Connection Technique

A Connection Technique is any single technique, such as meditation, writing, etc., that helps one strengthen and purify Connection.[1] The term may also refer to any structured, daily, connection practice.

Notes

A Connection Practice is a formal method of connection that may use one or more Connection Techniques in order to facilitate and support connection.

Grof speaks of various "mind-altering techniques," like breathing, drumming, dancing, fasting, social and sensory isolation..." that can induce connection (or Holotropic States, as he says).[2] He also speaks of "systematic spiritual practice" like meditation, concentration, breathing, and movement exercises,'[3] but separates these from "mind-altering techniques' which are presumably not systematic and not spiritual?? Perhaps this is Grof attempting to assert a Eurocentric boundary. See "The Sociology of Religion: A Decolonizing Approach" for more on this Boundary Problem.[4]
