Breathwork
Breathwork is a very powerful approach to self-exploration and healing. It integrates insights and
knowledge from modern consciousness research, anthropology, various depth psychologies,
transpersonal psychology, Eastern spiritual practices, and mystical traditions of the world.
Breathwork or Breath Therapy is best described as a highly personal, experiential process utilizing
breathing techniques to clear out physical, mental and emotional blocks or stresses. From the very
ancient times onwards, breath and breathing has been held powerful and sacred by practically
every culture in history.

The process itself is very simple. Workshop or classrooms are the ideal setting for giving
instructions. Before the breathwork session begins breathwork facilitator may provide tips to the
participants and answer questions. Process combines accelerated breathing with evocative music in
a special set and setting. With the eyes closed and lying on a mat, each person uses their own
breath and the music in the room to enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness that is comparable
to the state obtained by psychedelic medications. Upon the instruction of the facilitator the
breather begins breathing faster. The speed of the breathing process is up to the breather to decide.
This state activates the natural inner energy of the individual's psyche, bringing him or her a
particular set of internal experiences. With the inner healing energy guiding the process, the
quality and content brought forth is unique to each person and for that particular time and place
and may not be repeated. While recurring themes are common, no two sessions are ever alike in
all respects.

There are additional elements of the process which include focused energy release work and
mandala drawing. Holotropic Breathwork is usually done in groups, although individual private
sessions are also possible. During the class session, everyone pairs up with a partner who takes
turns. Each person in the pair takes works breather and a sitter and then alternates the roles. The
sitter provides emotional and physical support to the breather. Sitters caring and supportive role
provides the breather the feeling of safety comfort and love.
