Holotropic Breathwork Through a Doctor's Eyes: Why He Left Conventional Medicine?
Psychiatrist Milan Hrabánek has worked in the field for thirty years — and today he says that part of what psychiatry calls an illness is in fact a breakthrough that we have learned to silence with medication. He claims we can reach the depths of our own mind without a single pill, using nothing but our own breath. He is a transpersonal psychotherapist, a student of Stanislav Grof and the founder of the Holos Centre in Opava — the only inpatient facility in Europe for people in spiritual emergency. What is a spiritual emergency? Why does a doctor stand up against his own field after thirty years? What are psychedelics? When is electroconvulsive therapy necessary? Is it true that alcohol is the strongest drug? How do psychedelics differ from drugs? Does it make sense to criminalise drugs? Can you reach an altered state of consciousness without a single substance, just by breathing? Why can trauma not be healed by talking alone? Does the doctor believe in reincarnation? And what did he experience at a château in France that he had never visited in his life? You will find the answers to these questions in the latest episode of TROSHCAST, available for FREE!
