Try our candid dialog with Maejor about Psychedelic Frequency beneath:
BOSSIP: Your earlier Audible podcast Main Frequency explored the therapeutic energy of sound via science and spirituality, what sparked your curiosity within the topic?
Maejor: “I obtained launched into sound therapeutic first via the religious neighborhood. I believed it was a bit bit woo woo, however I favored the way it felt. Then, going via 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 had 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 possibility 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 absolutely fascinating, I simply listened to the episode about holotropic breathwork and was blown away
Maejor: it shocked me with the breathwork particularly, as a result of I’ve additionally had some psychedelic experiences, and it shocked me with the breathwork how intense the expertise was, with out really taking any bodily substance. It’s simply by inhaling that means, for that lengthy of a time your physique begins doing a little loopy issues. That’s what the entire present is absolutely about — the exploration of methods to use this stuff in an intentional means that may really assist your life.
I really feel like that dialog is shifting extra into the mainstream. On a regular basis persons are extra open to those concepts and ideas, and even microdosing and meditation and breathwork. All of those various kinds of modalities are coming into the general public, so I feel it’s a good time… One of many issues we goal with the present is it simply actually give folks a option to do it with intention so no matter you’re making an attempt to get out of it, you may actually get from it, versus simply rolling the cube.
BOSSIP: Together with holotropic respiration, whereas I used to be listening to this podcast I discovered of lots of different substances I wasn’t beforehand conscious of. Did you develop into extra experimental after taking over this venture?
Maejor: First I wish to say that every one the individuals who did substances inside the present had been with therapists and in a really medical 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 person 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 big advantages from a majority of these issues, so we needed to discover what was occurring, 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 positively did open my thoughts. Even the holotropic respiration. I had by no means that earlier than after which we did a 2 1/2 hour session straight. That’s actually actually a special form 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 evening. You may have your therapist, associate, or whoever is there with you, watch you when you breathe and ensure all the things’s fantastic, as a result of you may 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. get a while and begin to course of that in no matter means that takes for you, it will possibly rely in your information or your therapist or whoever is main you thru that have.

Within the introduction to Psychedelic Frequency you speak about desirous to heal the world, how do you’re feeling psychedelics might doubtlessly heal the lots?
Maejor: The best way that I have 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 vary from somebody saying, ‘You’re flawed about this! What you probably did was flawed! What you’re doing is flawed!’ Yelling at them or hurting them, doing one thing to them, that’s not going to vary them. The one means somebody really modifications is thru their consciousness being raised and them coming into their very own perspective that, ‘Hey what I’m doing is flawed.’ Once you get to that time then you can begin to essentially make some change, begin to actually do one thing. So the way in which psychedelics work is it really works with interior sight and interior 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 special form of means, the place the opposite issues simply fall away naturally because of you realizing it’s really a waste of time.
