Summary
In this totally mind-blowing episode, Dave is live on stage in San Francisco with Dr. Stanislav Grof, inventor of transpersonal psychology, pioneer of LSD psychotherapy, and the world’s leading expert on Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness. One of the first psychotherapists to use LSD in research environments in the 60s to study altered states of consciousness, Dr. Grof shares his insights into that extraordinary experience, and how he now uses powerful holotropic breathwork to help people reach non-ordinary states of being. Dr. Grof and Dave also dig into how psychedelic drugs are being used today, how the circumstances of our birth can truly impact the course of our lives, and all the different ways there are to reach a transcendental state of healing. You won’t want to miss Dave’s enthralling conversation with this master of the mind!

| 0:45.6 | those cells every day because that would get in the way of your body's normal functioning. In |
