Dr. Alex Feng: Unearthing Taoist Secrets and the Healing Power of Traditional Chinese Medicine

from UNTOLD MEDICINE · host Dr. Michele Burklund

Embark on an intimate exploration of healing and spirituality as we sit down with Dr. Alex Feng, a Taoist priest and traditional Chinese medicine doctor. His life, woven with threads of ancient wisdom and transformative personal experiences, unfolds to reveal a tapestry of profound insights. From his early days, cured of asthma through Qigong, to his evolution into a doctor, Dr. Feng's narrative bridges the gap between the mystical underpinnings of Taoism and the grounded practices of TCM.  Delve into the heart of healing with Dr. Feng, as he recounts the early days when practicing  traditional Chinese medicine in California when it was actually illegal. Learn his journey from one of the first acupuncturists licensed in the state to a pillar of Eastern wisdom.  Dr. Feng's storied experiences illuminate not only the philosophical aspects of Taoism and meditation but also the essential human element in the art of healing. His stories pull back the veil on the delicate balance of energy and presence that a practitioner must master.  Closing our interview, we reflect on the vast landscape of medical traditions, what conventional medicine really is, and his stories and hidden teachings found everywhere from the markets of Hong Kong to the serene movements of Qigong. Dr. Feng, through his workshops and teachings, ushers in a blend of learning methods, inviting you to discover the meditative harmony within Gong sounds or the fluid grace of Tai Chi. Join us as we traverse the dynamic interplay of learning, meditating, and finding stillness, guided by a master who embodies the wisdom of an ancient practice in our modern world.Want to watch the video version of the interview?
