The Five Bodies & The House of Life:
An Exploration of the Alchemy of Transformation
Based upon the alchemy of ancient Egypt, China and India, and its Hermetic development in the west, this 4 month class will explore the Body/Mind/Spirit Complex that we as humans have. Through the lens of the 5 body theory each class will focus on an intellectual understanding interwoven with practical experiential work. The work will include:
- Understanding the KA (Etheric Body) & its use in healing, protection & the establishment of will.
- Traveling in the HADIT (Astral Body) & its use in exploring the personal & collective unconscious.
- Clearing the body of emotional trauma.
- Absorption of material energies and cosmic forces.
- Connecting with the KHU (Karmic Body) and exploring our accumulated personal knowledge.
- Using the KHU to access Collective (Akashic) Knowledge.
The journey will include learning to achieve effective trance states in order to access and integrate the bodies. The culmination will be a ritual of transformation in which we will connect with our SAHU (Immortal Essential Spirit) in order to begin the life long journey of seeking and attaining knowledge of the true self.
SA SEKHEM SAHU!
About Althea Northage-Orr’s Alchemy Studies:
Althea has studied Alchemy for 50 years. She began with Hermetics after her initiation at 21. In her early 30s Althea became a student of Robert E. Lee Masters and his Egyptian 5 Body System; upon which this work is based. She became a serious student of Taoist Alchemy in her late 20s. Althea is published in Livia Kohn’s “Internal Alchemy” where she wrote the concluding chapter on the parallels between Taoist and Western Alchemy. This class offering represents the cutting edge of her many years of work in understanding the universal architecture of human alchemy and its application for healing, growth and transformation.
