    The Healing Power of Breath: Holotropic Breathwork Explained

    Send us a text ** If you are a therapist in the Charleston, SC area and would like to attend a holotropic breathwork workshop with us on Feb 27 and 28th 2026, please email at hello@innerbloomhealingarts.com with your interest.  Thanks!  In this episode, we explore holotropic breathwork, a powerful, non-pharmacological method for accessing non-ordinary states of consciousness. My guest is Ashley Wile, a certified Holotropic Breathwork practitioner who has been leading groups and workshops for over three decades. Drawing from the lineage of Stanislav and Christina Grof, Ashley brings deep experience, humility, and respect for the psyche’s innate capacity for healing. Together, we discuss what holotropic breathwork actually is, how it works, and what people commonly experience during a session. We explore who may benefit most from this work, important safety considerations, and how breathwork compares to psychedelic therapy and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. This conversation is especially relevant for anyone curious about altered states, depth psychology, trauma healing, or integration-oriented approaches that do not rely on substances. In this episode, we cover: How Ashley found her way into breathwork and why the work remains meaningful after 30+ yearsThe purpose and philosophy behind holotropic breathworkWhat a breathwork session is like for someone with no prior experienceEmotional, psychological, and transpersonal benefits of the practiceWho may benefit most from breathwork—and who should approach with cautionKey safety considerations and contraindicationsHow breathwork differs from psychedelic therapy while sometimes accessing similar statesThe importance of preparation, facilitation, and integrationWhether you’re a clinician, therapist, healer, or simply curious about consciousness and inner healing, this episode offers a grounded and nuanced look at breath as a pathway to transformation.

    Not All Doses Are Equal: Exploring High vs. Low Dose Ketamine and the Healing Power of Discomfort

    Send us a text In this episode, Dr. Juan Pablo Galindo breaks down the nuanced differences between psycholytic and psychedelic dosing in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)—and why the way we dose matters for therapeutic outcomes. You’ll learn how lower, talk-friendly doses (psycholytic) support emotional processing in real time, while higher, dissociative doses (psychedelic) offer deeper access to the unconscious. We discuss the therapeutic pros and cons of each approach, and how they can be used intentionally based on clinical goals. In the second half, we shine a light on a growing concern in ketamine treatment: the overuse of anti-anxiety medications (like benzodiazepines) in IV ketamine clinics when clients feel distressed. Through the lens of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we explore the concept of experiential avoidance—how trying to numb discomfort can actually block healing—and why some of the most difficult moments in therapy are also the most meaningful.

    Black Psychedelic Revolution: An Interview with Dr. Nicholas Powers

    Send us a text In this powerful episode, Dr. Juan Pablo Galindo sits down with Dr. Nicholas Powers, author of Black Psychedelic Revolution: From Trauma to Liberation, to discuss the often-overlooked relationship between psychedelics and the Black community. Dr. Powers unpacks the historical erasure of Black and Indigenous psychedelic traditions, the intersection of systemic oppression and the War on Drugs, and the radical potential of psychedelics as tools for personal and collective healing. Together, they explore how psychedelic therapy can address intergenerational trauma, reconnect communities with their ancestral traditions, and challenge the structures that have historically marginalized Black and Brown people from these healing modalities. From historical injustices to visions of liberation, this conversation offers deep insight into how psychedelics could play a role in reshaping society and fostering true interconnectedness.
