Deepak Chopra likes to use an analogy of the crucible, a device whose purpose is purification. He also likes the notion of Alchemy, but rather than turning lead into gold, his analogies have to do with the purification of the being. In both cases an expenditure of energy is required.
In most processes popular these days, the "nice" ways are promoted, encouraging others to meditate, to share their dreams, to love one another. Alchemy, as it gets practiced often here is not a "nice" process. If anything is dying, it is the beliefs that have not been examined, aspects of self that have not been examined, and above all, expressions of self-importance.
Perhaps you'd like to engage, and put your beliefs and self to the test.
