So, about the actual practice of rebirthing. Lessons for beginners are individual. It usually takes 12-16 sessions to bring a practitioner to a level where he can work independently. However, it all depends on a lot of parameters. There are times when a person needs a much larger number of lessons. This usually happens if the practitioner, by virtue of his individual features, can not withstand intensive practice. Then you have to switch to a softer mode. The opposite is also true, there are people who are able to reach the level of independent work in 7-8 lessons.
The duration of the breath itself is from forty-five minutes to an hour. Although most beginners breathe less. Before rebirthing, a little meditation is desirable, to move into a more calm state, after rebirthing, half an hour of relaxation is absolutely necessary (the same applies to holotropic breathing and Vivation). AT classic version The music only comes on when you relax. However, it happens that rhythmic sounds help the practitioner breathe. Then it makes sense to use music. When practicing to a soundtrack with breathing desired rhythm, there is a risk that the student will not be able to breathe on their own afterwards without given rhythm. Therefore, when working with beginners who do not have experience of independent breathing, it is better not to use such phonograms.
Rebirthing sessions should take place at least once a week. This makes it possible not to lose the accumulated level and move forward. More frequent sessions are more effective. This is true for beginner classes with an instructor, and for further independent practice. For those who are already practicing on their own, the seminars on rebirthing and holotropic breathing, which take place several days in a row, are useful. Such intensive work plus a single group field, greatly increases the effectiveness of further individual practice. At independent work a variant of breathing of a shorter duration of 15-20 minutes is possible, but daily. This mode is equivalent to breathing once a week for an hour. Naturally, the more a person practices, the more results he achieves.
Basic principles of rebirthing
1. Breathing is done only through the mouth.
2. Breathing is rhythmic.
3. Intense inhalation, relaxed exhalation.
4. Breathing is cyclical and continuous. Inhalation turns into exhalation, exhalation into inhalation without a pause.
5. Breath top chest.
6. Attention is focused only on the correctness of breathing and sensations in the body. Spontaneously arising, thoughts and images come and go, you should not fixate on them. They don't matter.
7. During the entire session and the relaxation period, the eyes are closed. open eyes lead to energy losses and inhibit the accumulation of energy.
8. In the process of breathing, keep still. When relaxing after class, immobility is not required.
9. With uncomfortable sensations in the body: pain, numbness, etc. you can use any images of this nature that the breather likes: the negative is exhaled from the place of discomfort, and it is filled clean energy. This speeds up the process of removing stress, if creating and holding such an image does not cause tension and does not disturb the correctness of breathing. In cases where it is difficult for the breather, it is better to simply track physiological sensations. After all, where attention is, there is energy.
10. The more relaxed the practitioner, the more effective and easier his practice.
11. If during breathing there is a need to quickly get out of it, you can switch to a very superficial, and very frequent, so-called "dog breathing". Duration - from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. This in no way replaces relaxation, but only helps to stop the processes taking place in the body, in case of unexpected force majeure circumstances. By the way, such breathing makes the breather almost insensible to physical pain for a short time.
12. Before relaxing after breathing, it is advisable to do several deep and slow breaths exhale through the nose.
13. After the lesson, relaxation is mandatory for at least half an hour ..
Due to the many questions I get asked about chakras, affirmations, previous incarnations, etc., I think it's time for some commentary.
During rebirthing, blocks are released on the physiological and energy level. At the same time, the brain gives out pictures, thoughts, sensations similar to the outgoing blocks, exactly similar, not identical. If, for example, a turkey frightened you at the age of one, then, when you exit given stress you may, for example, experience a sense of danger, insecurity, suddenly think that you might be fired, or “remember” that in a previous incarnation you were the leader of a tribe and a saber-toothed tiger attacked you. All this is nothing more than glitches that accompany the release of the negative. Taking them seriously is not only ridiculous, but also energy-consuming. No, if there is a goal to watch “cartoons” and feel like a clairvoyant, then of course you can proudly tell everyone you know about the saber-toothed tiger, and then apply for resignation, anticipating the predicted dismissal. But if the task is set: to clear your structure of garbage with the help of the practice of rebirthing, then it is hardly reasonable to perceive this garbage as God's revelations, even if the Virgin Mary, Carlos Castaneda, and a group of aliens from Alpha Centauri who want to give to their brothers in mind appear in your visions all accumulated knowledge. In many Eastern schools the student was beaten with a stick as soon as he began to carry something about the pictures he had seen, so that he would stop wasting energy on stupid things and not hang in a buggy space.
Memories of one's own birth and clairvoyance. In articles about rebirthing, the topic of memories of one's own birth is very popular. In reality, such memories can emerge to the level of consciousness, but this happens extremely rarely and no practical value has no more than side effect practices. Although, almost everyone goes through the physiological sensations experienced during their own birth. Cases of real vision and foresight were also recorded during rebirthing. This is also a side effect of practice, which is not common. Such a vision arises spontaneously and, as a rule, soon disappears, without any negative consequences, unless, of course, one tries to consciously call it up. I wouldn't recommend this kind of thing to anyone. They block natural process withdrawal of stresses, and contribute to the development of new ones, since they introduce significant stress into the practice, the basis of which is relaxation. In the event that the newly minted clairvoyant is “lucky” and he again achieves manifestations of this “magic ability”, his energy losses will exceed all possible expectations.
Xu Ming Tang once told a seminar about how his third eye opened. For two days he rejoiced and admired parallel realities, and then practiced for two years to restore the energy lost during these two days. As a result, he, of course, realized that the properties of the third eye are very different from those of the TV.
Thus, clairvoyance is one of the most effective ways in as soon as possible lose all your work. In general: “Everything that is acquired by overwork ...”
Chakras. There are very interesting techniques focused on breathing through a specific chakra. Sometimes the sounds of the chakras are used. About them in the next chapter. Calling up while breathing images of a thousand petal lotuses and Shiva-lingams, entwined with three and a half turns of a snake, are as "useful" as the Virgin Mary, coupled with the Tau-Kitians.
Naturally, this does not apply to tantric techniques, in which the visualization of the form of the yantra of a given chakra is a basic element of meditation. However, such techniques are not directly related to rebirthing. And, usually, in order to practice them, direct initiation is required, made by the bearer of the tradition.
Affirmations. After resting after class, you can no doubt sit down and say to yourself one hundred and fifty-three times: “I am rich. I am trained. I am smart and lucky. Everyone loves me." True, it always seemed to me that this was noodles on my own ears, but they say it helps some. If it helps, why not. The main thing is not to try to add this to rebirthing or other practices. The cocktail can be poisonous. During classes, such texts are nothing more than an additional mental trash, and their pronunciation requires a certain tension, distracts the practitioner's attention and, therefore, interferes with the normal course of current processes.
Based on the foregoing, the journey of the rebirthing group through other incarnations, parallel worlds etc. remain on the conscience of the instructor doing this with his students. But, everyone has their own karmic developments!
Nose breathing. Breathing through the nose during rebirthing is possible, but much less effective. It is used extremely rarely, in cases where the student, due to some kind of disease, in principle cannot breathe through his mouth.
Breathing in water. Breathing in water is a kind of rebirthing. The practice is very effective, due to the introduction of sensation aquatic environment. Fifteen minutes of breathing in water is equivalent to about an hour of breathing on land. Not produced independently. A person in an altered state of consciousness can drown even in the bathroom, regardless of their previous rebirthing experience. At a minimum, an observer is needed who is physically strong enough to be able, if necessary, to lift the upper part of the body of the breather above the water and hold it in this position. Very important, as well as the measure of responsibility of the observer. If, during the lesson, he starts reading the magazine “ Funny pictures” or admire nature, this can end very badly for the breather.
There is great amount modifications of respiration in water. The simplest option: the face of the breather is above the water, the body is in the water. It is ideal to produce it at sea. Chemical composition not polluted sea water similar to the composition of human lymph and blood, which enhances the effect. But, you can breathe and plunge into the waters of a river, lake or, for lack of those at hand, a bath or pool. In the case of an open body of water or a large pool, it is not bad if the observer or observers keep the body of the breather afloat. Of course, in an ordinary bathroom, there are no options other than to lie on its bottom.
The duration of breathing for someone who breathes in water for the first time is 10-20 minutes. Even if he has been rebirthing for a long time, surprises are possible with water rebirthing. In the classic version, it is desirable that the water temperature be close to body temperature. In a natural reservoir, observe temperature regime is, of course, impossible. It is simply desirable to conduct classes in warm weather and water.
There are options for breathing in very cold or very hot water. Both of them are risky and, therefore, suitable only for those who are physically able to endure it. In both cases, there is a strong load on the heart and blood vessels. At cold water the duration of breathing should be very short 5-10 minutes, depending on the temperature of the water and the health of the breather.
Water rebirthing is also practiced by breathing through a tube, and immersed in water with your head. A variety of extreme techniques - a lot. They certainly have a right to exist. But, the percentage of those who are able to use them is small, and those who understand why they need it are even less. Therefore, it hardly makes sense to delve into this topic.
Rebirthing was developed in the early 70s of the XX century by Leonardo Orr and is a self-help method, restoring natural connection between the field life form and the physical body. This connection, according to the author, is broken when a person does something wrong, or under duress. People experience discomfort emotional sensation in the body, but consciously continue the work begun, suppressing these emotions. As a result of suppression discomfort deposited in the body chronic stress causing some kind of physical ailment. This is how Jim Leonard and Phil Lauth describe it in their book Rebirthing.
“One model for describing repression uses the relationship between the physical body and the 'spiritual body'. The "spiritual body" in this model is the "body" you have while you sleep. It includes your mind, your sense of identity or self, and all of your conscious awareness. During sleep, you do not feel your physical body, because at this time your spiritual body is not in physical body. When you wake up, you feel your physical body exactly to the extent in which spiritual body is in contact with it. Suppression, from this point of view, means the long-term removal of the spiritual body from the sphere of the physical body ... "
In this model, your spiritual body is what gives life and organization to a group of molecules and coordinates them. joint work in an elaborate form that we call the "physical body". Withdrawal of the spiritual body from the physical body due to suppression leads to blockage of the vital, organizing energy in this part of the physical body. Molecules become less organized, conditions are created that are known as "aging", "disease". Areas of blocked energy inevitably affect other parts of the body in such a way that a person begins to act incorrectly. This then leads to more suppression, more energy blocking, etc.
In other words, this is the same "mental and emotional garbage" that causes "shells" and distortions in the field life form, which must be disposed of.
To get rid of “mental garbage”, the authors of rebirthing applied several mutually reinforcing principles based on the features of the functioning human body. In turn, the author, while mastering classical rebirthing and explaining its mechanisms of action for himself, came across a mass of undescribed healing mechanisms of the impact of rebirthing on the physical body. In addition, having knowledge of biorhythmology and knowledge of the mechanisms of the effect of rebirthing on the physical body, it became clear to me how to combine all this together for the treatment of diseases associated with acupuncture channels. Based on this, I decided to supplement the classic rebirthing scheme with my own developments to increase efficiency. Thus, the following material is a combination of classical rebirthing with my biorhythmological recommendations and a description of the mechanism of influence on the physical body. If you wish, you can use the classic rebirthing technique described below, or my modernized one, which I called breath of happiness.
The first principle is ecstasy. The essence of this principle is that every person constantly is in a state of ecstasy, no matter what he feels. (Remember the excerpt from the Katha Upanishad: "The root cause Atman, Purusha, which created man, constantly enjoys his creation, no matter what a person feels - good or bad.") But the body and mind divide all sensations into useful, pleasant and harmful, unpleasant. Harmful and unpleasant sensations cause "garbage" in the field life form - suppression.
Positive emotions (ecstasy is the strongest of them) affect the hypothalamus (after all, it is associated with the formation of emotions), in which the structures regulating the functions of all levels of the autonomic, nervous system. Recall that the autonomic nervous system provides regulation of: endocrine glands - thyroid, pancreas, genital, adrenal glands, etc.; functions internal organs- heart, liver, kidneys, etc.; blood vessels, mucous membranes, muscles, etc. This is the healing effect of ecstasy on the physical body.
The second principle is integration. The essence of this principle is to transform suppression into glorification. In order to do this, you need to remember what was done wrong before and caused you an unpleasant feeling and this feeling, to experience it in a new way - not negatively as before, but positively, rejoicing and glorifying it. In other words, you must relive the negative, admiring and idolizing it. In order to put this into practice, there are several methods.
Be grateful. Each person feels a sense of gratitude for existence, for being here, for the opportunity to feel everything. But most people are limited in their sense of gratitude and recognize gratitude for only a few things. But really, all you have is this moment. So be grateful for every detail of it!
Adequate comparison. If you compare a paper cup with a beautiful crystal glass, it will seem like garbage to you. But if you compare it with itself, then it will turn out to be a normal means to pour water into it. If your hands cramp and you compare it with the usual feeling in your hands, then the cramp will be a painful and unpleasant thing. But if the spasm is compared with itself, then it will seem like a sweet sensation of energy in the hands. The same can be said about pain. Do not compare it with yourself, but enjoy the feeling of an intense manifestation of energy.
Recognition of benefit. Being aware of what happens to you during a rebirthing session evokes a feeling of gratitude.
Amazement. The sensations that arise in your body should arouse your interest and charm with energy overflows. In some cases, this is quite enough for integration.
Love for everything and delight for everyone. Love every moment of your life. If you love everything that exists just because it exists, then you will integrate everything. Get excited about every little thing and you'll quickly integrate. To drive something away means to stop integration.
As a result of integration, you will be freed from suppression and cleared of "garbage", which means you will become healthier and more energetic. The glorification of life in all cases causes a rise in the tone of the physical body, and laughter is a sign of successful integration.
The third principle is circulatory respiration. This breathing is used in rebirthing to provide access to "shells" and distortions in the field form of a person's life. This breath refers to any type of breath that meets the following criteria:
1) inhalation and exhalation are interconnected so that there is no pause in breathing;
2) exhalation is spontaneous, without tension, naturally following the inhalation;
3) inhalation and exhalation must be done through the nose. In some cases, breathing through the mouth is allowed.
As a result of circulatory breathing, energy is pumped into the field form of life and its circulation is increased. A person breathing in this way feels the flow of energy, feels where it is blocked (pain, bursting) by a "shell" or distortion. The feeling of being blocked is usually associated with some sort of unpleasant experience, a repression that you have to integrate into the joy. If you do this, you will release the blockage in the field lifeform and "descend" to a deeper level. This is how, layer by layer, you will purify and revitalize the field life form.
With this method of breathing - active inhalation, passive exhalation - the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is activated, which: metabolic processes in the body; increases the content of red blood cells, sugar and hormones in the blood; stops development inflammatory processes and allergic reactions (adrenal corticoids have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect); raises arterial pressure; dilates the bronchi. In other words, similar way breathing activates the body for self-healing and strengthening.
During long cyclic exercises, and circulatory breathing belongs to them (remove the motor component in running, and you will be left with one circulatory breath), due to the constant volitional effort to maintain the proper intensity of the above breathing in the human body, the production of natural opiates- endorphins. Doing more and more more, they themselves cause and maintain a state of ecstasy and euphoria.
Endorphins causing sthenic emotions, additionally activate the sympathetic department of the autonomic nervous system, exciting defensive forces body and provide it with energy.
Exist different kinds circulatory breathing, which differently change the intensity and form of the flow of energy circulating in the field life form. This, in turn, leads to the activation of certain suppressions (“garbage”). Therefore, different types of circulatory breathing bring specific effects. Breathing can be changed according to the following parameters: increase or decrease the volume of inhalation, vary the speed of inhalation, inhale air into the lower, middle or upper part of the lungs, breathe through the nose or mouth (breathing through the mouth is ineffective due to the low absorption of prana, which is absorbed in the nasal channels - Ida and Pingala).
In practice, three types of circulatory breathing are mainly used. Full and slow- a larger volume of air makes it possible to better identify and understand the blockage, and slow pace makes it easier to focus on it for integration. fast and superficial breathing is best if the exit of "garbage" is intense. Shallow breathing makes exit easier, and speed speeds up integration. When using this kind of breathing, it is important to concentrate on the features of the "garbage" coming out. fast and full breath is best if the "garbage" that comes out puts you into a state of sleepiness (that is, separates the field life form from the physical body). A large volume of air helps to keep the field life form in the physical body, the speed enhances integration. Normal breathing rhythms imply that the above types of breathing may vary depending on the situation, the exit of "garbage", etc. In the same way, the filling of the lungs can change - upper or lower parts. If you feel the exit of "garbage" from the head or upper body area, then breathing with the tops of the lungs will facilitate the process; if the exit starts in the legs or lower body, then breathe in the belly. It is important to note the following: proper circulatory breathing does not cause hyperventilation and does not flush out carbon dioxide from the body. It "pumps" you with energy. Arms, legs, the whole body begin to "buzz". This is an important sign that you are breathing correctly.
Tetany - this is a contraction (twitching) of the muscles during the release of "garbage" from the body. During rebirthing, this most often occurs in the arms and muscles of the face (especially the mouth), as well as in other parts of the body where there was an energy block. In order to reduce tetany or avoid it altogether, it is necessary not to focus on it, but, on the contrary, to relax and integrate the unpleasant sensation into ecstasy.
"Releasing the Breath" Normal circulatory breathing activates "mental garbage" that pops up in the ordinary consciousness in the form of an unpleasant feeling. And we suppress unpleasant feelings - this is our protection. But this defense in rebirthing is to reduce the flow of energy that washes away this “garbage”, which leads to breath holding. As a result, such suppression creates various combinations of breath holding: blockage of the sinuses, constriction, tension, bronchospasm, and much more. To overcome this, a person needs to consciously continue circulatory breathing, and integrate the unpleasant feeling into ecstasy. When you achieve this integration, your breathing will immediately become freer. This is called "freeing the breath."
The fourth principle is complete relaxation of the body. The main purpose of completely relaxing the body is to remind you that breathing increases the flow of energy in the body, and you can either relax into it and let it heal you, or become constrained, which will cause even more tension. Relaxation of the body during rebirthing occurs by itself due to the fact that you get tired of maintaining the rhythm of breathing (fatigue of the brain structures responsible for maintaining breathing causes diffuse inhibition in the cerebral cortex, which leads to relaxation and immersion in a kind of hypnotic state). But active inhalation, by stimulating the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, allows you to constantly maintain a high concentration of attention, which is especially important for complete muscle relaxation and focus on emerging emotions, sensations for better integration.
When the body is relaxed, the constrained areas become more conscious. Remember, the area of the body that doesn't "want" to relax is filled with repressed energy. AT complete relaxation it is much easier to feel the flow of energy in the field life form. Right at the very moment of integration, relaxation helps in that the energy formed by suppression is released and, not restrained muscle tension, freely leaves the body.
Body position. Rebirthing practitioners are advised to take a supine position, do not cross their legs, palms up. But we must remember that the field form of life, representing a spatial formation in which energy circulates, will be better "washed out" of individual sections"emotional garbage" and other suppressions, when its form changes, and energy flow increases due to this. For example, when people integrate strong fear or sadness, it is better for them to curl up.
It is important to know the following: after taking a comfortable position, do not move or scratch yourself during the rebirthing session. Instead of moving or scratching, you have the opportunity to experience the feeling desires do it. This is one of better ways quickly activate the energy of suppression and integrate it easily.
The fifth principle is concentration of attention. During a rebirthing session, you need to focus on the sensations that come to your attention from the body. Suppression (“emotional garbage”), when opened, can cause any sensations. It can be localized pain, tickling, a cat howling in the street, a memory of something, etc. Therefore, pay attention to any sensation that arises in this moment.
So, when you have any sensations, you focus your attention on them and explore every detail that you feel. And then you begin to integrate it into ecstasy and glorification.
A hypnotic state arising from the fatigue of the center supporting required level circulatory breathing, allows you to better "grasp" all the details of activated suppressions. And the constant activation of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, again by circulatory breathing, allows you to constantly maintain a high concentration of attention to completely relax the muscles and focus on emerging emotions, sensations and better integrate them.
As already mentioned, suppressions are arranged in "layers". Each layer of suppression is formed in certain time of your life. So when a repressed layer of energy integrates, it will usually activate another repressed layer that lies underneath. As a result, you can move from one sensation to another, because the layers of suppression are formed from various trapped emotions and sensations.
Understand the main thing - every time during a rebirthing session something starts to “distract attention”, this means that there is a suppressed energy that draws your attention to yourself with the requirement to concentrate on it and feeling it in every detail at the moment.
Some people are so depressed that they just can't feel. They experience themselves as thoughts floating through space towards the body. The simplest test for identifying such a person is the question: “If you are angry, how do you know about your feeling?” If a person responds with a five-minute speech, which thoughts he calls anger, this is a depressed person. An angry person experiences certain sensations in various parts body. Therefore, wet types of rebirthing are more suitable for depressed people. For example, rebirthing in warm water.
The sixth principle full confidence in the rebirthing process. Doubt is the same suppression that leads to the formation of “mental garbage”. If you doubt rebirthing, then you will not succeed. All previous theoretical part is designed to dispel your doubts, to inspire faith in success, in a powerful and unconditional recovery. Operate with unshakable faith in success, fully trust the process of self-healing using the above natural mechanisms, and you will succeed. Remember, rebirthing only works effectively when it is pleasant and you completely trust it.
Rebirthing methodology1. Set yourself up to admire everything you feel.
2. You will perceive all sensations as beautiful, internally glorifying them.
3. Take a relaxed comfortable position, best lying down.
4. Begin to perform circulatory breathing easily, simply and self-regulating. It pleases you.
5. Everything that pops up in your mind, that you feel and feel in the physical body, is bliss for you. You bathe in a boundless ocean of varied bliss, feeling and experiencing it in great detail.
7. End the rebirthing session only after enough suppressions have been activated, come to the surface, and been integrated. As a result, you feel great, internally cleaner and lighter.
Practical advice. To learn rebirthing yourself, start practicing it for 5 minutes. Then bring gradually up to 30 minutes. And only after you feel that everything is working out well for you, spend more time, fulfilling the conditions of paragraph 7. In the future, you can independently master other types of rebirthing (in warm and cold water, etc.) in order to activate deep suppressions that arose in early childhood and even in intrauterine life.
In view of the fact that each person has “emotional garbage” and other suppressions, there is an incredibly a large number of. "Slag capacity" field uniform life is huge, it is many times larger than that of the physical body, but it also has a limit. The process of purification of the field form of life stretches for several years (if you regularly practice rebirthing sessions every other day for 1-2 hours, then a year or even less is enough). But the beneficial effect of the above healing mechanisms on the physical body affects much faster. You will see for yourself that every properly conducted rebirthing session makes you healthier and life better. In addition, this breathing allows you to saturate the body with energy and relax.
We all know that a person after his birth must learn to walk, talk, write, read. Does he need to learn to breathe? Surely not everyone thought about this question. Many people never even thought to pay attention to how their lungs fill with air and how it leaves them, as well as which muscles of the body are involved in this, and what emotions arise.
The process of breathing occurs unconsciously, automatically. However, about ten million people on our planet devote two hours of their free time every day to listen to the body.
Popular breathing technique
Almost recently, humanity has found the golden key to their health. For those who often feel tired and overwhelmed, it is recommended to use rebirthing. What it is? This is a technique for quickly getting rid of fallen on a person negative emotions, allowing you to quickly replenish the strength of the body.
The issues of proper breathing have been covered for a long time. This topic has been raised by many religions and teachings. It has always been believed that a person has two levels of breathing. One of them is air, which is composed of oxygen and other chemical components. The second level refers to energy that has an all-pervading life force.
The same idea is followed by the technique of rebirthing. The essence of this technique is to restore the natural rhythm of breathing during correct staging inhale and exhale.
Impact of negative energy
We all know the feeling of fear, anger and stress. Whenever these negative emotions overwhelm us, we invariably hold our breath. This leads to a violation of its rhythm. The process of breathing is also reflected in the birth trauma received at the birth of a person, as well as family education, forcing small child be subordinate.
Considering this issue more deeply, it is necessary to touch on subtle matters. After all, any shock or even a minor injury that a person had to endure during his life will certainly leave an indelible mark on the flow of energy that feeds the body along with breathing. As a result, the energy becomes negative. It begins to negatively affect our psyche, body and emotional condition. Simply put, a person acquires a whole bunch of physical and psychological diseases.
This is where rebirthing can come in handy. What it is? This is a method of restoring full breathing, which allows you to renew the soul and body, as well as to make all systems of the human body work normally.
Discovery history
The rebirthing breathing technique was proposed in the 60s of the last century by the American Leonard Orr. Moreover, he made his discovery quite by accident. Leonard was forbidden any excitement. When it occurred, the man's throat constricted, and he began to choke. A similar disease was caused by birth trauma. When he was born, Leonard's throat was wrapped several times with the umbilical cord, which did not allow the baby to breathe. Then the doctors saved him. However, the trauma received at birth left an indelible mark on the psyche.
One day Leonard decided to take a bath. He got into the water. However, she was too hot. Leonard burned himself and began to choke from fright before he even got out of the bathroom. In order not to die, the man forced himself to inhale the air intensely. And a miracle happened. Deep breathing allowed Leonard to emotionally relive the moment of birth trauma, which freed him from the disease that arose in infancy. Thus, rebirthing was opened. What it is? This is a breathing technique, the name of which, translated from English, means “rebirth”.
Conducting classes
How to ensure that the most effective way to use the rebirthing technique? Reviews of experts suggest that it is not necessary to take a bath to perform this technique. And although Leonard always preferred to spend at least two hours a day in the water, completely immersed in it and breathing through a special tube, such training will be effective on a regular sofa. To do this, you just need to get comfortable on it and relax as much as possible. Breathing is not just about deep breathing.
This must be done consciously. When conducting rebirthing on your own, it is important not to make any pauses between inhalation and exhalation and to follow the basic principles of this technique. Let's consider them in more detail.
Ecstasy
If rebirthing is performed independently at home, then this principle will be especially important for a person. Its essence lies in the fact that each of us, no matter what he feels at a given moment in time, is certainly in ecstasy. The mind and body of a person divide the existing emotions into useful (pleasant) and harmful (unpleasant). Positive impressions affect the hypothalamus. It is he who regulates the work of the nervous system, which has a direct effect on the human body.
Integration
This is the second principle of rebirthing. It lies in transformation, suppression and glorification. To do this, you need to remember what was done earlier incorrectly and provoked an unpleasant sensation. Such a feeling must be re-experienced, but done positively, in a new way, and then glorified it.
Mutual breathing
This is the third principle that rebirthing uses. What it is? Mutual refers to breathing, which is used to remove distortions in the aura. In this case, certain conditions must be met. They relate to inhalation and exhalation, which are so closely interconnected that there are no pauses in the process of breathing. Exhalation must be spontaneous. The person should not be stressed. Both inhalation and exhalation must be done through the nose.
Only in the most exceptional cases breathing is allowed through the mouth. As a result of the actions taken, energy is pumped into the aura. Mutual breathing allows the activation of mental debris that floats in everyday consciousness and turns into a form. unpleasant feelings which we tend to suppress. This is our defense against negativity.
Body relaxation
This is the fourth principle of the methodology. The need for complete relaxation of the body this way breathing explains that in the constrained areas contains negative (overwhelming) energy. How to do rebirthing on your own? In order not to violate his fourth principle, it is necessary to lie on your back and stretch your arms along the body. The legs should also be straight. Under the knees and head you will need to put soft rollers. No body parts should be crossed. In the process of relaxation, unpleasant sensations in the form of tingling or scratching in the body may occur. Do not give in to emotions and start moving. Such sensations are nothing more than a manifestation negative energy, which needs to be integrated.
Concentration of attention
This principle is also important to keep in mind for those who are rebirthing at home. During training, you need to focus on own feelings. The emotional garbage in the head, after its “opening”, can cause a storm of strong sensations. Sometimes it localizes pain, various memories arise, etc. That is why it is necessary to pay attention to any sensations at the time of applying the technique.
As a rule, the suppression of negative psychological state applied in certain layers. Each of them occurs at one time or another in a person's life. And if you find the cause and remind yourself of the time of occurrence of a chronic disease, then it becomes possible to reverse the disease.
Complete confidence in the methodology
This is the last, sixth principle of rebirthing. If a person has even a slight doubt, then this will certainly lead to the appearance of the so-called mental garbage. In this case, there will be no benefit from rebirthing.
There is no need to consciously control or manage anything. Rebirthing should go spontaneously, which will be most useful for those who apply this technique.
Type of breath
Anyone can learn rebirthing on their own. Reviews of those who have already done this say that after 5-10 sessions they became most sensitive to the world around them, which led to a rethinking of their whole life.
What types of breathing exist in rebirthing? There are only four of them. And the intensity, depth and speed of psychological processes in the subconscious depend on what type of breathing is used at the moment.
1. Slow and deep breathing. It is used for a gentle introduction to the rebirthing process itself. Sometimes, instead of soft breathing, deep stretched is used. This allows the body to relax. In our Everyday life this type of breathing is recommended to be used at the very beginning of any negative state. This will neutralize unpleasant feelings.
2. Frequent and deep breathing. What does it represent? Such breathing is almost twice as deep and more frequent than usual. It is considered the main one in the technique of rebirthing. This type of breathing allows you to reach the level of the unconscious. Exhalation should be relaxed and not subject to control. When inhaling through the mouth, exhalation should be done in the same way. Do not force or hold your breath. Otherwise, there is a contraction, as well as muscle tension in the legs, arms and face. And this, in turn, finds expression in internal resistance and the appearance of fear. A person must constantly remember that he does not need to control anything.
3. Shallow and rapid breathing. It is similar to the "dog" and allows you to crush and split into pieces all the existing experiences. Rebirthing uses this type of breathing to relax the body and quickly overcome all painful and unpleasant sensations. Frequent inhalations and exhalations are recommended in extreme situations. This will allow you to quickly get out of a state where emotions are brought to the limit.
4. Slow shallow breathing. It is used to exit rebirthing. Do not force things and rush to finish the process in advance. This must be done carefully and slowly.
Conducting classes
How to correctly apply the method of rebirthing (holotropic breathing)? To do this, lie down and relax. After that, it is important to shift all your attention to the breath. In a single rhythm with a person, his whole body should breathe. In this case, you will need to remove all the pauses that exist between inhalation and exhalation.
It is necessary to imagine that the air in the body moves in a circle. So, after inhaling through the nose, it descends into the lungs. After that, the air passes into the stomach, and then goes around the genitals. Then it rises along the spine and exits into the surrounding space through the crown of the head.
Inhalation during rebirthing should be conscious. In this case, it is necessary to mentally control the process of filling the lungs with air. Exhalation should be inert and flow without any human participation. And for this, after inhalation, the air must be released. This will allow him to go outside on his own.
After the necessary parameters of the inhalation and exhalation process are finally set, then everything should happen by itself.
When using all types of breathing, maximum result which finds its expression in pleasure and psychological relief. In the rebirthing technique, it is believed that with a more relaxed exhalation, the process is much more efficient. And this can be achieved with a sharper breath. Also, the rebirthing technique is recommended to include the chest in the breathing process. It is believed that a lot of emotions "settle" in her muscles.

Breath rebirthing , from the history of creation
In 1962, Leonard Orr, after being in hot water for a long time, experienced a condition that he recognized as a reliving of his birth. And this was the reason for a significant improvement in his psycho-emotional state. Orr began to experiment with himself on the basis of this experience, using a special method of breathing, which he called rebirthing, and realized that his birth was for him a deep mental trauma that is present in the mind and is the root of his suffering.
Re-experiencing a person's birth can have a powerful healing effect and thus allow them to become happier. He returned again and again to different aspects of his birth, reliving them again, gradually freeing himself from the feelings that tormented him in life.
Initially, Leonard Orr believed that Rebirthing was due to warm water reproducing the environment in which the baby was before birth. And in 1974, in San Francisco, he gathered a group of like-minded people who settled in common house, called THETA - House, where they conducted unusual experiments with breathing and hot water. In the course of the experiments, Orr suggested that breathing by itself, without hot water, can lead to the perinatal layers of consciousness, if you breathe deeply and coherently.
Further, concentrating on breathing, he discovered that it was rebirthing breathing that allowed him to get a deep healing effect. Thanks to this, rebirthing came out of the water onto land and began to spread rapidly around the world, like breathing practice, which has a deep healing and consciousness-expanding effect.
In 1976, Leonard opened the International Rebirthing Center in Campbell Hot Springs (California), where 80 people from around the world immediately began to study at a professional annual rebirthing course. Since then, rebirthing has been actively spreading around the world, and came to Russia in 1989 thanks to a student of Leonard Orr, Sandra Rey. Rebirthing is one of the tools. Currently, more than 3 million people practice rebirthing in different countries on all continents.
Rebirthing technique
The basis of the rebirthing training is connected, conscious breathing without pauses, with a greater than usual intensity of breathing. One rebirthing session involves completing this breathing technique half an hour to several hours.
A necessary element of the rebirthing technique is relaxation and acceptance of what happens during the session. To refer to this training, the term "letting go" is used - let go or release in the English-speaking environment.
The training is carried out under the supervision of a rebirther, a person who owns the technique and is professionally engaged in rebirthing, who at the same time is a guarantor of the safety of the breather, helps to maintain breathing and go through various experiences, sometimes increasing, sometimes weakening the intensity of the process. It is not recommended to practice rebirthing on your own or rebirthing at home.
After the session, there is usually a recitation, during which the breather shares the content of the session with the rebeferer and at the same time, by reciting what happened, receives additional opportunity to understand and integrate the experience gained.
The classic rebirthing course consists of 10 individual sessions, but depending on the desire of the person who applies or the problem for which the person comes to solve, the number of sessions can be adjusted.
Leonard Orr recommends conducting sessions individually, since group rebirthing, in his opinion, is ineffective and can even harm. But at present, especially in Russia, breathing rebirthing is most often carried out in a group format.
The purpose of the rebirthing training
“The purpose of rebirthing is to remember and relive your birth; relive psychologically, physiologically and spiritually the moment of the first breath and free yourself from the trauma received at this moment. The process begins the transformation of the subconscious idea of birth, as from primary pain to pleasure. The effect immediately affects life. negative energies contained in the mind and body begin to dissolve.”
Subsequently, it turned out that the result of the practice of rebirthing can be not only the re-experiencing of birth, but the experience of various states, including new experience, which can bring a different meaning to a person’s life and thereby initiate changes in life as a whole. Therefore, the meaning of the word rebirthing has acquired a different connotation - rebirth, spiritual resurrection.
Leonard Orr identified 5 main psychological trauma In human life:
1. birth trauma
2. parental disapproval syndrome
3. specific negativity
4. unconscious desire for death
5. past life karma
L. Orr designates the resolution of these injuries as Spiritual Enlightenment, which is also the goal of rebirthing.
Rebirthing practice
Various seminars on rebirthing are held in. In addition to introducing this breathing practice to beginners on our basic course, there are in-depth, 10-day rebirthing workshops that give you the opportunity to master the rebirthing technique the way Leonard Orr created it.
We also practice water rebirthing in hot and cold water. Water rebirthing workshops allow you to lift and resolve traumas related directly to birth and near-death experiences. As a rule, such classes take place in a sauna or natural reservoirs and are held in small groups. If you have special questions, you can take a course of individual therapeutic sessions with an instructor.
Leonard Orr, creator of the rebirthing technique
Leonard Orr is a man of legend. He considers breathwork to be the most powerful transformational practice that allows any person to get rid of obsession about the inevitability of death! “How do you know that you must surely die? The fact that other people, familiar to you and unfamiliar, have died means absolutely nothing to you personally. Because there are other examples - people who don't die!
I, - says Leonard Orr, - have already found several people who live on our planet in one physical body for more than 300 years, including some of them - 2000 years! Allow yourself to make your choice - to die or not to die.
When asked about his age, Leonard Orr replies: “When I turn 300 years old, I will tell you about it.”

Rebirthing is a breathing technique developed over 40 years ago by the famous American scientist Leonard Orr. The name of the technique comes from English term rebirthing, which means “rebirth” in translation, and very accurately characterizes its main goal - getting rid of negative, mostly suppressed experiences with the help of breathing.
During his life, a person experiences a lot of negative emotions, dramas, events that traumatize the psyche (the moment of birth also belongs to them). Most of them are consciously suppressed by our psyche, vital energy distorted in the body, some emotions hidden deep in the subconscious give rise to unnecessary fears and phobias. All this is reflected in the emotional and physical health person.
Rebirthing eliminates the negative effects of the repressed mental suffering, and the person plunges into an ecstatic state, which can be called "second birth". With the help of special breathing techniques, the practitioner manifests the repressed negative experience("patterns of emotions"), re-lives negative aspects his life and "integrates" (i.e. transforms) them into positive energy feeling of happiness, peace and harmony. Breath rebirthing helps not only to cope with the “burden” of suppressed problems accumulated throughout life, but also releases a huge amount of psychic energy that is spent on suppressing them and keeping them in the subconscious.
Rebirthing has a lot in common with Holotropic Breathwork and the Vaivation technique. Rebirthing and Holotropic Breathwork are the two most famous method penetration into the area of the unconscious, in which breathing is involved. When developing rebirthing, Leonard Orr learned a lot from the holotropic method of Stanislav Grof. In turn, the breathing technique of waiting arose as a continuation of the Orr method.
Rebirthing elements
In order for the integration of repressed energy patterns to occur more effectively, it is necessary to adhere to the basic elements of rebirthing. In a simplified form, they are a technique for performing rebirthing:
1. Cyclic breathing. Rebirthing is a practice based on special type breathing: inhalation and exhalation are maximally interconnected and occur without pauses, while inhalation can be fast and superficial, fast and deep, deep and slow, and exhalation always occurs freely and naturally. You can breathe both through your nose and mouth, without changing the chosen type of breathing throughout the session.
2. Complete relaxation. Not only the body should be relaxed, but also the mind. Sit in a comfortable position (preferably lying on your back), try not to cross your legs or move while you practice. The internal centers of suppression are much easier to realize and bring out when the whole body is relaxed, and thoughts are not distracted by anything.
3. Total attention. This element of rebirthing flows smoothly from the second: being in the present moment during practice, focusing your attention on what is happening with the body and mind, you thereby accelerate the process of transforming negative energy patterns. If something attracts your attention during the session (hand itches, tingling in the heel, muscles contract, discomfort appears in the body, pain, spasms, etc.), then you have activated one of the layers of the negative pattern. Therefore, you need to focus your attention on it as much as possible and feel in detail what is happening at the moment with the body and mind.
4. Integration in joy is the transformation of a negative context (emotions, actions) into a positive, positive context. There is no one-size-fits-all integration method. However, you can apply one of the most common schemes:
enjoyment of negative context;
Enthusiasm for existing emotions;
perception of what exists at the moment, with a certain amount of humor;
· unconditional love to past negative actions;
fascination with the pattern, showing interest in it;
the realization that at the moment you are receiving tremendous benefits for your body;
Acceptance of what is happening
joy that the negative event you are experiencing happened right now, when you are lying on the couch, and not during an important telephone conversation, etc.
5. Trust in the practice of rebirthing. Complete trust in yourself and the processes taking place in the body is the most important thing during practice. It is it that tells you how to breathe correctly, and leads to the realization that everything around is perfect, I have never done anything wrong, all my actions were initially correct, even if it seemed to me otherwise.
The lesson can be considered completed if at least part of the suppressed material has been brought to the surface and transformed. At the same time, a person should feel renewed and understand that he did the practice not in vain. One lesson can last from 1 to 6 hours.
Rebirthing at home
Rebirthing is a technique that is best done under the guidance of an experienced mentor. It will not only control the process of performing the practice, but will also help to cope with negative manifestations during the release of repressed patterns. Throughout life, we accumulate a lot of negativity, and the process of its transformation can be quite unpleasant and even painful. However, this does not mean that you should only rebirth with a master. It is quite possible to practice rebirthing on your own, in fact, this method just is efficient technique self-help. Work with an experienced rebirther for a while, and then start self-rebirthing. Currently, many different books and brochures have been written on this topic, and special music for rebirthing has been developed, which can be found on the net.
If you do not dare to conduct rebirthing at home, we recommend that you sign up for one of them and try out classes with a group, under the strict guidance of our instructors.
