Hello Reader,

Have you ever noticed how much of your life is spent thinking about how stuck you are in your own life or in a particular aspect of your life... work, relationship, health, or weatlh... ? Think about this for a moment...

What often happens is we end up doing everything possible to fix it! We find ourselves pushing through exhaustion. Pushing past what our body's are saying. Pushing to get where we want to go. But something is in the way... perhaps distracting us from our true mission or even blocking us from "success."

There's a name for these obstacles, blocks, or distractions in Alchemical Chinese Medicine. It's called Rebellious Qi.

Your body has a natural flow — energy moving in the direction it's meant to go. But when you feel like you have to fight for what you want, you create resistance. And that resistance becomes what we call Rebellious Qi — counter-flow Qi, energy moving in the wrong direction.

In the physical body, it's easy to see. The Stomach channel naturally flows downward — you chew, you swallow, you digest. But when that flow reverses, you get heartburn, acid reflux, energy going up when it should be going down. That's Rebellious Qi in action.

But here's where it gets interesting: it's not just physical.

Think about how many of your thoughts are Rebellious Qi thoughts — all the financial reasons you can't do something. The health issues. The relationships that feel like they're preventing you from getting what you want. The career challenges. The feeling that the timing is wrong, the world isn't cooperating, and you have to fight for everything.

These are all Rebellious Qi. Energy fighting against its own natural direction.

We talked about this recently — here's a quick 3-minute explanation:

Stage One of the Nine Stages of Alchemy works with Rebellious Qi — directly, in your body. Not by adding more effort, but by helping your Qi move the way it was always meant to. When Rebellious Qi releases, life gets easier. Not because your circumstances changed, but because you did.

That's what we mean when we say Alchemy creates ease.

If this resonates with something you've been feeling, we created a 6-month program around exactly this work. It's called Alchemy Immersion, and it starts March 6th.

P.S. Not sure what "Alchemical healing sessions" actually are? We get it - this work is different from anything else out there. The short version: we use specific point combinations from Daoist lineage to work with your body's energy and create real, felt transformation. It's not talk therapy, it's not energy work in the modern sense - it's ancient medicine adapted for modern life. If you're curious, the Alchemy Immersion page has more details.
