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.

Breathe deeply right now. How it feels to you is your gauge as to how you are able to do life in this moment. If the breath is full and open, so are you. If it’s contracted and shallow, that is how you are experiencing life right now. 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 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. The ideas or thoughts take on a life of their own and can be destructive.

What a person believes to be true for them will continue manifesting in that person’s life. It is the unconscious thoughts that are have the most impact on our patterns of behavior.

Everything that occurs in life is being manifested because it is what a person believes to be their truth. So good or bad, every person is creating from dynamic thought, simply the unconscious and conscious mind. Not meant as a cruel or painful trick, this gift of co-creation was actually meant to be the greatest gift ever to humans. We are just now learning to use the gift more wisely. The resurgence of the teachings of Emerson, Charles Haanel, Wallace Wattles, and others are a reminder to us that there have been teachers all along who understood the creative nature of our thoughts, and they 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. 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. Babies process the fear and apprehension of the parents not only at birth but in the womb. One session never fixes all but 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.

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