Hello, I am new to this forum and am not sure if this right place to address my question. I am vehemently averse drug based mental health care. To this end very intrigued by both of the above figures. However, its been only recently that I have had an opportunity to explore Holotropic breath work, finding it to be profoundly inspiring.

Yet the more I read about Laing's work the more I feel his and Grof must have been similar. I don't mean their world view, I also refer to the type of techniques and methodologies.

Would I be correct.? How did Laing induce altered states or the re-birthing. Was it also through breathing.
