Synopsis

Using breathwork participants' descriptions of their actual experiences, this book documents the power of the breath to catalyze self-exploration and inner healing. The book takes you inside a breathwork session to see both what happens in the room from the standpoint of an outside observer, and what it feels like inside the participant. It discusses the theories of Stanislav Grof, M.D. about human experiences in nonordinary states, and describes how breathwork has aided in healing trauma from post-traumatic stress, childhood sexual abuse, and addiction. The book lists resources to assist those who are participating in breathwork or doing other inner work.

Reviews

In The Breathwork Experience, Kylea Taylor has done a masterful job in drawing together facts, case histories, personal and professional strategies - just about anything that might arise during the practice of breathwork. Kylea writes with intelligence, heart, humor, and the wisdom that only comes through experience. This is an important contribution.

I recommend the book. It is a well written, well structured handbook to breathwork based on Stanislav Grof's theories. It is an excellent reference book which ought to be included on the reading list for training programs for rebirthers, world-wide.
