How to Use Alchemy to Create the Impossible — with Giselle Jennaway | Ep 85

If you’ve thrown everything at the one thing that won’t move and can document every time you fall back into the same hole, this is a structure for creating what you want without fixing the past first.

The people who find Giselle Jennaway have usually done the courses and read the books. They can map their patterns in detail, and one thing still won’t move. Giselle, a naturopath, homeopath, hypnotherapist, PSYCH-K® facilitator and apprentice in alchemy, calls it “our own personal impossible.”

The first time Celinne watched Giselle teach, she recognised the medicine wheel from seven years of apprenticing in Andean shamanic energy work. On June 12th, Giselle helped Celinne square the circle on her life. By June 29th, something Celinne had buried in the graveyard of her own dreams existed in the physical world.

In this conversation, Giselle shares the two questions that expose what you believe you’ll lose by getting what you want, and the four gates a creation passes through before it holds.

ON THIS EPISODE:

05:15 Hear alchemy defined in plain language: how consciousness gets from in here to out there

KEY IDEAS:

✨ Attention writes the problem deeper: Giselle compares it to four-wheel driving: once you’re sunk in mud, spinning the tires sinks you further. When a problem has all your attention, she says, it gets written deeper into your experience.

✨ Two questions expose the price you think you’ll pay: “What do I believe I will lose if I become this person who has this thing?” and “What do I believe I will have to do that I currently get to avoid doing?” The answers are the secondary gains that keep capable people hedging at the gate of certainty, sometimes for decades.

✨ Between deciding and having is doing: “You can’t just sit on your meditation cushion and wish.” Between the second and third gates, Giselle says, you take obvious actions, intuitive actions and actions led by the synchronicities that unfold, and you keep going until it’s real.

✨ The conclusion decides whether a creation lasts: At the fourth gate, deciding the result means “I am worthy after all” ties it back to the wound, and Giselle says the creation dissolves. The conclusion that keeps it is “I must be the one doing this.”
