New Visions of Consciousness with Stanislav Grof, M.D.

MP3 Download

A pioneer in the exploration of the human mind and psyche, Grof points to a vast domain, far beyond the mechanistic conception of human memory, that opens to the full range of the human past and present. He speaks to a unity underlying apparent separateness--a continuity of experience which pervades consciousness. New perspectives and insights abound in this mind-expanding conversation, which also includes an account of Holotropic Breathing, the dramatic new therapeutic method Grof developed.
