AbstractObjectives: critical review of etiological theories of phenomena reported in Holotropic Breathwork [HB]. Method: literature on Holotropic Breathwork, hyperventilation syndrome, polyvagal theory, SARs theory, classical mytho-poetic traditions, the role of music, anomalous experiences and healing, and classical psycho-spiritual explanatory models are reviewed. Discussion: physiological and neurophysiological models, transpersonal, and cognitive psychological models, ethno-epistemological problems and methodological concerns are reviewed. Narrative logic versus stochastic models is examined. Conclusions: voluntary over-breathing and music provide access to non-ordinary states through the putative effects of vagal toning and sonic integration. Cognitive processes may play a role in permitting the anomalous internal narrative experiences. ResumenObjetivos: revisi贸n cr铆tica de las teor铆as etiol贸gicas de los fen贸menos reportados en la respiraci贸n holotr贸pica (RH). M茅todo: revisi贸n de la literatura sobre la respiraci贸n holotr贸pica, el s铆ndrome de hiperventilaci贸n, la teor铆a polivagal, la teor铆a SARs, las teor铆as mitopoi茅ticas cl谩sicas, las experiencias an贸malas y de sanaci贸n, y de los modelos explicativos psicoespirituales cl谩sicos. Discusi贸n: el presente articulo se revisan modelos fisiol贸gicos y neurofisiol贸gicos, modelos transpersonales y modelos psicol贸gicos cognitivos, problemas etno-epistemol贸gicos y cuestiones metodol贸gicas. Finalmente, se examina la l贸gica narrativa frente a los modelos estoc谩sticos. Conclusi贸n: la hiperventilaci贸n voluntaria y la m煤sica permiten el acceso estados no ordinarios de consciencia a trav茅s de los supuestos efectos de la tonificaci贸n vag谩l y de la integraci贸n a trav茅s del sonido. Los procesos cognitivos pueden jugar un papel en el proceso permitiendo que se produzcan las experiencias narrativas internas an贸malas. |
