Psychedelic Breath

A contemporary branded breathwork format that combines active or connected breathing, breath retentions, electronic music, and facilitation to support altered-state experiences without psychedelic substances. The name refers to the intensity of the experience, not to any substance being used. Its altered states come mainly from fast breathing that lowers CO₂, combined with music, darkness and expectation. It is therefore not suitable for everyone, and the usual contraindications for high-ventilation breathwork apply. Because it is a branded format, details such as session length, music and the use of breath holds depend on the provider. There is no dedicated scientific research on this format, so its likely effects are inferred from studies on high-ventilation breathing in general.
