Breath is the Key to Unlocking Internal Power
Do you feel like you’re operating below your true capabilities? Are you seeking deeper purpose and meaning in life beyond material success? You’re not alone. Nate Zeleznik, renowned spiritual teacher and founder of the Integrated Ascension Method, is on a mission to help people unlock their dormant superhuman potential.
Nate has mastered ancient energetic arts and mindfulness practices that science is only now validating. Combining these time-tested techniques with modern biohacking technology, Nate created a holistic system to unleash your highest human capacities.
In this blog, we’ll share key insights from Nate’s fascinating interview on the Blind Spots podcast with Birgit Kamps. Let his wisdom guide you towards extraordinary transformation.
Integrating Ancient Wisdom and Modern Technology
Daily stresses and disconnected living distract us from our deeper nature. We operate on autopilot, oblivious to the wellspring of vitality and inner wisdom within. Ancient traditions understood how to access these reserves. As Nate explains:
“We breathe unconsciously approximately 29,000 times per day. Yet studies show 95% of people use just 15% of their lung capacity, which correlates directly with longevity.”
Full conscious breathing unlocks energy by maximizing oxygenation. Equally powerful is meditation:
“Our sleeping minds can be over twice as active as our waking minds…Meditation gives your brain a chance to pause and recharge.”
Modern science confirms what ancients knew – these simple practices offer profound benefits. But few master the ability to tap their full potential.
After extensive training in Indonesian martial and energy arts, Nate created Integrated Ascension Method (IAM) to make these potent modalities available through modern formats like online courses.
IAM synergizes ancient practices like breathwork and meditation with current biohacking and technology. The goal is comprehensive human optimization and actualization. Modalities include:
Merpati Putih Breathwork
Merpati Putih Breathwork is a powerful practice originating from the ancient royal martial arts tradition of Central Java, Indonesia. “Merpati Putih” translates to “White Dove” in English.
The techniques use unique body postures, sequencing and conscious control of inhalation, retention, and exhalation to harness and cultivate inner energy or biomagnetism.
Specific breath holds and vigorous breathing through various techniques increase oxygenation and energy flow throughout the body. They stimulate the vagus nerve which controls key functions like heart rate and blood pressure.
The controlled breathing is combined with visualization, intention-setting, and meditation to enter heightened states of awareness.
Unlike most yoga and other breathwork, Merpati Putih techniques build powerful energetic reserves rapidly, with dramatic effects felt soon after practice.
These ancient royal breathwork practices remained closely guarded for centuries before being openly shared. Now offered through IAM, they provide a fast-track to actualizing your human potential.
Meditation
The meditation techniques used in Integrated Ascension Method’s trainings are carefully selected and curated over years of research into spiritual traditions from around the world. IAM’s immersive meditation training helps participants tap into their deepest wisdom, activate their intuition and latent abilities, and return to a more awakened, inspired, and purposeful state of being.
Energy Healing
IAM incorporates energy healing techniques derived from the ancient spiritual traditions of Java, Indonesia, where energy manipulation was refined over centuries. Students learn hands-on energy work to clear blockages, restore flow, and repair the biofield, as well as distance healing methods to benefit others from afar. These energy therapies provide powerful holistic healing on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels, complementing the other modalities in IAM’s system.
Technology
Integrated Ascension Method utilizes advanced technology like neurofeedback wearables, vibroacoustic therapy, pyramid and torus tachyon tools, and AI analytics to complement its ancient-to-modern training system. IAM members receive discounts on the latest devices to track progress, get custom insights, and enhance their development through data-driven feedback. The synergistic blend of ancient wisdom with modern technology provides an accelerated self-optimization experience that sets IAM apart.
Nutrition
Proper nutrition is an integral part of Integrated Ascension Method’s training programs, with organic, plant-based whole foods from partners like Aryaa Organics and the eating plan of Nutritional Fitness. Clean eating lays the foundation, while targeted nutrition optimizes the results from breathing, meditation, biohacking and energy work.
The combination of ancient wisdom and modern technologies creates an integrative system to unlock your greatest human capacities rapidly and effectively.
Lead with Empathy and Emotional Intelligence
Technical expertise alone does not make an effective leader, Nate cautions. We must also develop empathy and emotional intelligence.
Early in his martial arts schools, hierarchy and formality prevented students from expressing concerns. This caused simmering issues. Through feedback and personal growth, Nate evolved into a more emotionally intelligent leader.
He actively listens, draws out team members through questioning, and reassures them their jobs are secure. This improved morale, performance, and fulfillment. As Nate explains:
“It’s about creating better results and increasing the happiness quotient (HQ) and emotional quotient (EQ).”
This ethos of mutual understanding is essential for positive outcomes.
Navigating Crises with Equanimity
Every leader faces crises. Nate’s advice is to build resilience through spiritual practices, consciously manage stress, and delegate appropriately.
Initially, Nate tended to take on all responsibilities solo. But he learned to empower staff and saw how this created better results. Allowing team members to fail, then course-correcting, enabled their growth. With the right mindset, we can meet challenges with less struggle.
Actualize Your Potential
Nate’s teachings offer more than professional development. They facilitate profound personal growth:
- Ancient practices induce deep relaxation, energy, and inner peace.
- Holistic modalities enhance physical health, mental acuity, and spiritual alignment.
- Consciousness expansion uncovers your innate wisdom and talents.
- You gain the stability and wisdom to navigate life’s changes skillfully.

For seekers serious about self-actualization, Nate advises:
- Make consciousness practices a daily routine.
- Commit fully when you find an authentic teaching.
- Value supportive communities.
- Keep growing; there is no limit.
- Trust your intuitive inner compass.
- Ease and joy signify alignment with your essence.
- Your thoughts and feelings create your reality.
