self. It can help you detach from external distractions and noise, and tune in to your intuition and wisdom. Meditation can also help you clear your mind of negative thoughts and emotions, and create space for positive ones.

• Detoxification: Detoxification is a process that helps you cleanse your body of toxins and harmful substances that may affect your health and well-being. It can involve drinking plenty of water, eating organic foods, avoiding alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and processed foods, exercising regularly, sleeping well, and using natural remedies such as herbs, vitamins, minerals, and essential oils.

• Purification: Purification is a process that helps you cleanse your soul of attachments and patterns that no longer serve you. It can involve practicing forgiveness, gratitude, compassion, generosity, honesty, integrity, humility, patience, courage, faithfulness, loyalty, love, joyfulness, etc. Purification can also involve seeking guidance from higher sources such as God, angels, spirit guides, ancestors, etc.

• we have found that a wonderful purification practice to try is 1 box or pound of baking soda in a warm bath, lavender oil or tea to add to water [contact us directly for products to buy], we also suggest chamomile oil or tea as well added into the water.
