About Grof® Breathwork
Grof® Breathwork was developed by Stanislav and Christina Grof in 1974 as a profound method for self-exploration and inner healing.
Grof® Breathwork is an experiential approach to self-exploration and it is a way to induce deep holotropic states of consciousness by a combination of simple means – accelerated breathing, evocative music, and a special form of energy releasing bodywork. By combining these three elements, a very powerful tool is created.
Grof® Breathwork combines and integrates elements from modern consciousness research, depth psychology, transpersonal psychology, eastern spiritual philosophies, shamanism and other native healing practices.
The sessions are usually conducted in groups; participants work in pairs and alternate in the roles of experiencer, breather, and support for an experiencer, sitter. The process is supervised by trained facilitators who assist participants whenever special intervention is necessary. Following the breathing sessions, participants usually express their experiences by making a mandala, a visual impression, followed by sharing in smaller groups.If you're interested in reading more about Grof® Breathwork in the words of Stan Grof, read more here.
