Quote:Alchemy is the process of hanging Negative Energy to positive energy and this is heavily used in systems such as Tai Chi and Chi Kung.Emotional Alchemy isn't the same thing as tasking an entity to do the work for you (here the subconscious). That's different.
You obviously won't harm yourself in order to harness negative energy, but your subconscious or any other entity on which you don't have 100% control over CAN.
Yes, safeguards is the way to go but it's still good to be careful.
