Burning Man Integration 25-Min - RISE Breathwork with Joep Mencke 006

Description

Welcome to this new RISE Breathwork journey — a 25-minute practice created to help you ground, reset, and integrate after Burning Man. The playa has a way of expanding us, cracking us open, and showing us new layers of ourselves. This session is designed to help you anchor those lessons, release what no longer serves, and carry the essence of your Burn back into daily life. Your guide: Joep Mencke — breathwork facilitator, DJ, and music producer — has led sessions across the globe for the past three years. His mission is to make transformation accessible and to support integration beyond peak experiences. In this practice, you’ll move through cycles of conscious connected breathing (activation) and retentions (relaxation) — all supported by an original soundtrack composed by Joep. The music blends grounding textures, expansive harmonies, and immersive soundscapes, guiding you into presence and deeper connection. What to expect in this session: • 25-minute guided breathwork journey • Four cycles designed for grounding and integration after Burning Man (Joy, Lessons, Letting Go, and Connection) • Original music and soundscapes by Joep Mencke • Focussed on reflection and integration • Accessible to all levels — no prior experience required Wearing headphones is a must — they help you stay in your own bubble and fully immerse without distractions from your environment. Can be done sitting or lying down in a comfortable, undisturbed space. ⸻ Breathwork Instructions This is a connected breath practice — no pause between inhale and exhale. • Inhale: Belly & chest expand • Exhale: Belly & chest fall • Breathing in: Mouth (more powerful) or nose (gentler) • Breathing out: Mouth • Each cycle includes dynamic breathing followed by two retentions (~45 sec after exhale, then ~45 sec after inhale). • You may feel tingling, changes in temperature, or mild muscle tension — these are normal effects of breathwork. • If overwhelmed, return to gentle breathing in and out through the nose (focus on prolonging your exhale). • Always listen to your body and never force anything. ⸻ ⚠ Important Contraindications If you have a history of psychosis or epileptic seizures, this practice is not for you. If you are currently pregnant, please listen closely to your body. Only participate if it feels right for you — and do not perform or hold any of the breath retentions. If in doubt, consult your physician. ⸻ More from RISE Breathwork: Instagram: www.instagram.com/rise.breathwork Spotify Podcast: open.spotify.com/show/09pRZT8GOS4…95654401e06249f3 SoundCloud Sessions: soundcloud.com/joep-mencke/sets/rise-breathwork-sessions More from Joep Mencke: Instagram: www.instagram.com/joepmencke Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0GapyFJVU…PbSmexic3bvDIVDA ⸻ ✨ Sign up for my pay-as-you-can Online Sessions every Wednesday 19:00 CET: calendly.com/joepmencke/joep-me…-x-rise-breathwork ⸻ Rise to your full potential 🙏🤍
