The Breathwork Experience

Are you interested in what really happens during a Holotropic Breathwork session?

Using breathwork participants’ descriptions of their actual experiences, The Breathwork Experience: Exploration and Healing in Nonordinary States of Consciousness documents and illustrates the power of the breath self-exploration and inner healing. The book takes you inside a breathwork session to see both what happens in the room from the standpoint of an outside observer, and what it feels like to be the person having the experience.

The Breathwork Experience outlines the human history of using non-ordinary states to seek healing and wisdom. It also discusses the theories of Stanislav Grof, M.D., Ph.D., author of Psychology of the Future, and describes the sensory, biographical, perinatal, and transpersonal types of possible human experiences in non-ordinary states.

Breathwork and trauma recovery

Three chapters focus particularly on the opportunities for aiding in healing trauma (in post-traumatic stress, childhood sexual abuse, and addiction). Many actual examples illustrate the kind of profound change which can occur using this natural, non-ordinary state as part of a recovery or healing process. Ten opportunities for assisting recovery from addiction through breathwork are listed.

Appendices in the book list systems that use accelerated breathing and other organizational and media resources which can assist those who are doing breathwork or other inner work.
