Emotional Alchemy, a workbook

In this chapter, we’ll explore how to maintain the God State when navigating the ups and downs of ordinary daily life.

High-Stress Jobs create challenge, Constant pressure, life-or-death decisions, emotional overload.

In high-stress and emergency environments, the mind can easily fall into panic, fear, or burnout, due to the intensity of the situation. The God State offers a way to remain calm and clear-headed, no matter what the external circumstances may be.

General Practice: The 5-Second Breath Reset

What it is: A rapid micro-meditation to bring yourself back to center when things feel overwhelming.
How to do it:
- Inhale deeply for 2 seconds, imagining you are pulling in light or energy from the universe.
- Hold the breath for 1 second, visualizing yourself aligning with the God State, fully present and aware, and say, “Oh, no, not this again” to invoke the God State fully.
- Exhale slowly for 2 seconds, releasing tension, stress, or fear.
When to use it: Between patients, after a stressful call, or whenever you feel your emotions spiking. This practice can be done in the middle of an action without drawing attention.

Practice 2: Visualizing Neutral Energy

What it is: A visualization technique that helps you stay unaffected by external chaos or stress.
How to do it:
- Picture yourself as a pillar of light, standing firm and unaffected by the surrounding energy.
- Visualize the chaotic energy around you as just neutral, passing through you like wind, but unable to shake your inner peace.
- Imagine yourself staying deeply rooted in the God State by invoking the mantra, “Oh, no, not this again”, radiating calmness and centered energy to yourself and those around you.
When to use it: In high-intensity moments like responding to an emergency, dealing with distressed patients, or facing critical decisions. This helps you act from a place of clarity instead of reactivity.

Real-world Application: In high-pressure environments, you often don’t have time to step away for a full meditation session. These instant trigger God State practices are designed to fit into the moments between tasks, or even while you’re actively engaged in work.

For example, after delivering difficult news to a patient or their family, you can step aside for a moment and use the 5-second breath reset to realign. Or, when faced with a chaotic situation, like multiple patients in need, visualize the neutral energy to remain calm and effective.

Practice 3: “Oh, No, Not This Again”

What it is: A mental tool to create instant detachment and humor in the face of recurring stress or chaos.
How to do it:
- When faced with a situation that triggers stress, whether it’s an emergency call, a demanding patient, or an unruly situation, mentally step back and say to yourself, “Oh, no, not this again.”
- The phrase is a trigger to remind you that you’ve been through similar challenges before, and you came through. It invites you to view the situation with a sense of humor and detachment.
- By repeating the phrase in your mind, you acknowledge the situation without becoming emotionally entangled in it.
When to use it: When you notice rising stress levels in familiar situations—those moments where you feel like, “Here we go again.” It brings lightness and perspective, preventing emotional burnout.

Practice 4: Grounding in Physical Sensation

What it is: A simple practice of reconnecting with the body to stay present in intense moments.
How to do it:
- Focus your attention on the soles of your feet or your hands. Feel the physical sensations—pressure, temperature, or texture.

- Let the sensation of being physically rooted help you regain composure and awareness.
When to use it: During moments of heightened stress, like performing triage in an emergency room or making split-second decisions. It keeps you calm and connected to the present.

Practice 5: Reframing Through the God State

What it is: A way to reframe difficult or draining situations through a higher perspective.
How to do it:
- When faced with a challenging situation, mentally step back and say, “This is an opportunity to expand my capacity to stay in the God State.”
- Instead of seeing the situation as overwhelming, reframe it as a spiritual exercise designed to deepen your practice. The more challenging it is, the more growth it offers.
When to use it: In any situation where you feel like you’re at your breaking point—whether it’s dealing with a difficult coworker, facing moral dilemmas, or dealing with fatigue after a long shift. This practice helps you maintain perspective and invites gratitude for the lessons.

Real-World Example: The Emergency Room

Imagine you’re working a chaotic shift in the emergency room. The phones are ringing off the hook, patients are flooding in, and the stress levels are through the roof. You’ve just had to deliver bad news to a family, and now there’s another trauma case coming in.

The 5-Second Breath Reset: As you move to the next patient, you quickly perform the breath reset—inhale deeply, hold, exhale. You feel yourself reconnecting with the God State, centering yourself in calm.
Neutral Energy Visualization: As the chaotic energy of the room swirls around, you mentally picture yourself as a pillar of light. All the chaos and stress pass through you, leaving you untouched and focused.
“Oh, No, Not This Again”: The next case comes in—another critical trauma. You feel a flash of anxiety but immediately think, “Oh, no, not this again,” allowing a moment of levity to cut through the intensity. You smile inwardly, remembering that you’ve handled this before and will do it again.
Grounding in Physical Sensation: As you begin triage, you focus briefly on the feeling of the cold, smooth stethoscope in your hand. This brings you back to the present moment, keeping you grounded and steady.
Reframing the Situation: After hours of non-stop action, fatigue begins to creep in, but you pause and remind yourself, “This is an opportunity to strengthen my ability to stay in the God State.” It shifts your perspective, allowing you to feel more empowered rather than overwhelmed.
