Connection Technique

A Connection Technique is any single technique, such as meditation, writing, etc., that helps one strengthen and purify Connection.[1] Connection techniques, along with Connection Appliances and Connection Supplements, constitute the Connection Procedures that an individual may use to initiate, maintain, and strengthen Connection.

Notes

Connection Techniques are one of theree different Connection Procedures

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]
