I am Alekos, I am an AlchemisT
My relationship with Alchemy goes back a long way. My first connection with Alchemy (and maybe also yours), was looking into fire as a child. Wood being turned into smoke, ash and heat. Some say that fire gazing was what got ancient humans into meditation. I still find it captivating, I can look at a fire for hours!
The first alchemical process I consciously participated in was making wine with my father when I was 10. In high school I was scientifically oriented and I was enchanted by chemical reactions changing one substance into another, sometimes in spectacular, colourful and even explosive ways. I was fortunate enough to study Chemistry in the Netherlands (my motherland), getting to spend a big part of my studies in laboratories, conducting experiments, synthesizing substances, isolating enzymes, measuring, weighing, studying properties, working hands on with exotic chemicals and expensive machines. I even got to publish an article!
After graduating in Quantum Chemistry I got into IT and forgot about chemistry for some years. But when I moved back to Corfu I took up the winemaking again and eventually also started distilling wine into “tsipouro”, the Greek version of grappa. With this alcohol I am also making elixirs, tinctures and other healing potions.
Coming back to my village on Corfu, my personal transformation journey in Inner Alchemy started. I engaged in many different practices, ranging from cold water plunges and mud baths to dance, yoga, qigong, meditation, music, clowning, tantra, plant medicine and more. The last years I have been connecting a lot with the Sufi tradition of whirling and also getting certified as an Amaterra Tantra teacher.
What I have achieved through all these practices is to face some of my shadows, peel off some of the protective layers we all build around our pure, innocent heart, and get to a point where I am grateful every day for the life that I am living. I am enjoying the journey through this beautiful reality, knowing that I am the captain of my ship and I choose what the next episode will be!
This gratitude and optimism makes we want to share my gifts with all of you!
My introduction to ORMUS
At some point around 10 years ago on Corfu I met a beautiful man called Herman Mittelholzer and we engaged in fascinating discussions about physics, metaphysics, the state of the world and the big changes coming. He came back after a couple of years, and then again. Each time he was looking younger and more energetic. He attributed this to consistently taking the ORMUS he was making and selling. He initiated me into the world or ORMUS, taught me how to make it and I have been making it and taking it ever since. If you want to get some wider insights into his alternative worldview make sure you read his Little Book of ORME and his Little Book of Chi.
ORMUS is a substance sitting at the edge of vibrational and quantum science, affecting our physical, energetic and ethereal bodies. It has accompanied me throughout my evolution and I consider it a major source of my vitality. Over the ten years I have been taking it, it has literally helped me manifest the future I was dreaming for myself!
