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.
