Rebirthing Therapy consists of conscious and connected breathing exercises to heal your body from trauma. Created by Leonard Orr, he proposed that by fixing your breathing pattern you can cure diseases, release pain and let go of your childhood traumas. Basically it consists of breathing with no pause between inhalation and exhalation. This is the natural breathing rhythm of babies, animals and most young children. The idea is that with the power of your breath you integrate negative experiences without having to rationalize them as you would do in other therapies like counseling or psychoanalysis
Your body is speaking
Important experiences and events are stored in our bodies, particularly shocking ones where the brain triggered a body reaction such as fight or flight. For instance, you may get a stiff neck or an aching stomach if asked to speak in front of a crowd. May be in the past such an experience did not go very well or you fear the experience so much that your body is letting you know. When I have a lot of pressure at my job I experience shoulder pain because I am carrying too much. With a bad news many people feel sick and throw up, they can’t digest the news.
All those experiences are stored in your body in the form of sensations, which is the language of your body to let you know whats going on. You go around carrying those imprints in your bodies and you can get rid of this load and heal you body form past traumas with rebirthing therapy.
Rebirthing therapy. My experience
I came to know rebirthing some years ago. In my first rebirthing session, the rebirther taught me the different kind of traumas and basic fears humans suffer and how breathing can help in the healing process. I was asked to relax and just start breathing. I breathed for as long as I could following my rebirther’s guidance and rhythm.
It felt like running a marathon!.. It was exhausting!
I realized how disconnected from my own breath I was. During the day we breath inconsistently and unconsciously without even realize the power of this natural process. We take time to eat, to sleep but not time to breath. Although we need air in the same way we need food and sleep for living a better life.
Rebirthing Therapy needs some sessions
In the next sessions I managed to breath for longer periods. Suddenly my hands felt paralyzed, twisted and hard. I kept feeling that awful pain for the next 6 to 8 sessions. My rebirther explained to me that stiffness is the way fear is stored in the body. Under stress your body becomes stiff. Fears manifest themselves with different sensations and in different parts of your body but generally associated with stiffness. The idea is then to observe these sensations as they appear without judging or rationalizing. You just breath and prana or chi will do the work. It is like putting a healing balm on a wound, let the balm do the work.
Over the next sessions I got rid of the stiffness but now my mouth was paralyzed as if covered by a plastic wrap and unable to speak. The experience reminded me the matrix scene when Agent Smith asks Neo «What good is a phone call if you are unable to speak?» Neo looks cautiously around before reaching to his mouth. Neo’s lips have disappeared and his mouth has fused shut. Well, that happened to me!
It was another kind of trauma showing up. This time it was a trauma related to communication stored when you have decided, consciously or unconsciously, not to speak for yourself. The intense sensation was not just weird but painful and it kept appearing until it disappeared.
The Bliss
Sessions passed by and the pain and ugly sensations became milder to finally leave me. My hands were not stiff anymore and I recovered my mouth. Once you have healed traumas, the best is to come.
One day, after a long session of good breathing I felt the so-called bliss!. Words are not enough to describe it. It is state of love full of joy, peace and understanding that comes from high levels of prana in your body and mind. You feel your whole body vibrating in immense gratitude, it is like your body, your soul are reconnecting to the Source. It is like a major detox of your soul, fears and traumas. Magnificent!
Final thoughts
Rebirthing Therapy taught me that we carry our fears as backpacks, producing out of the blue painful sensations and reaction. With time this extra weight becomes to much load for your body and transmutes into chronic pain, fatigues, depression or disease.
It is important that you face your fears and ind a way to work on them. For example you can learn to practice conscious breathing. Try to complement it with other ways of detoxing your body to not only prevent fears, traumas but also toxins from stacking up and become disease.
Free yourself from any toxicity in the form of fears, believes, persons, traumas and toxins. Learn about a great detox technique (probably the best you can find in alternative medicine) in the link below.
