Rebirthing

          Rebirthing involves a series of 'breathing sessions', normally at about weekly intervals, and an increased attention to the quality of your thoughts. The breathing we use is an easy, deep, connected rhythm up into the chest, relaxing the exhale. A qualified rebirther provides the experience, love and safety which nurture the process. After a series of sessions with a rebirther - usually about a dozen - most people continue the process by themselves as a regular form of relaxation and purification, and as a way of empowering and enhancing their lives.

          A breathing cycle lasts approximately one hour. The breathing has the effect of building up the energy in your body in much the same way as if you were doing some physical exercise. Since in this case you are just lying down and relaxing, so not burning it up as soon as you generate it, the energy is free to work for you in another way. This it does by bringing to your attention places in your body where you are 'holding on' - whether to some physical symptom or to an emotional feeling - and helping you gradually to let that go. All you do is keep breathing in this deep relaxed rhythm and 'watch' the breath do its work. You may well experience some interesting sensations in your body, and by the end of the session you will probably notice that any tension that you had before has just slipped away.

          This is the point where the thoughts come in: since most physical or emotional tension seems to have some thought pattern behind it - be it fear, sadness, anxiety, frustration, whatever - it is important to begin to take on new, life expanding thoughts to replace the old ones which are liberated by the breathing. These new thoughts sometimes surface by themselves, from that hidden place inside you that actually knows that you are better and stronger than you normally allow yourself to believe, and sometimes they are offered by an intuitive rebirther. In either case the healing is completed by the practice of regularly reminding yourself of your life-affirming thoughts until they begin to replace the old limiting ones in your consciousness and your experience.

          This is the beginning of mastery: noticing that your experience of life derives from your thoughts about life, and that you can change those thoughts. The power of the breathing is that it enables you to let go of the old thoughts which limited you and to take on in their place new ones which empower you.
