Even while I was still at school, I read an article about holotropic breathing in one of the magazines. It was the 1980s.
After reading it, I immediately tried what was briefly mentioned in the article.
Essentially, it said: start breathing faster and more deeply.
I was attracted by the simplicity of this method—a way to enter another state of consciousness, which I was searching for intensely. I was interested in everything paranormal and mysterious, and especially in human potential.
What was described in that article—and in those days, articles were worth their weight in gold; when people wrote, they wrote the truth—astonished me. These were exactly the kinds of experiences I was looking for.
No, I did not enter any deep states back then; it was rather frightening
But I tried. And, of course, I experienced something unusual. A light touch of Something...
Without any substances, without shaktipats, gurus, initiations, ecstasies, trances... Everything I needed was called by one word—NOTHING.
Thirty years have passed since then, and I have learned this practice.
From two direct students of Grof himself, and even from his friends who still communicate with him.
So I came to know certain things that ordinary instructors of this Method may not know.
I learned to go through this method myself and to be a sitter. I completed both the theory and the practice.
That is, I breathed myself and acted as a sitter for those who were breathing.
There was a person in our group; I will not give details. He lived with shamans in Peru for many years. He took ayahuasca and so on. When we all breathed for the first time in a group of about 15 people and then listened to what experiences everyone had had, this person said roughly: “I drank ayahuasca for many years, but what I experienced today was much deeper and more powerful.”
Moreover, I told you that I myself went through an ayahuasca experience with one of the best-known shamans in this field—Guillermo Arevalo. So if this sounded exotic to everyone else in the group, I understood very well what they were talking about.
Moreover, you do not use anything external—everything comes from within. Just breathing, and that is all.
And, of course, knowledge.
And believe me, I have something to share with you
I created an audio file for you. You will conduct your holotropic breathing sessions with it.
But it is not a complete session, meaning it does not take you to the maximum.
You will be able to enter mild altered states of consciousness.
This is enough to address many issues.
It is also enough to become established at this level before going further and deeper, where you already need a sitter beside you to monitor you.
Moreover, few people will dare to go deeply right away, even with a sitter. So at first, everyone balances at the initial level.
And some remain there.
Thus, what I give you will essentially be sufficient for many people for their entire lives.
With only one difference: what I provide costs 5,000—and lasts a lifetime. A single holotropic session somewhere in a group, in some city, also costs 5,000—and lasts only once.
So you can calculate the difference.
Actually, I wanted to give this to you for free, but I realized that the only way to protect myself from inadequate people is to set a price. This also protects me, since I am not going to be responsible for the “creative work” of inadequate people. However, I will try to answer more serious practitioners who purchase my new product in this field.
Regarding fear: you do not need to drive it away. It is normal to be afraid.
It is a natural reaction of the psyche, self-protection in the face of the unknown.
That is precisely why I am providing a gentle version.
And even if this version frightens you, there is an entirely safe option.
When I was studying, we were told that there had been quite a few cases where people came to a group session and did not breathe at all. They simply lay there, attended, listened, and that was all. And they also gained their own small experience!
I thought of this too, creating an effect in the audio as though other people were breathing around you and you were not alone. It also creates a collective field that helps. It is like going to a gym—the atmosphere of the place helps.
Therefore, if you are afraid, simply listen at first.
Do not breathe.
But I will say this as someone who has been THERE: as a rule, even with deep immersion, nothing particularly frightening happens. Very rarely, in a group of 15 people, someone breathes so intensely that they begin to express emotions intensely, cry, sob, or even scream... Then the sitter steps in and calms them down.
I do not diminish the sitter’s work. But usually they simply sit there with nothing to do.
I cannot provide you with a sitter through an audio file
Therefore, to keep everything safe, we will use a gentle version—that is, we will not breathe for long.
And with this slight effect, we go deeper without breathing.
I repeat: you can exit this state at any moment; this is in no way some kind of effect on the brain caused by substances.
As I said, you can simply listen at first, like a meditation.
The second session—you can start breathing a little more deeply than usual.
That is, measure how you are breathing now, and simply breathe a little more deeply.
In the third session, go a little deeper still.
By the fourth, you will feel more confident. Then decide for yourself: either breathe quickly and deeply for a few minutes, or less quickly and deeply for 20 minutes.
The audio lasts about 108 minutes in total.
It spends 10 minutes preparing you. This is very important.
Then there are 20 minutes of intensive breathing.
After that comes the active phase of obtaining an unusual experience.
There is different music for each stage.
Music in holotropic work is extremely important!
That is why, in real sessions, it is played very loudly—like at concerts in stadiums.
There are huge speakers.
The sound is felt even in the body. That is how loud it is.
How should you listen to my audio file?
You can use headphones. Because using speakers, especially large ones, is probably not practical for most people.
And it is suitable for the initial level.
What might start happening?
Depending on the intensity of your breathing, your arms and legs—especially your hands and feet—will begin to behave unusually: there may be tingling, numbness, or a chill. With even more intense breathing, the muscles in your hands and feet may involuntarily contract, as if you had been immersed in icy water for a long time.
All of this almost immediately passes as soon as you start breathing normally.
Do not restrain yourself: if you feel like moving your arms or legs, move them. You may feel like shaking or twisting your body. You may raise your arms or legs and wave, vibrate, shake them, and so on.
Often, this is blocks being released. Or some internal events or visions may begin, and your body will physically try to do what is happening in the vision. It is similar to a sleeping person: if they are running in a dream, physically, in bed, their leg may twitch... That does not mean you will get up and run; something may simply be reflected physically as well. If you hit someone in a vision, your hand may twitch slightly, and so on.
Therefore, there should be nothing sharp or dangerous around you. Nor should there be candles, forgotten pots on the stove, irons, and so on.
A mat in a spacious room will work perfectly well. A sofa or bed may also be suitable.
You can cover yourself with a blanket.
A small pillow, or none at all.
A sleep mask.
But this is not required.
AUDIO:
What is Virt-Money - What is Virt-Money and how to have everything for free
The file is about 60 MB; it takes approximately 2 minutes to load with an average internet connection.
If the audio does not play, try another browser, such as Firefox, Opera, Chrome, etc.
So, if you are afraid, simply listen at first, without breathing. Do everything I say, but omit one element—breathing.
Then, next time, breathe a little more deeply than usual.
And you will become more confident on this Path.
You can begin a Session with an intention—any intention. As a rule, atheists and people who do not believe in anything come with psychological problems.
For example, to sort out problems with their mother, husband or wife, children, or themselves...
But I assure you, you can begin with any intention. You may even wish to meet Higher Beings, receive predictions about the future, and so on.
Whatever your imagination allows.
Do not conduct sessions too often. Once a week is normal.
Especially if you have already reached the maximum—that is, you are already breathing intensely for 20 minutes with my audio.
Treat the Session as a practice similar to going to the gym. In other words, it is substantial work.
Therefore, eat well. Approximately two hours before the Session, so that you have enough energy.
Do not get up immediately after the Session. Lie down for a while.
It is quite possible that the Experience may continue for a long time, even after all the physical sensations from the Session have passed.
The Method’s main principles:
In the audio, you will hear the sound of breathing. This does not mean that you need to synchronize with it. It simply shows that you can breathe more deeply. But you should breathe ONLY in the way that feels right to YOU.
And no other way.
It may be some form of bhastrika, deep yogic breathing, agni breathing... Anything you like!
Just breathe more deeply.
Through your mouth or nose—as you wish. Or inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, or the other way around... You will find your own way.
It will emerge naturally.
You can even do this: breathe deeply for a minute, then feel like stopping—stop. After lying down for three minutes, if you feel like breathing more deeply and continuing, start again right there in the Session.
If you feel like crying, cry. If you feel like laughing, laugh. If you feel like laughing wildly like a horse, laugh!
Observe what your body and psyche are doing.
You can begin with a light touch. In other words, you begin experiencing something unusual, it starts to frighten you a little—stop.
Return to normal breathing.
Let this be your gentle first session.
In subsequent sessions, you can go further and further.
Often, at first, everything is simply cleansed.
That is why you do not need to rush straight into deep holotropic work.
When I completed my own full holotropic Session, I walked around for about an hour afterward as if I were drunk. But after that, I felt as though I were flying!
The energy was literally surging. I could not even sleep.
The Session was in the evening.
And I want to emphasize: I take no responsibility for anything. You do this at your own discretion.
I know for certain that pregnant women and people with heart conditions also go through it, and that it helps them. But what you should do is for you to decide.
I am not a doctor—I only provide practices. That is all. If you need medical guarantees, go to doctors.
And once again: I am not providing Grof’s complete Method here.
This is both a meditation and a gentle touch of the Method.
You may be surprised by what you can experience through such a simple method.
This is no longer simply meditation or simply breathing.
It is much more serious!
In other words, an altered state of consciousness can genuinely be reached quickly through this practice.
And this does not require substances such as ayahuasca or many years of meditation training.
And what is especially valuable for you is that I went through all of this myself, studied with the best specialists in this field, and know how to convey it to you in a convenient form.
Of course, I will be happy if you do not buy my audio and instead go straight to a holotropic session in your city, if one is available. That is the ideal option. Or even simply to rebirthing.
You can do that.
I also do not guarantee you any deep experiences from the Session or any other states of consciousness.
You may have them, or you may not. So I am telling you this right away, without creating unnecessary expectations.
Do not take anything before the Session to “enhance” the effect. No alcohol, nothing.
Simply eat well two hours beforehand.
What should you do if you have already gone beyond what I provide in the audio?
For example, you have completed 20 sessions with the audio and are breathing at maximum intensity for 20 minutes. And you want to move further?
That is up to you.
I do not recommend it; I am simply saying that the natural next step—more—would be to breathe more, without the file.
That is now your decision and your practice.
I do not recommend it. But if you have decided to do so, that option exists.
