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.

The Ethics of Caring is written for all caregivers, including psychotherapists, bodyworkers, medical practitioners, clergy, hypnotherapists, and acupuncturists, who want to become more conscious in their relationships with clients. It provides unique help to volunteer and professional caregivers who want to sort out confusing ethical dilemmas in seven categories including love, truth, insight, and oneness as well as the more well-known ethical issues of money, sex, and power. Ethical issues pertain to longings, feelings, and motivations which resonate at our very core. Powerful, shared experiences in the context of the therapeutic relationship can bring to the surface compelling fears, needs, and longings in both the client and the caregiver. It offers a new model of self-examination which deepens the therapeutic relationship and can prevent the harmful consequences of ethical misconduct.

"Exploring Holotropic Breathwork" collects 144 field reports from a widespread practice of contemporary, non-drug, altered-state work. These articles were first published from 1991-2002-85 authors, trained in Holotropic Breathwork (HB) by Stanislav Grof, M.D., who is the author of "Psychology of the Future." Most of the authors included are professionals in medical, academic, therapeutic, and spiritual fields who also practice HB on a part-time basis. The articles were originally written to share their professional experiences and emerging theories with their peers. "Exploring Holotropic Breathwork" is therefore a rich source of information, not only giving information about the practice of Breathwork and anecdotes of psychological and physical healing in deep states of consciousness, but also discussing traditional therapy, Kundalini, shamanism, addiction and trauma recovery, astrology, and the integration of Breathwork with many other theoretical and practical systems and with ordinary living in general. The book happily includes a previously unpublished, 21-page article by Stanislav Grof entitled "Physical Manifestations of Emotional Disorders" in which he concludes that faster breathing creates a biochemical situation in the body that facilitates emergence and resolution of old emotional and physical tensions associated with unresolved psychological and physical traumas. There is a 16-page index and 18-page annotated table of contents to facilitate the use of this unique book as a reference.

I want to FLY! Lillibit, the caterpillar, declares. But how will she fly? After all, she is not yet a butterfly, and the other caterpillars don t believe she can do it. Lillibit wiggled and squiggled. She jerked and jiggled. But still nothing happened. In fact, it will take something greater than her best efforts to fly. It will take her letting go of everything she knows. For only within the mystical brew of metamorphosis will she leave her old life behind and begin a new one. Certain to appeal to children and adults alike, Lillibit's Dream takes readers on a heartfelt journey of big dreams, profound changes, and the gifts of acceptance, patience and faith. With easy, engaging language and charming, vibrant illustrations, author Melody Sullivan and illustrator Stanislav Grof deliver a beautiful analogy for life s transitions and the miracles of personal transformation.

In her essays, articles, and research collected for more than a decade, Kylea Taylor observes, discusses, and theorizes about therapeutic and sociological functions and effects of the breathwork system developed by Stanislav Grof, MD and his wife, Christina Grof. A good deal of the material focuses on the healing potential of Holotropic Breathwork for addiction recovery and trauma recovery and the mechanisms which make it effective for participants. In one article she deeply considers the ways in which one learns about oneself from the practice of sitting for another in Holotropic Breathwork (or sitting for anyone having strong cathartic emotions). Taylor's groundbreaking early 1990s research using Holotropic Breathwork in a residential center for substance abuse recovery is published here for the first time in its entirety. In another she describes the kinds of states seen in Holotropic Breathwork participants and compares them to the specific yogic sleep and meditation states for which Sanskrit has names. In her most recent essay, Taylor describes Jung's Fourth (Inferior) Function as the gateway for non-ordinary states of consciousness and transformative spiritual emergency. Other articles consider how we sponsor the unexperienced experience (Ivor Browne's term for unfelt trauma) and the ways in which the art process of SoulCollage(r) is useful for integration of non-ordinary state experience.
