What happens when your greatest fear becomes your life's calling? For Aram Levendosky, a needle phobia nearly prevented him from discovering his gift as an acupuncturist. Through a series of "spiritual bitch slaps" (as we affectionately call those universal nudges), Aram found himself repeatedly guided toward Traditional Chinese Medicine until his own healing experience made the path undeniable.

This conversation takes us deep into the four foundational pillars of Chinese medicine that create true wellness: lifestyle alignment with nature's rhythms, therapeutic bodywork, mindful movement practices, and finally, acupuncture itself. Aram shares fascinating insights about cupping therapy's ancient global history, explaining how this powerful technique creates suction that lifts tissues rather than compressing them—offering unique benefits for circulation, adhesions, and toxin release. As someone who's practiced cupping for 15+ years, his expertise reveals why athletes and celebrities have embraced this ancient technique.

Perhaps most powerful is Aram's philosophy on healing: "Your health is in your own hands. You have the power to heal yourself." Unlike practitioners who create dependency, he sees his role as simply reminding the body how to restore its natural balance. We explore how meditation, qigong, and even beekeeping (yes, beekeeping!) provide therapeutic benefits through vibration and energy cultivation. The parallels between sound healing and the hum of a beehive offer a beautiful reminder of nature's inherent medicine.
