Yoga and Meditation

We can go without food, water, sleep and exercise a great deal longer than we can go without a breath. The Breath is our lifeline to the Divine. It can be said that as a person breathes, so they do life. That is self explanatory but just in case it wasnt 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.

Breathing seems so ordinary that most people are not conscious of the delicious nature of the Breath; in fact, many people today are simply not conscious; and, the breathing mechanism is the perfect gauge for our ability in any moment to truly live a full life.

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 there. The more traumatic an experience that sets a thought in motion, the more suppressed the thought becomes over many years, the more powerful the negative thought is. This is evident when children are emotionally damaged very early in life; the person grows resolved that certain negative ideas about them are true.

Whether a thought is true or not makes no difference. If it feels true to a person, they act on it as if it is true. It is true for them. As thoughts become painful, make life seem less enjoyable it may even promote a spontaneous breathing cycle.

You and I are energetic Beings. We are creating energetically what we believe to be true for us. So good or bad, every person is creating out of nothing, simply the unconscious and conscious mind. That may sound like a cruel or painful trick but it was actually meant to be the greatest gift ever to humans. The resurgence of the teachings of Emerson, Charles Haanel, Wallace Wattles, and more are a reminder to us that there have been teachers all along who got it and wanted to share their understanding with others.

As a person breathes during a connected breathing session, a professional rebirthing facilitator will make sure that something called a completed energy cycle happens. With this cycle of energy a certain amount of stored or blocked enrgy can be released. The thoughts attached are relinquished as they are exposed as untrue and no longer useful. This cycle is 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 of any method will not ensure 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 en sessions are recommended as the minimum for anyone to feel really comfortable about breathing on their own.

Rebirthing is a technique I learned in 1988. 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. In 1989 I was trained by Stephanie Dravis to become a rebirthing facilitator. From 1990-1996 I had opportunity to work with Leonard Orr the founder of the Rebirthing Movement. 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 ” twelve weeks unique for each client.

Depending on the progress of the facilitator and the willingness of the breather, I definitely see it changes lives for the better. With constructive direction after the fact people have opportunity to literally start fresh.
