We begin our exploration of alchemy - the ancient science of transmutation/transformation - with the basic element of water. In ancient yoga philosophy and practice - this is the Sacral Chakra (the lower belly/pelvic bowl) and the place of emotions, creativity, relationships, and flow. In TCM, this is related to the Kidney/Bladder meridians running on the inside of the legs and up into the abdomen and along the entire back length of the body.
