“The creative adult is a child that survives” 🧘🏾‍♀️🤯 WOW

I did not see this interviewee coming. Absolute fan of RY X and when I saw the thumbnail on my feed I spent 2 seconds deciding whether I'd watch it. I love the music, but I was so pleasantly surprised to hear Ry as a person be so vulnerable and share who he is. You too Andre, your interview style is so welcoming and friendly, and you create this inviting space that I can't imagine anyone not wanting to open up and express in their most authentic being. Thank you both, what an incredible interview.

Just had the pleasure of being out in the Ocean with RY, he surfs waves like he sings music with grace, fluidity & expression. 🌊🏄‍♂️🤙🤜🤛

One of the most realized, actualized, wisdomed conversations i’ve ever had the privilege to observe between two men

I can’t thank you enough for this, really. So glad to be able to hear Ry speak more about him and his perspective and thoughts beyond his music. Just amazing, touching and deeply inspiring and powerful 🤍✨

Incredible how spirits allows us to recieve this beautiful honest moments just when we need it the most. Thank you for your devotion and your art ❤

The music melted my heart. Academy, stunningly beautiful.

I love the way Andre allows Ry X to get his entire thoughts out. So many podcasters interrupt, talk over, or add unnecessary commentary to their guests thoughts. Andre gets out of the way and allows the audience and the guest to continue to connect throughout the entire thoughts. Such a great interview.

As an artist this gave me so much context and clarity on how to find and understand my own process. Second time watching because the amount of gold here is crazy. THANK YOU BOTH 🫶🏻🔅

glad I'm not the alone on feeling this . Its a lonely place to be but I'm happy to have found you and this artist to help guide us along our journey. I wish you all the best and love you with all my heart .

All I can say is incredible gifts to be shared with all who are open! What an inspiration!!

Diving the ocean story was so healing🙏💜🌈 B e a u t i f u l

Rising from rock bottom segments was breathtaking

Wow. Honestly i never heard of this amazing voice until i watched this podcast. Extremely impressive, now I need to go deep into his music. As a father/ Sculptor artist I really enjoyed everything he said about going deep to the bottom and coming up for air. I started my spiritual journey this year and have had a huge shift in the narrative of my artistic expression and have been struggling to redefine my work and what I do. Know thy self podcast has definitely helped me on my journey ❤❤❤❤

RY X & Brussels Philharmonic Soloists is my go to when I need to chill down.

What a beautiful light,I was not aware about his art,etc,etc.. Just listening to his words,his beautiful voice, struggles,deep awakening spiritual journey,the connection with nature,his back ground,his moral compass,inner strength,is mind blowing!I will follow him for the rest of his life..🌺💖😘💚🌸💠😔💠💠 ❤️

I am in compete awe right now. I listen to your podcasts on Spotify but had to jump to KZread to comment how moving and heart opening this podcast has been for me. The title of this episode is what compelled me to listen to it as those topics outlined is something I’ve struggled with my whole life. I didn’t know who the guest speaker was. Right from the beginning, I was completely resonating with the lessons that were being shared, and when he played ‘Howling’ I felt such a calmness and a serenity. Just absolutely beautiful. It wasn’t until he played ‘Berlin’ that things clicked in my head. I was in a depression and sadness for most of my teenage years and when these episodes would occur, I would bathe in ‘sad music’ to kind of further anchor myself in that place and those were one of the songs I constantly had on repeat. I just knew the name of the song and didn’t know the artist name. Long story short, I would end up skipping that song when it popped up, because it would remind me of those places. But it’s done a full circle for me completely because his music was there in my lowest and in my darkness when I didn’t even know a light existed… and now it’s here again when I’m on my journey of awakening, remembering and walking the beauty way 🥹 This conversation has touched me so deeply (full waterworks) and I am so grateful for these conversations. The reminder that when we sing, it’s not a performance but a prayer to Spirit and how vulnerable that is. The reminder of play, radical honesty and true joy and the gratitude. So much juicy goodness ugh. How passionately he talks about being a father and a parent was just so moving. It felt like my heart was completely lit up and doing summersaults and backflips but also at times completely still, laying bare on her back naked. This felt like a gift from the Universe in the exact moment when I needed it most. 😭Thank you so so much for this ❤️

I thought of that as well.

I love this man so much . The way his music heals is a great gift to give . Thank you 🙏❤

This one. It hit so different. When he started talking about sinking to the bottom of the waters and your feet, get stuck in that cold, muddy pit at the bottom of the ocean. Tears stream down my eyes. Loosening slowly making your way to the surface. I felt like I was fully in it. ❤

Thank you so much for this~ the analogy of grief resonated deeply for me. As someone who has healed from both grief and heartbreak, I hope this podcast is inspirational and reassuring to anyone out there who are currently in that dark place- May you know that there’s light there to come. Also love the practises of finding joy and play~ both resonate with me, and are ways of loving that I embody continuously 🙌💞🌎

wow just wow... much to reflect on

I’ve been waiting for this kind of interview with RY, such an inspiring artist. His music is soooo deep. Thank you!❤❤❤❤

Love you both, guys ✨🙏🏼💎💛

Beautiful 777 Day Howling first time I heard of RYx 😊

Its incredible to witness how RICH each episode of Know Thyself podcast is. This one is not an exception. Eternally greateful, Andre! ✨🕉️❤️ and thank you Ryx for your devine music!! ✨🕉️❤️

This was one of the most moving podcasts I’ve listened to in a long time… RY is such a deep soul and it was an honour to listen to him speak with such authenticity and rawness 🤎

I love this 💗 totally resonate and walking back home to self

Beautiful ~ Celebrating ~ Yaaaaaaaa ~ Feeling More Love and More Free Now!

What I have taken from this - the message that I believe is meant for me - is that whatever I create must be about me and not what others may receive it because as soon as I filter in what others may think, then I dilute the whole thing that I am doing. Thank you for this, I needed to hear it.

Thank you for the wisdom. As a musician an artist for 30 years, this was extremely healing for me. Also being a hermetic adept and trying to find the balance between determination and devotion has been crunchy. Thank you.

Awesome interview...what an inspiration to hear you talk...deep like the ocean, in your waters i, immerse and flow

Wow, it’s so beautiful to find that love for an artist’s work can expand when invited into their life’s perspectives. The encouragement, kindness and permission to be where you are and also take a step is so powerful. Thank you both for the generosity. This podcast absolutely showed up at a perfect time for me and I am so grateful. ❤

Absolutely fantastic find. In new to the both of you. What a double blessing 🙌

Deep deep gratitud to have been graced with this experience of witnessing one of my favorite artists of all times. He doesn't make art, he is art. He doesn't write about vulnerability, he is gracefully vulnerable and so wise. I am full of love and gratitude today, thank you for this opportunity, my heart feels wider ❤ Art is the most powerful way to heal ourselves and be at service to the devine and ultimately the world ❤

Ryx i love you,your music is a gift for us. I am so blessed to see you in Paris last year 🙏

"Now that we have it. Can we reduce it to it's maximum?" Powerful!!!❤‍🔥

Beautiful soul.......aaaaagh....!.....feel his breath throughout..........Namaste.....

What a beautiful conversation. I think I fell in love. Ry talking about grief was so beautiful it moved me to tears in the park. Gorgeous. Thank you both x

Know that i heard him think and speak- His music is so much more healing. What a beautiful human! 🌌🌌🌌🌠🌌🌌🌌

Loved this whole interview! Thanks for sharing it with us.

I listened to this twice. Incredible, amazing, highly conscious and kind.

Wow! What an incredible interview. I had to grab a pen and take a bunch of notes. What a powerful metaphor of drowning in the deepest depths of the ocean, losing the colour spectrum, warmth, losing light itself, to gradually rise to the surface, emerge from the depths and in the process of coming up, the colour spectrum returns and you return into the warmth, the light.. I actually shared on this, inspired, at an AA meeting. "Once you've been to this place, it becomes a cornerstone to every breath you take" I love how he said, "now that we have it, can we reduce it to its maximum?" & "with complete discipline comes complete freedom" (or devotion essentially) Some key takeaways I took from this; As an artist, to capture the essence (of a feeling, a moment, an emotion, an experience) and alchemize & transmute it with mediums of expression Prowess that transcends genre. As an artist, at the center point of emotional & spiritual, you learn how to communicate that to the outside world. "Sing to spirit and be witnessed in that communion" "The best art carries the shadow with it at all times" Enter a portal of creativity "Die to the version of yourself you thought you were over & over again" - a great description on the topic of ego death. I love the suggestion of magnify those moments. Expand what is beautiful. The importance of breath, to move your body, be in nature, commit to something higher, and be around those of love. I also love the comment that André said, "somatically what it's like to be aware of your own mortality" about the death meditation & Even just the idea of a woman giving birth to 'Sweat'.. "& I can't take it..." I'm so thrilled to learn more of his spirituality! I could sense that when I listen to his music, but I had no idea! So glad I stumbled upon this interview. Amazing the way music transcends the continuum. You can feel the person's soul and connect without even knowing why..

Dude!!!! I loved that song.... Omg that song...thank you for sharing your gift with us

Totally, right - what a captivating voice, lyrics and musics. He is so inspirational

What a great interview :) I saw Ry X in Zurich this year and the way how he shares his music is absolutely stunning. It's great to see people loving what they do. It inspires me to do exactly the same

Such a beautiful conversation. So much ease and grace from both of you. I discovered and connected to his music through getting to know what he chose to share on this podcast, it resonated deeply. Thank you two.

Oceans ❤ I didn’t know this was you. Wow. One of my favorite songs I listen to to connect.

❤Such a Gift to wake up this Sunday morning and see this interview in my feed. I’m a huge RY fan. And a huge Andre fan ❤Thank You 🎶🌸🌿🦋🙏🌺

Thank you, André!

This interview confirms my how and why. I was waiting for the correct message of delivery with UTube. I just didn’t want to be like everyone else because of my diverse background and wanted to honor that as well. The freedom of artistic liberation yes 🙌🏾 and respect for the teachings 🎉 Now I am ready to express freely. Yes I also refine. ❤ So thankful your channel came to me

Needed to hear this message about grief. And joy. Exactly the place I’m at , at the moment. On the rise back up to the surface. Move you body, go to nature, stay in your heart.

Magical experience full on syncrohonisities. In the middle of it I picked up the guitar and played more devotionally than in a while and ended up with freestyling and opening up scar tissue that are always affecting my moments but never confronted. I had forgotten that art, singing and telling the truth in this medium is a way, if not the way, for me to knowing myself emotionally. I have been so focused on my spiritual practice, extremely dedicated to the divine and the beyond, almost completely ignoring my human side and even looking down upon it at times. Seeing you Ry, and seeing you in this light, feeling so familiar, and speaking your truth devotionally from a place which i know so well inside of myself, but communicating and holding yourself so maturely, was a transformative experience for me. I can't even begin to explain but tears just fell in realizing that it is grief I am feeling. And not tears of hopelessness, but of hopefullness. The anecdote of going to the bottom of the ocean, what it means in the experiential reality, the 3 things that matter before we go, and how you approach art, feels like its being communicated from inside of me. So intimate. So healing. Hopefully we will meet eye to eye the top of the ocean. Goosebumps top to toe.

I absolutely loved this podcast. The RAWNES, the heart shearings..Thank you both

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ fing up right. Let’s be kind to ourselves 💩 happens it sucks but that’s the reality of life. I need this so badly at this time 🌈

Amazing interview. I been listening to Ry's music for the past 2 years now (also saw him in Chicago last year). His & Krishna Das music have been such an important part of my Healing Journey Home. Grateful... Danke 🤗 💓

Wow ! That was a beautiful interview. Truly inspirational. Grateful for the purity and wisdom that was shared . I never heard RY X music until today and I literally cried ! I appreciate the guidance led thru the profound work your creativity expresses. The part were he led us on a journey drowning in the sea with depression was so moving , I was right there with you . I have felt that sadness and lost before. But knowing I am here to really SEE others thru the same thing is a grift ☀️ Thank you !

I knew the songs, not the artist. Beautiful and deep conversation. Love it ❤

Wow 🏞✨🦋 thank you for introducing this beautiul Human into my life 🙏🏼✨💙

What a gift... I never knew about this artist ... this was an introduction to him ... every minute of listening was so nourishing! Coming from the underworld of the Deep Ocean and Muddy Waters. My undressing of the Voice. Discipline and Devotion! Beautiful. Thank you, BOTH.

I heard somewhere that all spiritual practices is letting go. It's about surrender. 💚

42:12 That was such a beautiful analogy. Really resonate coming from that place and having the gratitude for this life🙏🏼 Listening and being in witness of Ryx creation, playing music has been magical. Thank you for this beautiful podcast, deeply inspiring and heartfelt 🤍

If I could only tell how deeply touching and important this interview is for me right now. Since Berlin I am in tears now and have I been following RY X artistic path... your music is weaved into my life path and i am thankful for every single note and word 🙏✨ The deepness and compassion in this conversation hit home in me for many different reasons. Thank you both so much for this open and loving and supportive and awakening talk. It is very much appreciated. May you always be blessed on your paths ☀

This interview was amazing. Thank you so much! I sent Ry a message of gratitude. I hope it finds him! Thank you André for creating this platform to share inspiring journeys!

Beautiful interview! Thank you!❤ Please come to the Narrows in Fall River, Massachusetts. It’s a great venue. It’s probably too small for you at this point- it holds a little over 400, but the setting is intimate. One can dream…..

Thank You for this beautiful connection and sharing it with us, I relate so much with all you shared with water and its my joyful place so thank you and the music is special, what a great show

RY X - thank you, I've been navigating thru a very deep healing for the last few months and your music has been a blessing and a beautiful universal key to help me unlock years of locked up grief... I've lost count of the times Ive watched your live shows on KZread and each time I realise and cry and smile and feel and breathe more and more.. you've played an integral part of helping me heal.. and now I stumble across this interview at the perfect timing that I needed to. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and understanding and your exquisite talents and gifts with the world... I am so thankful 🙏

In all sights of the world, we are living in, you as an VOCALIST, INSTRUMENTALIST and BEING of VOICE, you have to share your ideas, visions and dreams, to give others the same what you have! GOLDEN RULE. When there is one small piece, which are not living in FREEDOM, then the whole world shatters. Some pain, which came through Doctors in nationalist crime time, can't be heald back, I know it by myself! I love your music and also parts, where you are in yourself, but I also here a lot of missing inside of your voice!

Blown away. Thanks guys x

THIS! MAN! Ouufffff! what he does to open the surrender of the feminine! eternally thankful for his medicine

This is one of the most heart opening and grounding podcast I've ever felt. Thank you, Andre & Ry X. 🤍🌿✨

Blown away. A balanced beautiful artist. What a gift.

thank you Andre for every single room you are opening to dive as deep as possible to awaken all the inner memories! Every single room your opening, is pure healing for me and another step of opening up. Especially when i feel stuck in my darkest places, the space you create gives me comfort and strength to remember and believe in my inner trust again. Your podcast is my new Netflix ;) except that it is much more nourishing :D. So thank you from my heart to yours and every inspiring person you talk to.

Such an amazing and beautiful man… his music reaches the depths of my soul and it’s so peaceful. Thank you RY X and may God bless you always! ❤

This is truly one of the most deeply touching and meaningful interviews I have experienced in a long time. It touched me profoundly and I am grateful and bless you both. 🌹🦋💕
