Ep. 13 | Christopher August: Unlock the Divine Intelligence Hidden in Your Breath
In this episode of ENHEARTENED, I sit down with Christopher August. We explore the breath not just as a physical function, but as a sacred portal into divine intelligence, emotional alchemy, and true inner freedom.
Christopher shares the raw details of his near-death experience on the Zambezi River, how it awakened him to the power of the breath, and how healing his father wound opened the door to deeper devotion, truth, and service. This is a deeply soulful conversation about shame, spiritual masculinity, emotional release, and prosperity as a breath-based frequency.
Whether you’re a breathwork skeptic or a devoted practitioner, this episode will expand your understanding of what’s possible when you learn to breathe fully, consciously, and courageously.
We explore:
How breathwork helps heal shame, repression, and masculine wounds
The link between breath and abundance
What it means to live a breath-centered life
How to trust life like you trust your next inhale
The spiritual intelligence encoded in every breath you take
