Quickie Alchemical Visualization

EXERCISE of the FLASK

Visualize yourself as being in a clean , clear, crystal flask one quarter
full with pure water. You are floating and bathing in a pure clear warm
water. This water is the water of life, it is the universal divine,
purifying, vitalizing and healing, cosmic essence that your consciousness
has its being in.

Visualize a gentle fire below your flask heating and quickening this
spiritual water. You feel very comfortable in this water as it invigorates
your being. You float very effortlessly in this water and you begin to feel
lighter as the water begins effervescing through the heating action.

You gradually feel lighter and lighter and as the water vapors all around
begin to rise ..you get caught up in the action and begin to float out of
the water, you feel a rising and an elevation. You are above the water and
continue to rise with the steam up to the upper half of the bottle. You feel
an exhilaration, and you realize a freedom within your soul. You absorb a
sort of power and a blessing from this elevation . Your consciousness seems
to expand and you feel very light within your being. The Spirit within you
rejoices. As the vapors slowly condense and begin to descend, you slowly
descend along with them. You feel the downward descent, lower and lower you
descend as you return and are immersed again into the effervescent warm
waters below.

2 As you float effortlessly you continue to feel ever more the
liveliness and the stimulation of this spiritual water. As the effervescence
of the water continues through the heating action of the fire below the
flask, you again begin to feel ever so lighter as you again feel the
floating and the elevation. You once more get caught up in the rising vapors
and are elevated upwards into the upper half of the flask. Once again you
feel elated, and you receive a force from the vibrations of this higher
level. Your consciousness again feels a freedom that is truly belonging to
the spirit. You can feel the rejoicing in your soul as it receives a
blessing and a force from this spiritual expansion and elevation.

As the vapors slowly condense and begin to descend, you slowly begin to
descend along with them. You feel the downward motion, lower and lower you
descend as you return and are immersed once more in this invigorating,
clear, effervescent warm waters below.

Slowly as the vapors condense you begin to descend again and are immersed
once more in this invigorating effervescent water. You enjoy the cleaning
action of this bathing.

As the fire below the flask keeps heating the water the effervescence
action continues and you are elevated once more with the rising water vapors
into the space above. You again absorb the higher energies of this elevation
and you feel the freedom that is expressed in this flight of your soul.

As the vapors condense, you slowly descend for the last time back into
the warm waters below, bringing with you the higher energies absorbed from
above. You are immersed again in the water. The fire under the flask slowly
extinguishes and the effervescence slows down.

Slowly you come back to objective consciousness and when you are ready open your eyes.
