It has been such a long time since my last session with acupuncturist, energy healer and Daoist shaman, Paul K. Alexander, so coming together for this episode felt especially potent. We tapped into a truly organic flow and traversed so, so many layers during our conversation. 
Paul opens up about his literal and metaphorical journey “back home” during the pandemic and how his family reunion brought many suppressed memories to the surface. The experience soothed his ancestral wounds and threaded back to his current life, his relationship, and his martial arts practice. 
We also walk along his career path, exploring the many twists and turns he took along the way, from deciding to become a monk, to his time spent as a police officer before finally dedicating his heart to mastering Chinese medicine, acupuncture, energy healing and shamanism – a blended practice I’ve had the good fortune of receiving first hand. 
Like me, Paul is invested in the power of animals and is one of the contributors to my upcoming book, https://www.alysoncharles.com/animalpower (Animal Power: 100 Animals to Energize Your Life and Awaken Your Soul). I read aloud his transformative story with the raven and how it infused Paul with purpose and helped him navigate the mystery of life, here on Earth and beyond. Sit with us until the very end, where you’ll have the opportunity to join a signature Daoist ritual that is so powerful, I now incorporate into my daily life.
The Ceremonial Offering
