Rebirthing Breathwork
Rebirthing or Conscious Connected
Breathing
is a sacred and revitalising
breathing technique, similar to the ancient practice of
Kriya Yoga.
Rebirthing heals 'your child
within' by cleansing your body of negative blocks and beliefs so
that you can, with the help of specific positive affirmations, attract
to yourself a vibrant and positive life.
The connected breathing
rejuvenates the cells of your body and brings to your awareness
unconscious thoughts, beliefs and feelings which may, or may not, go
back to your birth. Just by accepting these or making them 'alright' (as
opposed to 'all wrong') and changing your thoughts as you breathe - you change what you are
experiencing!
A rebirth can also be seen as a
microcosm of your life.
This is because, how you breathe in a session will usually be an
indicator of how you operate/behave in your life. Nothing's wrong -
neither how you are in your life nor how you breathe in a rebirthing session.
Rebirthing
is based on the
philosophy that our thoughts and beliefs create our lives.
When you change your
thoughts you change your live!
This
is a Universal Truth - yet for
many people, a very different way of seeing life.
The goal of rebirthing and surely of
life is to realise the preciousness of who we are, being happy and
fulfilled in the life we want to live.

If you'd like to read more about
rebirthing please see my article in Paradigm Shift: Rebirthing, Self-Transformational Breathing (PDF format). Rebirthing Session Testimonials I had never come across 'rebirthing' until meeting Marianne through a
mutual friend.
It sounded interesting and since I like to give most things a
try, I gratefully accepted her offer to have a session and find out more for
myself.
I've never considered I'd had a 'difficult birth' - despite being
breech, which must of course have been uncomfortable for my poor Mother!
I just
always thought it was amusing that I came into the world bottom first, witnessed
by about a dozen medical students.
Marianne indicated that this
back-to-front entry could possibly have lead to a deep-seated feeling of being
somehow 'wrong' at some level.
Although I had never tried the continuous breathing technique before, I
found it easy to get the hang of and to maintain - for well over an hour.
And
what an hour!
Within a few minutes my mind was presented with many scenes from
my childhood involving small dark place where I climbed or squeezed in and hid -
perhaps to 'return to the womb'? Soon my body was in contortions and my elbows
and knees buzzed intensely as if they were full of wasps! My hands become
temporarily paralysed - Marianne had warned me this may happen so I was not
worried and it passed.
She was attentive and tuned-in throughout and offered
guidance and reassurance from time to time.
From lying on my back, I slowly
manoeuvred myself into a crouching position, turned around and somersaulted over
to 're-birth' myself head first off the side of the bed and between the legs of
the chair Marianne was sitting on. All this happened spontaneously and quite
consciously yet in a state of semi-trance. I pushed and slithered my way out
until I was free of any impediment and lay quite exhausted on the floor. The
feeling of lightness and contentment was quite overwhelming. A truly remarkable
experience.

"I wanted a rebirth because
I needed a radical change in my life.
I've suffered from depression, anxiety,
severe social phobia and
a general lack of will to live for over 20
years.
I have done rebirthing twice before doing it with
Marianne,
both times in a group setting so I had no idea what doing
it
indivudually would be like. I worried that it would be to intimate
and
that with all attention on me I would feel the need to perform
and not be
able to relax, but this was all unjustified worries.
Marianne truly is a
born rebirther. I have never before met anyone who is
so destined for their
profession .
She's kind and gentle and knew exactly what to do during my
whole session.
She made me feel supported and secure in a way I've been
lacking since birth.
I think everyone would benefit from a rebirthing
with Marianne
regardless of their background or reasons for wanting change in
their lives.
It was an incredible experience and has lit a life force within
me that
I've been missing for a long time. I finally found what has been
holding me
back all this time and I feel totally different in myself.
I
have lots of energy and I'm no longer afraid of living.
I feel strong, free
and centred.
My previous rebirths were useful but they pale in comparison
to the one
I had with Marianne. She's a remarkable rebirth facilitator and
I
really hope more people will take the chance to experience how a rebirth
can radically change your life for the better."
