Holotropic Breathwork
Your Adventure of Self-Discovery in a supportive, safe & loving container.
Holotropic Breathwork™ is a spiritual practice and powerful approach to self-exploration and healing that integrates insights from modern consciousness research, anthropology, various depth psychologies, transpersonal psychology, Eastern spiritual practices, and mystical traditions of the world. The name Holotropic means literally “moving toward wholeness” (from the Greek “holos“=whole and “trepein“=moving in the direction of something).
Holotropic Breathwork is induced by very simple means, a combination of :
- accelerated breathing,
- evocative music, and
- bodywork in a safe and supportive setting.
Use the power of your breath and music to move into deep, non-ordinary states of consciousness in a safe setting. Unlock the personal and collective unconscious to explore the deepest aspects of Self, Spirit, and Universe
In his book ‘Psychology of the Future’, Stan Grof mentions that, “In holotropic states, we can transcend the narrow boundaries of the body ego and reclaim our full identity.”
Noted author Jack Kornfield refers to Holotropic Breathwork as, “Among the deepest and most profoundly comprehensive work of the spirit being offered today.”
Deepak Chopra applauds it as well, commenting that, “Stanislav Grof is one of the most important pioneers in the scientific understanding of consciousness. He and his wife Christina have contributed both to its intellectual and experiential understanding through their work.”
Holotropic Breathwork is helpful for a broad variety of people who are seeking greater psychological unfoldment, an expanded consciousness or spiritual dimension in their lives. It is perfect for people who want to relieve stress or anxiety, or move past ’stuck-ness’ and reenergize their lives. It can help to release emotional symptoms and change unproductive behaviours. And, for people who are grieving, in mourning, it is very supportive, helping them to explore all kinds of feelings, to bring about catharsis or release of stored feelings.
The breathwork utilizes the remarkable healing and transformative potential of nonordinary states of consciousness. These states engender a rich array of experiences with unique healing potential – relieving childhood memories, infancy, birth and prenatal life, and elements from the historical and archetypal realms of the collective unconscious.
