Are you familiar with the four elements?
You know, Fire, Earth, Air, and Water?
Starting today, and for the next three days I'll be introducing each of the four elements and how their transformational power are importance to the Accidental Pren-her.
First up--Fire!
The alchemical process associated with fire is called calcination. It is the first step in the transformational process, and is often the most painful.
According to The Emerald Tablet: Alchemy of Personal Transformation by Dennis William Hauck: "Calcination is the reduction of a substance to ashes, and it requires an intense flame to succeed.” Psychologically, calcination is the burning off of the Ego and its material attachments in order to reveal one’s true, inner, authentic self.
It is the first step that we all take along the path from Accidental Pren-her to spiritually conscious businesswoman and forms the foundation of our Inner Samurai.
Often called an activating or a life-changing event, calcination is a natural process that is brought on by a major life event such as a death of a loved one, major health crisis, a significant relationship shift, natural disaster, change of work situation, an accident, or spiritual awakening. It happens to all of us and most often when we least expect it.
The reason reason why a life-changing event is so important is that it generally ends up being the catalyst for starting up our small business.
How many of you have had a life-changing event?
An event so strong and all consuming that felt as if you were the proverbial Phoenix going up in flames only to be reduced to ashes?
If you’ve had an event, or are currently having one--please share it with our blog community for by doing so, we are all validated.
