Few spaces left. Introduction to holographic breathwork 15 min session
Holotropic Breathwork is a therapeutic technique developed by psychiatrist Dr. Stanislav Grof and his wife Christina Grof. It involves controlled breathing techniques, combined with evocative music and sometimes bodywork, to induce altered states of consciousness for therapeutic purposes. The term "holotropic" means "moving toward wholeness" in Greek, reflecting the aim of the practice to promote healing and self-discovery.
During a Holotropic Breathwork session, participants engage in rapid and deep breathing patterns for an extended period, typically lasting several hours. This intense breathing is believed to activate the unconscious mind, facilitating access to repressed memories, emotions, and spiritual insights. Participants often experience a range of sensations, emotions, and visual imagery, which can vary widely from person to person.
The practice is often conducted in group settings, with participants taking turns as breathers and sitters, providing support and guidance throughout the process. It is important for sessions to be facilitated by trained professionals to ensure safety and provide proper integration support afterward.
Holotropic Breathwork has been used for personal growth, trauma healing, spiritual exploration, and self-awareness. However, it's not without controversy, and some critics raise concerns about potential risks, especially for individuals with certain medical or psychological conditions. As with any therapeutic technique, it's essential for individuals to research and consider their own needs and circumstances before participating.
