The Breath of Life
The Breath is our lifeline to the Divine. It is the Inspiration, the Breath of Life. It is our first task upon merging through the womb and our final task as we leave the physical. It can be said that as a person breathes, so they do life. That is self explanatory but just in case it was not clear, if your breath is open and consciously engaged, you are fully alive; if however your breath is shallow and often stops, you are living a contracted and less than fulfilling life.
How are you breathing right now? Take a full and luscious breath right now. How do you feel? You either feel open, ready to let in life or it may have scared you to take a deep and connected breath. Only you can answer that but the simple act will always tell you volumes about your present state of BEING. If it hurts or feels difficult on any level ” you NEED TO BREATHE. Its that simple.
The breathing mechanism is the perfect gauge for our ability in any moment to truly live a full life. Most of the time it is an unconscious act. At any time it can give us a real check up.
Rebirthing breath is a spiritual awakening and a reconnection to our own core essence. The session itself may heal any manner of misperceptions a person has incorporated during a lifetime but more importantly it has the ability to shift the energetic clout of the aberrated thought. So, lets go through that again.
Thoughts that are not for our own good, like I will never be able to do that well, have an energetic power that keep them in our consciousness. The energetic nature of a thought is more powerful when the circumstance that set it in motion is suppressed or put out of the conscious mind. In other words the more painful the experience, when there is need to shove it out of consciousness to get on with life, an instance especially true of children when they are emotionally damaged.
Thoughts that have a lot of suppressed energy around them are thoughts that seem very real. They are not true but they feel very true, and they continue manifesting as a persons reality. They have been given energetic life.
Life is energy; you and I are energetic beings; everything that occurs in our lives is being manifested because it is what a person believes to be their truth. So good or bad, every person is creating with their thoughts, the unconscious and conscious mind. This co-creative potential was meant to be the greatest gift ever to humans.
As a person breathes during a connected breathing session, a professional rebirthing facilitator will make sure that something called a completed energy cycle happens. That one act allows for the release of contracted or stored energy, followed by a neutral state wherein the breather can make new and healthier resolutions about life.
If youre planning on having a baby and wish for a gentle and trauma free birth, your fist plan of action would be a ten week series of sessions for both mother and father. It will not be possible for the baby to be birth trauma free if everyone involved has not handled their own birth trauma first. The fear and apprehension of the parents is mostly what the child is processing, not only at birth but in the womb. One session never fixes all; just as one session of any modality will not ensure that a particular phobia or emotional block will not re-emerge. It is the beginning of a persons relationship with their ultimate life machine ” their Breath.
Ten sessions are recommended as the minimum for anyone to feel really comfortable about breathing on their own. It also gives time for the greater part of contracted energy to be released in the presence of someone who will be there with the breather, lend compassion, and help them process any unresolved residue
Rebirthing is a technique I learned in1988. It made such an impact on my ability to expand and see certain circumstances in my own life clearly, and reconstruct them. It was amazing and I wanted to give that same gift to others. I still use rebirthing breath with clients and self. I have my own unique processing at the end of each session, after the energy cycle has been accomplished, and design a concentrated program during the ten weeks that is unique for each client.
Rebirthing is definitely a spiritual experience. Much of the success of the session hinges on the progress and expectation of the facilitator, plus the willingness of the breather but I have seen lives changed with the process.
