KEY TAKEAWAYS

Whenever you are out in nature, in the green you can feel the grey lifting
When we sleep we are alone with our thoughts and inner solitude
In solitude, you confront yourself and your thoughts
A vision quest is a beautiful thing where you are alone with your prayers
There are many things that are available to us that we don’t appreciate
A vision quest teaches you about prayer, the power of your intentions and how you want to move forward
It’s not easy but it’s important work
Being in that place with yourself brings realisations about who you are
It’s a transformative experience
You need time in solitude to experience it fully
Honour the light and be a better a human being

BEST MOMENTS

‘Being quiet and listening to the mountain and what happens in the silence’

‘To reap the benefits from solitude you need to have a principle or practice that holds you there and will enlighten your experience’

ABOUT THE HOST

Alessandro Ferullo

My mission is to empower and inspire others to feel de-stressed, better connected, open-hearted, and realise more of their potential with my podcast. By bringing in inspiring guests, Ancient and modern wisdom, short meditations and reflections I hope to inspire you to transform your view of life for the better.

From a young age, I was always searching for deeper meaning in life, asking questions on why we are here on this planet, what makes us feel connected and disconnected to ourselves and the world around us.

I started my healing journey 40 years ago with a degree in Therapeutic Massage and started my study of Qigong with my teacher over 35 years ago. I have attended many Buddhist retreats and visited Buddhist temples in China on a lecture tour.

I teach a Self Healing form of Qigong called Hua Gong. When we connect with the Universal Energy/Qi, this field of all possibilities, we can clear many health issues, transform negative emotions, re-balance body and mind & feel nourished on many levels. 

I work 1 to 1 online and in person, offer Corporate work, and have a Membership group with live weekly sessions. All details are on the website.
