Following the US crackdown on drugs in the 1970s, research into psychedelic interventions largely came to a standstill. The Grofs, intent on searching for a legal alternative, turned their attention to holotropic breathwork, a breathing technique that they claimed induced psychedelic states with a power and intensity comparable to LSD.
Holotropic Breathwork (Warning: Do not try without a trained professional) Holotropic Breathing was first invented in the 1970s to treat patients with mental health conditions. In this practice, the participant lies down in a dark room, and breathes as heavily and as quickly as they can.
Holotropic Breathwork has been used to help “Wish it would last longer than 10-20 secs” said Robert Lance. Others were frustrated with how long the effects
The aim of the present study was to explore the effects of Holotropic Breathwork in the context of a weeklong workshop called “Insight and Opening”. This workshop combines four Holotropic Breathwork sessions, daily Vipassana meditation, and formal teachings. A repeated-measure, Pre-Post test design with a 4 month follow-up time point was used.
Key takeaways: arrow-right. Holotropic breathing is a deep breathing technique that induces an altered state of consciousness characterized by intense emotions, vivid imagery, and spiritual connection. Personal growth, healing processes, or spiritual explorations can be facilitated using this method. arrow-right.

I googled “holotropic breathwork mothball smell” and strangely, a bunch of threads and some articles came up about some forms of breathwork which include long periods of non-breathing to incite the body to release natural DMT. And DMT apparently smells like decay or mothballs. I have to say, I’m open but equally a bit freaked out as this
Updated: Oct 19, 2022. Carolyn Green, BSc (PT), PhD, has facilitated over a thousand non ordinary sessions using holotropic breathwork in workshops and individual sessions in BC and Alberta and co-founded thesecretofbreath.com. Carolyn’s research includes areas of pharmaceutical safety and policy. She is a non-practicing physical therapist
In a different study 38, participants administered with bacterial endotoxin (E. coli) who performed fast-paced breathwork had higher spikes of cortisol compared to non-breathwork controls, during the intervention, but a quicker recovery and stabilisation of cortisol levels after cessation of breathwork. This could be another mechanism of action
Many breathwork methods claim that breathing can be used to access nonverbal memories. Rebirthing uses conscious breathing to purge repressed birth memories and traumatic childhood memories. Holotropic Breathing was developed by Stanislav Grof and uses deepened breathing to allow access to non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Holotropic Breathwork is a breath-based form of therapy that uses fast breathing exercises, evocative music and bodywork to help you explore your mind and release emotional blocks. When you do
Addictions remain challenging conditions despite various promising traditional approaches. Although complete, long-term abstinence may be ideal, its attainment remains elusive. Many recovering addicts and clinicians stress the importance of spiritual issues in recovery, and 12-step programs such as AA are well-known approaches that embrace this philosophy. Holotropic Breathwork (HB) is another
I read a general overview of the basic technique in Grof's [i:e46425ff6a]When the Impossible Happens[/i:e46425ff6a]. Most of the training for facilitators has more to do with helping people deal with difficult experiences brought on by the breathwork and less to do with the actual breathwork technique itself, which is actually fairly simple.
You can’t really do holotropic breathwork on your own or via the use of some fancy phone app. Holotropic breathwork is instead typically led by a certified professional holotropic breathwork facilitator, often in a 2-3 hour long group session.
