Diana Medina, MS
Diana from Colorado, USA, is a senior trainer of Holotropic Breathwork® and advisor of Grof Transpersonal Training.
Holotropic Breathwork® is a modality using our breath to connect to our own inner wisdom. It is a modality that promotes radical self-empowerment. Using the breath in a safe, supportive environment allows us to awaken and bring to our awareness those things that inhibit us from trusting ourselves and connecting to our bodies. Healing is an inside job. We cease looking for our happiness and well being from someone else.
What a Holotropic Breathwork® facilitator does is create a safe “set and setting” in order to hold and support our experience. Being a good facilitator is dependent on the work they do on themselves. Otherwise, their own ego needs are likely to get in the way of the individual breather’s healing.
Our body, mind and soul are all connected. What is consciousness? Is it a manifestation of our brain? Or is it something deeper?
Learn from Diana about Holotropic Breathwork®, how healing from past trauma is possible and how to begin the journey to trust your own inner wisdom. Get an understanding of consciousness and decide to start your healing journey using Holotropic Breathwork®. Trust yourself and your deep inner knowing.
