Holotropic Breathwork is powerful way to expand our state of consciousness about who we are and how we relate to the world. Expanded states of consciousness (ESC) are nothing new and include reveries and dreaming. Many cultures have devised ways of inducing ESC. These include fasting, drumming, trance dance, breathwork and plant medicines.
Holotropic Breathwork
Moving Towards Wholeness
Holotropic means to move towards greater wholeness which includes greater compassion and connection within yourself, your community and the collective. ESC can facilitate this movement by activating the inner wisdom to heal ourselves, also called one’s Inner Healer.
What has happened to us is not as important as how we react to and process these experiences. If memories or emotions are overwhelming we can repress or deny them. This can lead to free floating anxiety, judgment and compartmentalization - a lack of wholeness. If a situation brings up unprocessed fears or emotions we can be ‘triggered’ and react without awareness and form deeply habituated unskillful patterns. During a Holotropic Journey, the normal regulation, prohibition and narrowing of what we allow ourselves to think about is diminished. This opens the door to an expanded state of consciousness. If we feel safe in the setting provided by an experience Guide, we can let our guard down and allow the repressed or subconscious issues to enter our awareness. We can then ‘heal’ these issues by witnessing them within a framework of compassion for ourselves and others that the Inner Healer can provide.
As old patterns are released, whole new spaces open for wonderful ways to be in the world. Are you ready to more deeply explore your one wild and precious life?

Testimonials
“A lot of my trauma and internalized oppression had taken me out of my body. The Journey allowed me to see that I was more than my ruminations. It put me back in my body and reminded me that it’s connected to something greater that’s centered in love. My practice is finding my way back to that mind-state without being ‘on a journey’. To that end, the integration process has been huge.”
“Where I tended to resist diving into the heart of a problem because of the sheer pain that came with recounting trauma, I was encouraged to stay present and face myself and my issues. I discovered that my avoidance had led to me basically becoming disconnected from the issues, but by acknowledging them and confronting them, I was actually able to figure out the actual *cause* of my problems instead of just taking swipes at the symptoms (which is most of what I had been doing for years with previous talk therapists).”
“I was having revelation after revelation. My body is so wise. It’s telling me all these things it needs and I just need to listen.”
