A 10-week course in the oldest map of how anything comes into being, and how to work with it.
“I have worked on this for years and it keeps coming back in a different form.”
“I know what my pattern is. Knowing it has not changed it.”
“I keep treating the symptom and I have never found the root.”
“Every time I get close to what I want, something in me closes the door.”
“I can heal other people. I cannot seem to do it for myself.”
“I have the insight. I do not have the change.”
“I do not know where to start, so I start everywhere and finish nothing.”
“I am tired of guessing.”
If any of those are yours, the problem is probably not effort. It is that you have been working at the wrong level.
Nothing arrives in your life fully formed. Every situation you are living inside right now, the good and the difficult, came down through the same sequence of stages, from a first impulse to a thing you can point at.
That sequence has a map, and it is very old. It is called the Tree of Life, and it is not a belief system. It is a description of the mechanism.
If a pattern in your life is distorted, the distortion entered at a particular stage, and you can go and find it.
That is what this course teaches you to do. Not to understand the Tree. To use it.
You start where the issue actually lives, in your body and your daily life, and you climb back through each stage to find where the pattern first went sideways. You start where you are. That order is deliberate, and it is what keeps this from becoming spiritual bypassing.
At the top, one question: what does this look like when it is whole? Whole asks for more than a resolution or a decision.
You bring the healed pattern back down, letting it re-form correctly at each stage, and you land it in one concrete action you can take that requires nobody else to do anything at all.
Some Tree of Life teaching buries the spheres under correspondences and pathworking, so the system seems to need years of preparation before you can use it. Other teaching treats the Tree as psychology, a model of the inner life.
This course takes a different perspective. The powers behind each sphere are real, and they take part in how things are created and how they come apart. You learn what each one does, how they act on each other, and in what order to engage them.
The Tree is a map, and it is also the road. You travel it in real time. Because you work with those powers directly, the work can reach past thought, into your body and your life.
You learn the sequence, the questions to ask at each station, and how to move through the Tree from knowledge rather than hope.
Ten sessions, so each station gets the time it needs, including the hidden eleventh.
Every session has an experiential component. By the final week you will have stood in every station of the Tree at least once, so the full journey in Week 10 is a return to places you know.
At each station you are guided step by step with questions designed for that stage. Each one works like a key, and each door it opens leads to the next.
You will meet the traditional Hebrew names; memorizing them is optional. Each station is taught by what it does. Conception. Initiation. Sanctuary. Way Opener. Restraint. Fulcrum. Discipline. Release. Threshold. Manifestation.
Ordinary situations traced through all ten stages, showing what healthy flow looks like at each level and what the distortion looks like. Because every issue you want to heal came down the same road.
One alchemical concept a week, named and left, so that by the end you have met the whole Emerald Formula one piece at a time.
“The joint relationship session you facilitated for my sweetheart and me and the Tree of Life Journey you took us on were unique and powerful. Safe, insightful, effective, deep, profound. I feel incredibly grateful for your feedback on our relationship dynamics and the next steps reflections you opened up for us were masterful. I now have a sense of lightness as I go deeper into my own knowing. Thank you for the power and heart you bring into the world.”

Overview
The Alchemical Flame and how to work with it. The difference between Spirit and Soul, which is the distinction the whole course rests on: Spirit is the part of you that already knows, Soul is the part that takes injury. How people receive inner work, and why coming up blank is not failure.
The Void, which sits before the Tree begins and lets you move from the Flame into any station on it.
Practice
Connecting to the Flame, which opens every session.
Journey
Igniting the Flame.
Overview
How anything comes into being. Light passing through ten filters, each one making the next step more specific. Creation through polarity. The three columns and what they do. The Lightning Flash. Backing into the Tree, so that the map sits in your own body. And the single most useful line on it: what is given to us, and what is ours to work.
Practice
Locating all ten stations in your own body.
Journey
Feeling the whole structure moving through you, the way breathing moves through you whether or not you attend to it.
Overview
The first impulse. The spark before there is anything to point at. Where every project, every relationship, every illness and every recovery begins, and what happens to an impulse that is shut down before it has finished arriving.
Practice
Tracing something in your life back to the moment it wanted to exist.
Journey
Standing at the source, above the crown.
Overview
The first pair, and they are opposites. Initiation is where time starts and a pattern begins to form. Sanctuary is where what is finished is held, protected and out of circulation. Together they answer a question most people never think to ask: what is this life not going to include, and why.
Practice
What in you has been put away. Whether it is finished, or only sleeping.
Journey
The two temples.
Overview
The eleventh station, which is not on most maps and is not really a sphere at all. The Abyss beneath it, the gap between what is timeless and what is mortal. And the being who stands there deciding what crosses. Crossing it means releasing the need to know how it should all work, and agreeing to receive.
Practice
What you would have to stop needing to understand.
Journey
Crossing the Abyss. What carries you is Divine love, not your own grip.
Overview
The path builder and the one who closes doors. Restraint is usually mistaken for the enemy. It is not. What is withheld is what makes a path a path instead of a fog of possibility. This is the week where the idea that limitation is punishment comes apart.
Practice
What opened, what closed, and what the closing made possible.
Journey
The two shoulders.
Overview
The center, and the heart. The point that holds the balance and lets everything else move. Also the boundary: above it we can ask and intend but not direct. Below it, we act. The heart truth of an issue is found here, and so is the question of whether the thing is really about power or really about love.
Practice
The hard truth. What it is actually about.
Journey
Standing as the fulcrum of the scales.
Overview
The grindstone and the unraveller. One creates the difficulty that shapes you. The other gives you enough rope and waits to see what you do with it. Most people are over-gripped in one and collapsing in the other. This week is about telling which hardship is developing you and which is simply unnecessary, and about what needs loosening rather than tightening.
Practice
Where you are being ground, and where you are being given rope.
Journey
The hips and the legs.
Overview
The gate, and the most important station in the whole course for healing. This is where a pattern is kept alive: by imagination, by dreaming, by the loop that plays underneath the thought. Even a physical difficulty is held in place by a process, and the process lives here. It is also where anything new has to pass through to become real.
Practice
The picture you visit most often. And whether you have ever checked it.
Journey
Dreaming, imagination, and the gate.
Overview
The body, the life, the outcome. You do not work on this directly. You change effort, release, and imagination, and this follows. Also the cycle, which is why nothing here was ever meant to be permanent. What completes carries the seed of what comes next.
Practice
One concrete action that requires nobody else to do anything at all.
Journey
The body and the ground.
Overview
Everything assembled. The full ascent, the turning point, and the full descent, in one continuous piece of work. Plus the whole alchemical sequence laid out in order for the first time, all seven operations and the eighth step that brings it home.
Practice
Your own issue, taken all the way up and all the way back down.
Journey
The complete journey.
Offered separately and entirely optional. Nothing in the ten weeks depends on it.
Overview
The one word this course deliberately leaves out, and what it actually means once the sensational material of the last century is set aside. Shells, husks, containers. Why divine power has to be filtered before it can reach anyone safely, how containers become corrupted, and what happens to a person whose spiritual life has been poured into one that no longer holds anything.
This is a discussion class. There is no journey in it.
The ascent, the turning point, and the descent follow the same steps every time, so you always know which station you are at and what comes next.
The same process works on a pattern in your body, your work, your money, or your creative life. Every descent ends in one concrete action, repeated until it becomes a rhythm.
Each station has its own questions. Asked in the right order, they show you what is happening and what to do next.
You trace a difficulty from where it shows up back to the stage where it entered, and make the change there.
Some hardship is shaping you, and some you have been carrying out of habit. You learn to tell which is which.
Three positions on the Tree are yours to act on: effort, release, and imagination. The rest you ask for and intend.
The Tree goes with you and stays yours, to use on your own for the rest of your life.
I spent over 20 years in corporate IT and senior management before this work. I have been practicing as a shamanic, Kabbalistic, and spiritual energy healer for 10 years, and teaching the Alchemical Flame. I co-lead practice on Cyndi Dale’s year-long advanced program, where I also teach as guest faculty, and I have taught a guest faculty class on her Shift Network program.
I healed myself of MS. I did not know at the time that I was working the Tree, but that is what I was doing: finding the point of balance, understanding what was necessary, understanding what had to be released. What I teach here is that same process, made structural, so you do not have to find it by accident the way I did.

Early enrollment
No. This course is open to anyone. The Foundations Module, sent to everyone on January 2, 2027, covers everything you need, and if you have taken it already, that module is a refresher.
None. You will meet the traditional names once and then never be asked to memorize them. Everything is taught by what it does.
No. Some receive images, some receive words, some receive body sensation, some receive a wordless knowing with nothing attached to it, and some find the answer surfacing 2 days later. All of those are the practice working. Every journey also comes in writing, so there is always a route that does not ask you for a picture.
Every session is recorded and yours to access whenever you like.
The reflection questions take 20 minutes if you want them to. They will take longer if the week has landed.
No. The Tree of Life predates and outlives any single tradition, and it is taught here as a description of how things come into being, not as a doctrine you are asked to accept.
The inner work is entirely your own. Sharing afterwards is always invited and never required.
Bring one primary issue to the course: physical, emotional, relational, financial, or any other. Before the first session, write down where you stand with it and how you relate to it. After week 10, write it again and compare. I cannot guarantee an outcome for anyone. The aim is clarity about where the issue began and a change in its inner dynamics, one that stays with you and can lead to real change in your life.

Dear Ofer. Thank you so very much for the reading and the recap. It was perfect timing. You have helped me so much.
I truly appreciate you and your gifts. I feel so lucky that I found you.
“Ofer’s 7-week course was amazing and exceeded my high expectations! Very deep human issues were being addressed, at the same time every step of the course was very gentle and easy to follow. I asked a lot of questions and got them all answered. The course substantially increased my acceptance of my abilities to heal and create, I found it extremely empowering! I’ve seen so many changes in so many areas of my life that I now believe that there really aren’t any limits to how much healing and manifesting a person can do. From my heart I can 100000% recommend Ofer’s course to anyone who is longing for the freedom to heal, to create, to wake up to endless possibilities – or simply, the freedom to be and express yourself in an unlimited way!”
I have met many healers and energy workers throughout my life….I have had the miraculous opportunity to experience sessions with Ofer….I took his 8-week course, participated in his bi-weekly sessions, had two full-hour sessions, and was astounded by the precision and directness with which he cleared energy blocks and uncovered and released patterns that have influenced my life with trauma and illness throughout the years. Ofer has a rare talent that few authentic healers possess…the degree to which he delves into the ethereal realms of healing, as well as unlocking generational trauma, is astounding. There are a few energy workers who rise above them all…and then, there is Ofer Niv. He truly is one of the most remarkable Shamanic energy Healers I have ever encountered in my life.
Ofer’s magnificent Awakening the Alchemical Flame Series is a fantastic, highly effective tool. It guides you in exploring different realms that help uncover hidden aspects of yourself that may be buried
in your subconscious, causing challenges in daily life on many levels.
I was blessed with the opportunity to be a demonstration subject during the last class.
Ofer helped me work through the realms we had explored during the 7-week journey.
After his guided journey, I was able to sleep without having nightmares. What a fascinating transformation!
Ofer is a very advanced, talented teacher and healer.
He handles the most difficult situations with exceptional integrity and professionalism, instilling confidence.
He works in a supportive, safe way.
I wholeheartedly recommend this course.
“My guardian angel helped me by leading me to Ofer Niv with his skill and knowledge to heal one’s soul. Ofer has not only healed my spirit, he has shown me how to take care of my true self for the rest of my life. I am grateful for Ofer’s help and I hope many others will reach out to him to experience how he will also improve their lives.”
Having taken many energy healing classes over the years, I was interested to see what new teachings Ofer’s ‘Awakening the Alchemical Flame’ course had to offer, and it didn’t disappoint. Journeying into the different Realms and experiencing the energies there was a new way of interacting with and understanding the complexities of life’s challenges for me. And learning to weave the Realms together into a healing session for myself and others opened up new possibilities to explore. Ofer’s care in creating a safe and sacred space for the students and his relaxed teaching style made for an enjoyable class environment every time. The classes were backed up with a workbook and detailed class notes, which helped deepen my understanding of the work, and I know that I’m at the beginning of a magical journey into these profound teachings.
I had the honor and pleasure of working with Ofer at the end of January for a 60-minute energy session. I have been working in the neuromuscular, bodywork, and energy work fields for about 28 years, so I am not new to this kind of energy medicine. I am so grateful for Ofer, his experience, powerful intuition, and gifts! It was one of my greatest experiences in receiving assistance to move forward in my journey and heal things that were stuck in levels and layers unbeknownst to me. His ability to quickly and passionately work through and identify issues and heartbreaks that he just intuitively knew how to clear them, and heal whatever residue there may have been was incredible, as well as unbelievable! I immediately felt much better and have been able to hold my peace!!! Which I had been struggling terribly with for weeks! Now that a week or so has passed by, I can still feel my energy shifting and moving. He was also able to intuitively pick up on some Family issues and assist with my children as well. That is the greatest gift I received in all of this work! A wonderful blessing for all of us! I see results from that work already!I encourage anyone contemplating working with him to do so as soon as possible. I plan on working with him in the future on a regular basis. I want to keep my energy clear and clean so that I might be able to assist others and make a difference in their journey, as he has done for me. His connections are invaluable, you can feel them present. The moment he starts the session, all his grace and integrity are impeccably present!
The healing I was able to perform on myself with Ofer’s support is simply wonderful, magical and fantastic… I worked with his “Limited belief” series and “Abundance” guided journey for about a year now…Major and wonderful changes in energies and patterns that used to hold me hostage are happening in ways I cannot put into words…But here’s a quite nice, hands-on example: I was on a wilderness camping kayaking trip. We had a very interesting athletic challenge coming up for the next day. I was afraid of the powerful water, but even more so of all the sporty guys, some of them less than half my age. So was my partner, he wanted to bail and asked me to break camp and go home. I refused. I was so alone and lonely as one could ever feel on this planet. I went into my tent, put headphones with noise-canceling onto my ears, and played the “I Am Powerless”-session over and over again…The next day I mastered not only my anxieties but performed fantastically well. I could almost not believe it. It was out of this world. To actually believe it, that’s something I have to seriously work on ;-)))
“Working with Ofer has been a very liberating, empowering and rewarding experience. I have such profound gratitude for what Ofer has done for me.”
Ofer was introduced to me by a mutual friend. I had recently been diagnosed with stage 3a kidney disease. At this stage medical science says there is no going back. It’s possible you can slow the progression down. But there simply is no healing at 3a. 5 is dialysis. Ofer has treated me for 2 weeks. I recently had a blood test and there is no evidence of disease. A medical miracle my Drs call it. Ofer has also led me in reclaiming my hope and spirituality. I can’t say enough about the gifts he has led me in finding. These are the best days of my and my family’s lives.
Ofer has the essential but very rare qualities that make a true healer: a pure heart, total integrity, compassion, self-awareness, and tremendous gifts and talents. I have experienced first-hand the power of his physical healings that have brought me out of some of the sickest, most physically painful moments of my life. And I have also had nonphysical healings on mental, emotional, and spiritual levels that have changed how I experience the world for the better and fundamentally improved the quality of my familial relationships. He is one of the best and a true gift to all who are lucky enough to work with him. I have also been fortunate to take classes from Ofer. He is a terrific teacher who makes complex concepts accessible and always leaves me with profound ideas to ponder and new ways of viewing things. Ofer is incredibly smart and learned, and combined with his spiritual gifts, he is able to synthesize knowledge from many fields of study and lineages and translate the esoteric into the understandable. Studying with Ofer is not only a way to expand one’s own spiritual knowledge base and healing capabilities but also a deeply effective and enjoyable path to personal healing.
The most fortunate of individuals line up to study energy healing with Ofer Niv. Ofer is my go-touch referral for my clients–I have a large energy medicine practice–and I am eager to also recommend him as a teacher. I’ve entrusted him to serve as a Teaching Assistant for a one-year course and also as a co-teacher for an upcoming one-year course because of several reasons. He is accurate, clear, intensely knowledgeable, and energetically aware. He can gracefully lead you through must-understand topics from protection to chakras, beliefs to interference, and most vitally, the sacred space of the heart. I’ve personally experienced his guided meditations and know that the shifts experienced will be lovely and deep and saturate your existence. Enjoy your good fortune, it will be life changing.
“Ofer has helped me eliminate blocked energy which has encumbered me. His gentle and thoughtful ways allow so many shifts with great ease.”
“Ofer leads me through a compassionate and structured approach to clear deep sabotaging patterns, empowering me to retrieve my skills and innate wisdom.”
“Ofer is an attuned accelerator that is able to assist with empathy and effectiveness. Anyone would be lucky to work with him.”
“So grateful to Ofer. His skills in working within the body are unparalleled. During sessions with him, I can feel the energy shifting and am always aware of a healthy difference afterward.”
