A Message from The Alchemy Collective

Partial Transcript from Alchemy Global Meditation September 1, 2020
Excerpts from The Alchemy global meditation on September 1, 2020 (edited for ease of reading)
“We are The Alchemy. We are a group of Light Beings, Ascended Masters, Angelics and other Races who come at the time of transition for a planet and a people.”
We remind you of the importance of daily connecting to Source Energy. To doing something each day that is peaceful or joyful for you. To standing on the earth and connecting with Gaia. To maybe hold a crystal, or sing a song… Anything that brings you into your state of Presence. Align and allow Source Energy to flow through you. Remember, all your Guides, the Alchemy, many Beings of Light and Ascended Masters are here at this time to support you in many ways.
We are here to support but it can not all be done for you. You must make conscious choices.
To bring in the Light. To choose positivity. To see the Joy and Good in things. To share Kindness. You must consciously choose your words and your actions, and align them with your Heart. For the more that you can stay out of judgment the more you can stay in the Love Vibration. The Joy, the Peace, the Hope, the Peacefulness. The Stillness within, no matter what is happening around you. The better it will be for You, for Mother Gaia, for the Collective, for All-That-Is.
This is the time you contracted to be here for. You are in the midst of the Awakening. Some of you call it the Shift, some of you call it the Ascension. There are many labels. But you are in the midst of it. And yes, it is not as you anticipated it would be. And we would say: “Get over it”! For much has to release for the change to happen. And the change is happening. It’s just not all the sunny roses you might have thought it would be. Each of You is an important pillar, an anchor of Light, and Love, and Peace, and Joy.
Each Human on Planet Earth has the ability to change the energy around them and within the Collective Consciousness. Yes, You are that powerful!
But when you come together as a group with us or other groups of Light and Love, there is even more strength and power that can be accessed… Resulting in raising the vibrations, in soothing the energies, and allowing more Peace and Light to come through. This is why we meet and co-create every week.
And this is why the Gatherings are so vital and important.
For when you can come together consciously for days in a row, whether it would be in the physical ideally, and in this instance also online, we can do more together, if you are willing to hold the frequency and give that time… The time while you are in human form to co-create and assist the Divine Plan… And this is what we do weekly. Whether you are listening to the recording or are with us live. This is part of the Shift. And it benefits You as individuals and of course as the Collective.
Know that when you join our Global Meditations or listen to the recordings, you are adding to the frequencies, to the Love and the Light. And all of you contribute. It is not that one contributes more than the others. You are all equally important. You each make a difference with Your Light, Your Intention, Your Frequency. It matters not whether you are just brand new to this or have been working with us or others for a long time. It is all about the present moment. And it doesn’t matter what you did before. It matters in this perfect moment, as you bring in this energy of Love and as it flows through you…
The White Diamond Light is the base energy, it is the next Wave of the Ascension, it carries the Codes of Remembrance. But it is far more powerful when it comes through You in Human form because it means you are agreeing to this. And yes there are many places now on the Earth where it is just coming through on a regular basis, portals and energy spots. But when it comes through You in Human form with your conscious consent it is so much more powerful.
When you bring in the Diamond Light it benefits you on the human level every time you do this. For the benefit is always for the individual Soul as well as the Collective and Mother Gaia. And feel as this White Diamond Light enters your crown chakra.
We will say out of all the Gatherings we have conducted this one is the most critical,
and that is due to the time on your Planet and what is happening.
And so we ask You to look inside your Hearts, to sit in meditation, and we call you forth if you are able to join us. For the more of you that come forth online or even in the physical, the more that we will be able to positively influence the Potentials for your Planet. And we will not share what we hope to accomplish, that is not how we do this. But you must be able to adhere to our requirements of setting aside the time of not being disturbed, of not working. And you can find all of these on our website. www.thealchemycollective.org But if you can, we invite you to be part of this, for this is the time that you have come for. This is the time of the Planetary Awakening and Shift. But it does not happen without the Human participation! It does not just magically occur as much as you might like it to. You are part of it and that is why it has always been unknown as to when and what the Shift will be.
There are many potentials, many timelines. So we ask you… we ask you if you know others that should be a part of this, our Tuesday Global Meditations and this Divine Service? If you are unable to be there but you are able to help sponsor someone else then please let us know, let Ana-La-Rai and the Ground Crew know, so that we can have others be present if you can not but you have the financial means to support others.
Unfortunately we would say, the level of work that needs to be done requires the time frame we have put aside… it needs the five to six days to reach the frequencies to do the work.
We honour you more than you can imagine.
We know many of you see us or the Guides or the Angels or the Ascended Masters as ones you perceive as so much further advanced in higher frequencies. But this is incorrect. Each one of you is one of those. You have simply forgotten. And we would say You are the heroes. You are the ones that have chosen to incarnate on Planet Earth at this time. We are holding and assisting on the other side, but You, You are the ones who have chosen to be here, and You being here at this time makes far more difference then us on the other side.
For You chose to be here, You can anchor and bring through more because You are in physical form, you are consciously choosing. Does this make sense to you beloveds?
This is why we always say we can not save you, that is not our job. You are the ones who have come forth to make the shift. We are the ones supporting. And you have always thought it has been You supporting us, but it is the opposite… It is we supporting You. For You chose to be here. To be on the ground when the energies were needed, when it was the time of the Great Awakening, the Shift. You chose to be in Human form, to be an anchor, to be someone that said yes! And so ALL of us deeply, deeply honour You.
And we remind You in the most loving way at this critical time on your Planet, to not get lost in the 3D drama. To not get lost in the 3D stories and the illusions. All of the attention you give to who is right or wrong, to all the things happening right now, this takes away from your ability and your focus on Peace and Love and Hope and Joy. And nothing is more powerful right now. Do You feel our vibration, do You feel what we mean?
And as strange as this will sound, and we know this is a cliche and there are many songs about it. This is what the Awakening is about beloved ones. But we will say to You that Love is always the answer. We do not mean romantic love. We mean the Vibrations of Love. Love is always the answer. And it is so easy in your world now to be filled with hatred. It is so easy to judge and be filled with disgust of what has happened and how you have been manipulated and fooled. Let it go. You came here, You came at this time to be an anchor of Light and Love. To be a beacon of hope. To be an anchor for Peace.
And so once again we say: Please, please do not get lost in your 3D life. Do not get lost in the drama and the news. And know that much of what is being put out in your news media we will go so far as saying much of it is false. There are truths starting to come, but those are pretty unbearable. And so we ask to simply go in and feel what resonates in Your Heart.
For Truth is a vibration You will always experience.
There is so much noise, and all of this drama is the noise to keep You distracted. It is the noise to keep You distracted by those beings who do not want the Great Awakening and Shift to occur.
So know that we love You beyond measure. That we honour You. You come forward You brave beautiful Beings of Light, You courageous Beings to come forth and forget who You are. To go through the struggles of Humanity. To see the sorrow and experience the pain and the judgment and the wounds that you have not yet healed. And to still agree to anchor the Light. To still agree to find the Peace and Stillness within when You don’t remember Your own Magnificence. What powerful amazing Beings of Light You are! Every single one of You listening to this. Every single one of You! And we would tell You it is the same for everyone You meet on your Planet. Some are just more lost than others. But they all came for the same reason. To be here now, to be a part of it. And you perceive that some of them are interfering, and they are simply lost. They are simply lost.
But, we need You.
The World and Gaia and the Collective needs You. Your conscious choice to be an anchor. Your conscious choice to come and join our co-creations on Tuesdays, Your conscious choice to add Your Love to other groups. To raise your children and grandchildren with Love. To support each other in kindness. We need You to not buy into the drama. And we invite You if You can to join our October Gathering for it is a critical time on Your Planet. And we need all the Light Bearers and the Light Lovers that we can find.
We Are The Alchemy.

Prosperity is our natural birthright. However, the challenges of living in a dualistic world often obscure this divine truth. The good news is that with the current shifts in energies, new opportunities are arising for individuals to reconnect with their inherent prosperity. With these shifts, a new, more expansive definition of prosperity is emerging, one that transcends the limitations of viewing prosperity solely as material wealth. This broader perspective understands prosperity as being the embodiment of our magnificence in all aspects of life. Prosperity is expansion, unlimited, that energy of creation and manifestation, and of course your own divinity. All these vibrational states contribute to the true essence of your divine abundance. Therefore, prosperity includes not only financial abundance but also encompasses health, relationships, creativity, and spirituality. It's about embracing our divine selves and realizing our true potential in every area of our lives. An easy way to tap into the energy of prosperity is to cultivate a friendship with appreciation. Appreciation is like a magic wand that helps us raise our vibration and attract positivity. Developing a true practise of appreciation further amplifies the vibration of prosperity around us. When we feel loved and accepted, which are core tenets of appreciation, our vibration naturally rises. Appreciation for ourselves, for others, for anything we can feel appreciation for, aligns us with the energy of prosperity and enhances the overall vibrational resonance of prosperity in our lives. This new way of looking at prosperity reminds us that the energetic opportunities before us are unprecedented! Embrace this higher definition of prosperity on your journey to embody more of your magnificent self and dive into new waves of abundance in all its forms.

Within spiritual practices, there is a belief in the power to infuse personal items with positive energies. This concept, often associated with creativity and divine flow, involves infusing objects like artwork or crystals with intentions of hope, upliftment, and healing. Crystals hold energetic properties that can be harnessed for support, energetic work, or healing. By setting intentions and focusing energy, individuals can charge crystals with specific purposes, such as promoting peace, enhancing clarity, or boosting confidence. Artists of all kinds often find themselves in a state of flow, a transcendent state where creativity seems to effortlessly pour forth. This state is a connection to the divine, where the energies of inspiration and creation are imbued into the artwork. Combining these concepts of flow and intention, one can create artwork that serves not only as a visual expression but also as a vessel for positive energies. Each brushstroke or carved form can be infused with intentions of healing, hope, or upliftment. Likewise, incorporating charged crystals into creative work can further enhance its energetic qualities, creating a powerful tool for personal support and growth. The image for this blog is one such energetic art piece. This Sparkles of Love painting was charged for a client with the energies of joy, healing, peace, passion, and creativity to use in their healing practice with clients as it is also designed to energetically resonate with what the client in the session needs most. This process of infusing personal items with positive energies requires mindfulness and intentionality. It is a practice that invites us to tap into our creativity and connect with the divine flow of the universe. Through this practice, we can cultivate a sense of hope, upliftment, and healing in our lives, using our creativity as a gateway to higher energies and deeper spiritual connections. As we create, let us remember the power we hold to infuse our creations with positive energies, transforming them into sources of personal support and upliftment. May we embrace the divine flow of creativity, allowing it to guide us towards healing and growth. Kay, Sparkles Team Inspired by Sparkles of Art
Welcome to the joyful side of life! Joy is a superpower, buzzing with high-energy vibes that lights us up inside and out, making everything sparkle a little brighter. Joy is beyond happiness. It’s exuberant, it’s ecstatic. It’s hard to contain because there is such a strong flow of energy with it. In short, joy is experiencing the energetic bliss of source and the divine. So in celebrating the magic that joy brings to our lives, here are some ways you can boost your day with joy. Start Your Day with Dance First thing in the morning, engage with this kind of fun movement for a minute or two to set the energies of joy, positive momentum, and creativity for your day. Dancing is one of the fastest ways to lift your mood, release stress, and raise your vibration, and it’s so easy to do! Creativity Opens You Up Open to flow, open to inspiration, open to your higher levels of self and more! But this isn’t why we are creative, we do it because it feels good. Creativity doesn’t need to be structured or formal. In fact, the more free flowing you are with it, likely the more fun you will have and the more it will benefit you vibrationally. How do you express your creativity? Here are some quick ideas: - Finger paints, sidewalk chalk, or toilet paper roll sculptures are easy, inexpensive ways to engage with creativity and your inner preschooler. - Make meal prep fun! Listen to music or funny podcasts, dance or sing while you move, and overall engage with food prep as an activity of flow instead of a chore. If you like to bake, make time for it. If you are short on time, split the recipes so you can prep one day and complete the next. If you will cook or bake more often if someone else does the eating, get creative about how and where to share your creations. - Add colour! Whether it’s with your accessories, your make-up, or your spreadsheet themes, adding colours can brighten your day, improve your mood, and express your playful side. Shake Your Sillies Out Remember feeling silly when you were a kid? Playtime and giggling will open your heart, lift your spirits, and make life fun. It’s ok to not take yourself seriously for a moment and this post is your reminder to do just that! If it has been a while since you’ve expressed your sillies, here are some ideas to inspire you: - Crack kind jokes that make you laugh. - Stop, literally, and smell the roses, or lilacs, or whatever happens to be in season. - Remember when we talked about baking? Do those cookies need eyes? Yes. Yes they do. - Sing. Seriously. Try it! Sing off-key loud, proud, and on purpose. - Don’t “dance”, wiggle! Dance like a puppet! Dance like a character from an old cartoon. - Don’t just walk or jog, skip or flail your arms. The bigger, the better. - Wear a costume to do chores. Why? Why not. - Take inspiration from your childhood. What were your favourite activities? Who were your favourite entertainers? Mine were Mr. Dressup, Robert Munsch, and the Muppets. Colours, costumes, and outrageous comedy were all key components, so it’s no wonder that live performance is a big part of what brings me joy today as an adult. What is this for you? Share your joys and sillies with us in the comments of this post on our social media pages! Kay, Sparkles Team
The pursuit of eternal youth and vitality transcends mere human physicality and delves deep into the realms of energy and consciousness. Rejuvenation, in its true essence, is not simply about maintaining a youthful appearance; it is about reconnecting with our original energetics, our innate blueprint as human beings. This change is both personal and planetary, deeply intertwined with Earth's new energetics. The processes for rejuvenation are rapidly evolving, guided by the presence of beings like KariLa who bring a fresh perspective to the concept of regeneration. This new approach involves profound cellular changes, aligning with the principles of longevity, strength, and the reawakening of dormant gifts and abilities. It represents a significant shift that goes beyond surface-level changes, delving into the very core of our existence. Central to this rejuvenation process is the emergence of a new auric field. This fresh template for our energetic systems enables us to embrace higher and newer frequencies that are emerging. The auric field plays a pivotal role in shaping our perceptions and in how we absorb energies into our being. This pristine auric field, unlike any seen before on Earth, necessitates learning new ways to interact with our fields and aligning with the new vibrations and energies of the new Earth. Another critical aspect of rejuvenation is shedding the fear of aging and embracing the process of aging with grace and ease. This requires us to challenge the prevalent perceptions and beliefs around aging that are deeply embedded in the collective consciousness. By acknowledging and reframing our own views on aging, we can begin to disengage from the energetic matrix of aging that surrounds us. This process involves setting intentions for health and vitality, and being mindful of our words and thoughts, as they play a pivotal role in creating a new narrative around aging. Cellular regeneration lies at the heart of the rejuvenation process, focusing on revitalizing specific organs or body systems to a more pristine state. This entails dissolving any disalignment within the body and commencing with one organ at a time. A special download of newvenation energy is employed for this purpose, tailored to the individual’s DNA and original energetic blueprint, and blended with drops of their essence of purity. This process not only supports the body's innate regenerative abilities but also serves as a testament to the body's capability to rejuvenate itself. Rejuvenation is a holistic journey that encompasses physical, energetic, and spiritual dimensions of our being. By realigning with our original blueprint and harmonizing with the new energies that are emerging, we can undergo a profound transformation that transcends apparent limitations and touches the very core of our essence.

In the journey of many lifetimes, we sometimes leave behind fragments of our soul—pieces of ourselves that we couldn't face or deal with during times of great sorrow or trauma. These soul fragments are like missing puzzle pieces, waiting to be found and integrated back into the beautiful mosaic of who you are. Have you ever felt like there's a part of you missing, like you're not quite whole? It's a common feeling, especially in today's digital, fast-paced world where we're constantly juggling responsibilities and navigating changes. But what if I told you that you have the power to reclaim those lost parts of yourself and become whole again? Integrating soul fragments is not just about healing past wounds; it's about rediscovering parts of yourself that you may have long forgotten or buried. It's about embracing all aspects of who you are—light and shadow, joy and sorrow—and finding peace in that wholeness. Imagine each soul fragment as a treasure waiting to be unearthed, each one bringing with it a unique gift or lesson. As you integrate these fragments, you not only heal old wounds but also unlock new levels of self-awareness and spiritual growth. Integrating soul fragments is not always easy. It requires courage, patience, and a willingness to confront the parts of ourselves that we may have been avoiding or denying. But it is a journey that is guided by your own inner wisdom and supported by the loving energy of the universe. Each soul fragment holds a piece of our story, a piece of our truth, and as we integrate these fragments, we reclaim those parts of ourselves. As we integrate these fragments, we begin to see ourselves more clearly, to understand ourselves more deeply, and to love ourselves more fully. We become more whole, more authentic, more aligned with our true selves. So, if you ever feel fragmented or lost, remember that you have the power to call back those lost parts of yourself, to integrate them back into your being, and to rediscover the wholeness that has always been within you. Trust in the process, trust in yourself, and embrace the journey of integrating your soul fragments as you become more whole, more vibrant, and more authentically you.

Are you familiar with the phrase, "patience is a virtue"? Did it translate in your childhood as a forbidding, "don’t ask, the answer is no"? Even now, does reading this make you cringe a little? Many admit that patience isn't their strong suit. In hearing this, I used to wonder what the fuss was about. Patience seemed necessary given life's slow pace of change. So, I was a little surprised when my guidance began to nudge me towards practising patience. I believed I was patient, save for a few exceptions. However, in calling on the vibration of patience, it has occurred to me that I might have mistaken pessimism for patience. Misidentifying pessimism as patience can be a subtle but significant trap. Pessimism often involves a negative outlook and expectation of failure or disappointment. While patience involves waiting calmly and trustingly for things to unfold in their own time. Patience can lead to greater resilience, understanding, and peace of mind. If pessimism seems a bit extreme for your experience, then perhaps the energy and mindset of resignation might be more familiar to you. Resignation, like pessimism, can also be a subtle trap that inhibits growth and change. While resignation may not carry the same negative connotations as pessimism, it can still limit your ability to envision and work towards a better future. Patience, on the other hand, is about maintaining a sense of hope and optimism while accepting the present moment. It involves trusting that things can improve and being willing to work towards that improvement, even if it takes time. If you find yourself feeling resigned to your current circumstances, it may be helpful to re-frame your perspective. Instead of seeing the present as being as good as it gets, try to cultivate a sense of possibility and openness to change. This doesn't mean denying or ignoring the challenges you face, but rather approaching them with a mindset of resilience and determination. Practicing gratitude, setting realistic goals, and seeking out new opportunities for growth and learning can help you move beyond resignation and towards a more positive and proactive approach to life. Mistaking resignation for patience can be easy, especially when faced with persistent challenges or setbacks. When someone realizes, like I did, that they are actually very impatient with life, there are several strategies we can use to cultivate patience. Here are some ideas you can try out for yourself: Self-Awareness and Mindfulness: Be aware of your thoughts, emotions, and reactions, opening up possibilities for growth. Change Your Perspective: Guide your thoughts towards patience, optimism, and resilience. See setbacks as opportunities for learning and trust in the unfolding of time. Set Goals and Dream: Allow yourself to dream for a warm, uplifting feeling. Set clear goals and break them into manageable steps. Celebrate and Appreciate: Cultivate gratitude for the present and celebrate small victories to shift focus from impatience. Seek Support: Surround yourself with positivity and seek joyous activities. Asking for help is okay and can provide new coping strategies. Develop Resilience: Incorporate positives into your life to fuel resilience. Learn from challenges to become clearer in who you are and what you value. Practice and Reflect: Be present without judgment. Engage in patience-building activities and reflect on your approach to situations. By integrating these strategies into your daily routine, you can nurture a more patient and optimistic approach to life. This journey towards patience is ongoing, demanding practice and self-reflection. As you cultivate a more patient and optimistic outlook, you can enhance your overall sense of well-being. I, too, will be focusing on this journey, and I encourage you to join me in embracing the rewards of patience and optimism in our lives. Kay, Sparkles Team
Here you find the original article: https://boldjourney.com/news/meet-analarai-sagle/ We were lucky to catch up with AnaLaRai Sagle recently and have shared our conversation below. Hi AnaLaRai, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose? Discovering my purpose has been a journey of self-discovery. In my early years, I never really considered it. I was content to enjoy life, have a job I liked, avoid heartache, and keep some money in the bank. It was at the beginning of my spiritual awakening that the concept of “purpose” first entered my life. Looking back, it felt like the Universe was gently nudging me, presenting me with hints and opportunities that felt right. Sometimes, the pull was so strong that I couldn’t ignore it. For example, when friends sent me information about a two-week silent retreat while I was unemployed and nearly broke, I tried to ignore it. But the next day, when I saw the information again, my whole body tingled with electricity, and I knew I had no choice but to attend. As I progressed, more messages and coincidences appeared, especially when I was resistant. These signs took various forms, such as others sharing about a place I was meant to visit, a book falling off the shelf in front of me, or a timely email after asking the Universe for a sign. As my ability to hear my Guides and Highest Self grew stronger, the gentle nudges turned into undeniable messages. The moment I asked about my purpose, the channeled messages came through clearly: “Open the next layer of energetic pathways for humanity and planet Earth” and “Regularly share the energy, knowledge, and wisdom through Sparkles of Love”. Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself? I am Ana-La-Rai, a Pure Source Channel dedicated to guiding and uplifting others on their spiritual journeys. Through Sparkles of Love, my work serves as a catalyst for profound change and a conduit for the purest frequencies of Love and Light, elevating the collective consciousness and guiding individuals to align with their true soul essence. Specializing in working with clients who feel a strong inner longing for their next level of Self, I help them navigate profound change and explore new possibilities. My approach involves nurturing clients through advanced programs and private coaching, empowering them to identify and overcome the densities or blocks that hold them back, allowing them to step into their full potential. I witness profound changes in my clients as they evolve on the leading edge of awakening that defines Sparkles of Love. Aligning with greater possibilities unlocks unlimited solutions, empowering individuals to transcend limitations and create the life they desire. It is my deep honor to support others on their spiritual journey, allowing abundance into their lives and illuminating their magnificent soul within. I also get to support clients through my artwork. When I paint I call forth various energies such as creativity, love, manifestation, etc and download these into the paintings. For commissioned pieces, 3 specific energies are downloaded and written on the canvas, and after completed, I channel a message for the purchaser to assist them in their journey with the artwork. In addition, I channel The Alchemy Collective Consciousness, a group of Light Beings who come at the time of transition for a planet and her people. I have offered free weekly global meditations for the past 11 years. We co-create together to raise the vibration on planet Earth and support “the great awakening”. If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most? Three qualities have been pivotal in my journey: Trust, Clear Channeling, and Discernment. Building trust and honing discernment were especially crucial, particularly in the early stages. As a Channel for 70+ Enlightened Beings, Collectives, Angelics, and Ascended Masters, I had to attune to their energies and frequencies to ensure I was connecting with Pure Source Beings of higher dimensions. I became adept at discerning different frequencies and recognizing when truth came through, rather than distortions. With trust, I embraced their teachings, even when they challenged my existing beliefs. For example, the chakra system as we have always known it is incomplete, and Earth’s vibrational frequency had to increase before the system could be complete. The complete chakra system is available to us now. My unique ability to channel vibrations as well as words became evident over time. As I deepened my trust, many new Beings of Light were able to come forth with their messages and processes, enriching my practice. For those embarking on similar paths in energy work, readings, or healings, I offer this advice: say “yes” to your Guides! Embrace the opportunities they present, as this fosters trust in the relationship with your Guides and Higher Self. Additionally, I recommend reviewing and clearing your own energetic blockages to ensure you can be the clearest conduit possible, free from personal perceptions that may hinder your work. Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development? “The Celestine Prophecy” by James Redfield sparked my spiritual curiosity and eventual awakening. What impacted me most was its focus on coincidences and how, when you begin to watch for them, more appear. I started to see the Universe at play, connecting with me. This newfound awareness allowed me to create my life in a new way, guided by Source, God, or a higher power. Reading this book and following the coincidences in my own life led me to the two-week silent spiritual retreat I mentioned earlier. These synchronicities have guided me to new jobs, meeting my husband, buying our first house, and so much more.
