Holotropic Breathwork Book

Holotropic breathwork is a technique of psychotherapy developed by Stanislav and Christina Grof. This approach induces deep states of consciousness by a combination of straightforward means: accelerated breathing, evocative music, and bodywork that helps to release residual bio-energetic and emotional blocks.

In this holotropic breathwork book, Stanislav and Christina Grof describe their groundbreaking new form of self-exploration and psychotherapy – Holotropic Breathwork. 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 realms of the collective unconscious. Induced by straightforward means–a combination of accelerated breathing, evocative music, and bodywork in a safe and supportive setting – Holotropic Breathwork integrates insights from modern consciousness research, depth psychology (psychology that deals with the unconscious mind), anthropology (study of human beings), Eastern spiritual practices and many more.
