I was a really sensitive kid, I was overwhelmed, I didn't feel safe.

From my environment, I didn't feel safe with my own thoughts.

For a long time I felt powerless.

I had to take radical responsibility for the path that I wanted to create.

When you give yourself permission to go inwards,

when you give yourself permission to face off with unexpressed emotions and pain,

you're making more room for all of the things that you truly want.

Breathwork is a tool to access our subconscious mind so we can start to do the work. We can go

back, we can revisit the past, we can bring up unexpressed emotions and memories that haven't

been processed. We can process them, we can let them go so that past event no longer affects us in the same way. It's a lot of people, they don't have those tools, they don't have that knowledge, they don't feel okay, they feel broken, they're suffering, they're stuck, they're looping in cycles. But when we remember that we are creators, we can take conscious control of our physiology, we can move beyond that stress response. We can step into calling forward what we want. That's when we start to play the game, baby.

That's when we start to really live.

And we're starting to co-create our own reality.

Hello, beautiful humans.

Welcome back to the Know That Self podcast for every single week.

We get the honor and privilege to sit down with a brilliant mind and open heart to help us

know ourselves better each and every single day.

My guest today is a dear friend.

I am so looking forward to this conversation because he is an artist, a mentor, someone who

co-founded Awaken Breathwork. He travels all around the world

supporting high performers, celebrities to really activate them and to help anybody who's

struggling with trauma, suffering, a lot of us, to move through that to alchemize the denser

energies into light. And he's somebody that is so inspiring to see his own path, his own journey. And he's just real. He's like not trying to be anything he's not. And it's a breath of fresh air and a world of secondhand versions. So without further ado, thank you so much, Lucas Mack. Let's go. Let's go. We got our cacao. We got our cacao, sir. And we're about a blast off. I'm already busted. It's go. Well, the first thing I want to say is thank you for having me here. And we were talking about it just before we started rolling, is that this is your Dharma. This is what you should be doing. So it's cool that you're just inviting me into the space. And for me, it's a privilege and honor to be here with you, like, as a friend. And then also just to talk our talk. And I'm excited for this, where this conversation is going to go. And I guess my intention for this conversation is to all of you watching at home for you to feel empowered, for you to feel a sense of that you can do
