Ep. 193: Master Your Breath, Transform Your Life (feat. Christopher August)

On this One Time on Psychedelics , if there is one modality aside from psychedelic medicines that has assisted me immensely over the last decade in my life , it is breathwork .

From all the varying styles available to us to the fact that , no matter who we are or where we are in the world , that we always have access to our breath , I truly feel that breathwork is the perfect bridge to bridge the gap between the regular world we live in each day and the ethereal world that we all yearn to bring more into our day-to-day lives to

experience the magic therein .

Today's guest in the show is a returning guest and one that you all know very well , and in today's episode we dive into his brand new book , appropriately titled Master your Breath , transform your Life , and we also dive into what we have both noticed occurring as we have continued to do our monthly breathe with cannabis workshops , which bring the powers of cannabis

and breath work to the world at large . So please help me in welcoming my cosmic brother , christopher August . Back to the show . Chris August , you gangster bro , man , am I so excited to always do episodes with you , man ? You know , we were just talking about just dialoguing , man .

You know , I mean , there's so much stuff that we were talking about coming through for this episode . You know , specifically , your book's coming out soon . Congrats on that , dude . I definitely want to get into the details of that .

You know what's going on in the world right now the human 2.0 turning on right , the rays in , uh , human consciousness that we're really feeling right now . A lot of things going on in the consciousness that we're really feeling right now . A lot of things going on in the world that I personally feel are leading to that . You guys can read between the lines .

Maybe we'll get into it , but before we get into all the juicy stuff and also more we're going to get into we have some jinky stuff , breathe with cannabis stuff , all sorts of fun stuff , man , that's why I love to be with you . But before we get into all that , man , how's your day going so far , bro ? What's new in your world ?

I'm like no , first of all . I mean anyone's telling me personally understands I'm already pretty much a goofball as it is . So when I connect with cannabis , the laughter just goes to 11 and the wise words the spinal tap . So you know , when I'm doing podcasts and whatnot , if I was connecting with cannabis a lot , I'd probably be even more of a goofball .

But that's the only episode on this show . Angelo Sisko's old podcast , the Alpha Heavy podcast , on his birthday where he wanted to smoke a joint at 9 am , which I haven't done since I was like 17 . But that came out like probably like three years ago . But that was the only other time , bro . So you get to share that moment with me , bro .

We get to share that together .

I'm going to have you talk , obviously , much more about it , um , but I'd love if you could share with the listeners . You know what inspired you to write this book , what the subject material is kind of all about and what your hopes and dreams are for the book moving forward . You know what do you hope it does when it releases into society .

You know what's it meant to do for those that read it , et cetera , et cetera .

Of course , at that time , at 17 , I didn't really know much of anything and I didn't really know what I was going to write about , but I knew that there was this spirit within me that wanted to be expressed and , of course , little did I know that , many years later , that spirit would be breath .

And how much breath has impacted my life , from nearly losing my life in 2013 and a whitewater rafting incident and nearly drowning to death , to then being revived and having that one source , which is my breath , to come back to life and feeling this deep gratitude and love for the life that I have to .

Then , you know , working alongside you , creating beats and breath and the app that we have and facilitating for thousands of people across the world , the breath over the past decade has had a profound impact on my life and I feel that it is one of the most important master tools that we have , and so the book titled Master your Breath , transform your Life is a

dissemination of what breath means . Right , what is breath and how can we use the power of our own breath to heal our trauma , to discover our higher purpose , to expand our consciousness and to manifest and magnetize our dreams . And that's kind of how I broke up .

The book is , in these different sections , of course , telling my story , you know , and bringing the listener on this deep journey within their own breath , through the support of practices and different guides and all of these things that I've included .

So I always tell people it's more than a book , it's a comprehensive guide to really truly living a better , more fulfilling , more authentic and freedom filled life . And yeah , there's just so much here that you know I'm really excited about . It comes out on December 12th . I feel like you know my intention around .

It is for to reach , of course , all of the right people and all the people that need to receive this message during this time of great transformation and change , which , of course , we're going to get into today , and how the breath is so pivotal for this change that we're going through .

Or four minutes , three minutes , something like that . You know some of these breathwork people you know , like yourself , can probably hold a little bit longer , but you know the breath is something that is always with us until we leave this realm .

At the same time , it's still being demystified For a lot of people that don't even know breath work is a thing . It was amazing when you did that interview on one of those news channels , because I imagine a lot of people got to hear about breath work that otherwise wouldn't have heard about it .

Regardless if it's just some down regulatory breathing to calm you down , if you've had a stressful day , or if you're looking to do cold exposure , or you're looking to open up the subconscious like we do and breathe with cannabis , you know there are endless ways to see ways to utilize the breath and with the raising consciousness right now that is going on in

humanity , I don't think there's ever been a better time in history that I can remember anyway , or that I've heard about that it's more important to understand the foundational layer of breath Because , again , like you know , our ability to regulate our nervous systems , our ability to find balance and peace in an otherwise chaotic world , is directly related and correlated

to our ability to live an actual fulfilling life and a high quality life . So I'm really excited about this man . It's really cool and congrats on getting that done , man .

I feel that again at this time , at this juncture point , we are going through such a massive upheaval and I personally , of course , can't really truly conceive everything that's going to happen and go down over these next five or 10 years and the change we're going to witness .

But I do have a feeling that it's going to be something that is beyond our wildest imaginations and it's been spoken about in so many wisdom , teachings and cultures , about this time we live in now .

And this time we live in now is something that we as souls chose to sign up for for a reason , and I couldn't be more ecstatic and happy to be alive in these times , even though they may be chaotic , they may be wild and crazy . There is a visceral experience of a shift in consciousness happening right now , in this moment .

But I will say that after the election , there has been this feeling and I've heard this from quite a few people and I've talked to some friends about this , and even Rachel as well where it almost feels like there's a new energy in the air . And what I can say about something that is obviously beyond words is that it feels really good .

Something feels like peace , something feels like forward momentum . And you know , again , I'm not going to say it's because of XYZ or this thing . All I'm saying is , after a certain event , I'm now feeling a certain energy and I think that we've seen a lot happen in the last four years . You know We've seen the pandemic happen .

We've seen , you know , the biggest psyop potentially ever created , you know , go under and we're seeing a lot of people wake up from that . You know , as a result of it .

You know there's so many people I work with that , you know , were otherwise not interested in a lot of the things that you and I talk about , that I talk about on this show often , and I'm sure everyone tuning in is interested in that . When 2020 hit , it really catalyzed them to wake up , and you know .

So I'm really grateful for these otherwise very challenging events because they are forcing humanity to start looking within , because , again , I think that what politics is showing in all of these things is that , hey , no one's coming to save you , right ? Like , if you honestly think that your freedoms are based on someone else , then you're losing the battle already .

You know , and that's why you and I , you know , and many people I have in the show talk often about getting out of the jurisdiction of if you're in the United States , you know , operating out of trusts .

You know , like learning your rights , like getting back onto the Republic , not the democracy , right , like all these types of things , and most countries have a same , same but different type setup that you can get into if anyone tuning in is from a different place in the world . But you know , again , it's like it's time to take our sovereignty back .

You know it's time to stop expecting that anyone is to blame or is to reward for what's going on in society . You know , like , really , at the end of the day , everything out there and how we see it is just a projection of what's in here . You know , like the last four years there was a lot of chaos , let's say right .

But personally for me , I was able to see that as like wow , this is really exciting . And the analogy I usually give is like it's like an independence day , right , where you know shit's going to hell in a handbasket and the president in the movie goes to area 51 . And most people are like , oh my God , the world's ending .

This is really challenging and really scary . But this guy's like , oh my God , I've never been this excited . We've had the spaceship for years and now everything's starting to work . We could never figure it out . So again , same events , different viewpoint on it , right ? So that's what I'm kind of articulating here .

Right Is that if you do the inner work on yourself to realize that it's all up to you , then when life lives right and the world does what it's going to do in the world entertainment you know , circus does what it's going to do it can simply be just something that you enjoy and you find enjoyment in it . Because what's the other option ?

Right , victimize yourself that you enjoy . And you find enjoyment in it because what's the other option ? Right , victimize yourself . That's no way to live , even though a lot of people do that . That way I did for many years , right ? So I never say that from a place of judgment , but a place of like .

I now know , having chosen both sides , which side I will choose over and over again . So very pivotal time in history for a book like yours to be coming out . Man for sure .

And when we master our inner game , the outer game , you know , changes , it transforms . It's a projection of consciousness .

And I think when more people begin to understand that like really in maybe using the terminology understand that , when they really go deep into really realizing how much this is really just a play of our own consciousness , we can really begin to change the narrative that we experience .

Right , and you know someone like a channel , like Bashar , who I really like and I really feel a resonance with what he shares . He talks about the idea that we have these infinite parallel earths all happening at once and we can choose which earth we want to live on at any given moment .

Right , we may see that there's war going on externally , right , like , it's like looking through a glass , but at that point that may not be affecting our reality and grateful that it's not . You know , there's a lot of people that are suffering from these nefarious , dark agendas that are playing out on this planet .

But overall , all the shadows that we see externally are all here to be a catalyst for us to find our light internally . And so , when we can really look at it from that perspective , everything else begins to change on a massive level and we begin to start playing the game in a much different way , in a much different light .

And the way in which I explain it and talk about it just in simplest form , using the power of your own breath , and that is a tool to shift yourself if you are getting into that state of fear , worry , doubt , lack , limitation , so forth , and you can really begin to bring yourself back to equilibrium .

But beyond that , again , I think to bring this conversation a little bit deeper and I'll kind of let you lead the way here you know we talk about human 2.0 and what does that actually mean ? So this terminology you know I've been kind of playing with for the past decade or so and now you know seeing more of this terminology coming online .

You know , specifically within the gene keys and other wisdom , traditions , traditions , there's this language about how we're actually morphing as a species , that it's not just this consciousness shift , this elevation or expansion in consciousness , but it's actually a morphing of our DNA , our genetic code , and that relates then to our physicality , our mental body , our

emotional body and so forth , and so , again , I have some theories on how this may play out and what we may experience . But even just looking at some of these teachings , specifically looking at the gene keys , there's a lot of information that's being seeded here that I think really , if we understand it , there's so much that we can gain from it .

So yeah , lots happening right now . It's exciting .

All the buttons were there , you know , everything was complete , it was a fully crafted spaceship , but at the end of the day , nothing worked . Right Now , all of a sudden in the movie , the aliens come to Earth and when they do that , everything starts working again . But like , that's kind of how I see it .

Right , we've had these things inside of us that have been dormant for I don't know millennia , you know hundreds of years , thousands of years , I'm not sure how many . And it's not that we didn't have them before , but either we didn't have eyes to see them , we weren't tuned into the right frequency . Whatever is happening is happening .

But like , why are there so many people waking up and realizing that they're channeling ? Why are there so many people that are realizing wait a minute , I don't have psychosis , I'm actually channeling , or I'm tuning into my own intuition , or I'm hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit ? Why is there such a resurgence of Jesus and even Christianity ?

You know things that you know again , I'm not a Christian and I love Jesus , but I'm not a fan of , you know , christianity , because to me Jesus , a non-dualist , would never set out to create a religion . But that's besides the point . But again , like , why are we having these resurgences where people are getting into spirituality ?

People are getting into , you know even religion to a deeper degree again , but kind of like religion 2.0 as well . You know , not necessarily all the dogma , but some people are getting into that too and hey , if that's what they want , great . You know no judgment here .

But the other thing too is , you know , when you look at crypto or you look at , like , the financial realm , right , people are starting to take their money out of banks , stop trusting centralized , you know , organizations , people are starting to stop going to big grocery stores and start doing co-ops , right , like what is all this stuff ?

Pointing to how I look at it at least through one side , because , again , this has many different sides . This , you know , subject we're talking about .

But you know again , like if I had to kind of put it with a nice bow under it , it would be self-empowerment , realizing like , hey , even though these things like big grocery stores or big banks are there and in theory , they sound great .

Let's actually start investigating them and when we do , we start to realize maybe these aren't as secure as we thought they were , and that's okay , right , they'll still be there .

Again , I'm not going to say they're all bad or whatever , but what we have to also start looking out of , like what's going to happen if , let's say , this bank goes under or another great depression event or whatever .

And instead of just giving all of our power to these institutions , we're starting I'm starting to see a big resurgence of people saying I want to be responsible for whatever happens to me .

I want to make sure that I'm the only one responsible if anything goes right or anything goes quote , unquote wrong in my life , if anything goes right or anything goes quote , unquote wrong in my life .

And what that's represented above to me is people taking more power back because and also realizing their own power , because in order to do that , it takes a lot of courage , right , it takes a lot of courage , Like for me to get into crypto , for instance .

It's scary , it's a brand new landscape for me , I've never been in it before , but at the same time , I have more of an oomph to do it than ever , right . And then , when it comes to food , and even what we're seeing now with the election , with RFK going after seed oil , supposedly , we'll see what happens , right .

I don't like to get all my eggs in one basket , but Joe Saladino being the head of big ag , right ? These are huge , monumental things . Now , again , like I said , politics is a thirst trap . So we'll see what happens , right .

But even the idea that someone who's actually into regenerative agriculture is going to be the one in charge of agriculture , even the idea that someone who is actually looks the part , be the one who's teaching health and be the one who's doing regenerative ag and doing the agriculture in the country , but you know , again , like common sense isn't so common anymore .

This has been around for a long time . Like you know , it's it's not new for regenerative agriculture to be better for the earth and conventional farming . But why is it taking so long and why is it happening right now ? All these things seem to be happening simultaneously .

And if we think about hermeticism , for instance , as within , so without , if we see the without changing it has to be representative through the laws of nature , of the within state .

And if we're all one being , one dreamer dreaming all of this into fruition , then it seems like that one being that's manifesting as an illusion of 8 billion separate selves is waking up to the real nature of what the dream truly is , and the best microcosm for this is lucid dreaming .

You know , if you're starting to become more conscious in life and you're starting to ask questions , eventually you'll start asking what is the role of dreaming in my life . You know like , what do dreams mean ? And maybe you'll find Carl Jung and you'll start diving into dream analysis . You know what Freud did and all these people .

But eventually you're going to find lucid dreaming and you're probably going to put some focus into that and you're going to start being able to control your dream in an otherwise unconscious state .

Right , you're going to start to become conscious of it , and I really think that's just a microcosm of the macrocosm , what's happening in the grandiose dream that we're going through .

And so it's no coincidence that all these things are happening simultaneously Because , again , if the within is where it starts and the within is where it's starting , then of course anything and everything in the without is going to come to surface . Look what's also happening with all the child sex trafficking , all that horrible shit that's been going on forever .

Right , people have been talking about this for at least 40 , 50 years . Right , there's been evidence out there , but it's almost like humanity is now , especially in this country . I'm not sure about other places , I don't live there but people are like enough is enough . Right , I'm going to take my kids back out of school .

I'm going to be in charge of their education . I'm not going to put experimental vaccines from lizard beings into my body or into my family's bodies . Right , like enough is enough , like the buck stops here . And that's what I'm really seeing is a return to .

I am responsible for my life , I take the blame if something goes wrong and I also reward myself when something goes right . And that is a stark difference to what I've even seen get heightened in the last four years .

Right , you know , in the last four years and I'll end with this because it's got a monologue here but , like you know , in the last four years , we almost saw one of two things happen , and I'm not sure what happened Either the side of , you know , supporting child sex trafficking and all this crazy shit was getting farther , and that's what drove us to be like

enough is enough , or it's that we're waking up , and so the things that were once not that noticeable are now sticking out like sore thumbs because we're more sensitive , we're more aware now . So I'm not sure which one of those things is accurate .

Maybe both , maybe neither , whatever but I do see that there's a big shift that is happening right now for sure , and I'm curious your thoughts on that whole monologue .

some terms influencing our experience here and just from a standpoint of moving into this Aquarius time of this next 20 years . What does Aquarius represent ? Aquarius represents the humanitarianism , right , and it's advanced technology coming forth , it's all of these things being revealed .

Aquarius has a rebel side to it , right , so Pluto's moving from Capricorn into Aquarius , old structures , corrupt structures , being dissolved and new things being built , so that's a cycle that's always been happening for all of existence in the cosmos .

Now we can then go even bigger , and we can go and talk about the yugas , right , the Kali yugas , and these cycles that we go through , the bigger cycles of what the Mayans spoke about , these 26,000 years where you know so , about around that number cycle that is happening , and now has been this great turning that's happening on this planet .

Now , to go even deeper , what you were speaking to was basically taking back your power right and taking back your sovereignty . And where is your power center in your body ? It's the solar plexus , it's the third chakra , and your solar plexus , it's the third chakra , and your solar plexus is where the seat of your power lies .

Now , all of our energetic centers , individually , collectively , have been distorted as a result of . You know many things that we've already mentioned , which we don't need to go down that rabbit hole even more , but we already know what that is and so what is happening .

And so the synthesis of the gene keys , and why I like how this brings it all together , is that in the 55th gene key , which is the shadow of victimization and the gift of freedom in the city of freedom , what Richard Rudd talks about in this gene key is that this is the next evolution of humanity and we are moving into this now sixth race , and through

this we are going through the transmutation of the solar plexus . Okay , so now let's take it even one step deeper . The solar plexus what does it represent ? Not only our power , but it's our sun , it's the solar energy . Now , there has been many theories that I've heard over these many years about this great solar flash . Have you heard of this ?

And this great event would be it would be an event in which there would be very heightened and extreme solar activity and it would emit this massive electromagnetic flash that would essentially wipe out everything on the planet as far as technology is concerned electricity , all of that and it would be like a reset in a way , and this flash would essentially bring us

back to a place of homeostasis , not only nature externally , know nature externally but internally as well , and that there would be three days of darkness .

And that in these three days of darkness right , it sounds sort of biblical in a way as well that we would go into this place of stillness and from that we would rise like the Phoenix from the ashes and from there consciousness would completely shift on this planet . Now , that's a theory that's talked about .

Now I've kind of I love this sort of stuff because it brings me into my own , you know , philosophical type of mind , where now I'm comparing to the gene keys and what the gene key says about this transmutation through the solar plexus .

So if everything happens from the inside out , we , if we went through a transmutation of the solar plexus , so if everything happens from the inside out , if we went through a transmutation of the solar plexus and something happened there genetically , whatever that is we may experience that externally as a solar flash , because the sun represents that solar energy , right .

And so this got me really excited when I put this two together because I'm like , okay , well , if everything's happening internally , it happens there first . Put this two together because I'm like , okay , well , if everything's happening internally , it happens there . First we have the shift and then externally it happens Now .

One more thing that I'll mention before I pause is that in the gene keys , in this 55th gene key , it talks about these three marker points 1987 , which is the harmonic convergence .

This is the male and female coming together in the sense , not just externally , gender wise , but the polarities coming together in this way , and this is a catalyst of sorts where it might not be something as an event we experienced right in 1987 when it hits , but it's something gradual that happens over time .

The next marker point is 2012 , which is the melodic resonance , and this is what the Mayans talked about , and this is where people were freaking out like , oh , it's going to be the apocalypse or the end of the world , because the calendar is ending on 2012 and we're all doomed . Well , we know that didn't happen .

It was another marker point and this is another blending where consciousness is beginning to rise even higher . The next marker point , which is yet to come and I bookmarked this in the book so I can read just a few things through this is 2027 , which is the rhythmic symphony . This is the third marker point .

Third and final marker point , it says beginning in the year 2027 , our planet will begin a gradual process of falling silent , into a state of awe . That's the first sentence and I was like , oh okay , this is interesting If I'm thinking of the solar flash and what I shared .

Perhaps there's a grand event that happens that brings us into a state of awe , a state of darkness for a moment . That brings us into a state of awe , a state of darkness for a moment .

Between 2012 and 2027 , a core awakening fractal of humanity will lay the foundations of a new world that will , over many generations , reshape this planet from the inside out . Old systems will crumble as the new order arises unscathed within the midst .

This time will mark the phase of recreating Eden , which never left this planet but remained as an energetic blueprint . Harmony and melody will be synthesized here into a divine universal rhythm . For the first time , humanity will hear and be the virtuoso soloist in the great symphony of the spheres .

At a certain point in our future , beyond 2027 , we will finally discover the wonder of simply being there . Really will be nothing left to do on earth but enjoy the garden , something our species has not yet managed to do dude , let's party's party , bro .

It's almost like you know , if you ever take an MDMA that come up , like where you're like , oh man , I'm feeling something that feels good , like that's what I'm feeling right now .

You know it's like a grandiose come up on MDMA that I'm feeling , but it's very natural and it's very much more drawn out , like I mean , I've been feeling this for the past four years but it's been intensifying . Last night I was on the couch , we were watching something or whatever , and I had had a little bit of a headache throughout the day .

You know I drove back from Virginia and usually a 12-hour drive will just type my neck up a little bit . So we were sitting there and all of a sudden , you know I had been paying attention to the headache and I remembered like , well , probably shouldn't pay attention to what I don't want there anymore . So I was like what else can I tune into ?

And I felt Like you know , if you get the chills , you know it's going to be kind of hard to break down , but if you get the chills , it's kind of like this . It's like like that Imagine if it could just stay like the like right there and so like it's kind of like mid chill , but it's not moving , like it's just there .

That's what I was feeling and it wasn't like a 10 . It was probably around like a five and a half , six , six , so it was enough that I could like wrap my head around . It wasn't all encompassing my body , but it was there .

And I couldn't help but wonder , like when you think about kundalini energy or any of these things we talk about , it felt like another level of that , like a solar flare type thing happening to my being , where it was almost like an upgrade or something , where energy was on the rise , but it was almost like it didn't just rise up and go out , it was more

like it flew throughout my body and then just stayed right at a perfect harmonization . I have no idea what to make of that , but it felt relevant to bring up when you were mentioning this because it just intuitively hit me like there's something to do with that feeling and the feelings I've been feeling and what you just said , and again it's .

You know we're not meant to be able to put it into the words because ultimately it is a surprise and , like Christmas , the most important or the most fun time to open your presents is Christmas morning , not before or not after , right . So 2027 feels like that Christmas moment for us and personally for me it feels really good .

There's a lot of doom and gloom right now in the world . A lot of people that you know unfortunately externalize their safety , that are now realizing like , hey , you're not going to be able to control out there , but what you can control is internal .

But I feel , like you know , for those of us that have been doing the work maybe a little bit longer , maybe because our souls were meant to do it at that time doesn't make anyone else bad or behind or whatever , but I'm starting to see that difference . Maybe that's how I was back in 2012 .

I don't know to people that were older , you know , but I'm starting to feel that and I'm starting to see that not divide but differentiality or differentiating factor of people like yourself , me , you know , aaron Abkey , let's say Ty , like all our close homies that are like oh yeah , dude , this feels really good and we are so ready for this .

And then a lot of other people that may just be hitting that moment of like , oh my God , things are way worse than it seems right . And actually it's like well , no , you're just seeing your shadow , but you're seeing it out there .

Once you start to own it in here , yeah , it stings a little bit , maybe a lot of it , but once you realize it's all you , then actually it's so freeing , because then you can just start healing that in yourself and therefore out there just becomes a wild entertainment show , you know . And so , yeah , it's a really cool time to be alive man .

I feel extremely grateful that we're alive in this time in history .

Just to put it in a little bit more context and just give a little bit more , I guess , feeling to what people may be experiencing and what some might call awakening or ascension symptoms .

There's many words we can put to it , but at the end of the day we are either subtly or very noticeably experiencing some level of an upgrade , and this happens in a myriad of ways . Oftentimes it happens when we least expect it right , like those that maybe are on the spiritual path that are doing all these practices , hoping for this massive illumination moment .

That's generally not how it happens . Now we can have breakthroughs or what we might call Satori type of moments where it's like an enlightened state , and sometimes that can come through the realms of breath or plant medicine or anything else . But at the end of the day it's a gradual rise that's happening .

And it's also important to note that the descension is equally as important , if not more important , than the ascension , because we have to descend into the shadows , into those fear frequencies , into grief , into rage , into anger , into all of these areas in which we've suppressed and repressed for so long , in order to rise .

We can't just rise without facing our humanity , and I think that's what people forget in the spiritual community . It's all about yeah , I want to meet the divine light and we're all divine . Yeah , we are . We are divine and we are human .

But at the end of the day , we need to embrace both aspects of self and through that total embrace and acceptance of that , we inevitably will rise .

And from there , these latent powers that we sort of alluded to and talked about in the beginning it's literally what scientists were to call junk DNA is turning on and therefore , these latent powers , which we might say psychic abilities or intuition , telepathy , lucid dreaming , all these things that we all inevitably have , as humans , the power to do these things they

are all beginning to come online and show themselves where we , when we're ready , begin to experience them . And sometimes , when we're not ready , and those times , for someone that might not have awareness , it might seem like you're going crazy , right , or you're having a mental breakdown .

But this is who we are , at our core and when we embrace that , we can truly step deeper into our sovereignty , into our power , into our freedom and so forth .

And so again , whatever is going to happen , whatever is happening now , the way I look at it is to use the tools that I have , which is one , my breath and , of course , many other tools but just accepting life as it comes to me , right , and , of course , being the co-creator of it , but really being in that receptive state .

Because I think another part of this conversation which I think is equally as valuable as what we've been talking about is the rise of this energy that we haven't been used to and some may characterize that as the feminine and the feminine has been oppressed , and I'm not just speaking from a gender standpoint .

Females on this planet yes , that's been the case , because there are external reflection of our own feminine , but all of us have rejected our own feminine nature , and that feminine nature is speaking loud and it comes through in a very strong way . I've felt this personally .

All my clients , you know that , have been so much in the head space and just caught up in there and unable to feel , unable to connect with themselves .

This energy is rising up and it's telling us it's time to open our hearts and lead from this space and allow the mind to be a servant of the heart , and this is the blending of the masculine and feminine that inevitably will take place as consciousness rises .

So it's kind of like the same idea where the more willing and ready and courage , courageous enough you are to pull the arrow back and go into the icky stuff , the stinking thing in the limiting beliefs , the unconscious stories , the unconscious trauma , whatever it may be right , the more that you are willing and ready to go into that stuff , the farther up your

arrow is going to shoot when that thing pulls back and launches , you know . And so I think that's a really good analogy to kind of like capitulate this , because I think for a lot of people probably not the listen to this show , you guys are probably far down the rabbit hole by now .

But you know , for a lot of people they can't understand like well , wait , how are happiness and sadness related ? It's like they're polar opposites of each other , right ? Or maybe I mean depression , ecstasy might be more polar opposite , but you know , again , they're , they're two polarities of each other .

And so if we want to be able to access these higher states , we must be able to also get into our human states , right , get into the icky stuff , get into all that kind of stuff .

You know , the more that we do that collectively and individually , because it all goes together , the faster this is all going to go , and I think that's why we're starting , or at least for me , and I imagine you probably feel similar , but I'll toss it back to you in a second to ask . You know , I feel like it's becoming exponential .

Four years ago it was starting , but it was kind of slower . Now it feels a lot faster . Time is speeding up , like everything is just getting faster , right , and it's almost like we're clearing our cookies as a collective right .

That's kind of what it feels like , just like when you're reading the gene keys , they were talking about the whole idea of human beings being able to actually remember how to be humans being , not humans doing . You know that is fully a feminine thing . Right being is feminine , doing is masculine and neither one is better than the other .

But everything in life requires balance , right , it's one of my core values , is the middle way , because it's a reminder to myself . You know , never get too far in one direction , never get too far in the other .

But I , I will tell you , man , one of the most healing events of my life on LSD was when I remembered how to be , and , fortunately for me , I didn't have a choice in the matter . Lsd made it very clear that I could either be or I would probably have a psychotic break when this experience happened . So that was back in 2017 .

And I feel like I got a really good foreshadowing of what was to come . And I'm telling you guys , oh my God , that is the sauce .

Like being able to sit there and just really enjoy looking at a scenery , hanging out with your partner enjoying a cup of coffee or cacao or whatever it is to get your rocks off , Just like really being able to fully be in that moment . Oh , my goodness , so amazing .

And I think we're starting to see that right , with everything that's happening right now and you know the outside collective what are people starting to say ? Hey , let's homeschool our kids again . Hey , let's get the nuclear family back , right , these are things that at one point were overlooked . Oh , we don't need any of that stuff .

We want technology and all this stuff . And I'm not saying technology is bad . Right , that's masculine , but also the feminists coming back in , people are starting to remember familiar values and core values and creating space for themselves .

And also think about how many people are no longer working at a nine to five job , right , choosing to do what they love in life , even in the face of , you know , their family's approval , or these kinds of things .

Think about how many people are trying just new things out , you know , traveling more , living in a trailer and driving around , right , like you know , these are things that , to me , all speak to . Hey , there's actually something more important than just going to an office and producing for a gigantic mega corporation .

You know , there's more important things than upgrading my car every year or just buying the bigger house in the face of me being happy , right , like there's starting to be some real big shifts in the values I see people tuning into , and that is , for me , as a result of the feminine energy coming back into balance with the masculine .

And just like those um balls you know , the metal balls that you , you know , swing one from the other side and then the other one has a complimentary swing . Well , again , like it's almost like we had the feminine energy that's coming in really hit right . So the other side's going and it's finding its balance point .

You know , and I think that's what we're gonna be seeing over , maybe until 2027 , maybe for a lot longer , I'm not sure you know but I think that's what we're coming into and I think that ability to be is when you found that perfect middle ground in the center . So it's really cool . You know , I'm very hopeful .

It's causing us to see and to witness and to experience these different parts of ourselves that have been quite uncomfortable because we've been in a hyper-masculine state , whereas , again , the masculine is not bad , the divine masculine is powerful , it's leadership , it's protection , it's providership , it's all of these beautiful qualities matched with the divine feminine ,

which is intuitive , receptive , creative and so forth . And when we bring those two together as counterparts , there is a sacred marriage .

And in fact , the next section in the gene keys after I read that paragraph on 2027 , it talks about the sacred marriage , the sacred union , and that's not just externally right , this is internally the sacred union that's happening and that's what this whole shift is about .

It's about marrying those parts together and overall , yes , with that bow and arrow example and everything , it's contraction happens before great expansion , and so it feels like this tightening right , the tightening of grips , of control that we might see from our systems and structures and politics and so forth , to then that being tightened so much that it just breaks

apart and falls apart . And that's what's happening internally within us Constriction , tightness , all of this tension that we are feeling is a result , because we're about to break out of that eggshell that we've been in and experience a whole new way of living that I don't know if any of us can fully comprehend Maybe to some degree .

Those have been on psychedelics . But beyond that , I believe that this is going to really catalyze the release of our true genius and our true essence . And how awesome is that to know that we as souls chose to be born at this time , to incarnate into this earth school , to experience this type of incredible experience , whatever that might be .

Again , I feel , just like you do , very optimistic with what is happening . I do feel there is going to be even tighter control measures and contraction . That is going to happen before that , but I do , inevitably . I don't , I don't fear that .

I'm like okay , well , bring it , you know , I know who I am in myself , I am self-assured in my own light , nothing can fuck with me , I will be just fine .

And when you know your power , in that way you're , you're unfuck with the bull , you're untouchable , and that's really what my intention is for the people that I serve , in whatever capacity that might be , is to bring people back to that place where they feel that within themselves to feel alive and to live free .

That's my mantra , of my brand , and that's what it's all about . And when we can do that , that truly is when we're living from that place . We are truly sovereign and we are truly free .

And you know , what came to me when you were talking about the deeper contractions and things like that is it's almost like , you know , a tsunami , for instance , right , let's picture a tsunami where no one lives , so no one has to think about people dying or whatever .

So let's just picture a town that has done the best to ward off a tsunami and there's no one living there , right , so we can be very positive about this . But , like , imagine if there's a tsunami coming right , like a big one , no amount of holding that back is going to keep it back .

Maybe the first couple of , like you know , I don't know what you call the first waves in a tsunami , maybe the first couple , but eventually it's going to topple .

And I think that's all that any of us have to remember during these times is that whatever energy we're feeling is way stronger than whatever type of energy the old system is going to be able to put up .

You know , against us Because , again , if you think about , say , the powers that shouldn't be whoever they are , right , these people that would , you know , force more contractory measures and things like that .

They are very few in nature , right , they may have a lot of resources , but we're talking maybe 10,000 , right , maybe even 100,000 , let's say , right , Maybe there's 100,000 of these people that would like the old way to sick . Well , there's about 7.9 billion people that are tuning in to a stronger power right now .

So that's why I say that , like when people start saying hey , you know what you're like . We started in the pandemic . You can take my concerts away . Thank you for taking the distraction away . I should be spending more time with my family . Oh , I can't go to restaurants . Oh , actually , I just learned about seed oils .

You can keep all that over there , right , when they start taking power away and we actually start saying this is actually a lot better , that's all you need to start seeing for you to realize like this is happening and it's too big for them to stop .

You know , no matter what because again , we're not talking about if we still had to go to their establishments or do whatever I'm just using that as a random example then they would still have power over us , but they're actually starting to take things away and we're actually , uh , preferring it , you know .

And so , at the end of the day , it doesn't matter if we're in the woods with a hut , with the right friends and family around cooking over an open fire , right Like we're starting to find happiness from within , and that's what creates unfuck , with ability and , just like you were saying , you know , this is why I really feel like so many people are in the

roles that we are right facilitators , healers , coaches , etc . Because you know , just the same way we needed to find our way out of it .

A lot of people you know are finding their way out of it and those people , when they find their way , are going to be the next people that help other people find their way and it's going to just exponentially grow very fast .

And that's one of the many reasons I'm so grateful for Breathe With Cannabis and what we do together and what we both do individually as well . You know we always you know joke for the listeners listening in that . You know me , chris now we always say the we're the Wu Tang clan .

You know we all do our own things , but we come together to do this together and bring our magic together . And you know the three day retreat we're doing in January you know I didn't even think about this before we hit record . But you know it's really like the perfect rendition of what we're talking about here , right , the quantum leap into human 2 .

You guys can check it out . But you know this is why we do these events , you know , because we understand that sometimes you just don't know what you don't know . Sometimes you don't have a lot of people around you that are talking these kinds of conversations . Maybe you feel like a lone wolf .

And what a great opportunity to come out and meet more people like you that you can connect with . They're real people you can hang out with , you know , so very grateful for you , brother . You know it's like anywhere I look at my reality now , it's just reminders everywhere .

You know , like no , none of our friend group , none of the people we hang out with , would ever let us fall into victimhood . You know we'd all call each other out of it and have fun doing it . You know which is one of the best aspects of getting out of that is . You know laughter is alchemizing .

So anything you can do where you can laugh with your friends and joke on each other and jokingly rag on each other , like that stuff is really to me one of the key aspects that is coming back online , of like messing with each other and triggering each other into enlightenment in a fun and healthy way , you know .

And so , yeah , very grateful for you , man , and all the cool stuff we do together . So fucking fun .

You know , aaron teaches about that law of one and that's just the polarity shift , right , it's once we reach that tipping point of 51% of service to others where each of us are being of service , right ? Gene Keyes talks about this . How can I be of the greatest service to the whole ?

Lots of systems talk about it , but once we're of service , that is when we truly feel fulfilled and we're also serving ourselves as a result of serving others , because it's all one right . And so , you know , with Breathe , with Cannabis , it's such a special endeavor and something that every month we get to come together to share .

You know wisdom teachings , you know cannabis , breath , work and do it in a way that's just so fun and so just lights up my soul Like it's . There's nothing better than that , and to see everybody receive and transform in that process . So , yeah , I'm , I'm excited for these next few additions Uh , november we got the unity edition .

December we got the polarity edition and then in January we have the quantum leap , which is just going to be a three-day online retreat . I mean , that is going to be . If you want a next level , awakening and transformation , healing , that's , that's the ticket , right there .

And , uh , you know , we put guarantees on everything If you don't have a transformative experience , we give you your money back . So come and join us and , uh , have a good time .

Right and again , like I know firsthand as well , as I know you do as well , and I'm sure any listener tuning in right now can I can identify a time in your life where you just didn't know what you didn't know . Right , I call it defragging If I haven't utilized cannabis in a while or psychedelics , and I'm feeling good . I'm going through my life .

Maybe I start realizing that my coffee intake is picking up , or I'm starting to feel anxious , or maybe I'm having a little more aggravation or frustration . Something's happening beneath the hood . But you know , I've been excited about my life experience . I've been doing business and doing whatever right and chopping wood , carrying water , metaphorically .

Well , during those times I start realizing there's something going on and it's not in my conscious awareness . So I could either sit there and try to journal for eight hours or meditate for eight hours , but for me time is the most valuable resource . So what do I do ?

I choose to utilize ancient medicines that have been utilized for thousands upon thousands of years , like cannabis and breath work to go behind the veil , realize what's really going on , release whatever emotion or limiting belief or unconscious story or an amalgamation of all three are in there , and then get back to doing my thing .

You know , the reason why I love these ceremonies every month is they're a reminder for me as well to give myself that time and space , you know , to get out of the work hat , to get out of everything that I do love . But that is sometimes overwhelming , right ? Sometimes I am getting stressed , I'm not paying attention enough , things like that .

We're all works in progress and so , you know , these meetings are so incredible because they helped me a lot , you know . I mean like every time that you're calling us back at the end I'm like , oh , my goodness , how am I going to form words ?

Because I'm out there too , you know , and then hearing when people come back and they're sharing and it fills in the gap for someone else's experience , and someone else says , oh , my God , I was trying to find the words and that person just completely contextualized it for me and watching that magic happen , because we are all one mind and you get to see it

happen every month when we do that workshop , and it's just . I'm so grateful for him so grateful for cannabis , calling on me , breathwork , calling on you and allowing our powers to synergize in that way , because it's so much fun , man , you know we just have an absolute blast doing it and you know we're going to keep them coming .

And this is why we do it , because we understand that we are strong alone , but we are infinitely stronger together . And , at the end of the day , if we can all come together and have fun and go through healing processes together , it's not as heavy because we're not alone .

And we can look around , even when our mind tries to tell us we're alone , and realize there's hundreds , if not thousands , of other people around us all doing the same thing , and in that we can realize that when we're together we are actually able to get so much farther , so much quicker .

You know , it's like that statement if you want to go far or you want to go fast , go alone . If you want to go far , go together . I think that's how you do it , you know , and I would actually beg to say if you want to go fast and far , just do it together . You know , it's just way better that way . It's really cool .

It's all very special , and I guess the last thing I'll just leave everybody with here as we wrap up is just that when you're really living on purpose which I feel I totally am on purpose , I'm in my mission , I know you are as well there's something that happens where , especially as men , I just feel very lit up , knowing that I'm serving and knowing that I'm

giving back in a way that's truly for my gifts . So if there's one step that anybody can take , it's to identify what your bigger vision is and to break that down into smaller steps to align with your values , to align with your passions and to connect with those gifts that you have inside and give those back .

To align with your passions and to connect with those gifts that you have inside and give those back . Because that is how we all do our part , aside from our own inner work , to accelerate consciousness into where we're going . And so that is extremely crucial as we move forward , where everybody's on purpose , living on purpose , aligned in their purpose .

And when I say purpose , it's not just one vocational activity , it's literally living from the depth of your own inner essence and sharing your sacred core energy with the world and from there it's authentic , it's true , it's real and people feel that , people feed off of that and that truly is how we change the world together .

And very , very , very exciting to see what's going to be coming , and I'm I'm all here for it .

All the amazing things you got going , the work with the gene keys , the breath work . You got a certification program coming up . I think it might already be all filled up , but I know that's coming up in January . You got your book releasing .

I'll make sure to put all this in the show notes , but just so they can hear it from your mouth , right , or the horse's mouth , as they say . Right , guilty , as charged , I called you a horse , but but where can they find you man ? Where can they connect with you ? Where can they experience all of your magic ?

And I'm going to be offering a free seven day course which I'm really excited about . It's called master your reality and that is going to be a really powerful experience to really tune into really everything we talked about today . And I'm also releasing a new course called power , purpose and Prosperity .

So those are the two new things on the personal side , aside from my book Master your Breath Transform your Life , which comes out December 12th . And then , if people want to go deeper into breath work , we have Beats and Breath , which is our app on Android and iOS . You can download that for free .

We're also giving a refresh to that , version 2.0 coming out December 1st , so everything's kind of being reinvigorated . And then , of course , breathewithcannabiscom , which is all where you find the Breathe With Cannabis events . And then you can find me on social media Christopher underscore August .

You know there's so many things you guys could be doing in the world and the fact that you spent it with us we are forever grateful for . I hope that I get to always meet any of you and all of you in person one day at a breathe with cannabis event or something we do live . And make sure you go check out chris's stuff . His book is exceptional .

He's going to be sending me a copy . I've checked out some . I won't I won't uh reveal any details yet , but it's really amazing and , uh , definitely reach out to him . Uh , he's got an amazing breathwork certification and if you've never experienced his breath work , definitely check out beats and breath , like you mentioned , and definitely and breathe with cannabis .

If you're open to cannabis and breath work , you can also come always and not connect with cannabis . It's always optional . We allow you to use discernment to make sure that medicine's right for you at that night . But make sure you check out everything in the show notes . Tap into Chris's world . He's doing amazing things and , bro , I love you so much .

Man , until next time , I hope .
