“…the situation of people during Holotropic Breathwork very likely resembles that of being in high mountains, where there is less oxygen and the CO2 level is decreased by compensatory faster breathing…”
- Stanislav and Christina Grof, Holotropic Breathwork
Would you guess that breathing more air for several hours would mimic being at altitude? Well, maybe if you’re into respiratory physiology : )
In any case, this is just one of the many cool ideas we cover in our new Book 411 on Holotropic Breathing: A New Approach to Self-Exploration and Therapy.
Even if you don’t use (or agree with) the method, I hope you’ll check it out. I found it to be a fun read and intriguing perspective 🙏
