Riding the Shamanic Wave with Alyson Charles | 105

[music] Intuitively to me it feels like the shadow of the planet surfacing. This is synchronicity. This is synchronicity. This is synchronicity. This is synchronicity. This is synchronicity. This is synchronicity. [music] [music] Welcome to episode 105 of synchronicity. This marks the beginning of the third year of synchronicity. We're going into the third year. 104 of these was actually a full two years. There's 104 episodes, 104 weeks. That's pretty nuts. This week I have a really interesting episode because it kind of got fucked up. So I sat down with Alison Charles, aka Rockstar Shaman. A few days before this event we did well being in the modern age in New York City.

She was a panelist and we had a nice lovely chat for about an hour. So after our chat, I looked down at the recorder and it's not recording. So we begin to freak out a little bit. We actually handled it amazingly. You'll hear us talk about that at the end of this episode. I'm a spaz. I usually freak out when anything like this happens. Especially if I feel like I've wasted someone's time. It really does not sit well with me, but we handled it really well. We moved through it and we recorded the end of it. And then I checked back and oh, lo and behold, we did have the episode. All is well in the world.

I got back home, forgot all about it, sat down to edit this episode and what do you know? 16 minutes in, boom, cut off. So we got a little bit of the episode, not that much. What you're going to hear in this is about 16, 17 minutes of me and Alison getting to know each other. She's giving me her bio. Then you're going to hear me come in again, explain that it got cut off. And then you're going to hear about five, six minutes towards the end about some divine feminine energy stuff. And then Alison's practical tip and end of the podcast. So it's a really short, kind of awkwardly condensed episode.

That said, I'm definitely doing another one with her. I've already reached out. She was such a sweetie when I said, hey, this is what happened. Just a wonderful human being. She's got an incredibly interesting story too, which I really think you get to hear a little bit of in this episode. But we're definitely going to delve into a little bit more deeply. And also, I wanted to speak about a few other things related to this episode. One of the things that we covered in this, but you're not going to get to hear is, what is a shaman? What is the functionality of a shaman? What happens? What is done?

How do you become one? Do you have to take ayahuasca? Do you have to do all this stuff? And the answer that Alison gives, I think, is beautiful, which is no. You don't have to be involved in a certain tradition to be a shaman. A shaman who's someone who parses the unseen worlds that exist around us and translates what's going on back to the rest of us. So in that way, many of us are shaman. Shaman. Shaman. Shaman. I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about now. So this was a really interesting concept for me because I know some people are very sensitive to the idea of what is a shaman. You have to be from Peru.

You have to be in a carot. You have to be able to sing them. I don't really subscribe to that theory myself. I think that, again, anyone who can take something from somewhere in the unseen worlds and bring them back and communicate them to the rest of us, that's a shaman. So I want to be clear that Alison is not using plant medicines with her stuff. She is not using, she's not steeped in some indigenous tradition. She had some experiences that kind of woke her up to some deeper levels of herself in the world. And she's using that to kind of speak authentically with her own voice. And these are the type of people I love the most in the world.

Normal people who have had paranormal or abnormal or crazy experiences but who are able to integrate those two aspects of themselves. And we know we have the persona that we're constantly putting up and this is who we are into the world. But we also know that's not really who we are. There's other aspects of ourselves. There's deeper aspects of ourselves and trying to hold those two, the persona and our deeper self. It's what life is about, right? It's a challenging thing too. So Alison, really just a wonderful person. With that said, I want to shift gears a little bit and talk about we've had some crazy fucking things going on, right?

We've had natural disasters, earthquakes, hurricanes. We just have this Las Vegas thing, you know, the shooting that took place. So I'm going to take a minute to talk about that. So it's been a while since I've chimed in on any global or political or just stuff going on in the world events. I figured since this is a shorter episode, I could do a little bit of that here. This is all offered and said not that I have answers for this stuff but an approach that has worked relatively successfully for me related to global catastrophe, suffering around the world. Things that are just hard for us to wrap our heads around, right?

Like global disasters, natural disasters. This event that took place in Las Vegas where a guy shot and killed over 50 people and injured 500 plus. Just like we don't have really skills to interpret these events typically. So all I wanted to speak about related to this stuff is remember that if you find yourself getting sucked into a pit of despair as you're consuming all of this information about things that happen around the world. Just be aware that that's a choice that you're making. Yes, this stuff is going on and I'm not suggesting that we bury our heads in the sand and don't pay attention.

I actively read the news almost every day. But I do that because I don't walk around afterwards angry, upset, freaked out. I've spoken about this before, I don't think it's some amazing skill that I have. I think it's just I have my own issues and my own personal life and relationship life that those are my priority. I can't take on how shitty of a person Donald Trump is in my psyche. I just can't take that on. I can look at things he does like throwing paper towels to people with a smile on his face in Puerto Rico and be like, "Holy shit, the fuck is the matter with this guy?" But I can't take him into my sphere of consciousness and think about it all of the time if that makes sense.

So that's something that I think is useful. Again, this isn't to suggest that I'm not taking the spiritual bypass idea which is, "Oh, well, I'm spiritual, reality is an illusion, I don't have to worry about it." That's not what I'm suggesting. What I'm suggesting is, is find the balance between knowing what's going on in your own mental health, and psychological health and spiritual health. These are really important things to do because I get messages from people saying, "How do I deal with the immense suffering around the world? I've opened my heart, something has happened, something has changed, the veil has been lifted, and now I feel everything so fucking hard."

And I've been there, that happened to me back in the early 2000s, mid 2000s, I know exactly what that feels like, and it can be overwhelming. I often will tell people who are coming in contact with, you know, blatant psychic abilities or empathic abilities where they walk into a party and they feel the energy of everyone around them, and sometimes they can even hear thoughts or catch on thoughts that other people are thinking, which I know can sound a little crazy, but this shit happens. I'll tell them, I use the metaphor of a psychic shield. Have a way to put up a psychic shield, have a way to have something that not blocks, but at least filters through what you can handle psychically.

If that makes sense. And I know this is getting a little woo, but this is practical shit in the woo realm, so that's my new podcast. Practical shit in the woo realm. But really, just be aware and mindful of your own emotional, psychological and spiritual states as you go out into the world. That includes your immediate relationships and the news, quote unquote, information that we see around us. If you can, if you're super advanced, try to have some compassion and love for the people who really seem like they have a hard time with it. That includes our president. That includes people like Steven Paddock, this guy who shot all the people in Las Vegas.

Try to have compassion for people who are part of the NRA. If you don't agree with people having automatic and semiotic guns in this country. Try to understand where they're coming from. It's easy to label people as idiots, racists, morons, uncaring, hate fulfilled people. But the truth is, is when you really dig down and get to know people. That's not who they are. Yeah, you have sociopaths here and there, but for the most part, people just want to be loved and they want to love. That's it. It's really that fucking simple. So, if you can drop yourself back into that mind state as you're approaching all of these things in the world, I think that'll do you well.

I don't like to preach. I don't like to give advice. This has helped me. So, yeah, that's it. I've got a little off track there. Thought it was worth mentioning because I see just everywhere online people freaking out and taking this stuff really hard. Even Alexis came to me yesterday and she goes, does it seem like the world is just getting crazier and worse and worse? It kind of may be. And I think this is somewhat of a natural occurrence as we move towards some different modalities of reality. But also, I think we just have access to information we didn't have before. And I think we have more complex systems than we had before, which creates more information and opportunities for situations and experiences.

So, just remember, just remember, if you're able to, don't take all of this stuff so seriously. Don't let it bog you down, not because you shouldn't be bogged down. There's value in bog down mind states, but because you are in control of your mind state, whether you believe that or not. It's taking me a tremendous amount of time to realize that even when I'm rage filled and angry and screaming, I still have some aspect of control over what I'm doing. So, you do too. That's what I'm saying. All right. I've rambled on enough. Alison Charles, please go check her out at alisoncharls.com. She is a shaman.

[Music] We're going live from doing living marketplace. Hello everyone. How are you?

This place really is amazing too. It's really got a nice vibe to it. Thank you. Yeah. It's really cool. That's awesome. Are you okay with the music in the background? Do you want us to turn down a little bit? Let's see. Let's listen for a second in our headphones and see if we hear anything. I think we should. They're directional. I don't think it's going to be. It's a nice ambiance too. It's not a way. I think we'll be fine. Okay. If it gets like ragingly loud. It shouldn't. I don't think it will. Based on the music choices so far. So, I think we're good. All right. Cool. Thank you so much for doing this, by the way.

Are you kidding? Thank you. I'm really excited to do this and find out a lot of that. I'm really excited to do this and find out a lot about it. We spoke a few days ago on the phone last week. Was it? I have no idea. Time, honestly, right now or lately. No concept of it. Let's start with time, Ben. Okay. I was just having a conversation with one of my friends. We were talking about relating to other members of the family. And I'm putting it out. I was just out of bot mitts with my family and some of that family. They're Trump supporters. They're not my, they're my wife's family. No, I don't think anyone in my family.

But they're really nice people. They're like incredibly nice. Right. And they're from Houston. And Harvey had just happened. And a question was asked, like how? Why would God allow something like Harvey to happen in this place? And they know people who are like their homes are gone. No insurance. Nothing. And I shifted the conversation to suffering and the function of suffering. And then at some point it got into time. And I was like, yeah, time's an illusion. It's not a real thing. And it got real weird. Then it was like luckily the appetizers were done. We went into the party. So we got a nice show.

There was an easy transition away from the note that the time is not real conversation. Yeah. Time does not really exist. But let's, and I just had another one with the cab drivers. Let's start there. Like what, let's not, let's not jump right into the panelists. And I want to find out a little bit more about you because I know you've had like a really interesting life to date through a lot of different personas and just places in the world. So could you give like a nutshell kind of like, who, who are you? Right. Yeah. Who am I? I've definitely evolved a lot. And like you just touched on it does feel like in this lifetime, even just so far.

And I'm only in my middle age. I feel like I've lived for at least four different distinct life versions of myself already. I, you know, started as a national champion athlete. My dad was my coach. So I was born into that lifestyle. How long? How long did you do that? I did it from, he put me in my first race before I was three. There's picture proof. Like I'm running, waving, wearing little blue Nike running shoes. Yeah. And, and then I ran all the way through college, I ran for the University of Alabama. And I was a distance runner. So from three through 18, you know, it was intense. It was a lot of training.

A lot of twice a day training, pounding the pavement and at the University of Alabama at the time, there weren't really many trails. We actually ran, did a lot of training in the cotton fields, which was interesting. Very. Yeah. And, but a lot of pavement running. Yeah. So by the time I got to be 18, my body, your knees are like shot, I've had, I've had a knee surgery, yeah, and I had a femoral stress fracture when I was in college. I remember being on crutches for six months and I would go to class and one of my professors was giving me a hard time like, Oh, you're only, you know, or I guess I ran through college.

So I was a little bit older by the time I was done. But when I was like 18, he was giving me a hard time for being so injured and having a femoral stress fracture. I was like, do you understand that I've been running for 15 years already? Yeah. No, I mean, it's that constant too, so that was your life. That was the identity. That was the life. That was the storyline. Yeah. And I've had, I'm still working through a lot of that. I don't want to label all this traumatizing would change a second of it is all part of the journey. And that was my first meditative practice running running. What's funny?

Not, not to hit you off, but I just started running like two, three years ago, really doing it every day and like feeling, you know, the ups and downs, I'm not across country running or anything. And it's so meditative. It's like you just get into that place like once you get past, if you're not a runner, that like horrible feeling of like, I'm going to die, I want to do this anymore. It really, you get into this nice place in that second win. It's sometimes the third one. That's so cool. I get it. It's a whole other realm that you get into. And then it's just you and your connection to earth, right?

Right. Right. Yeah. No, it's amazing. It's really tough. It's like the first one up through college to college. And I always, on my own, even as a young girl, I was never one. I don't think to this day I read a fiction book. I could be wrong. Same. I mean, I did when I was younger, but now all nonfiction. So what were you reading? What were you reading? Metaphysics. Like what, like give me. Feng Shui, healing power of colors, palmistry, psychic training. How old do you remember? Like from as far back as I can remember. And so those were like the first whisperings of the truer me. Right. You know, and I also always knew from a young age, there was going to be something TV component in my life.

I thought maybe because of my athletics, I'd be the next Hannah Storm, you know, the next female show broadcaster. Yeah. So I had like sniffs and wafs of those things. And after college, I was really hitting up against like, who am I? And I thought this running thing, I don't think it's the true me. Yeah. But it's all I've ever known. And I also don't want to resist against something out of like, wrong reason. Right. Just not wanting to do it just because you don't like lazy or like not want to go. Yeah. Or just pushing against like, because my dad made me do it all my life or whatever. Yeah. Yeah.

So, but I thought, okay, let me exhaust these options and make sure that I'm correct that this is not my soul calling. So I did become my move to Florida was an advanced certified personal trainer. And then I got a division one college coaching job. Oh, wow. Those were lovely, but it did confirm it was rewarding, but it confirmed it was not my truth. Right. And that's when my first very mild and enjoyable divine intervention happened. Right. It was not the divine intervention style of my awakening day. Well, those are typically not as pleasant as people would like to imagine with the first light one was when I was training in the gym and a universe sent in a client and he was like, you should be my radio show co-host.

So they took me out of the gym. They're like, all right, you figured this out enough for this, plot me in the radio. So that's how began an entertainment and where was it? That was in Orlando floor. Yeah. Yeah. So that started version two of Alice said, my real last name is Alison Mills. All right. So there's that. Okay. So you can change the actual name. Okay. Yeah. So the stage name is Alison Charles. There's a funny high school story with that, but what's the story? Well, I was in detention. I went through a streak of rebellious streak. Me too. Do you relate to that? Oh, too. I got very familiar with security personnel, never, never anything bad or just constantly being sent to the library and in trouble.

So it was high school year rebellion school high middle school high school? Yeah. I can see that a little bit in your eyes now that I look in there a little mischievous. That's good. Yeah. So I was in detention with my best friend in high school and we were filling out the information for our senior yearbook, like, and she couldn't stand. I don't have a middle name and it always bothered her. And she said, you know, let's give, let's make up a middle name for you to put in your book. So I put out, I said, I've always loved the name Charles. So in this year in your book, it says Alison Charles Mills.

And then when I was deciding all these years later, if I wanted to have a stage name, I was like, I'll just go to the Charles. It's a great name. Yeah. It's a great name. It works. I didn't question it. It felt like an actual name. That's a good mark of a good fake name. Great. Perfect. Perfect. So the version two of me was radio, I did AM talk and then I got hired to be a hip-hop morning show host. Cool. So were you into hip-hop? I was really into hip-hop. Okay, good. Like Snoop do double G was my guy, you know, doggy style was the jam. Same language. Okay. Great. So that, that was my thing. And that was so much fun.

I was young, I could get up at 3 AM, wake the people up, you know, do that whole thing. And then I transitioned to television. So that, and then we'll hit on when I had my awakening, but radio and TV and still that's still, I mean, here we are podcasting, we're doing radio right now. I still film. Those are still key components, but now it's more, now I'm who I really am. So when I'm on media and now I'm doing interviews, I'm speaking as the shamanic practitioner, the awakened Allison, not the suffering one. So let's, that's where I want to jump in. Of course. So the, what, what was the moment describe the process of awakening.

I've asked the question so many times now I've learned that there's never a moment, there may be a spark or a catalyst, but it is clearly a process that happens. What was your trigger? What was kind of some of the circumstances or experiences around like your awakening? When I, when I became woke, as the kids say, yeah, as those young and say those millennials. Um, so I just gave my, my self way and our cameraman's also cheering because he's clearly a millennial. Oh, yeah. So it was a birth from my exfiance, you know, I, he was also an athlete at Alabama. And so we, our journey started when we were both really young.

Yeah. How old? Well, my first day when I was literally sitting outside of the training room, lacing up my running shoes for my first day of practice was when he walked to go to the baseball locker room. And that's where the story begins. So we were together for a long time. Yeah. Like 16 plus years. Oh, ho. Oh, that's a long time. That's like a really, really fun time. So long. There was a pocket in the middle where we weren't together when I moved to Florida. We were still in connection, but not in relationship. Yeah. Wow. But still doing the journey. So, yeah, but that it worked up to a point we were engaged, you know, progressing, owned up, placed in Connecticut, all that stuff.

And it all boiled down to the suffering all, all together in the relationship as a whole and myself in him, it was just continuously rising. And the pain was getting so insurmountable and the confusion and all the angst, um, all of it was getting so high, it was clearly universe, trying to get both of our attention for so many different reasons. And I was in so much denial that I was denying the heed, denying the messages. And I'm also a very, I'm a dedicated distance high performance athlete. I never give up, right, right. I'm a one, a new morality, right, I'm a Capricorn, the goat that never stops climbing.

So I was pushing away all of these messages. And I'm obviously leaving a million things out because it's almost two decades long story, but it got to a place of engagement had been called off. I moved to Brooklyn on my own. And a few months later, we were going to give it another go round upon whatever. Yeah. You say it like exhaustively, but it obviously makes sense in the context of everything. That's a wall. Thank you. That just doesn't just like, that's not how I think it's just funny looking back that it took me almost two decades to wake up from, you know, yeah, yeah. I mean, but that's, that's better than like 10 decades or like hundreds of life cycles.

That's true. And then if I had my rattle, I would rattle right now and normally carry it with me. So basically, yeah, it got to a one moment where my soul was obviously ready to hear the truth and we were going to venture back out and be public once again. And I have this vision and I believe it to be true. They called in universe source was like calling it all the archangels, all my animal totems, like all the guys are like, all right, you guys, we all got to get together. We got to put a stop to this. We're not letting rock out the door. I could feel them all coming in. And I became clear audience for the first time in my life.

Cool. Yeah. This voice told me to stop and turn around. I looked and I saw his phone sitting on my bookcase, which he never goes anywhere without. And this force truly pulled me over to the phone. And the voice said to me, brace yourself because what you're about to see is going to rock your world. And here's the other trippy thing. I didn't know his code. I was not one of those people. Yeah. It was like automatic spirit writing, punched in four numbers, ping saw, but I needed to see. Yeah. Horrific. Of course. You know, that moment designed to wake me up. Yeah. That moment, the veil lifted and I became awakened.

And in Long story short, I had to ask him to leave. The relationship was done. I was horrified. I had to tend to a lot of things based upon the information that I had received. And then I decided to fly to Indiana where I'm from to be with my family. And it was during that time when the clairvoyance instantly, a lot of my gifts instantly came alive. That's awesome. I was going to be my life and my journey with him and things about myself without any of the illusion or denial or falsity anymore. Everything was with light. That's awesome. So I was just like shell shock for a few days. Few days. That's not even that long.

Yeah. That's true. That's really not even that long considering. So everything came at once. So describe. Okay. That's obviously like a very intense way to have things happen because I mean, it sounds like what happened is you had this narrative or picture of who Allison was as a person. Yes. Even through Rocky, taking all the hits, getting up, still doing it, it maintained up into a point where it got just got shattered. Yes. So ego is basically like paralyzed for a split second. Stuff starts to sink in and it's like, oh shit. You got it. All right. I get it. So then all this stuff starts downloading, you start getting access to what people will call cities back in the day.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, what was so that period, how quickly did it take you to come to terms with I had similar things happen to me and I know a lot of other people have had those experiences and there's a spectrum, right? Some people accept it. Some people fight it. Some people think they're going insane. Yes. Like a lot of people. Carl Jung thought he was going insane. Like he was the preeminent psychologist. Oh, we can't remember where you're at, but I still have those moments. Yes. Of course. That's, that's the key right there. And this is why I'm really happy with meeting and you're a part of this event that we're doing because it's incredibly important to remember that we're still going through this event.

Yes. When we say that we had an awakening moment or something happen, it's not like, oh, we're enlightened. We've hit mystic level master 99. I will teach you. That's not what it's about. Right. But I think it's happening. And you've cracked me if I'm wrong. This has been my experience over the past decade plus more people seem to be kind of tuning in. Yes. What's going on? Whether it's these powers or things that are happening or events in their life that push them towards something or awaken them in that sense. It seems like the communities are now starting to coalesce a little bit. 100%. I mean, you have this.

We're in this lovely space here that this is this is seeming like it's happening right for real. So what was it like when this stuff started happening to you like you didn't go overnight right from now, right hip hop do you know, I know I say that sometimes I'm like from hip from hip hop radio host to shaman, right? Yeah, it was definitely a process like it was it was an instantaneous awakening in the sense that like in a one moment in time, I became awakened, though they'll lift it. I was clear on it. I was clear. Point. However, the conscious reconnection to and the remembrance of the shaman in me and my mission here on earth that took again, I can't totally remember, but I think that was like a year and a half to, to, to, you know, and some change because I just when I saw the truth of who I was, what I was clear on is holy shit, Allison.

So I mentioned in the intro, this is when the recorder cut out unbeknownst to me and Allison and we're having a lovely conversation, she's telling me about how she acknowledged herself as a shaman, some of the experiences she went through with clear audience. It was pretty much like one of my favorite conversations. We were actually remarking as we were doing it, how awesome it was and I don't have it. So we're going to pick up after Allison and I, uh, a realized that it hadn't been recording, then realized we had gotten it. Now I realize we didn't get all of it, so we pick up in this kind of weird shock, like holy shit, what the fuck just happened?

We didn't freak out and something, you know, that we've been working on for the past hour wasn't there, but now we thought it was. And so you'll hear us pick up in this kind of, uh, super filled, like, awe of how we just handled the situation back to the episode. We'll just record. And it's okay. We're good. Well, we just got through that, we did handle that really, really, really well. I think like is, yeah, I think in like a nine out of 10, I mean, I think 10 out of 10 would have just been unaffected. Maybe no problem. Just moving on. No, that's as close to a 10 as you can get. I'm pretty confident of that.

And I usually just be clear, do not handle situations like that very well. So I normally not as solid, but okay, okay. We wrote some waves together. We just had a bonding moment. We did. And it's just, you know, it's emphasizing how awesome this one was. So I don't know where we left off, but the reason I was checking, oh, it was like the ancient women golden thread. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Let's know. Let's pick that up because it's worthwhile. Um, so what do you think energetically is happening at this point with every, so we're, so we're talking about the divine feminine coming back and actually having some real effect on the world, but if you look outside in the world right now, it certainly doesn't look like that.

So what do you, what does that intuitively feel like to you intuitively to me, it feels like the shadow of the planet surfacing. Awesome. Fuck yeah, which is what is needed, you know, in order to transcend in order to shift to love and light in order to shift to truth and wholeness, embodiment of wholeness. The key is acknowledging and embracing and having the balance of shadow and light. And if we're going to deny, you know, all the pain and suffering and the shadow components of the planet, like we're never going to get to where we ultimately are going during this global planetary shift and awakening.

So it's a necessary component. It's a painful, dark, scary, sometimes horrifying one. I'm not saying that it's not those things, but it's a needed piece to get to the other side. So it's funny because this is, this is something I've been saying now for since Trump was probably elected, um, because a lot of people were understandably pretty distraught and still were distraught, myself included at times, but it does seem like this is this is shadow work. This is what people don't want to talk about when they're doing, you know, spiritual materialism or just glossing over and everything is just going to be love and light and all the time.

And I agree. The foundation of what we're experiencing is love and light and unconditional understanding and compassion, but we are here for a reason. And we do have to go through these kinds of oscillations of up and down. And if we didn't, what would we do really be doing? We wouldn't be dealing with this stuff we're supposed to. So we're just seeing more in our face, the pain and the things that have been in existence for thousands of years, but now we're being confronted with it. And that's the only thing that catalyzes change. I think so. I mean, it's hard to. That's why mindfulness is such a big thing now because that gives you the attention towards the things you should be looking at, which then gives you the opportunity of taking some action in that direction.

All right. We could literally talk about this forever and yeah, I am glad we don't have to rerecord the whole thing. Oh, that would have been exhausting, but we could have done it. We could have done it. I know that. So I have three questions at the end and then one little question at the end. So what's your favorite color purple? What's your favorite number? One. What's your favorite animal? Well, it's weird. It was almost like a simultaneous like my mouth wanted to say Panther because that's my animal totem, but Tiger wanted to be vocalized. Tiger is Tiger. It is. We're going with Tiger. Okay.

Last question. What's a practical tip you could share with people listening that's helped you in your life? I mean, maybe what I just did breath. Do you want to hear something funny? Yeah. That was literally the last suggestion. I've asked this now 103 times. That was the first time was an episode ago that someone said breath when we just said it. So yeah, breath and breath work. It's our life for us. It's Prana. It's what returns you back to the present moment when you close your eyes and reconnect and just take a centering breath. That's truly where our power is. It's what moves and can shift out old energy that needs to go.

It's what creates space for you to come in. It's what cleanses and clears our chakras. It's everything. So breath. I love it. I love Alison. Thank you so much. Thank you. I'm so glad you were able to come in here today and experience this. If anyone wants to come, it's in the middle of Manhattan doing Living Marketplace and I'm doing Awakening 101 every week and I've got events going on all the time. I would love to meet your listeners. I'm sure they're the most amazing people. They're pretty awesome. I just met a few the other week. They're really cool people. Awesome. Yeah. Thank you so much.

Thank you. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] Thank you for listening to that episode. How sweet and lovely is Alison? I know it was a short episode and you didn't actually get into the meat of what her story is about because it got cut out, but don't worry, I'm going to do another podcast with her soon. If you want to find out more about Alison, go to her website, allysoncharls.com. That's Alison with a Y1L and she's doing actually tonight Wednesday, October 4th at doing Living Marketplace in New York City from 7 to 8 p.m. She's doing a sound bath and a group healing. They're also going to be doing prayers for the Las Vegas tragedy that just happened and Puerto Rico and a lot of stuff.

She is a lovely human being. If you have an opportunity to go be with her in person, do it. I'm looking forward to sitting down with her again to record another one of these so you can find out a little bit more about what we actually spoke about. But yeah, go do that.
