Encrypt an existing System via LVM

Hello folks,
is it possible to encrypt an existing Arch via LVM.
Notice that my Arch is also installed on a logical volume, only the boot partition is not an logical volume.

If that is possible how can I do that?

The wiki has pages about both lvm and encryption, you should look there first, try the suggested solutions, ask more questions only if something doesn't work as expected.

This answer also applies to your suspend question.
