“The key experiential approach I now use to induce non-ordinary states of consciousness and gain access to the unconscious and superconscious psyche is Holotropic Breathwork. This seemingly simple process, combining breathing, evocative music and other forms of sound, body work, and artistic expression, has an extraordinary potential for opening the way for exploring the entire spectrum of the inner world.”
― Stanislav Grof
What is Holotropic Breathwork?
Holotropic Breathwork is a transformative practice that involves utilizing a deliberate breathing technique to access altered states of consciousness with the goal of achieving enlightenment. The term "holotropic" originates from the Greek words "holos" meaning whole and "trepein" meaning to move toward, indicating a journey towards wholeness.
Central to this method is the belief that healing originates from within the individual engaging in the breathwork. The process aims to empower participants and facilitate a sense of personal growth and understanding.
Participants of Holotropic Breathwork engage in rapid and steady breathing patterns to enter an altered state conducive to gaining deeper insights into themselves. This experience is often likened to a heightened form of meditation.
It is believed that any past traumas that surface during a session are necessary for the healing process, although this may not be apparent initially. Each individual's encounter with Holotropic Breathwork is distinctive, self-guided, and unfolds organically as the practice unfolds.
These transformative sessions compliment psychotherapy or Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy to clear any remaining pain, trauma or stuck energy that may have been stored in your body for years. These sessions are led by our certified Holotropic Breathwork practitioners. We offer both small group and individual sessions, virtual and in-person.
