Holotropic Breathing is grounded in almost fifty years of observations and clinical research by Dr. Stanislav Grof, who has been observing and studying the healing potentials of non-ordinary states of consciousness since 1955. Dr. Grof is one of the co-founders of the field of transpersonal psychology in 1969 and is one of it’s leading theoreticians. He is the author of The Holotropic Mind, Psychology of the Future, Beyond the Brain, The Adventure of Self Discovery, Spiritual Emergency, and The Cosmic Game, among others.
