468. Animals and Their Healing Powers with Alyson Charles

468. Animals and Their Healing Powers with Alyson Charles

Author: Krista Williams & Lindsey Simcik October 28, 2021 Duration: 2:17:22
During Alyson Charles' brutal yet beautiful spiritual awakening, animals were a daily medicine that coaxed repressed traumas to the surface. Through the initiation, she rebirthed as "RockStar Shaman" with a mission to collaborate directly with the wisdoms of Mother Earth and Great Spirit/Source, and bridge the gap between animals and humans.  Her spiritual allegiance to the animal world comes full circle with her new book, Animal Power, which decodes the spiritual significance of 100 species along with transformative practices to deepen your relationship with the power animal wanting to support you at this time. In this episode, Alyson reveals the emotionally-charged backstory to birthing her living, breathing medicine book, the responsibility of owning her role as a shaman, and how lessons from surrender and celibacy led her to find sacred union with Luke Storey.  We also talk about: Exploring the death portal  The potency of illustrations in Animal Power  The meaning behind The Eagle Condor Prophecy  How to connect to your power animal The responsibility that comes with spiritual gifts Advice on surviving a spiritual awakening  The inner work to finding an aligned relationship Sponsors: Beekeeper’s Naturals | Go to beekeepersnaturals.com/almost30 or use code “ALMOST30” for 25% off your first order.
