Rebirthing (Integrative Breath Therapy) is a miraculous process of self-healing which encompasses the psychological, spiritual, physical and mental. It has at it's core, the use of a simple, yet dynamic breathing technique, and a deeper understanding of the power of thought. This breathing is very specific and is very similar to some of the ancient yoga techniques - Krya yoga and Pranayama. It has been developed to appeal to a more western approach.
Many Ancient spiritual wisdom's teach that, one of the keys to mastery of our life is through specific breathing exercises / techniques. In the book 'Autobiography of a Yogi', Yogananda said "We can heal all ills of the mind, body, emotions and spirit by learning to breathe consciously"
A session involves connecting the inhale to the exhale in a continuous relaxed and rhythmic breath, whilst maintaining full awareness on the breath and energy and how it feels in the body. It is aptly named 'Conscious Connected Breathing' and a session can last from 1 to 2 hours or more.
Through this powerful technique, we are able to access and heal deeper levels of our subconscious, where old fears, emotional hurts and negative belief patterns are held and suppressed, including birth experiences. The breathing has the effect of building up the energy in the body, in much the same way as doing physical exercise. The increased energy can then be used to dissolve any blockages, instead of burning it up.
It is important in the early stages that one is guided by a professional Rebirther, with the skill to encourage and support your breathing rhythm and expansion; also to provide the 'psychic safety' and experience to help you release old patterns and emotions, as well as assisting your understanding of the process in psychological terms. The 'rebirthee' becomes increasingly aware of what is preventing them from having the life they want. After a series of sessions, usually 10 to 20 with a Rebirther, you can continue the process by yourself.
Many Rebirthers run workshops, where you can experience rebirthing in a group. It is recommended that you do both: individual sessions can give you more personal attention, whilst you can gain a broader perspective and support through interacting with others in the wonderful healing space of a group.
Common mis-perceptions of Rebirthing.
It is not:
- Past life regression.
- A religion or cult.
- A form of primal Therapy.
- A quick fix to sort out your problems.
You are NOT forced to get in touch with Negative Memories or Painful Birth Trauma.
Benefits:
- Relaxation and stress release.
- Emotional / mental problems /depression cleared up.
Improves conditions of chronic tiredness, asthma, chest pains, loss of energy or libido, and better understanding of negative patterns of behaviour, including addictions.
- Immune system is strengthened through increased oxygen from breathing more fully and freely. It is a scientific fact that 70% of the toxins in the body are released through breathing.
- Improved relationships in personal and working life.
- Dissolve fears, doubts and anxieties.
- Lowering blood pressure.
- Enhanced spiritual and intuitive awareness.
Physiologically, disease cannot survive in an oxygenated environment, so the immune system is strengthened by learning to breathe more deeply. The release of stress and 'youthing' are natural results of this powerful yet simple breathing technique.
