Phase Seven: Coagulation

Sacred Fires of Alchemy – 

Phase Seven: Coagulation

The Sacred Ordinary

Element: Spirit / Union of All Elements
Chakra: Crown

Alchemical Stage: Rubedo — The Reddening
Theme: Embodiment of wholeness, return as gold, Resurrection, Sovereignty

The Embodiment of the Sacred Self

At last, we arrive.  Not at the end — but at the return.  Coagulation is resurrection, synthesis, and sovereignty.  It is the golden weaving of all that has been burned, drowned, scattered, purified, and distilled.

This is the alchemy of embodiment —  When Spirit and Matter merge as One.  When the soul no longer seeks the heavens, but becomes the earth.  We become the living bridge between worlds.  The place where heaven walks as earth.  Where soul wears skin.

The Walk Home Through the Village

This is not the mountaintop moment.   Spirit settles into the body and feels at peace.  This is the walk home through the village — the return to the ordinary world, but no longer as the one who left.  We stop chasing the peak experiences and begin honoring the small ones. 

It’s moving through daily life with sacred eyes.
Shopping for groceries. Answering emails. Listening deeply. Laughing. Mourning. Loving. Being.  We remember that enlightenment isn't elsewhere — it's in the dishes, in the glass of wine at sunset, and the warm shower.  

Nothing outside has changed — but everything within has.

The soul no longer needs ceremony to feel sacred.  Now, every moment is ceremony.

This is the embodiment of Coagulation — Not escaping the world, but re-entering it transformed.  Not floating above life, but walking inside it — rooted, radiant, and real.  Sacredness in every step.  This is the miracle of life: that we are the soul AND the skin.

The Vessel Is Sealed

Coagulation is the moment the vessel is complete.

Like fine china emerging from its final firing, we are no longer porous or in process — we are whole.  Shaped by fire, refined by essence, and now capable of holding the holy in daily life.  The soul no longer flickers as a concept.  It radiates through presence, through action, through breath.

We walk as light — not to be seen, but to become seeing itself.

What We Experience in Coagulation

• The collapse of the false divide between self and other

• A taste of non-duality — I am not separate, I am the field

• Spirit no longer visited in moments — but lived in form

• A life of service, without self-erasure

• The embodied realization:

     “I am the hands and feet, the words and breath of Love.”

A Glimpse from my Journey

For me, Coagulation has come as:

• Living from the inside out, no longer seeking permission

• I no longer need recognition, validation, or acknowledgment — for what I’ve done, how I got here, or how I show up as me

• Knowing that life is happening through me, not to me

• Everything is sacred, symbolic, and metaphorical — I see through the eyes of one who recognizes the holiness of all, through all, in all

• Trusting the body as a vessel of the sacred

• Acting from alignment rather than effort

• The quiet joy of wholeness reclaimed

• I no longer expect perfection — I’m okay with failing forward

• I trust that I am human, and I am a woman becoming

• I embrace my divinity through my humanity — not in spite of it

Ritual: Embodied Light Activation

Stand barefoot on the earth or floor.  Light a candle above or near your head.  Close your eyes. Stretch your arms upward.  Speak aloud:

      “I am the union of Spirit and Form. I walk as Light.”

Bring your hands to your heart, your belly, your thighs, your feet — blessing each center of embodiment.  Bow gently and say:

      “Thy Will is Done. I am Whole. I am Here.”

Let your body become the altar.  Let your life become the prayer.

Prompt for Reflection

• How do I now embody what I’ve learned?

• What does it mean to live as the sacred in everyday life?

• Where do I experience union — within myself, with others, with the Divine?

• What does absolute love feel like when I am it?

Alchemical Wisdom

“Coagulation is the moment when matter becomes Spirit, and Spirit walks as matter.
Where the crown opens — not to escape, but to anchor the light below.”

You are not separate.
You are not waiting.
You are the myth, the fire, the gold.
You have returned.

Welcome home, luminous one.
