What is The Alchemy of Opposites?

The foundation of alchemy - your biggest weakness shall become your greatest strength - rests upon another fundamental principle.

Creation is a dance of opposites. The deeper our understanding this principle, the more we tend to create health, happiness and prosperity.

When opposites are balanced and integrated, life renews itself. If we look deeply enough into any physical or psychological disturbance, we see opposing forces in a state of conflict.

Neurosis is simply opposing forces at war within the mind.

Likewise, healing of the body and mind occurs when we bring opposites into balance.

This concept is symbolically recognized in Western metaphysical school of thought; we often speak of healing the body and mind as a process of restoring the divine plan.

What is the divine plan?

Quite simply, it the plan of allowing opposites to dance harmoniously within us and around us. It is the plan of allowing each pare of opposites to function as beloved partners in the dance of creation.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the recognition of opposites as creative partners is not just a metaphysical ideal.

In Chinese Medicine, the diagnosis and treatment of physical and psychological ailments invariably boils down to the recognition of opposing energies out of balance within the body and mind.

Treatment is not focused on conquering the disease, but rather on restoring balance and integration. - restoring the divine plan.
