Beyond the Brain - Ultimate Love and Holotropic States of Consciousness
Nothing is so fullpacked with hopes, emotions, ideals, visions and energy as a close relation. And it also brings up to Awareness all the other qualities, which we normally don´t want to have or maybe even don´t feel very much related too: fear, anger, pain, envy, guilt, shame, loss etc. So the Relation is always a risk and a big Chance at the same time. When we see the circumstances under which archetypal or biographical conditions and personal preferences people choose one another it really seems like an “miracle” that one finds another and stays with him for a long time – maybe for a lifetime. Especially the elemental Crisis which often occur sooner or later in close Relationships seem to be really good Catalysts for Breaking through into other States of Awareness and Mindfulness beside the classical western EGO-Structure.
My Thesis for this Presentation is, that “Love” is a – or is related to an – expanded State of Consciousness. For this we “modern Minds” generally need some sort of “Opener”. Often Clients experienced such kind of Opener in personal Crisis or Peak-States which where induced through some sort of spiritual Practice, like Meditation or Yoga, or through Sports and other Everyday-Practices like Walking in Nature. Studies show that close and intimate Relationships by Heart are also a very profound “Opener” for this Expanded Consciousness which can lead into a much bigger Understanding of “Love” that is not exclusive but including Life itself or in general. In our western Tradition we find this Experience quite clearly in the Love-Poems of the Middle-Age-Mystics.
In my presentation I want to investigate Methods and Techniques which are used in the psychotherapeutical Setting and which are suitable for inviting the so called “holotropic States of Consciousness” (Stanislav Grof). I further on want to give a Guideline for Safety and Setting.

Awarenessbased DeHypnosis & Inner-Team-Focusing® (ITF)
Awarenessbased DeHypnosis and Inner-Team-Focusing® (ITF) has been developed by Jörg Fuhrmann as a holistic approach that is based on contemplative mindfulness and selectively incorporates the wisdom of the body with the inner trance work. Certainly, the ITF is based on the idea to be more than just a method or a methods Fusion. Because, as we all know, the experience of genuine contacts in the “here and now” and the conscious recognition of oneself has the greatest healing potential. Therefore, the ITF considers itself more as an “Process-oriented awareness-philosophy” which goal is “De-hypnosis” – if it even has one.
One of the basic ideas of ITF is based on what Transpersonal Psychology has been called a “consensus trance”: Throughout society we are all continually arrested in trances without an glimpse of awareness about this fact. Because for us “modern unconscious Caveman” these collective trances are rated as “normal Consciousness”.
These “Trances” were, induced by our parents, family, friends, educators, pedagogues, teachers, pastors, and of course, through the media. The only problem with this is, that our modern cultures provide no periods of conscious Recovery and collective DeHypnosis – like the Greeks still had. These continual focalizations and dissociations – both are essential for a successful hypnosis – are the true Creators of our different internal parts of the personality ( “ego states”). So we work in the ITF Training with induced trances, the personality facets, the repressed shadow shares – in the sense of C.G. Jung – and sometimes with unhealthy ego fixations which have emerged often from a believed, or as real experienced deficit. This work opens up a whole new framework and space, which gives Hypnosis back the Body and the deeper inner Awareness. Complicated doublebind-situations and ambiguous orders often get solved in a very elegant and gentle manner.

Holotropes Atmen – Selbsterfahrungsworkshop in Stein am Rhein
Holotropes Atmen ist eine transpersonale Methode, bei der mittels vertiefter und beschleunigter Atmung und spezieller Musik auch die zutiefst spirituelle Erfahrungen zugänglich und erlebbar gemacht werden. Somit kann es eine enorme Hilfe für Menschen in persönlichen Übergängen, bei psychospirituellen Fragestellungen (bspw. Sinnfragen, transgenerationale Themen, transpersonale Erfahrungen, Nahtoderfahrungen, energetische Aspekte etc.) sowie bei Problemen, Verpanzerungen, Blockierungen, Stauungen und Konflikten bedeuten.
Holotropes Atmen kann sowohl körperlich, als auch psychisch recht anspruchsvoll und herausfordernd sein. Daher bedarf es einer entsprechenden physischen Belastbarkeit und psychischen Grundstabilität. Durch das Holotrope Atmen werden keine Pathologien geheilt, sondern Entstehungszusammenhänge erkundet. Dabei gewinnen die Menschen ihre Autorität und Würde über das eigene Wachstums- und Selbstheilungspotenzial zurück.
Holotropes Atmen kann Ihnen bspw. Unterstützung bieten wenn:
- Sie den Raum für bewusstseinsverändernde Erfahrungen eröffnen möchten.
- Sie nach einer körperorientierten Methode, die weit über reine Gespräche hinausreicht, suchen.
- Sie sich in einem Übergang, einer Neuorientierung oder einer Krise befinden und nach tieferen Einsichten und Erkenntnissen suchen.
- Sie unvollendete Gestalten und Wunden Ihrer Vergangenheit schließen möchten.
- Sie eine fachliche Begleitung auf einem inneren Übungsweg wie bspw. Yoga/ Mystik/ Zen suchen.
- Sie die Themen, die auf Ihrem inneren Übungsweg auftauchen auch entsprechend begleiten und integrieren möchten.
Leitung: Jörg Fuhrmann (Holotopic Breathwork-Facilitator nach Grof)
