Spiritual States w/out Drugs: Holotropic, Vision Quests + Vipassana


1)     Full deep breaths – make each breath full and deep, breathing into the “bottom” of your lungs so that when you breathe in, your belly should move out a bit.
2)     Continuous, “circular” breathing – the breathing should be done in such a way where there is no gaps in the breath..i.e. you should not be holding your breath at any point.  When your lungs are almost full, you want to turn the breath around and start exhaling.  When your lungs are empty, you want to immediately turn the breath around and start inhaling.  This creates a breath pattern whereby you are always breathing in or breathing out, creating a circle of breath.
3)     Faster than normal – You also want to breathe a bit faster than you normally would.  However, you do not want to breathe so fast that you create tension in your body…your body, and especially your lungs, should be relaxed, without straining, so that the breath can be maintained for a long period of time without tiring yourself out.
4)     Mouth vs Nose Breathing – It is easier to move air quickly through the mouth and mouth breathing tends to be more supportive of emotional release so most people find that breathing in and out through the mouth supports their process better than nose breathing.  However, some people find that mouth breathing is uncomfortable for them in which case nose breathing is fine also.
But, again, after 15 or 20 minutes, everyone’s body will generally find their own rhythm and way of breathing.  There are as many breathing styles as there are breathers.
NOTE:  HOLOTROPIC BREATHWORK IS A  TECHNIQUE THAT CAN EVOKE POWERFUL RELEASE OF SUPPRESSED TRAUMA AND SHOULD ONLY BE DONE UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A GROF CERTIFIED HOLOTROPIC BREATHWORK FACILITATOR
