We Are

Of One Breath

Before you enter your email on this page, and become part of a world-wide JOJI Experiment, we’d like you to understand a bit more about the JOJI-One project. First off, it is not an “app” per se. Yes, it functions like an app, but it is more accurate to regard it as a “tool.” In the words of Buckminster Fuller, “You can’t change the way people think, all you can do is give them a tool, the use of which will change their thinking.” JOJI-One is just such a tool! Our aim is to create JOJI (Joy of Joining In) Moments across the globe that remind us that we are of one breath, of one heart, of one world. Over time, those joyful moments add up to a movement of peace and harmony for all.

Embracing a New Story
We are moving from an old story of fear and scarcity to the New Story of love and abundance. In short, we are birthing a new way of being human. Many refer to this as the advent of homo-luminous; the next step in our evolution as a species. No longer consumptive, but generative. No longer competitive, but cooperative. No longer just surviving but thriving.

There’s change in the air. You can feel it, right?

Addressing Global Problems
Before we can truly thrive as a species, we have life-sized, global problems to solve. And we can’t do that if we are dysregulated and in a constant state of fight or flight. We have deep appreciation for the work of Gabor Mate and The Wisdom of Trauma movement that is unpacking the link between individual/generational trauma and the state of the world. It’s making us unwell, unhappy, and unable to peacefully co-exist. The extreme political/religious polarization we are witnessing is a symptom of a much deeper, trauma wound of separation that must be met with love and compassion for all.

Historical Perspective
We’ve been here before. Historians, such as Amjad Farooq with his Oqual Cycle,  recount periods of great unrest leading to huge shifts of consciousness. But because we regard change with fear and trepidation, we suffer needlessly in the process. According to the wisdom of Dr. Hawkins Map of Consciousness, we are well past the point of no return on the path from fear to love. There’s no going back, we are here to write a new story, a Love Story of humanity falling in love with life; finally finding its divine potential as beings of love and light.
Transformational Tension
It seems impossible, right? Our current state of polarization seems insurmountable and yet, it is the exact right combination of collective aggravation and desperation that opens the door to new beginnings. As insane as the world may seem in this moment, we are actually “going sane,” in the words of Julia Cameron. With any metamorphic/birthing process there is transformational tension. Meeting that tension with grace and gratitude (and a breath of loving intention) is the heart and soul of the JOJI-One project.

Mastering our State of Being
The first step in this journey of collective soul is to first master our individual state of being. In his book, Man’s Search for Meaning, Victor Frankl put it best, “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” Simply put, the difference between living in a “reactive” world vs. a “consciously responsive” world is the difference between living in hell or creating heaven on earth. We are the authors of our own misery and, conversely, the architects of “the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible,” in the words of Charles Eisenstein. We are capable of so much more. If we get distracted by the chaos, we can get spun out, but if we can maintain a heart-centered focus, we can ride the waves of change with grace.

That all sounds great, but where do we start? How do we come together?

As a keen observer of the human condition, words are failing us. We have entered the time when “truth has become lies and lies have become truth.” The resulting war of words only serves to exacerbate the divide. The way forward is wordless, it is somatic, it is in the stillness of our own hearts that new possibilities will gentle our pessimism and cynicism.

The Power of Breathing Together

Here’s an incredibly simple idea . . . What if we begin with something as simple as breathing together? We are already doing it. What if we engaged with our breath as a tool of consciousness?

There isn’t a human alive who doesn’t recognize the wisdom of slowing down to take a conscious breath before responding to any situation. It is the fastest and surest way to ease our nervous system when we are triggered by something or someone. And as it turns out when we master the art of self-regulation, we have an immediate effect on everyone around us. This has been proven scientifically through the work done by the Heart Math Institute and others. This is win-win for all of humanity if done on a global scale. As long as we have the opportunity to breathe, there’s hope for humanity . . .

Collective Self-Awareness
All the Wisdom Keepers/Teachers have been pointing us toward this moment of collective self-awareness . . . A collective choice-point, a fork-in-the-road moment, where we choose the Love Story over the old story of fear and scarcity; choice being the operative word. Individually, many have met this choice-point and done the work to release their trauma, freeing themselves from the shackles of fear and shame. There is now an invitation before us for us to meet this choice-point collectively.

There is a beckoning in our becoming and a reckoning in the beckoning . . .

The reckoning is simply this . . . WE MUST engage with the power of choice, no longer swayed by fear, but fully empowered by love. Free Will ultimately comes down to the power to choose our lens of perception. If we have succumbed to a lens of fear, because it’s all we’ve ever known, we end up believing that life is happening TO us and become powerless victims to our story. If we choose the lens of love we become empowered in the knowing that life is happening FOR us. The Lens of Love makes us curious students and ultimately, master storytellers. EVERYTHING we experience comes down to meaning making; the story we chose to tell ourselves. Are you ready to become a master storyteller?

Rational Enlightenment 

If we are going to make up a story, a narrative for our human existence, isn’t it about time we choose a story of grace and redemption from our unconsciousness? How much longer can we ignore the gap between “knowing better and doing better?” Knowing that we are the authors of that dissonance gap, is the ultimate act of self-betrayal. And I would offer, the underlying reason the human condition is riddled with anxiety and depression. We are in the throes of a neuro-emergency on this planet and our children are paying the price. Our nervous systems are fried and, as a result, our cognitive abilities are impaired.  It’s time for the adults in the room to show up and own our past without shame to claim a better future for ourselves. A beautiful example of Elder wisdom shows up in Chief Oren Lyons as he explains how the indigenous have prophesized this moment in the video: It’s Time to Get Ready

JOJI-One: A Breath-Giving Movement of Love

JOJI-One merges the power of the “Frankl Pause” with the science of “heart coherence.” Add to that, the scientifically proven “memory of water” ala Dr. Masaru Emoto, the “Butterfly Effect” and the power of collective imagination to engage with the morphogenetic field. And finally, the power of non-violent resistance shared by Erica Chenowith and you have a JOJI Experiment of Source Code proportions.

We have the divine power within us to shape a new narrative. JOJI-One invites a new story of epic proportions where millions, if not billions of humans, using their mobile devices, record a single 10 second breath of loving intention that is then sent around the world, again and again and again, causing a Butterfly Effect.

That breath of loving intention is pure magic, for it both improves the sender’s and receiver’s state of being. It reminds of us the delicate balance between Me and We. At any given moment millions of loving breaths are circumnavigating the globe reminding us to slow down and be present to the beauty of the existence we are blessed to be experiencing.

And, if we can stretch your quantum imagination even further, every breath we take has been passed down by our ancestors. Much of that breath/water has a memory of fear. If we are to break the cycle/story of fear, each breath of loving intention we send out now reprograms the water vapor in our breath to arrive as healing mist for our offspring for generations to come. But we don’t even have to wait to see the benefit. As our Indigenous Elders speak of the importance of acting with 7 Generations in mind. We, for the first time in our history, now have 7 Generations alive on our planet. We can meet the promise of 7 generations right here, right now. Blessed be . . . And because each breath of loving intention is exchanged with mother nature, our water, our trees, our plants, our animals, our very eco-sphere benefits from this conscious act of loving intention.

Levels of Engagement 
There are three levels of engagement with the JOJI-One “tool.”
1) Pay it Forward: Record your 10 second breathing sequence and know that your video will be forwarded to millions of others. If that is all you ever do, you will have done a lot! You can dream into how much your loving, calming presence will impact the well-being of another.
2) Enliven Your Community: You go a step further to invite your friends/community to breathe with you. We have two easy to use methods for doing so; 1) Operating System Link or QR Code. We are using “deep link” technology which means the very first video breathing sequence your friends will see will be yours.  
3) Reach Across the Globe:  You can elect to “meet new” friends to breathe with from across the globe. You’ll get to see their screen name and general location, but nothing more.  

Anonymous Intimacy
JOJI-One offers the unique experience of Anonymous Intimacy. Your screen name and general location is the only information others will ever see. This is an egoless approach to establishing connections with other human beings. Imagine the goodness of millions of people creating a mycelial web of connection that transcends all boundaries: geo-political, religious, ethnic, gender, etc. WE are of one breath, of one heart, of one world. And of one intention!

Hourly Breathing Prompts 
You’ll be prompted to take a breath at the top of every hour by a unique 528hz tone. You can define the range of hours you wish to receive the prompt. We have set a default for 7a-7p. You can turn up the volume in a public space and create a JOJI Flash Mob of humans breathing together or keep it silent and just take in the moment through lens of love.

Thank YOU for your help launching JOJI-One!

As an early adopter, we beg your indulgence as we work to refine and improve JOJI-One. There will likely been some bugs to fix and better approaches to the user interface. We’ve done this on a shoestring budget, relying heavily on the talents of our Wizard Programmer, Danny M and JojiMa’s background and vision codes that came through as a download on plant medicine in 2019. If you find bugs, please email: d.r.murawsky@gmail.com

We are hoping to attract both funding and experts in data visualization, social media, web design, graphic design, AI, community administration, etc. to help us blossom into a world-wide Breath-Giving Movement of Love. If you recognize yourself as someone who could help us crowd-fund/create please reach out to Edi@OfOneBreath.org

Thank you for reading all this and maybe watching a few videos or reading deeper into the constellation of ideas, science, and technology that is the foundation for JOJI-One

With love and hope for humanity,
JojiMa and Danny
