Alchemy is the ancient practice in which ‘metallurgy’, medicine, chemistry, religion and mysticism were blended together in an effort to achieve several goals - the main one, being to transform base metals into ‘precious’ metals, was symbolic of the alchemist’s hope of bringing the Universe closer to its highest potential - physically and spiritually.

Other altered states of consciousness are induced voluntarily, such as ‘recreational’ and prescription drug use and the drinking of alcohol (to an inebriated state).
AMULETS
The wearing of amulets was practiced by all the great ancient civilizations, and especially that of Ancient Egypt from which so many symbols emerge. Centuries of magical faith and experience support the belief that these legendary luck-bringers can attract good luck or avert misfortune.

Crystals and gemstones have been used both as amulets. Given their natural beauty, rarity and value, crystals and precious stones in the ancient cultures were believed to possess intrinsic virtues which radiated their energies to its owner or wearer.

Bodies of the Aura
- The Etheric Body is the first layer. It has the same structure as the physical body, including all the anatomical parts and organs. The web-like structure of the etheric body is in constant motion and to the clairvoyant vision, sparks of bluish-white light move along its energy-lines throughout the entire physical body It extends from one quarter of an inch to two inches from the physical body.

It appears to be coloured clouds of fine substance in continual fluid motion and extends from one inch to three inches from the physical body.
- The Mental Body is the third layer. It extends beyond the emotional body and is composed of still finer substances, all of which are associated with thought and mental processes. This body usually appears as a bright yellow light radiating about the head and shoulders and extending around the whole body. It extends three to eight inches from the physical body.

It looks rather like the negative of a photograph. It is the blueprint or perfect form for the etheric layer to take and it extends from one and a half to two feet from the physical body.

When we experience this intense familiarity with an unfamiliar place, it is our spirit’s memories of a past life. When the spirit memories build in the subconscious are stirred so deeply by sights from a whole other incarnation, those memories emerge into the conscious mind. This same kind of déjà vu applies to people as well. We all know people who have seemed familiar the moment we meet them.
- The second kind of déjà vu consists of a moment in which every single detail, from what you are doing and saying to what you are wearing, the surrounds and what you are thinking are so familiar that you are absolutely positive that you are re-living an exact duplicate of a moment from your past.

A totem is an entity that protect and oversee groups of people such as clans, tribes and families.
Totem beliefs have been present within societies throughout the world, particularly in countries such as Australia, Asia, Africa, Eastern and Western Europe, the Americas and the Arctic polar region.
Many people today choose to adopt a personal totem which has special meaning to them. This can be an animal, symbol or any emblem of personal, spiritual significance.
TRANCE
A trance is a condition in which there is an actual, dramatic, measurable drop in the physical body’s vital signs, an equally measurable decrease in mental activity and a complete, temporary halt to all voluntary movement.
A trance is a state of altered consciousness.
TRANSFIGURATION
Transfiguration is when a spirit’s physical characteristics are superimposed over a person’s features (usually a ‘medium’ during trance) which presents an image of the spirit entity.

VORTEX
Vortexes are most commonly seen in nature in the form of tornados and water spouts – masses of air or water spinning with such speed and force that they are able to pull any objects in their path into the void or ‘eye’ at the centre.
These spiraling masses of energy also exist in swirling vortexes of the earth’s power, usually unseen but dramatically perceived via sudden gravitational anomalies, seemingly impossible light and sound distortions, unexplainable contorted plant life and human effects ranging from dizziness to sudden deep introspection to euphoria.
According to some studies, there are ‘in-flow’ vortexes where the energy flows from space towards the Earth – and ‘up-flow’ vortexes in which the energy flows out of the Earth towards space.
