Safety and Facilitation

Good deep-breathwork facilitation is described as requiring the ability to hold space and ideally trauma-informed training. Deep breathwork can be powerful enough to require caution. The source advises against doing very deep long breathwork sessions casually or alone without support. Breathwork practices that alter state require an appropriate setting and should not be done while driving. Long holotropic-style sessions may produce intense psychological experiences, trauma emergence, altered perception, and major emotional release. Othership's app intentionally avoids the deepest holotropic-style sessions.
