What do Woods really want? What are they really looking for? They want to do great things that leave the world a better place. Woods need to do great things and want these things to benefits others. But what if no one recognizes what they're doing? Can they recognize their own greatness? "Recognition… It's that feeling that there's a reward for all your hard work… like someone is seeing the greatness of Wood. It's the constant , unwavering pursuit of greatness… but what's the point of making something great if all your friends and loved ones aren't better off for it?"

Can you ask yourself what you REALLY want and not what everyone else wants you to want? The answer is not necessarily logical… it's your heart's desire. "In the big scheme of things, Alchemy isn't about what you truly want. It's bigger than that. But it's our wanting, our lusting, our striving that gets in the way of doing our Alchemy. So if we have that longing, it's going to interfere with our ability to fly free in life." By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram What do you REALLY want? The second step of Stage One of Alchemy – ask deeper questions – what do you REALLY want? What is your curriculum of this lifetime (the Nine Palaces) Immortality The story of meeting an immortal Asking the question without being influenced by your family, friends, coworkers or society in general What kinds of things does each Element want? Thought Quotes: "The longing is really clinging to something that we can't seem to fulfill." "It's ironic actually that the thing we want most is best achieved when we stop wanting it so badly and start allowing it." "You can think of it as your destiny. You came to have the experience."

Can you trust enough to take the next step in the darkness? Alchemy for Water people is having the ambition to get to get where you want to go but having no idea how to get there. It's just about trusting in the moment that you can take the next step. "Water may be willing to face the darkness, and what helps them the most is to rely on their ability to Trust … trust life and the universe, and know that whatever comes their way, good, bad, intense, whatever it is, they will know what to do about it in that moment." By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram What do Waters fear? Focus on Career The path of Wisdom and experiences Intensity and intense experiences Mattering in life Anticipation – the scariest thing of all!

And that's where Waters hang." "Out of all the Elements, Water is the most varied… any one thing we say about a Water does not apply to every Water person." "The differences are whether Water is more still or moving. So it's stillness vs. movement." Links in this Episode: The Alchemy Learning Center — a new online community of learning.

Are your monsters your friends or foes? Alchemy for Metal people is like the children's book Where the Wild Things Are… where the ultimate lesson is to not only confront your demons but to embrace them and be friends with them. "Metals in general have a permeable boundary… meaning that things infiltrate their exterior really easily. We call this having clouds on the outside." By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram What do Metals fear? Metals are attracted to dark things… dark humor, the macabre, life after death. They're easily affected by the outside world. They may have fear of being overtaken and lost. They're fascinated with old things and history. Hang onto old hurts and potentially harboring anger. Forgiveness is the advanced virtue of Metal. Freedom is the goal. Thought Quotes: "Harboring these gripes against people from your past ties you down. They're shackles on your ankles. They're the ballasts that keep you from flying on your magic carpet ride in life.There's an innocence and wonder that belongs to Earth, and there's this trust in goodness and truth." "Metal just wants to be free. Free to roam. Free to be who they truly are and not have to fit into society's rules about social politeness and niceness." "Real forgiveness is truly letting go and, what's even harder, truly forgetting." Links in this Episode: The Alchemy Learning Center — a new online community of learning.

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram What do Woods fear? What are the monsters in the dark for Fire? Fear of facing your own self-deception and fear of being alone Fear of nobody loving the real me Thought Quotes: "Ultimately the big monster was the fear of being ostracized." "Once you love yourself like that, then the love of your life will show up because anyone who loves themselves and life that much attracts wonderful people to them."

Alchemy for Wood people is the ultimate challenge, the final frontier – spiritual enlightenment and immortality. "First and foremost, in order to pursue greatness, there has to be a base level of safety in your life. You have to feel like you're not in survival mode." By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram What do Woods fear? What are the monsters in the dark for Wood? Fear of not succeeding or fear of being too successful Death – not fulfilling your mission Surprises – the goal is to eliminate them Not wanting to revisit the past The win-win is: enlightenment and redemption Thought Quotes: "It's about doing your best at all times and being the best person you can be at all times. Even when you make mistakes, you don't focus on them. You like to focus on what did go well." "A Wood person's perspective on walking through that unknown might be: Why would I look into the darkness where I may have to revisit all the monsters of my past?" "Entering the Mystery Gate is about your own enlightenment fundamentally. It's about how to make yourself and your understanding of yourself even better… even greater if you need that word. It's the first step to a commitment to your own growth and self-cultivation." Links in this Episode: The Alchemy Learning Center — a new online community of learning.

Fear – the other F Word – fear fuels our Alchemical cauldron of discord Human fighting over resources… survival of the fittest, survival more challenging on your own… Thought Quotes: "There are times in life when the outer world is demanding our attention so strongly, it's like knocking on our door. So even the monk sitting in meditation on a mountain somewhere is going to have a hard time ignoring what's happening. Would that monk not know that the world is in a global pandemic if that person had any connection with anyone or any news source?… When I was on Mount Hua Shan… We stopped halfway up the mountain at this temple and stayed the night. They had a dish there… they were totally tapped into the news… "It seems like we're in an Alchemical cauldron, the roiling and boiling of all these things, all these things in the recipe of crazy chaos. It is an Alchemical cauldron going on of transformation. Change is coming." "Whether you agree with these changes happening in our society or not… these changes are very rapid and that's the definition of Alchemy. It's rapid change. So in a way, it shouldn't be surprising that on the day that George Floyd died, something very powerful happened. The world shifted on its axis. The desire for change was awakened in us. It went all over the world… and it's still rippling." Links in this Episode: COMING SOON! The Alchemy Learning Center! — a new online community of learning.
