A weeklong workshop combining four Holotropic Breathwork sessions, daily Vipassana meditation, and formal teachings was associated with a significant reduction in the Global Severity Index and significant increases in meaning in life and self-directedness two weeks after the workshop. The study used a repeated-measure, pre-post test design with a four-month follow-up. Holotropic Breathwork was found to produce mystical-type experiences.
