What makes us the way we are? Many people believe their path and life choices are determined by their astrological sign, the impact of planetary positions and their rising sun. Other people believe Karma has a direct bearing on their souls. more >
Rebirthing is one of the fastest growing natural healing modalities
available at this time. It is a safe and powerful breathing process
that releases tension from the body, freeing it so that you may be your
true self and reach your unlimited potential.
The
breath is a sublime healer. It is the umbilical cord to the Divine. By
using a variety of smoothly connected breaths; energy which may be
called prana, chi, ki, or the life force is taken into the body where
it dissolves and brings up anything that is unlike itself. When this
takes place, blockages that have been
holding us back at the
psychological, spiritual, or cellular source surface and a deep inner
transformation occurs.
Rebirthing focuses on birth and the thoughts or imprints which affected
us at that time which guide our life. As a child we received many
negative messages from the time of conception through adolescence from
well-meaning parents, relatives, teachers, the media, etc. The nine
months spent in utero and the next two years until a child learns to
set boundaries and say "no" are crucial. Many of our core beliefs about
ourself and the world are formed during this period. The natural
response to birth or childhood trauma is to create defense mechanisms
which go on to become unconscious habitual patterns. As we grow up
these patterns can manifest as addictions, self-sabotage, phobias,
anxiety attacks, and other self-defeating patterns which cause us to
act unconsciously or negatively.
Many
doctors are now
researching birth and womb experience."The Secret Life of the Unborn
Child" by Dr. Thomas Verny of Toronto, "Babies Remember Birth" by Dr.
David Chamberlain, and "Voices From the Womb" by Michael Gabriel. M.A.
are only a few of the many current books available on the subject. A
study was also conducted in the States which found that the most
violent prisoners had the most violent births.
Rebirthing is different from many other alternative modalities because
the emphasis is on letting the breath release the trauma or unexpressed
emotions, rather than re-experiencing them. The breath by-passes the
mind thus control is broken down and we work purely on the spiritual
and physical level.
The mind may not
have easy access
to early memories but the body doesn't lie. Once the breathing begins
the body has to tell the truth about what it has been storing. What
comes up for integration is meant to. Also, whatever we don't heal we
pass on. Therefore, some of the clearing may not even be ours, but has
been passed on through the cells from our ancestors for generations.
Most people benefit from being rebirthed by a professionally trained
rebirther. When one begins the process the intense emotions, or vivid
memories, can be dispelled by the presence of the rebirther. It is also
recommended to have a back-up
support system.
