RISE Breathwork is a space to go within and reconnect with yourself through the power of music and breath. As an electronic music producer and touring DJ, this is Joep Mencke’s way of bridging music with healing and transformation. Whether you need to release stress, recharge your energy, or deepen your inner connection, these sessions are here to help you shift your state of being. At the heart of RISE—and in all I create through music, retreats, and beyond—lies one purpose: to facilitate transformational experiences that help you rise to your full potential.

    Nervous System Regulation 7min - 4-4-8 Guided Breathwork - RISE RESTORE with Joep Mencke

    Most people are stuck on the gas pedal. In a world that is chronically stressed, the nervous system always stays on. That overly stimulated baseline affects everything else: emotions, resilience, cognition, how you experience your day.This is the first RESTORE sessions. A new series focused on relaxing the system and pressing the brake pedal. The intentional off button. Parasympathetic activation. Rest and digest.We start simple. Four seconds in. Four seconds hold. Eight seconds out.The long exhale is where the magic happens. The exhale is linked to the parasympathetic nervous system. An exhale longer than the inhale is one of the fastest physiological cues for activating your rest-and-digest state. You're regulating your system because you're sending a specific signal your body is wired to respond to. Set to my track Abar, which means gratitude in Hindi, it's a great way to close your day.Find a quiet 7 minutes. Make sure you're sitting or laying down comfortably and that you won't be disturbed. Headphones on. And enjoy the journey.⸻More from RISE Breathwork:Instagram: www.instagram.com/rise.breathworkSpotify Podcast: open.spotify.com/show/09pRZT8GOS4…95654401e06249f3SoundCloud Sessions: soundcloud.com/joep-mencke/sets/rise-breathwork-sessionsMore from Joep Mencke:Instagram: www.instagram.com/joepmenckeSpotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0GapyFJVU…PbSmexic3bvDIVDA⸻✨ Sign up for my Online Sessions every Wednesday 19:00 CET:calendly.com/joepmencke/joep-me…-x-rise-breathwork⸻⭕️ Ready to deepen your practice?

    Morning Practice 12min - RISE Breathwork with Joep Mencke #12

    This 12-minute morning practice session is there to set the tone of your day. This is a moment where you can connect to yourself before the world gets hold of you. Our internal state of being creates our external reality; if you want things to change in your life, you start by changing your internal state. Through the law of attraction, we attract what we radiate—so how would you like your day to be? What would you like to invite in? Set your intention, and let’s shift your energy. It is generally not that we don’t know what we want; it is that our mind holds on to the familiar. This is why fears and limiting beliefs arise when we face change. The power of this practice comes from the synergy between music and breath to get you out of the duality of your mind. By bringing you into the present moment, you get the opportunity to create from a blank slate instead of an old pattern. This morning practice consists of two cycles with two retentions and is supported by my track, Ciya. This track always gives me a very energetic and joyful feeling—a feeling of celebration and dance. It is the perfect way to start your day. What to expect* 12-minute guided breathwork journey* Two breathing cycles with activation and retention* Soundscape: Ciya.* A practice to shift to help you center yourself and set the tone of your day* Suitable for all levels — no prior experience needed. ⸻ 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.

    This RISE Breathwork journey is a 13-minute guided session designed to bring you out of the mind and back into the body. When life speeds up, we tend to get stuck in our mind.

    25-Min Guided Breathwork: Gratitude and Reflection – RISE Breathwork with Joep Mencke

    Welcome to the second RISE Breathwork session. Each episode is dedicated to helping you reconnect with yourself through the power of music and breathing techniques. Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, boost your energy, or cultivate a deeper connection to yourself. We are here to help you rise to your full potential.  Joep Mencke will guide you through this second session in which the central theme is gratitude. Having facilitated many breathwork sessions across the globe for last three years, he will guide you through an immersive 25-minute breathwork experience. This carefully crafted practice combines Joep Mencke's original soundscapes (all music is composed by him) with guided breathing techniques, offering a unique opportunity for deep relaxation and self-discovery. Expect a harmonious blend of soothing melodies, warm soundscapes, and gentle beats to accompany you on this journey.  No prior Breathwork experience required for this session. ================================================ Breathwork Instructions This practice is a connected breath, so there is no pause between the in- and exhale and the ex- and inhale. The breathing happens in a continuous motion.Make sure that when you inhale your belly and chest expands (as air flows into your body) and when you exhale your belly and chest fall (as air is flowing out of your body). If you feel like you want to move your body while breathing then we encourage you to move your body. You can breathe in both through your mouth or nose and you breathe out through the mouth. Breathing in through the mouth is generally more powerful and therefor also creates a deeper experience. If you’re looking for a more gentle experience we advice you to breathe through your nose. Each session consists on average of three or four cycles. Each cycle consists of a dynamic part, in which you’re in- and exhaling, and a retention part, in which you’re holding your breath. Each retention part starts with holding your breath after an exhale for around 45 seconds, and then you inhale fully and hold your breath again for another 45 sec. After each dynamic breathing part you will be surprised how long you can hold your breath in the retention part. You’re body is fully oxygenated but we are wired to start breathing again. We encourage you to explore your boundaries, but please do so in a gentle way. Always listen to your body and never force anything. These are just guidelines. Every body is different. During this practice you might experience bodily sensations like tingly feelings, muscle tensions, and changes in body temperature. Know that this is happening because these breathing techniques are impacting the physiology of your body and so these sensations are completely normal. In case you’re sensitive to the cold make sure you have a blanket close by. If the experience is overwhelming at any point, return your breathing to normal (in and out through the nose). You are in control. This practice can be done both sitting or laying down. Make sure you’re in a comfortable position as each practice generally takes 20-25 minutes. Make sure you won’t be disturbed during your practice. Listen with headphones for the best experience ================================================ IMPORTANT CONTRAINDICATIONS If you have a history of epileptic seizures, cardiovascular disease, or you’re pregnant, this practice is not for you.  In case of any doubt wether this is safe for you, contact your physician  ================================================ Enjoy 🙏

About

RISE Breathwork is a space to go within and reconnect with yourself through the power of music and breath. As an electronic music producer and touring DJ, this is Joep Mencke’s way of bridging music with healing and transformation. Whether you need to release stress, recharge your energy, or deepen your inner connection, these sessions are here to help you shift your state of being. At the heart of RISE—and in all I create through music, retreats, and beyond—lies one purpose: to facilitate transformational experiences that help you rise to your full potential.
