In this episode, Petr sits down with Dr. Colleen Quinn — psychologist, breathwork facilitator, and author of Essence Merging — to explore near-death experiences, integrative circular breathwork, trauma healing, and spiritual awakening.
Dr. Quinn shares her life-changing journey through breathwork retreats in Costa Rica, profound psychedelic-like states without substances, and how breathwork may activate DMT in the pineal gland to induce bliss, healing, and expanded consciousness.
This deep conversation dives into:
Near-death experiences (NDE) and spiritual transformation
Breathwork vs meditation vs psychedelics
Trauma healing through somatic therapy & Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Inner child healing and “wounded parts” of the psyche
MDMA-assisted healing and nervous system reset
Pineal gland activation and DMT states through breath
Nonviolent communication and conscious relationships
Spiritual awakening, cosmic consciousness & higher frequencies
The future of humanity, consciousness, and collective awakening
Dr. Quinn also discusses her upcoming book Essence Merging, blending her spiritual journey with a powerful love story and insights into human evolution and consciousness.
If you're interested in breathwork, trauma healing, psychedelics, spirituality, or self-mastery, this episode is packed with transformative insights.
