“So ein Atemabend kann einem schonmal ein bis zwei Jahre Psychotherapie ersparen.” - Klaus C. Ulbricht
Ein Schwall positiver Schwingungen empfing mich, als ich das erste Mal in Klaus’ und Vidya’s Wohnung trat. Es war angenehm hell, roch wohlig nach Räucherstäbchen und die etwa zehn anwesenden Personen strahlten und machten es sich in Schneidersitzen auf den herumliegenden Kissen bequem. Mein Kumpel Walther hatte mich zu einer Lichtatmung eingeladen und ich war schon ein bisschen aufgeregt, nachdem ich erfahren hatte, dass holotropes Atmen schon einer psychedelischen Erfahrung gleichkommt. Beim Lichtatmen wird eine Form von Hyperventilation genutzt, also schnelles, kräftiges Atmen, um sich während der Meditation in einen veränderten Geisteszustand zu versetzen. Die Sitzung war in der Tat beeindruckend.
