What are the benefits of Holotropic Breathwork?
In his book, Psychology of the Future, Stanislav Grof, co-founder of Holotropic Breathwork explains, “in holotropic states, we can transcend the narrow boundaries of the body ego and reclaim our full identity.” Holotropic Breathwork assists this process by inducing a non-ordinary state of consciousness in a safe context, enabling participants to reconnect with self, others, the natural world, and spirit. When the body and mind enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness through controlled breathing, in an appropriate context, the inner wisdom uses the opportunity to work toward physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing, and developmental change. Holotropic Breathwork operates under the principle that we are our own best healers, in that each of us has an inner healing mechanism, which can best do its work in non-ordinary states of consciousness.
