In this special Maximum Medicine esoteric series, Dr. Sharon Martin explores three profound spiritual concepts that have shaped her decades of study in energy medicine, shamanism, mysticism, and consciousness work: Alchemy, Unseen Forces, and The Death Force. Drawing from the teachings of Carlos Castaneda, Don Juan, Alberto Villoldo, Carolyn Myss, indigenous wisdom traditions, and her own experiences as a healer, Dr. Martin reveals how unseen energies influence our lives and how we can consciously work with them to create transformation, healing, and spiritual growth.
