	HOLOTROPIC BREATHWORK VICTORIA - Breathwork Description

		Holotropic Breathwork is a contemporary method of deliberately allowing onself access to non-ordinary states of consciousness (NOSC) by means of slightly accelerating and deepening the process of breathing consciously in a safe and supportive setting; into this environment the astonishing hidden depths of the psyche can finally emerge.
