My Thorn-Paved Road To Healing Via Altered States and Near Madness BY MARGARET COYNE

“This book does not come with the additional benefit of professional editing. As such, its contents are the raw and uncut narrations of my two and a half years of inner exploration through both “talking” therapy and a process known as Holotropic Breathwork™. At times, certain sections of the narrative will not make for easy reading. However, it was only through re-experiencing the painful events described that I was finally able to let go of the anger and begin to forgive my tormentors but most of all, begin to acknowledge and accept myself for who I really am….” (Back Cover).

"Non-ordinary states of consciousness are certainly a unique source of deep insights into the deepest recesses of the human psyche. In my opinion their potential significance for psychiatry is comparable to the importance of the microscope for medicine or the telescope for astronomy. It is hard to believe that this area has been largely ignored by traditional psychiatrists and psychologists...."

Deciding To Write The Book
One day while I was sitting at my computer I happened to look up at my shelves and saw the three large ring-binders containing the detailed handwritten accounts of my thirty Holotropic Breathwork™ sessions and thought I really should do something with those. I realized what a shame it would be to leave them there gathering dust when they might be of some interest or indeed help to perhaps breathwork facilitators in training, people considering embarking on their own journeys or maybe someone already in the process of dealing with their demons. I decided there and then I was going to put them into book form.
The most enjoyable part of putting the book together was deciding on the cover, although to be honest it didn't take a lot of thinking about. The idea came very quickly, inspired by an image I had following one of my sessions - a foetus connected by his umbilical cord to the Universe. He was so beautiful, gently floating in space against a background where pastel shades of blue and pink merged into one another.
