About Carpe DM

---

I help transmute conditioned cultural toxicity in the form of judgments, fear, aggression, etc. into opportunities for Self-Awareness and mental, physical, and spiritual growth.
-
By learning about the natural alchemical phases happening all around and within our biology we begin to acknowledge the limiting patterns in our communication with others and more impactfully with ourselves, and the consequences this has on our expression and experience of life.
-
I help my clients identify what phase of the alchemical process they are experiencing, and how that applies to all aspects of their lives metaphorically:

1. Calcination - the call to action or wake-up call or burnt-out recognition that 'you got to change some things'.

2. Dissolution - After the wake-up call, you are left to 'process' all of the emotions that have been stirred up. Depending on your emotional awareness, there may be a lot and it may be 'uncomfortable'.  The level of suppression/repression of any emotions will impact our ability to progress to a higher phase increasing our probability of repeating another 'wake-up call' event.  This may not be an ideal time to make 'important' life choices.

3. Separation - A deepening of understanding what the emotions from the dissolution phase are trying to convey to you. We start to acknowledge what pulls us toward Love, Grace, Gratitude, etc., and what takes us toward Fear, Separation, Guilt, etc.  Allowing us to process and understand the connection to these emotions rather than defaulting to conditioned coping mechanisms, which again, causes us to stagnate and ultimately repeat previous phases.

4. Conjunction - You have now been able to acknowledge your gifts and liabilities, with clarity and intention through a deeper understanding of your true nature, you start to take actions in alignment with a newly formed identity of your higher self.

Empowered - Courageous

5. Fermentation - Through these new empowered actions you learn more about your conditioned judgments, assumptions, biases, etc., and how it may be hard to let some of these go.  The deep identification you may hold with the egoic self, the Title, the House, etc.  The metaphorical death or the 'egoic death'.

6. Distillation - Further cultivating and refining your awareness/consciousness to achieve higher states of being peace, love, joy, etc.

7. Coagulation - the solidifying of habits in alignment with higher states in the service of others (THE gold).
-
Understanding the link to these 7 phases and the impact they have on the 5 core foundations of my mindfulness framework - conditioning, awareness, beliefs, actions, and time engagement, rather than management, creates an empowered way to work with life and the alchemical process that is already happening within and around you.
-
Without awareness or help, life is happening to us and we tend to stagnate in one of the phases, only to backslide and repeat the same phases again and again until we have had enough or some life-changing event "wakes" us up.
