Transform Negative Self-Talk & Take Control of Your Mind!

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Lukis Mac and Hellè Weston delve why we experience negative self-talk, and introduce the phenomena known as Wetiko, discussing its psychological and spiritual impacts on individuals and society. They explore how awareness of this phenomenon can enable people to take conscious control over their thoughts, emotions, and actions. Sharing personal experiences with psychedelics, Owaken Breathwork, meditation, and self-reflection, they discuss overcoming habits of self-harm and self-destruction. They highlight the collective implications of negative thinking particularly in the context of media and social influence, and offer practical tools and practices, including Byron Katie’s four questions, for breaking free from this pervasive influence. The episode aims to inspire and empower listeners to take control of their mental and emotional well-being. Join in with a cup of cacao, matcha, tea, or coffee as we set intentions, breathe deeply, and embark on this transformative conversation.
