When stimulated through Breathwork, the mind and body enter into a deep state of calm which elicits an altered state of consciousness. Through this altered state we are able to access repressed emotions, memories and trauma from the past that are stored in the subconscious mind and bring them to the surface to be expressed and cleared out. People sometimes think that Rebirthing Breathwork is hyperventilation, but this isn’t the case. When you hyperventilate, you breathe very fast and end up exhaling more than you inhale. You do not do this in Breathwork.
I personally discovered Rebirthing over 30 years ago back in the early 1990's and committed to weekly sessions with some brilliant Rebirth Facilitators for many years. It was an incredibly transformational time in my life, and I have returned to this incredible healing modality in recent years as I truly believe it is one of the most powerful transformative and empowering tools, and a gift we can give ourselves in this erratic and sometimes confusing and challenging world.
If you have ever wondered "who am I?" or ever felt like "there's gotta be something more" or just simply felt "stuck" in life, know that you can facilitate your own healing with your own breath! As Leonard Orr (the founder of Rebirthing Breathwork in the western world) once said....
"as long as you can breath, you can heal... "
