The Eagle Condra Prophecy - A Book Review

Animals are present to us all of the time trying to get our attention; even when we're dreaming. You'll just hear of one or see one over and over again; take note of that when it happens. They are trying to work with you. Go into Animal Power, do the practice, and find out why they're here in your life now. They are the kind of spiritual allies who really do appreciate a good invitation into your life. Animals are such great teachers of not taking for granted the information and healing capabilities and medicines that are always around us but we have to return back to that presence and that honoring reverence of them. - Alyson Charles

Power Quotes From The Show The Beauty of Divine Intervention

"When you go through the divine intervention where you have been resisting the truth of your being, the truth of your traumas, and you have been living with the veil over your head so tightly covering your third eye and living so tightly shrouded in ego and denial - once all of those systems get obliterated and you are forced to see the truth of yourself, you can't ever go back to untruth and denial any more. It can be uncomfortable but it's worth it because now you can navigate that whole spectrum of emotions and feelings. You also learn that once you get yourself through that portal of initiation, it is a magnificent process. I cannot go back to denial because it put me on a path of being unaligned with my purpose and everything else in my life." - Alyson Charles

 

The Planetary Practice of Shamanism

"Shamanism holds within it the truths across all time and all ways of both planet and all of the universes. It truly is a planetary practice that is about oneness and acceptance and unconditional love. Thus, it is an invitation for all beings." - Alyson Charles

 

How to Reveal Your Core Animal Power & Guides

"To call upon your core animal, the one that has been assigned to you for your entire life, it's a very sacred meeting and if you haven't done that yet my recommendation is to do a true shamanic journey which comes with Animal Power. You can do the journey at different times in your life depending on what you are going through and if you need a certain type of guidance, another animal will come into your life for however long you need it. If you have a meditation practice already, you can simply sit in meditation and call for the animal that wants to most serve you in your life right now but everyone receives the message differently. You might visualize or hear its name spoken in your ear. Then go to Animal Power and use it as your reference guidebook." - Alyson Charles

About Alyson Charles

Internationally renowned Shaman, Best-Selling Author and Host of Ceremony Circle Podcast, Alyson Charles, went from being a national champion athlete, top-rated radio host and national daytime television talk show host, to aligning with her calling as a Shaman after a traumatic moment provided her awakening.

Since then, her ability to share ancient sacred wisdom and divine energy and be a powerful catalyst for change ignited a global phenomenon. Forbes has called her both “a leading Shaman for expanding others into their full gifts and power” and “a full-fledged guide into your psyche,” Oprah Magazine named Alyson’s guided Shamanic journey "a top meditation to try," Huffington Post championed her as “a top limit-breaking female founder,” Dazed Magazine named her “one of the top seven wellness accounts on Instagram” and Marie Claire Magazine selected her as the cover story and "the next big thing."

Alyson's Connection to Source & Great Mother Earth

Alyson devotes her life to living by the calls and directives of Source, spiritual immersions and expansions. She preserves the ancient wisdom practices and traditions. All while simultaneously honoring the precise way her Earth mission is to work in these modern times.

Alyson’s shamanic medicine and calling works directly with the wisdoms of Great Mother Earth and Great Spirit/Source (where the name she was instructed to use, Rock-Star Shaman, comes from). She honos the sacred truths of our planet and supporting the preservation of cultures and rituals (from astral and Earth) that unite humans more deeply with their Divine power within, oneness with all that is, our planet and the unseen realms.

Alyson is often called to share these teachings and transmission to very large, mass audiences, through various media channels and to the mainstream in powerfully creative ways. This allows the energies to go to places that perhaps need it the most. She has been a leading pioneer in this work, taking it to places it has never been before.
