The definitive overview of this transformative breathwork.

In this long awaited book, Stanislav Grof and Christina Grof describe their groundbreaking new form of self-exploration and psychotherapy: Holotropic Breathwork.

Holotropic means "moving toward wholeness," from the Greek holos (whole) and trepein (moving in the direction of). The breathwork utilizes the remarkable healing and transformative potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness. These states engender a rich array of experiences with unique healing potential - reliving childhood memories, infancy, birth and prenatal life, and elements from the historical and archetypal realms of the collective unconscious.

Induced by very simple means - a combination of accelerated breathing, evocative music, and bodywork in a safe and supportive setting - Holotropic Breathwork integrates the insights from modern consciousness research, depth psychology, transpersonal psychology, anthropology, Eastern spiritual practices, and mystical traditions.

The Grofs' work with holotropic states of consciousness has introduced revolutionary changes to psychiatry, psychology, and psychotherapy. Written in a clear, easily understandable style, this indispensable book summarizes their remarkable insights.

This book does not contain a practical step by step guide on how to perform Holotropic Breathwork for personal exploration. There are conversations on processes and practices for group sessions however they do not go into any detail on the actual processes of breathing etc.

This is however a great look at the history and progression of Holotropic Breathwork and an informative listen for those who are interested in altered states of consciousness.

Great background, no practical.

You don’t really find out the details needed for doing Holotropic Breathwork. It feels more like an ad to get you to do the in person training. It was a disappointing listen

More so an ad for Holotropic Breathwork

Mostly a commercial for breath work. Some interesting stuff at the start, but very repetitive. I may buy a breatwork session from them one day, but wasted my money on this below mediocre book.
