Alchemy of Better Mood

Adora Winquist December 14, 2021

This meditation transmits the alchemy of better mood. We can all agree that from the collective perspective, we are at an apex of mood-based discontent. We are facing an increase in overwhelm, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and many other mental health challenges. With these influences all around us, how do we consistently improve and balance our mood? How do we tap in and ground into our highest mood regardless of outside circumstances, most of which we cannot control? How do we enhance our creativity and expand our clarity in a consistent and healthy way? How can we experience the joy that is available to us in each moment?

The Alchemy of Quantum Energy

The Alchemy of Quantum Energy

Adora Winquist December 7, 2021

Today’s meditation is on the alchemy of Quantum Energy. We will be tuning in, tuning up, lighting up, and getting activated from an energetic perspective. The quantum field invites us to align with the potential of infinite energy. Expanding beyond the 3D matrix of limitation creates a quantum field and draws us into the zero point field of limitless potential. We enhance this energy by honoring ourselves and deepening our practices of self care.

This meditation will open and activate our points of connection to the frequencies of quantum energy to expand our ability to receive energy and intelligence through our auric field and down to and through our cellular consciousness and our DNA.

The Alchemy of Forgiveness

The Alchemy of Forgiveness

Adora Winquist December 1, 2021

In this meditation we will be inviting deeper levels of forgiveness in our lives. The other day, my eldest daughter Lilly was sharing some of her favorite quotes by Martin Luther King and I was struck by the profound and timely message of this one in particular. To paraphrase: “When we are devoid of the ability to forgive, we're truly unable to love.” At one time or another, we’ve all held on to the pains of the past, whether that’s heartache, loss, grief, betrayal, or injustice. These unresolved emotions build bitterness, resentment and toxicity for bodies, our minds and our overall well being. And yet, we have the power to set ourselves free. When we bring our focus of forgiveness inward and illuminate the voice of the harsh inner critic, we lighten and enlighten ourselves. That inner healing balm of forgiveness, acceptance and embrace opens our hearts for greater experiences of love and compassion for ourselves as well as others.

Appreciation

The Alchemy of Appreciation

Adora Winquist November 23, 2021

Where are you called to be kinder and more appreciative of yourself? Where can you create space for compassionate self care? It’s important to bring our focus inward and to embrace our emotions and all of the footsteps of our journey that have brought us here. Having compassion and forgiveness for ourselves lends us more bandwidth to appreciate everything and everyone we come into contact with in our lives, even if those things don't always seem like blessings.

The Alchemy Release

The Alchemy Release

Adora Winquist November 16, 2021

The alchemy of Release is all about embracing life. For most of us, it is effortless to enjoy life when we are feeling free and joyful, when we have something exciting to look forward to, or when new love is in the air. It is equally common that in seasons of unpleasant experiences and emotions, we find ourselves resisting, avoiding, talking down to, and turning away from what life is presenting. These moments of discomfort are too part of life in its fullness. Opportunities call out to us for self love, support, healing, kindness, and a compassionate, warm embrace so that we may return back to the inner sunny days. As we embrace the entirety of our experience for exactly what and how it is, the places that are held in pain, grief, or any amount of suffering have room to surface and release, paving the way for us to experience days filled with more freedom, joy, love, and harmony.

Nourish the Heart

DNA Healing Level Series: Heart Nourish

Adora Winquist November 2, 2021

We’re all being called to find deeper ways to nourish ourselves, and the truth is that when we nourish ourselves, we strengthen our entire being. We expand our emotional intelligence, our emotional resilience, and our stress response. We’re able to engage with ourselves in a way that is really honoring, allowing us to deepen our relationship with compassion, self-acceptance, and forgiveness. All of these aspects are connected to the heart. Every relationship that we have is a direct reflection of our relationship with ourselves. When we’re working with this meditation, frequency and nourishment, we will be infusing them with pink light and other nourishing aspects.

the alchemy of goddess Hecate - adora winquist

Invoke the Alchemy of Goddess Hecate All Hallows’ Eve

Adora Winquist October 28, 2021

All Hallows’ Eve marks a time of celebration of life and a personal reflection and assimilation of the year gone by. Since the veil between the realms is thin, it offers a mystical time for intentional creation.

Each aspect of the Divine Feminine offers a specific healing and transmission of empowerment. In the colder months, we look to Goddess Hecate to infuse us with new levels of strength, clarity and abundance. As the leaves change and begin to fall, the cooler weather invigorates our ability to gaze inward. Often depicted in triple form, holding a pair of torches, the Greek Goddess Hecate is a Light Leader with the ability to assist us in transmuting and bridging the darkness of the shadow side, or lower self, which exists in us all. Embracing our shadow nature allows our light to burn more brightly, illuminating our highest path of purpose and passion.

Heart Detox DNA healing level series

DNA Healing Level Series: Heart Detox

Adora Winquist October 26, 2021

Detoxing the heart invites us to release all that no longer serves the truth of who we are. We must let go of all that stands in the way of experiencing the fullness of our sacred human hearts and love for ourselves as well as love for another. When we’re talking about the heart, this is our center for relations. All of our relational cords are held here. It is the gateway to the astral realm. So many of our previous lifetimes of unresolved frequencies and emotions are held in this area as well. Detoxing the heart gives us a wonderful opportunity to go inward, and in a very essential way, release anything that we’re holding onto that is heavy, and that isn’t congruent with the magnitude of our magnificence.

Gratitude & I Am Mirror Reflection Challenge

Adora Winquist October 19, 2021

Every moment gives us the opportunity to be thankful, even when we cannot see precisely why in the moment. Cultivating a life based on gratitude for the challenging is a little trickier than experiencing thankfulness for the blessings and big wins, at first. Yet, with intention and the synergy described below, it can change every way that we perceive the benevolent unfoldment of our lives.

DNA Healing Level Series: Brain Activate

Adora Winquist October 12, 2021

After last week’s meditations designed to detox and nourish the brain, we are now ready for activation! I tend to awake with inspiration and guidance for the day’s projects. Today, upon waking I was surrounded by flowers. Ultimately unless a flower is open, it can't fully engage with life, and it certainly can't offer its beautiful aroma. A closed flower can't interchange with the bees or hummingbirds to create and expand life. Additionally, it can't share its beauty and sacred geometry. I think as humans we are very similar in that way. Until we're wholly open, we can't engage with life fully to co-create with all of the magnificent wonders and elements of the natural world.

DNA Healing Level Series: Brain Nourish

Adora Winquist October 4, 2021

Today’s meditation is on nourishing the brain. This healing is such an important aspect of not only our healing journey, but also balancing our brain chemistry, and creating the emotional and spiritual resilience that we are being called to do right now. Our overarching intention for this meditation is to marinate the brain in love because when our brain is nourished, our entire body, being and every cell is nourished.

DNA Healing Level Series: Brain Detox

Adora Winquist September 28, 2021

Today, we continue our series on detoxing, nourishing, and activating. We will be balancing the nervous system with the brain detox meditation. Interestingly enough, I got home on Sunday from my trip to New Jersey and New York City, and Monday morning I was feeling really sluggish. The first oil I picked up was the brain detox, and then I realized I was set to talk about detoxing the brain this week. This formula was especially helpful coming from such a tangible energy of anxiety in this area that has experienced some of the worst of COVID and holds many waves of PTSD energy held from the trauma of this experience. So, our conversation about detoxing the brain is very timely from a perspective of clearing patterns and energy of fear, anxiety, stress and trauma.

DNA Healing Level Series: Adrenal Activate

Adora Winquist September 21, 2021

This Seeds of the Spirit meditation is part of the DNA series, with a focus on adrenal activation. In recent blogs we have cleansed and nourished this all important system of the body in preparation for the activation of our sovereign lifeforce and the expansion of our earth connection to regenerative energy. We’ll be working with the alchemies of geranium essential oil from the plant kingdom and red coral from the mineral kingdom. This meditation can be used with my new book Detox.Nourish. Activate.: Plant & Vibrational Medicine for Energy, Mood & Love.

Fall Equinox 2021

Adora Winquist September 15, 2021

The Fall Equinox marks a rare intersection of the Sun and the celestial realms creating a potent planetary alignment, heightening the alchemical frequencies for intentional creation. From a seasonal perspective, this is a time of harvest. We reap the great bounty of our gardens of plenty: both physically for those of us that cultivate home gardens as well metaphorically. As we reflect on the latter and focus inward, we can see how our intentional seeds of creation have grown to bear the fruits of our creativity, love, and vitality.

The Inspiration Behind the Elixirs 4 Quantum Living

Adora Winquist June 14, 2021

Featured in HVY Journalists

Q: How did you get interested in alchemy and which aromas do you personally consider to be the most appealing?

A: Even as a young child, I was drawn to nature. It provided solace and comfort to my sensitive spirit that empathically felt much of the family disharmony in my early childhood years. The natural world called to me, with its beautiful colors, aromas, creatures, stones, and other aspects of the elements, especially water. I found I could communicate and connect deeply with the stones and plants, and I preferred to be outdoors as much as possible. I am still that way.

Stuck in the Loop of Chronic Illness?

Featured in Balanced Babe

Chronic illness can be debilitating to much more than our physical wellbeing. It can drain our joy, limit our ability to adapt and respond to stress as well as cloud our mental clarity. Approaching healing from a holistic perspective is paramount for sustainable shifts of healing to take place.
