Just Breathe. Mastery Newsletter June 30, 2025

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

Did you know that the quality of your breathing determines the quality of your life?

 

We all breathe. Turns out there is more to breathing. A lot more.

 

“Just Breathe: Mastering Breathwork for Success in Life, Love, Business, and Beyond” is the title of a book by Dan Brule.

 

A quick search reveals this:

 

“Dan Brule is recognized as the world’s foremost expert and renowned pioneer in the field of breathwork, leading the worldwide Spiritual Breathing movement.

 

 Brule served in the United States Navy as a medical deep-sea diver during the Vietnam era and completed his master’s degree in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

 

His book, which is hailed by Tony Robbins as the “definitive breathwork handbook,” provides tools to harness breath for reducing stress, increasing productivity, balancing health, and finding spiritual awakening.”

 

  1. I am a Tony Robbins fan. His books, courses and videos have done a lot for me. So, I am paying attention now.

 

Some gems from the book:

 

“…how often, how fast, and how much you inflate your lungs directly affects your brain and how it operates.’

 

Conscious breathing can help deal with post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and many other conditions.

 

Just five minutes of slow paced breathing can support the heart and improve stress resilience.

 

“…by far the quickest and most effective way to guarantee heart coherence is through Conscious Breathing. Heart coherence is at its maximum when a resonant frequency of four and a half respiratory cycles per minute is attained.”

 

“Heart coherence refers to the continuous fluctuations in the heart rate…it is associated with…a feeling of inner balance and centeredness — alert yet relaxed, energized yet calm.”

 

“Studies show measurable benefits with just five minutes of paced breathing at a rate of six breaths per minute, three times per day. You can reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels (that’s the stress hormone) by up to 20%!”

 

“There is a catch: your breathing practice is only effective when it becomes a daily ritual, like showering or brushing your teeth.”

 

“BREATHE NOW: HEART RATE VARIABILITY PRACTICE

Three time per day

Six breaths per minute

Five minutes duration

 

Knocking stress on the head.

 

Fifteen minutes a day.

 

I like easy things. This seems right up my alley.

 

What about you?

WANT TO RAISE YOUR FREQUENCY? START BY PULLING YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ARSE Mastery Newsletter June 6, 2025

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

Awesome, laugh out loud funny, close to the bone, complete health system, all right here right now, free, waiting for us to dive in and GO FOR IT…

 

Guest article by Zen Prem

 

Everyone wants to “raise their frequency” these days, like it’s a fucking Spotify playlist you can just vibe your way into.

 

Slap on a crystal, say “I release what no longer serves me,” and boom, you’re suddenly vibrating like a tantric dolphin on ayahuasca.

 

But here’s the thing no one posts on Facebook or Instagram: Raising your frequency isn’t pretty.

 

It’s not all white linen and cacao ceremonies.

 

It’s sobbing on your bathroom floor at 3am with a nervous system that’s fried and a mind that won’t shut the fuck up.

 

You want to go higher?…

 

Cool.

 

You’ve gotta go deeper first.

 

Right into the grime, the grief, and the total fucking honesty you’ve been avoiding since you were twelve.

 

So, following on from my previous post ‘WHAT IF YOUR LIFE LOOKS GOOD… BUT FEELS DEAD INSIDE?’

 

Here’s some practical tips you may find helpful…

 

  1. Conscious Breathwork

 

Do you want to feel like a God or just hyperventilate like a Victorian child having a fainting spell?

 

Because breathwork is both.

 

Eleven minutes a day of deep, conscious breathing can get you high, humbled, and halfway to a mystical experience, assuming you don’t tap out before minute five wondering if you left the fucking stove on.

 

It’s free. It’s primal. It’s available right now.

 

Or of course, if you’d rather pay $90 for some Peruvian dude on YouTube to “activate our DNA” with breath patterns you could’ve Googled.

 

Just. Fucking. Breathe.

 

  1. Meditation

 

Yes, sit your arse down, cross your legs (or don’t), and try not to fantasise about lunch.

 

Throw in some 432Hz binaural beats if you need a soundtrack.

 

But the fastest way to raise your frequency through meditation is not to try to raise your frequency.

 

Just sit there.

 

Let your mind be the chaotic disco it is.

 

Eventually, something quiet shows up. That’s you.

 

Not your grocery list. Not your future TED Talk. You.

 

  1. Fasting (Optional Sadomasochism)

 

If you want to feel closer to meeting God, skip breakfast.

By hour 16 you’ll be so empty and lightheaded, you’ll either meet the Divine or headbutt the fucking fridge crying.

 

But let’s not get righteous here.

 

Fasting isn’t magic, it’s clarity bought through temporary self-deprivation.

 

Seriously, skip the smugness. Just try it.

 

If you get hangry and scream at the cat, maybe don’t do it on workdays.

 

  1. Heart Coherence

 

This sounds like a TEDx wet dream, but it works.

 

Close your eyes. Think about something you love. Really love. Your dog. Your kid. That time he looked at you like you mattered.

 

Then breathe into that space like your life depends on it, because maybe it does.

 

The heart isn’t just a pump. It’s a tuning fork for your humanity.

 

You want a higher frequency? … Feel everything, then let it melt in your chest.

 

  1. Ecstatic Movement

 

You haven’t lived until you’ve ugly-danced in your kitchen at 6am with a face like a deranged prophet.

 

Move your body like it owes you nothing and you’ll find your trauma hiding in your hips.

 

Yes, it’s cringey at first. Yes, you’ll look like a goat on acid being tasered. Do it anyway.

 

You’ll come out lighter, looser, alive.

 

Shake the shit out of your cells.

 

  1. Face Your Shadows

 

This one isn’t sexy.

 

It’s you, a notebook, and the part of you that never healed from age six.

 

It’s journaling the stuff you don’t want your therapist to read.

 

It’s calling yourself out on the lies you tell in relationships, in arguments, in silence.

 

This is frequency work for grown-ups.

 

Do it with a pen, or do it with your life on repeat. Your choice.

 

  1. Connect with Nature

 

Go barefoot. Touch a tree.

 

Yes, it feels weird at first, especially if you’re ‘cultured’ and trained to avoid public displays of dirtiness …

 

But five minutes with your feet on the ground will do more for your nervous system than another mindfulness app asking you to breathe like a sea turtle.

 

Nature doesn’t care how spiritual you are. It already vibrates high.

 

Go plug yourself in.

 

  1. Speak Your Truth

 

Warning: speaking your truth may result in endings.

 

But nothing tanks your frequency like being liked for someone you’re not.

 

Say the thing. Ask the awkward question. Admit what you really want.

 

Authenticity is terrifying.

 

It’s also liberation.

 

  1. Treat Everything as Sacred

 

You don’t need to move to Bali to be spiritual.

 

Try washing your mug like it’s holy.

 

Take a shit with reverence.

 

Light a candle and mean it.

 

Sacredness isn’t ceremony, it’s attention.

 

Start there. Enlightenment optional.

 

  1. Listen to Your Soul

 

It’s quiet.

 

Which is why you keep missing it.

 

It’s not in your scroll.

 

It’s not in your ten-step plan.

 

It’s in the stillness between your distractions.

 

Stop. Listen. Breathe.

 

There it is.

 

  1. ECSTATIC EXPRESSION (a.k.a. Scream Therapy for the Spiritually Constipated)

 

Sometimes the fastest way to raise your frequency is to fucking lose it, consciously.

 

Scream into a pillow.

 

Roar into the void.

 

Howl like a fucking banshee who just found out Mercury is in retrograde again.

 

It’s not drama.

 

It’s detox.

 

You’ve got 30 years of swallowed pain living in your throat chakra like unpaid rent – tell it to fuck off.

 

Cry. Wail. Break plates (safely).

 

Do whatever it takes to stop being a well-behaved zombie waiting for enlightenment.

 

Your voice is a weapon.

 

Use it to reclaim your goddamn life.

 

12.LAUGH LIKE A FUCKING LUNATIC

 

No, really – fucking laugh.

 

Not the polite chuckle you use to survive awkward dinner parties.

 

I mean snort-laugh, ugly-laugh, tears-down-your-face-until-you-can’t-breathe kind of laugh.

 

Because if your healing doesn’t include laughter, it’s just another fucking trauma ceremony in beige yoga pants.

 

Laughter is frequency alchemy.

 

It’s your nervous system saying, “Okay, I can breathe again.”

 

It unhooks the shame. It softens the rage.

 

It reminds you that even in the middle of your messy awakening,

 

you’re still hilariously, gloriously, stupidly human.

 

Watch a dumb video. Laugh at yourself.

 

Giggle mid-breakdown.

 

Make peace with the absurdity of it all.

 

Because if you can laugh and cry in the same hour, you’re not just raising your frequency… you’re fucking surfing it

 

FINAL WORD

 

Raising your frequency isn’t a vibe.

 

It’s a reckoning.

 

It’s burning the illusion that healing is cute.

 

It’s choosing presence over performance.

 

Truth over trends.

 

Love over likability.

 

So if you want to raise your frequency?

 

Stop faking peace.

 

Start embodying truth.

 

Then dance like you’ve been possessed by a funk demon, journal like your soul’s about to explode, and scream until your ancestors applaud from the astral plane.

 

High fucking vibes , baby!
