Podcasts about holotropic breathing

How does breathwork interact with our nervous system, access memories and help integrate traumatic memories? How has it got results treating auto-immune disease, addiction, agrophobia, PTSD and depression? How can it help sleep, detoxification, digestion, immunity, and taking control of negative thought patterns. In this episode we have the hugely popular practice of Breathwork to look into. After millennia of it being used in bodily practices like martial arts and yoga, conscious breathing was launched into our modern scientific world view by the work of psychologist Stan Grof, who developed Holotropic Breathing in the 1960's at Harvard, see our Transpersonal Psychology episode for more on that; Breathwork continued to gain in popularity following the focus on the lungs and breathing in near regulation proposed by Dr. Stephen Porges in his Polyvagal Theory, see our devoted episode with Dr. Porges for detail on that; And gained further in popularity with Dr. Pete Levine's development of Somatic Experiencing, who I am delighted to announce will be coming on the show in the next series, so look out for that.  So having been present for some time in the trauma community, in the last few years the practice has exploded onto the wellbeing scene as well because of all its benefits both physiologically and psychologically. So who better to talk to about this than expert in a wide range of Breathwork and body-based therapies, Rebecca Dennis. She facilitates workshops, events and retreats alongside her public speaking and individual sessions. She is a gifted speaker and coach, specialising in breathwork, trauma release, somatic modalities, polyvagal theory and nervous system regulation.  Part of her wide popularity is due to her having written three successful books on the topic, the latest being a new edition of Let it Go, “Let It Go and Breathe – A Practical Guide To Breathwork” which has been featured in Amazon and Sunday Times Best Sellers, and which we'll be discussing today. And she has also collaborated with Google, BBC, Stylist magazine and Sweaty Betty.

Picture yourself stepping into the realm of storytelling, intricately woven narratives, and the transformative potential of hypnosis.As your guide, Jess, paints a vivid scene, you can perceive your brain akin to an eager audience, naturally receptive to stories. These tales are not just stories, they're vessels carrying ideas, subtly reshaping your experiences and subtly demonstrating perspectives you hadn't considered before.In this realm, you'll stumble upon nested loops, a fascinating technique reminiscent of Russian dolls. Story within story, each loop is like a path leading you further into a captivating narrative landscape, a unique kind of maze designed to foster unconscious rapport and a sense of linguistic intrigue that stirs your intellect.At this point, you may find yourself recalling an old tale, perhaps one told by your grandmother, where one narrative seamlessly cascades into another. Isn't it fascinating how similar this is to exploring the ethics of hypnosis? The focus is on the delicate balance between suggestion and your commitment. You can almost hear the city's hustle and bustle, a backdrop that served as Jess's training ground, where she fine-tuned her skills in the midst of urban chaos.As you navigate this narrative labyrinth, imagine yourself stepping into an enigmatic room filled with the mystique of Rasputin. Jess unravels her own experience of channeling him, a tale that engrosses you and underscores the intricate dance between your conscious and unconscious mind.You soon find yourself at a thought-provoking crossroad where hypnosis meets mysticism. Jess, like a trusted guide, shares her insights on hypnosis's potential to mirror a psychedelic journey, but without any substances involved. Intriguing, isn't it?Continuing this winding path, neuroscience appears on the horizon, its metaphors serving as lighthouses illuminating the complex terrain of your unconscious and super-conscious mind.As this enlightening conversation winds down, you find yourself back where you started, at the entrance of the narrative labyrinth. Just like a skilled hypnotist bridging conscious states, you've embarked on a journey through a maze of stories and ideas, discovering the transformative potential of hypnosis. By stepping into this intricate dance of narratives, you uncover a deeper understanding of the vast capabilities of your own mind."There's no such thing as hypnosis. Everything is hypnosis."Jess's Links: The Intelligent HypnotistAmazon Author PageSacred Medicine Journeys

I dagens episode er vi taget til Fyn og besøge Speciallæge Jørgen Fjord. Jørgen er endvidere en af de ganske få personeri DK, der er uddannet i holotropisk åndedrætsterapi - også kaldet holotropic breathing. Dette er en metode til at komme i en ikke-ordinær bevisthedstilstand, som Stanislav Grof udviklede efter han ikke længere kunne arbejde lovligt med LSD. Jørgen fortæller i episoden om metoden og hans arbejde.

As requested, this week we will be diving deeper into breathwork.  In this episode I guide you through 2 beginner breathwork practices to clear your energy body and expand your awareness.  Using Hara Breathing and Ujjayi, you can create a state of wellness and calm during any point of your day.  The last breathing practice Holotropic Breathing should be explored with an experienced Breathing Coach, as this is a more advanced breathing practice that may cause light headedness and uncontrolled body reactions.  Nonetheless, these breathing practices can be mood enhancing and help shift your mindset should you find yourself overwhelmed, confused, unfocused or upset.Connect to Rainbow Raaja:

How much of our consciousness is shared? In this episode we have the fascinating job of trying to get to get to grips with Jung's concept of the Collective unconscious. I've always loved Jung and I think his ideas can offer a brilliant framework in which to maximise our mental health, to use life's challenges to harvest meaningful lessons, and just to navigate the subjective experience of being alive. But this is a science podcast, so we do want to get clear on what is just a useful idea and what is a scientifically proven reality. Jung was very shy to speak about scientifically unprovable ideas because he was a rigorous academic, but as his career progressed he was encouraged more and more to elaborate on the tools he was using with his patients; and as we'll discuss today he felt there was a huge value in acknowledging the active role of what lies outside of the sphere of testable knowledge, rather than just dismissing it as non-existent. So I am extremely happy to have Jungian analyst Dr Monika Wikman with us to help locate the threshold between these two very different fields of knowledge and to explain in detail the collective unconscious. Monika is the author of ‘Alchemy and the Rebirth of consciousness' and received her PHD in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology and then deepened her knowledge of Jungian Analysis at the Jung-Von Franz Center for Depth psychology in Zurich. She is an expert on topics including the anima mundi and environmental issues of our time, archetypal phenomena surrounding death, dreams, active imagination, and alchemy. Her work with the dying culminated in a research project called ‘Dreams of the Dying' at UC San Diego Medical Center, which is the foundation of her most recent book, Alchemy of Life, Death and the Wedding Veil.

This is Part 2 of my discussion with Charlène Gisèle.Charlène is a Professional Biohacker & Primal Health Coach. As a former Cambridge University law graduate and litigation lawyer, she  had the delusional tint on her mirror smashed when her father, a highly successful but stressed lawyer, had a heart attack and stroke while she was in the middle of an important trial. Coupled with the stress of her own work life as a lawyer, she ended up burning out. It was then she made the dramatic decision to step away from her legal career.Still desperate to serve clients, she embarked on a world health and wellness tour and retrained and qualified as a Primal Health Coach and Corporate Wellness Consultant. She now advises her former law colleagues, individuals and top corporate executives on how to optimise their health and wellbeing so they don’t experience the same stress and burnout that she did.In Part 2, listen as we discuss:Intermittent fasting and how the body is built to go through famine.Why Charlene doesn't eat before big meetings.Don't eat anything with an ingredients list.The power of eating with your hands, slowing down, and feasting infrequently.Why did we evolve to use forks and knives and why are we so afraid to get dirty?The misconceptions and dangers around the practice of Tantra.Factory farming's dangers and eating meat more responsibly.Hunters are often the most respectful and concerned about nature.Breathing is the antidote to stress.The different modalities of breathwork for different purposes.Instagram: @mo_gawdatFacebook: @mo.gawdat.officialTwitter: @mgawdatLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatWebsite: mogawdat.com/podcastConnect with Charlène Gisèle on Instagram @charlenegisele and her website, charlenegisele.com. Don't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Sunday and Thursday.

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/niraj2 I met my friend Niraj Naik (the same guy who invented the crazy holotropic-style breathwork protocol I do in my sauna) inside a sauna in Estonia, Finland, where he led me and one of my buddies through an "omming" breathwork protocol, and I've been hooked on him as my "go to guy" for breath work ever since. He joined me first on the podcast "The Renegade Pharmacist: How To Increase The Effects Of Psilocybin, The Secrets Of Colostrum, Fixing Constipation With Breathwork & More" and also invented the breath work routine that I took my boys and I through and detail in the article "How To Blast You (And Your Child's!) Physical, Mental, & Spiritual Resilience Through The Roof With Breathwork". He also recently designed an extraordinary 8 day breath work course called "SOMABreathFit" that my boys and I also just did - a course that combines fitness, sleep protocols, meditation protocols and much more in a simple-to-implement, done-for-you short daily program.  Niraj comes from a background of working long hours for several years as a community pharmacist. Becoming a certified “legal drug dealer” at the ripe age of 24, he got to witness first-hand, many clients going home with shopping bags full of drugs each month, rarely getting better and usually going on to suffer from other diseases. He also learned of the debilitating side effects of the prescription medications which drove many of the patients to have to take more and more drugs to ease the side effects. Curious to find ways to improve his own health, he attended several health seminars and discovered an in-depth approach on how to reach optimum health and vitality by understanding the true origin of disease and how to prevent it. After experiencing great benefits with his own health, Niraj was motivated to devise a scheme to see if he could also help his suffering patients. He incorporates a lifestyle plan called his "healthy shopping lists" that includes simple food swaps, tools and websites to support their specific conditions. Within two weeks he received testimonials from patients who were starting to get better and within a few months some being able to lower their dosages or completely come off their medications. After an arduous battle trying to get his novel approach accepted into the mainstream that resulted in a lot of stress and disillusionment, in 2010 he was diagnosed with a stress-related illness, ulcerative colitis, that left him housebound for over 10 months. He was told by doctors and nurses there existed no cure and he would need to be on medication for the rest of his life. Like his patients, Niraj suffered from side effects of his medication to the point he felt completely hopeless and even suicidal. He was then left with a choice that would be a major turning point in his life. Test out a new drug or have his colon removed. He decided to choose option 3, a path not yet known by conventional medicine. So began his search to learn from people who had great success with either curing themselves or others from chronic illness. He learned a combination of natural treatments including Ayurvedic practices and dietary recommendations from Paleo and Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). He studied healing methods through meditation, yoga and mind power techniques like self-hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). He even discovered the powerful techniques of sound and music therapy as tools for reducing stress and promoting self-healing. Niraj finally broke free from the burdens of his illness, without medication. The experience of illness has allowed him to completely re invent his life and discover a new passion for helping others to do the same.

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, you’re going to learn how to breathe. And the person who’s going to explain it is my guest James Nestor. He’s a San Francisco-based science journalist, author, surfer, free diver, adventurer, and speaker. His new book, "Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art,” takes on a topic that we all take for granted.So why is the topic of breathing so fascinating? Apparently, as “natural as breathing” really isn’t. Our breathing has evolved, and not for the better. Even though we think we know how to do it, our lives since the Industrial Age have been disrupted in ways that now are harming us. James set out on a decade-long quest to find out where our breathing went wrong—and how to fix it. He uncovered the history of ancient breathing techniques and the science behind breathing. His book draws on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology. He takes an intense and interesting look at this basic biological function of ours. One of the astounding things he discovered had to do with mouth breathing. “Twenty-five to 50 percent of the population are chronic mouth breathers,” James says. “So, we don't use our noses either because we can’t, because they're always plugged up, or we just choose not to. … So many people have chronic sinus. So many people are mouth breathing. And so many people have asthma that we've accepted this as completely normal, and it's not. And the science is very clear what damage this is doing to us as a population.”You’ll be thrilled at the stuff you’ll learn in this episode that you didn’t know before. From bone structure to oxygen intake to heart rate–and even your genitalia–breathing is at the center of it all. James is here to talk about ways that proper breathing can help heal modern medical conditions, ease anxiety and basically change your life.Enjoy!

The Seeker and The Skeptic is a podcast in which two friends, Rebecca and Cat, explore esoteric, paranormal and spiritual topics from two completely different perspectives. Cat is The Seeker, she’s interested in spiritual ideas and hopes to find something meaningful and empowering in the wisdom of religion and new age philosophy. Rebecca is The Skeptic, she’s passionate about finding truth (or at least getting closer to it) using the tools of reason and evidence. Though their approaches to life and ideas are very different they share a sense of humor and a commitment to talking honestly about what we believe and why, which is why they started this podcast. In each episode they discuss a different topic or experience they’ve had from Holotropic Breathing to Mediumship and they’ll see if they can learn something from each other or change each other’s minds… or if their conversation will devolve into a good natured slanging match. Whatever happens they think having these conversations will be enlightening and amusing and after they finish recording they’ll be pouring themselves a drink and planning their next adventure. The Seeker and the Skeptic podcast Twitter & Instagram: @SeekerSkeptic   We taped this conversation on April 28, 2019. Thanks for listening and "Be a Yes-Sayer to What Is".   We interview people you don’t know, about a subject no one wants to talk about. We hope to encourage people in the process of deconstructing their faith and help curb the loneliness that accompanies it. We think the world is a better place when more people live by sight, not by faith. Please subscribe to our podcast, and leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts.

Through breath work, movement, meditation, and consciousness, Matthias helps people both in and outside the business world discover themselves and connect with their own true potential.

This week we are joined by returning guest Rebecca Fox and her podcast partner, Cat Rose, both from across the pond! Together, they are producing a podcast called the Seeker and the Skeptic. We talk to them about some of the things they have been seeking together including Holotropic Breathing, which Tim thinks sounds horrifying. […]

In this (our first) episode Cat and Rebecca talk about their experience trying Holotropic Breathing a practice in which you breathe weird until your carbon-dioxide deprived brain produces visions. We dance, writhe around on the floor and wave our spirit fingers at the other hippies in a sharing circle. The conversation veers from how we know what is really real to prehistoric bog bodies and the potential dangers of alternative health practices. Exploring esoteric, paranormal and spiritual topics from two completely different perspectives it's The Seeker and The Skeptic.
