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]
