99 —The Path of Resilience: Exploring Ancestral Wisdom with Dr. Oscar Perez

Season #5

In this episode of the Unboxable podcast, host Alena Turley, a somatic therapist and educator, sits down with Dr. Oscar Perez, a soul recovery specialist.

Dr. Perez shares his journey and extensive experience in healing emotional, physical, and spiritual trauma through traditional and indigenous practices. He introduces his book 'The Flowering War,' which focuses on healing ancestral and generational trauma, rooted in the Toltec tradition. The discussion delves into the concept of 'grief bearers'—individuals who carry the unprocessed trauma of their lineage—and the importance of reconnecting with the land and nature to heal these deep wounds. Dr. Perez also discusses his passion for martial arts, exploring the interplay between trauma and martial arts training. Alena emphasises the need for heart, presence, and alignment over mere hustle, inviting listeners to join her Lion Life Method for ongoing somatic support.
