Dear Friends,

(May 2025) I’ve been on a deeply personal journey these past several months. It’s taken a toll — physically, emotionally, spiritually. To be clear: I’m not facing anything life-threatening. I have been navigating chronic illness. It doesn’t endanger my life, but it reshapes it in ways that can be hard to describe — and harder still to live through.

I’ve had to slow down, take a breath, and — as Lazaris said in Questions from the Community, Part 5 — “take a step back from wanting it all to be different and understand what is going on and why it is happening.”

I’ve still been closely involved with all we’re doing at Concept: Synergy — we held the Zoom Gatherings during the thick of my health challenges — but I’ve also had to lean more heavily than ever on my remarkable team, which has been an important part of my healing.

As I continue to heal and regain my energy, I’ve felt an undeniable pull to write about this journey. The insights are coming fast and deep, and the growth has been profound. At first, I just wanted to “hurry up and heal,” to get back to my daily routine and the forms I’ve always viewed as my spiritual path. What I’ve come to understand is that chronic illness is part of my spiritual path, and as I have navigated it, I found it leading to new places and have dropped trying to “get back to” old ones. That feels exciting, especially during this time when old ways of being are crumbling. I think about what Lazaris said during the Vancouver events: “You need to be willing to let go of all that has been [in order] to become a new kind of human being.”

I’m more grateful than ever for the guidance Lazaris has given us about healing physical illness. One of our blog entries, Healing: The Journey from Illness to Health, has helped me immensely, especially the seven deeply personal questions it offers to uncover the hidden causes behind illness. They’re not easy to ask, but they’ve changed how I understand my body’s messages.

And I’ve returned time and again to these recordings in particular: Healing: The Nature of Health, Part I (which includes the powerful “Elixir of Health” meditation) and Healing: The Nature of Health, Part 2, in which Lazaris maps the body as three chakra systems and helps interpret maladies in different parts of the body as they relate to these systems.

Because these emails from Concept: Synergy are focused on the Lazaris Material, and because this part of my journey is so intimate, I’ll be sharing more about my healing and insights on my Substack writing page: Visible Soul, rather than within these emails. You’re warmly invited to read along there and subscribe if it resonates with you.

While pop-up gatherings may not be on the immediate horizon, more Zoom Gatherings will, and we’ll keep you updated.
I’m grateful to be walking this spiritual path alongside so many others, whether we’re close or we’ve not met. Simply knowing you’re out there brings light to my journey. I wish all of you love and light.

Love and Gratitude,
Alisonn
