Hyperventilation for prisoners

Michael Martino

Adapted extract from a letter to the Institute

Friends, I've an idea that teaching violent, dictatorial, criminal people how to enter altered states of consciousness in which they experience the unity of all things, will change their personalities to the extent that a world at peace will be possible.

A technique called Holotropic Breathwork, developed by Dr. Stanislav Grof, which combines breathing, repetitious music and massage, enables people to enter altered states of consciousness without the use of drugs.

I'd like to apply for one of your prizes so that I can learn how to facilitate this process and offer it in prison settings as a way of altering their behaviours toward peace.
