AB The Holo-GIM method is a technique based on the use of accelerated breathing and non-classical music to help the traveler awaken to their innate healing potential and release somatic resistance. The Holo-GIM  method represents an innovative approach combining elements from two established therapeutic techniques—Helen Bonny's Guided Imagery and Music and Stanislav Grof's Holotropic Breathwork. It aims to assist individuals in accessing their innate healing potential and releasing physical and emotional  resistance through a unique synthesis of music and accelerated breathing. This article introduces the Holo-GIM method along with a description of its core components. These essential, core componentsinclude assessing client readiness, music selection, breathing induction, guiding process, and post-session considerations. Further attention is given to kinesthetic and somatic engagement, working with a client’s innate healing potential and cultural considerations.
