Try our candid dialog with Maejor about Psychedelic Frequency beneath:
BOSSIP: Your earlier Audible podcast Maejor Frequency explored the therapeutic energy of sound by science and spirituality, what sparked your curiosity within the topic?
Maejor: “I obtained launched into sound therapeutic first by the religious group. I believed it was a little bit bit woo woo, however I favored the way it felt. Then, going by my expertise as a most cancers survivor, lots of people began sending me all of those other ways of therapeutic and all these completely different concepts and the issues that resonated with me have been associated to sound as a result of I used to be already producing and dealing a lot with sounds and EQ and frequency and already doing it on a regular basis so as soon as I began studying concerning the therapeutic energy of it, it actually simply gave me a perspective that there was a chance to bridge two worlds, the mainstream music world that I’m producing in, and this new world of wellness and therapeutic. In order that that’s the place it began.”
BOSSIP: This podcast is admittedly fascinating, I simply listened to the episode about holotropic breathwork and was blown away
Maejor: You realize it stunned me with the breathwork particularly, as a result of I’ve additionally had some psychedelic experiences, and it stunned me with the breathwork how intense the expertise was, with out truly taking any bodily substance. It’s simply by inhaling that method, for that lengthy of a time your physique begins performing some loopy issues. That’s what the entire present is admittedly about — the exploration of easy methods to use these items in an intentional method that may truly assist your life.
I really feel like that dialog is shifting extra into the mainstream. On a regular basis individuals are extra open to those concepts and ideas, and even microdosing and meditation and breathwork. All of those several types of modalities are coming into the general public, so I believe it’s a good time… One of many issues we goal with the present is it simply actually give folks a technique to do it with intention so no matter you’re attempting to get out of it, you’ll be able to actually get from it, versus simply rolling the cube.
BOSSIP: Together with holotropic respiratory, whereas I used to be listening to this podcast I discovered of numerous different substances I wasn’t beforehand conscious of. Did you turn into extra experimental after taking up this undertaking?
Maejor: First I need to say that every one the individuals who did substances throughout the present have been with therapists and in a really scientific managed setting and so they went in with a measured dosage.
They’re simply not out right here tripping
Maejor: Yeah as a result of that may be harmful. I don’t need any individual to enter one thing that’s harmful, however what we needed to do is discover, as a result of there are lots of people who’ve reported large advantages from some of these issues, so we needed to discover what was happening, how is it and many others… So we discovered therapists who’re already working on this house. In some methods my thoughts has been opened additional. This present undoubtedly did open my thoughts. Even the holotropic respiratory. I had by no means that earlier than after which we did a 2 1/2 hour session straight. That’s actually actually a unique sort of factor that the place you’re doing this breathwork for two 1/2 hours straight. You do 2 periods, one within the morning, one at night time. You’ve your therapist, accomplice, or whoever is there with you, watch you when you breathe and ensure the whole lot’s nice, as a result of you’ll be able to go into some fairly loopy states. They arrange pillows round you so it’s fairly intense.
With the therapist, one of many issues they speak about is integration and we’ll unpack, actually replicate and provides it time to meditate on the expertise. You don’t simply go proper again into the world. You realize get a while and begin to course of that in no matter method that takes for you, it might rely in your information or your therapist or whoever is main you thru that have.

Within the introduction to Psychedelic Frequency you speak about eager to heal the world, how do you’re feeling psychedelics may probably heal the lots?
Maejor: The way in which that I take a look at it’s, I name it the journey inward or the journey inside. We can not, every particular person themselves, can not heal and can’t change any something or anybody exterior, but when we modify ourselves, we go inside… Even one thing like so simple as conflicts. Two folks in a battle, nobody’s going to alter from somebody saying, ‘You’re improper about this! What you probably did was improper! What you’re doing is improper!’ Yelling at them or hurting them, doing one thing to them, that’s not going to alter them. The one method somebody truly modifications is thru their consciousness being raised and them coming into their very own perspective that, ‘Hey what I’m doing is improper.’ If you get to that time then you can begin to actually make some change, begin to actually do one thing. So the way in which psychedelics work is it really works with internal sight and internal change, in order that causes a ripple impact to the folks round you, the world you created round you, the way in which that you simply deal with folks, as a result of what you actually begin to be taught is that as we go deeper in, you begin to see how linked all of us are and the way alike all of us are. It’s simply rising compassion in a unique sort of method, the place the opposite issues simply fall away naturally on account of you realizing it’s truly a waste of time.
