I had known about holotropic breathwork for about a year before I finally decided to try it. Since I tend to be fairly insensitive to my own bodily sensations in techniques, energy work and similar practices, I had expected more from holotropic breathwork based on what others told me. What I experienced in my own body, and also as an observer of others, was a great gift to me. What freedom of expression means, how the subconscious and suppressed emotions are connected to the nervous system, what it means to surrender and trust others – facts and concepts that had been closer to me in theory than in practice – I had the chance to experience and observe in physical form. Words can hardly describe it, but I remember that what I saw and felt moved me deeply. I am grateful for the experience, and I commend all three facilitators for their professional work. Thank you.
