Holotropic Breathwork (Grof breathwork, holonomic breathwork, holonomic therapy, holotropic breath therapy, holotropic therapy): Psychotherapeutic technique developed in the 1970s by Czechoslovakian-born psychiatrist Stanislav Grof, M.D., and his wife, Christina Grof, author of The Thirst for Wholeness. It involves breathwork (hyperventilation), sound technology (mainly loud music), and the drawing of mandalas (aids to meditation), and it may include focused bodywork.

Holotropic Breathwork is a access to one's natural healing energies. It can induce transpersonal experiences, which, according to Dr. Grof, can provide information about any aspect of the universe in the present, past, and future.
