The Inner Alchemy Course — Now Fully Open
ML
There are moments in every seeker’s life when knowledge no longer satisfies. Books become maps we’ve already read. Meditation turns familiar, even predictable. The breath moves, but something deeper in us remains unmoved. That’s the sign: you’re ready for alchemy—for the great turning of the inner elements.
After years of teaching and refining, my complete 18-Lesson Course on Inner Alchemy is now fully available on Kajabi. It’s not another video program to “consume.” It’s a field of transformation. Each lesson distills a living tradition—Daoist internal cultivation, breath and energy medicine, and the ancient art of turning ordinary awareness into luminous spirit.
Why Inner Alchemy, and Why Now?
We live in a time of chronic distraction, digital overstimulation, and spiritual fatigue. The modern nervous system is constantly flooded, yet the soul is starving. Daoist alchemy offers a cure—not through escape, but through transformation. Instead of rejecting the world, it teaches you to refine the energies of life itself: food, breath, emotion, even desire.
Inner Alchemy begins with the body, because the body is Earth. It continues with breath, because breath is Heaven. And it culminates in the return to stillness, because stillness is the Dao itself. These are not metaphors—they are direct experiences that anyone can cultivate with the right rhythm, guidance, and presence.
What the 18 Lessons Cover
Each of the eighteen lessons is a transmission of both teaching and practice. Together they form a spiral, not a straight line—you return to the same truths at higher levels of refinement. Here’s a glimpse:
The Foundation of Breath and Awareness – Learning to breathe as the Dao breathes.
The Four Postures of Meditation – Sitting, standing, lying, and walking as one continuum of stillness.
The Burden of Outward Awareness – Reclaiming your attention from a world designed to steal it.
The Alchemy of Breath and Mind – How thought rides the wind of Qi.
Energy Anatomy and the Three Fields – Understanding Dantian, Heart, and Head as the crucibles of spirit.
Sealing and Containing the Energy – Preventing energetic leaks and restoring internal sovereignty.
Cultivating Stillness in Movement – Turning daily life into meditation.
Initiation through the Breath Gate – Aligning with Heaven’s rhythm.
Sleeping Upright in Stillness – Daoist rest as nocturnal alchemy.
Meditative Bliss and the Heaven Within Stillness – Joy as a natural by-product of balance.
11–18 deepen into advanced breath, internal resonance, external Qi emission, and finally, breath beyond breath—the state where awareness itself breathes the universe.
Every lesson includes audio guidance, downloadable reflections, and an integration practice to bridge theory with experience. Whether you’ve been cultivating for years or are just beginning to explore Daoist medicine, you’ll find the course arranged like a ladder you can climb from wherever you stand.
What Makes This Course Different
Most modern “energy courses” either drown you in jargon or oversimplify the mystery. Inner Alchemy avoids both extremes. It treats you as an intelligent participant in your own awakening—not a follower to be dazzled, nor a skeptic to be lectured.
Each teaching balances classical wisdom and modern physiology, showing how breath alters the nervous system, immune function, and even perception itself. Yet it remains faithful to the Daoist view: true healing comes not from control, but from harmony.
You won’t find wild promises here—no instant enlightenment, no “manifestation hacks.” You’ll find rhythm, discipline, and the rediscovery of your original stillness. The alchemist’s path is ancient precisely because it works.

Who This Is For
This course is for anyone who senses there must be more than self-improvement—anyone who feels the call to refinement rather than accumulation.
It’s for the healer whose energy wanes after treating others.
For the meditator who can’t bring stillness into motion.
For the modern professional who feels spiritually “off-grid” despite outward success.
And for the sincere student of life who longs to breathe in rhythm with Heaven and Earth again.
The Alchemist’s Invitation
In the end, Inner Alchemy isn’t about mastering techniques. It’s about remembering what moves you from within. Breath becomes spirit, spirit becomes clarity, and clarity becomes freedom.
If you’ve read my books or followed my writings, you already know: I believe healing is not escape—it’s embodiment. When the breath is true, the mind becomes transparent, and the body becomes a temple again.
That’s the heart of this course.
So today, I invite you to begin. Not to “try” another program, but to commit to your own return. Eighteen lessons, one breath at a time.

Final Word
The Daoist masters said, “The way back to Heaven is through the body that breathes.”
This course was created for that return.
If it finds you now, it’s because the timing is right.
