Alternative Medicine Repertory

Rebirthing is a simple breathing technique, which can transform your mind, body and spirit as well as how you perceive yourself, others and the world in general. When you breathe consciously, in rebirthing, the inhale and the exhale are connected, your body relaxes, you can then feel your feelings, let all the negativity and tension in your body go and experience a state of peace, harmony and aliveness. Most people’s experience of their first breath at birth was quite traumatic. Consequently, whenever a person is happy, sad, frightened, or just feeling an unfamiliar emotion, she/he often holds her/his breath. By not breathing you suppress emotions. This emotional material then gets pushed into the body and the body reacts by creating physical problems. Breathing consciously, or rebirthing, helps relax the body and allows it to release all it wants and needs to release, at a pace that feels comfortable. These previously unexpressed emotions can then be fully integrated. Once fully integrated a person can then learn to respond appropriately to the world, in the present moment, rather than reacting from past experiences. Often during a rebirthing session, birth, womb and/or early childhood memories will come to light. It is then possible to see what decisions were made about life at that point and change any decisions which are no longer serving our highest good.

Rebirthing-Breathwork is a form of alternative medicine mainly consisting of a breathing technique. It shares a common belief with various other therapies called Rebirthing, with both groups believing that human birth is a traumatic event and that reviewing or revisiting this event, in some way, can have therapeutic benefits. However, the techniques used in Rebirthing-breathwork are very different from those used by these therapies. is often thought that behind rebirthing, human birth is traumatic, due to ignorance and misunderstanding on the part of most medical professionals (and parents/family) and that humans never forget their birth, they just repress the memory. Rebirthing-breathwork practitioners believe that in addition to cerebral memory (based in the brain), humans also possess cellular memory, which is distributed amongst the body's cells, tissues, organs etc. They believe that the trauma suffered during birth, and the specific nature of this trauma, has a deep effect on one's psyche and shapes one's perception and experience of life, self and the world in ways of which one is mostly unaware (For instance, someone born by forceps delivery might rely on others to pull them out of destructive situations.) Practitioners believe it is possible to gain recall of aspects of birth, gestation and early childhood and to release the accompanying emotions through conscious connected breathing; such release can generate a positive paradigm shift and life transformation based on a change in the experiences they believe one subconsciously attracts.
