A COURSE IN 

THE MAGIC OF CRYSTAL ALCHEMY BUILDING “BLISS”; THE LIFE‐VILLAGE OF YOUR DREAMS 

LESSON  5  THE  INNER  LABORATORY  ‐ PART  2:  BELIEF,  MINDFULNESS,  AND  

INTENTION  

 

BELIEF 

 

To be successful as a Crystal 

Alchemist and bring real 

magic into your life you must 

believe in yourself. Belief is 

the most powerful force in 

the universe. 

 

It is really about that simple. 

Your mind will work to make real what you believe to be true. 

What you believe shapes who you are as a person, what things 

come into and out of your life, and affects your overall quality 

of life. If you believe you have the power to use crystals to 

make your life the one you want, then you have the power. 

(The opposite is true also, if you don’t believe in yourself and 

Page 3: Lesson 5 - A Course in the Magic of Crystal Alchemy€¦ · MINDFULNESS RESTING IN THE ARMS OF THE DRAGON To gain the magic of Crystal Alchemy, we are also going to master some degree

the power of your beliefs and intentions, then you are making 

yourself powerless.) 

 

“The mind (energy) arises from the physical body, however, 

our new understanding of the universe’s mechanics shows us 

how the physical body can be affected by the immaterial mind. 

Thoughts, the mind’s energy, directly influence how the 

physical brain controls the body…The fact is that harnessing 

the power of your mind can be more effective than the drugs 

you have been programmed to believe you need.”1 

It is through and due to the power of belief that an outcome 

always has, always IS and ALWAYS must be created.2 

To be an effective Crystal Alchemist believe in what you are 

doing. You are harnessing the Universal Life Force and 

focusing it on making your life and the lives of others better. 

That belief is a potent energy that will assure your success. The

results will seem magical, but you will know they are just 

manifestations of the power of the belief in your mind.  

Belief creates vision. It sees what does not exist and wills it into 

existence. It ignores distractions and doubts. It sees the path to 

the goal clearly. It is not concerned with doubters or 

nonbelievers. It is strength, it is will, it is determination, and it 

is the mental clarity to achieve and create what you envision.  

EXERCISE 3: BELIEF

Write down five things that you truly believe but have no 

physical proof of. For example, I love my spouse, or, I believe in 

God. Now, with your list, just pause and consider this question: 

“Why do I believe each of these things?” You may find this an 

interesting exercise. 

 

Now write down five things you believe about yourself. Maybe 

“I am good with children.” Now again, ask yourself why. As you 

do these exercises you will start to understand how powerful 

belief is to all of us. For the Crystal Alchemist, belief means you 

know you can create the magic in your life that you need. You 

KNOW IT. (And you are right, by the way!)

MINDFULNESS 

RESTING IN THE ARMS OF THE DRAGON

To gain the magic of Crystal Alchemy, we are also going to 

master some degree of mindfulness. The ancient alchemist 

had another term for it, “Resting in the Arms of the Dragon.”

While Resting in the Arms of the Dragon was a form of 

meditation, it was not a passive form but rather an active 

discipline wherein the alchemist focused on the present and 

immediate and engaged with transcendental powers beyond 

our visible world to create something truly new. 

Page 6: Lesson 5 - A Course in the Magic of Crystal Alchemy€¦ · MINDFULNESS RESTING IN THE ARMS OF THE DRAGON To gain the magic of Crystal Alchemy, we are also going to master some degree

The effort was not to still the mind, but to use its chaotic 

energies and images and follow them back to their source with 

the intent of seeing what really exists. 

This is essentially mindfulness ‐ a focus on the here and now 

with the intent of gaining desired results from our 

corresponding actions. We are so use to the complexity of life 

and the constant striving we are often unable to achieve a state 

of mindful relaxation. Locked in our thoughts, worry, stressful 

work, and personal relationships, we have difficulty in finding 

simplicity, balance, and relaxed focus on the present and its 

joys. 

Page 7: Lesson 5 - A Course in the Magic of Crystal Alchemy€¦ · MINDFULNESS RESTING IN THE ARMS OF THE DRAGON To gain the magic of Crystal Alchemy, we are also going to master some degree

Mindfulness is a basic human ability. It is being fully present, 

aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly 

reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. 

Practiced well, it leads to understanding our connections with 

the Universe and with others as we grow in awareness and 

inquisitiveness. It gives us the chance to discover our values 

and examine them for usefulness in our lives. 

Mindfulness is nothing new. Mindfulness is something we all 

naturally possess but often do not use effectively. Whenever 

you bring awareness to what you’re directly experiencing via 

your senses, or to your state of mind via your thoughts and 

emotions, you’re being mindful. Mindfulness lights up parts of 

your brain that are not active as we are generally mindlessly 

running on autopilot through the day. The very important key 

here is that when you are mindful, you are NOT your thoughts, 

but rather you are a somewhat involved actor in your 

immediate situation. You have much more ability to 

consciously choose what you wish and intend.

In our crystal alchemy work, we will have specific rituals that 

will facilitate mindfulness. The repetition of the rituals over 

time will help us grow in our mastery of mindfulness. As we

learn to “rest in the arms of the dragon, our lives will become 

much more fulfilling. Start here.  

 

EXERCISE 4: REST IN THE MIND OF THE DRAGON 

MINDFULNESS EXERCISE

 

Go outdoors. Begin to walk slowly. First try to focus on your 

physical experience of walking. Feel your knees bend, the heals 

of your feet hitting the earth, the way your body keeps it 

balance. Then look forward without turning your head and look 

to the left edge of your vision. Watch for colors of things as you 

move past them. Now turn around. Notice how you managed 

to do that and not fall. Now, focus on the weather ‐ is it raining, 

warm, windy, cool? Just feel it. Do not judge. Feel. 

 

This takes only a few minutes but is quite an extraordinary 

experience. You were actually fully present! So, that is being 

mindful… yes, that is it. You will practice it when you are doing 

your Alchemy. You will be aware of the space you are in, the 

colors, the scents, the movements. You will be mindful and you 

will experience some quite unusual things.

INTENTION

An intention is a directed impulse of consciousness that 

contains the seed of that which you aim to create. 

 

“In the universe there is an immeasurable, indescribable force 

which shamans call intent, and absolutely everything that 

exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intent by a 

connecting link.” 3

Intention is a field of energy that flows 

invisibly. It is not a measurable physical 

artifact but it is the “secret sauce” that 

makes the other elements of anything 

into a meaningful whole. Our 

imagination interacts with the force of 

intention to provide a vision of that 

which is to be manifested. 

 Intent is a powerful force that exists in 

the universe. When Crystal Alchemist summon intent, it comes 

to them and sets up the path for accomplishing their goals. 

This means simply that they will always accomplish what they 

set out to do. 

Deepak Chopra tells us that the classic Vedic text known as the 

Upanishads declares, “You are what your deepest desire is. As 

your desire is, so is your intention. As your intention is, so is 

your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is 

your destiny.”  

 

The power of intention works hand in hand with the power of 

belief. Start with a belief in what is desired. Break it down in to 

small steps. These are “intentions.” It is what you are going to 

do to accomplish what you believe in. 

Page 11: Lesson 5 - A Course in the Magic of Crystal Alchemy€¦ · MINDFULNESS RESTING IN THE ARMS OF THE DRAGON To gain the magic of Crystal Alchemy, we are also going to master some degree

EXERCISE 5: INTENTION

 

Take a simple goal: “Say, eat a good healthy dinner tonight.” 

Now what do you intend to do “EXACTLY” to accomplish this 

goal? For instance, you might say, “I will have a salad and eat 

all of it tonight.” OK, that is an intention. Now you try. Take a 

goal, break it down and list the exact steps you will follow. (Oh, 

by the way, you have to actually accomplish your intentions to 

finish the exercise.) 

 

These four Internal Laboratory tools 

are as important as the crystals, 

essences, elixirs, pyramids and other 

tools we use in the Outer Laboratory.  

 

Without mindful, focused intention, 

and a strong belief exercised in 

meaningful rituals we will not make magic. The magic comes 

from our mind and the Universal Mind. Our clear intentions, 

based on sound beliefs in ourselves applied with ritual focus 

will assure we bring the magic to life that we are capable of 

producing.
