Christina and Stan Grof: Holotropic Breathwork

Holotropic Breathwork is a practice that uses breathing and other elements to allow access to non-ordinary states for the purpose of self-exploration. It was developed by Stanislav Grof, M.D., Ph.D., and Christina Grof, Ph.D. Holotropic breathing has some similarities to rebirthing breathwork, but was developed independently. Holotropic Breathwork is intended as an approach to self-exploration and healing that integrates insights from modern consciousness research, anthropology, various depth psychologies, transpersonal psychology, Eastern spiritual practices, and mystical traditions of the world. The term holotropic means "moving toward wholeness." Note: this video's audio cuts out at the 36:40 mark.
