he sent Finnick waters diving deep once
again
we are out here breathing in that
beautiful prana baby we got a question
that came in someone asked could I make
a video on the secrets of alchemy and
how to become one when you wear a shirt
like this on an overcast day you are
becoming an alchemist no scrap that when
you say can I get a hello there when
your house has just been burnt down well
you’re an alchemist
okay now there is that great book The
Alchemist by Paulo Coelho fantastic book
when I say alchemist what comes into
your mind I don’t know I’m asking you
right alchemy emanates it goes back way
into ancient Egypt right where people
learn in the mystery schools how to turn
base metals into gold on a deeper level
when we talk of alchemy we’re not
talking about doing that we’re talking
about turning a really really bad day
into something to work with that will
stop you from well pulling out all of
your hair the secret of alchemy is
making the best out of the worst and not
allowing external events to govern your
internal condition now try saying that
when you when something really crazy
happens to you it’s not gonna work right
because talk is cheap so I’m gonna share
with you some secrets that have helped
me along my journey I say look when you
fall down are you the kind of person
that says why did I fall down or are you
the kind of person that says what am I
gonna do to get my ass back up can I get
a hello
oh there the first secret is to realize
what helped me that your mind yes your
mind yes is a garden okay
I say alchemy is the magic that happens
in between two states if you’re feeling
cold or you wear a sweater and now you
feel warm
so the sweater is the alchemist if you
are feeling self-destructive today well
you can actually change your thoughts to
change your world so now the thoughts
are a form of alchemy to stop you from
well ouch
slapping yourself on the face so when
you realize your mind is a garden you
can grow flowers or weeds you begin to
think wisely and that is what all
alchemists know that every thought
matters literally the second secret is
the Joker right the alchemist is the mad
artists because a lot of artists are all
about perfection the alchemist realizes
perfection is an illusion that’s why
they’re a bit crazy so they get the joke
right they get the life joke that we’re
trying to take ourselves so seriously
the alchemist is all about smiling right
you just realize that you’ve lost all
your money The Alchemist is the one who
stays thank you and you’re like why cuz
The Alchemist realizes by saying thank
you when you’ve lost all your money
you’re gonna stop yourself from doing
something very stupid to yourself okay
that’s a great form of alchemy the third
secret is all about learning how to
change the channel I say whatever you
focus on gross no scrap that I got a new
one
what you dwell on whatever you dwell on
swells write that rhyme kinda help me
make it rhyme okay what we dwell on
swells oh yeah we got it
whatever we dwell on swells I love it
right so because of that you got to
learn how to change the channel first
thing in the day I’m very conscious of
what kind of music I’m listening to
normally it’s a bit of Bob Marley some
reggae vibes some bossa nova even some
classical music I love hip-hop
maybe even some old-school hip-hop right
but I’m not listening to music which is
gonna well where people are swearing at
me all the time right first thing in the
day I don’t want to wake up to that you
shouldn’t have to either okay so that’s
all about changing the channel just to
see like the great scientist Nikola
Tesla said you want to understand the
secrets of the universe think in terms
of energy frequency and vibration so
changing the channel is realizing you
got to start changing what you’re tuning
into right because you turn into
whatever you are tuned into the fourth
secret of the alchemist is yeah you
guessed it chucking perfection out of
the window look go into nature I want
you to show me some straight lines I
want you to show me some really round
circles you won’t find it why because
nature is very organic ain’t nobody got
time for that but you see no because
once again we are all about trying to
strive for perfection so I’m in I’m
studying psychology over a decade ago
and my professor tells me perfectionism
is a curse I said excuse me
now I realize what he means so the
alchemist realizes look life isn’t a
bucket full of peaches no it’s more like
a bucket full of crabs and some peaches
right it’s a mixed bag so because of
that moving on to the fifth secret the
alchemists learns how to love themselves
a hundred percent because when hits
the fan when things go really well crazy
what happens you got to learn you got to
learn how to move that’s why yoga so
powerful moving into your body because
it’s gonna happen oh yeah it’s gonna
happen right so you got to learn how to
move with AB and the flow of life it’s
so easy to say love yourself love
yourself but how do we do it I say go to
the place where you find your greatest
power for me it’s nature so once again
the magic that happens is whoa breathing
in that beautiful prana right and that
just lifts my mood up but more so learn
how to drive this body vehicle we have
you see there’s a reason why the ancient
masters practice yoga because each pose
was a metaphor for life life is gonna
twist you around you got to learn how to
bend you got to learn how to dodge you
got to learn how to do a handstand when
things get well really rough okay and
then just go about your day like nothing
happened
number six is to realize the law of
rhythm right the alchemists knows one of
the greatest secrets high tide low tide
yin-yang everything can’t be smooth
sailing because life isn’t all smooth
even the road
well you have a thorn right that is life
so The Alchemist is patient you Kotov
eight patients by realizing the cycles
and the seasons of your life basically
right good days bad days deal with it
number seven is to prepare for the storm
because it’s gonna come
oh boy is gonna come and when it comes
you’re gonna know because it’s gonna
blow you over so I always say what’s
helped me is not to prepare Daffy not to
think everything is going to be amazing
all the time right prepare myself I’ve
got to prepare myself for really bad
days right when things don’t go so well
how do I do that
by realizing looking at a rose and say
oh yeah there’s thorn right there that’s
what makes the row so beautiful that
contrasts baby number eight is to stop
overwhelming yourself you see the
alchemist realizes you got to take one
step at a time right the alchemists
doesn’t give themselves so much work to
do the alchemists never overwhelms
themselves they paced themselves because
the alchemist realizes they are in a
marathon not a sprint
so once again when you take this
pressure off yourself now it’s a lot
easier to create the magic you want to
manifest when you’re placing all this
pressure on yourself
well when going anywhere at all number
nine is what I call the fun factor right
there’s a reason why some people are
smiling all the time you don’t even know
what’s just happened to them you don’t
even want to know
right because you got to realize that
fun is what we are as children a lot of
us were playing in the swings until
someone says get your
back inside we don’t want to do that
right so everything I do as an alchemist
I’m all about putting the fun back into
it because with fun you take a very
light-hearted approach but also you’re
not so hard on yourself right you don’t
want to hit yourself over the head with
a cricket bat not fun
number ten is to realize that true
alchemy is when the masculine principle
and the feminine principle collide and
well you have a great beautiful child
right it’s that union the fusion of
these super powerful forces coming
together literally right and it’s
beautiful
work with someone else I always say I’m
not alone here I connect with a feminine
principle every single day and the
masculine principle I surround myself
with people that help me I can’t do
everything by myself
so the alchemists always realizes they
have to find someone else to work the
magic with work the alchemy with and
lastly the eleventh secret of the
alchemists and how to become one is to
realize that every single day is a new
adventure that is why the alchemist is
the mad artist right because look the
alchemist is all about experimenting
whoops what is this – who knows let’s
try it out see what happens who cares
who cares who cares can I get a hello
there but the alchemist doesn’t usually
talk that fuss right so once again the
secret of alchemy is learning how to
create the magic in between two states
it is the magic in between two states
learning that whatever happens on the
outside
you have the power to change it from the
inside because what is taking place
outside is nothing more and a reflection
of what is taking place within yourself
so there you have it
I’m a beautiful day have fun yeah
