Rebirthing - what is it? Rebirthing method and technique
We all know that after birth, a person must learn to walk, speak, write, and read. Does he need to learn to breathe? Surely not everyone thought about this question. Many people did not even think to pay attention to how their lungs are filled with air and how it leaves them, as well as what body muscles are involved in this, and what emotions arise at the same time.
The breathing process 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 its health. Those who often feel tired and overwhelmed are advised to use rebirthing. What it is? This is a technique for quickly getting rid of negative emotions that have fallen on a person, which allows you to quickly replenish the body's strength.
The issue of proper breathing has 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 these is air, which is made up of oxygen and other chemical components. The second level refers to energy that has an all-pervading life force.
The rebirthing technique adheres to the same idea. The essence of this technique is to restore the natural rhythm of breathing with the correct setting of inhalation and exhalation.
Exposure to negative energy
We all know the feelings of fear, anger, and stress. Whenever these negative emotions overwhelm us, we will certainly 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 upbringing, forcing a small child to be subordinate.
Considering this issue more deeply, it is necessary to touch upon subtle matters. After all, any shock or even minor trauma 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 turns into negative. It begins to negatively affect our psyche, body and emotional state. Simply put, a person acquires a whole bunch of physical and psychological illnesses.
And here rebirthing can come to the rescue. What it is? This is a technique for restoring full breathing, which allows you to renew the soul and body, as well as 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. Any excitement was forbidden to Leonard. When it occurred, the man's throat would constrict, and he began to choke. A similar illness was caused by a birth trauma. At birth, Leonard's throat was wrapped several times with an umbilical cord, which did not allow the baby to breathe. Then doctors rescued him. However, the trauma received at birth left an indelible mark on the psyche.
One day Leonard decided to take a bath. He climbed into the water. However, it turned out to be too hot. Leonard was burned and gasped from fright before he could leave the bathroom. In order not to die, the man forced himself to inhale the air vigorously. And a miracle happened. Deep breathing allowed Leonard to emotionally relive the moment of birth trauma, which freed him from the illness that arose in infancy. Thus, rebirthing was opened. What it is? This is a breathing technique, the name of which in translation from English means "rebirth".
Conducting classes
How can you make the most effective use of rebirthing techniques? Experts say that it is not necessary to take a bath to perform this technique. And although Leonard always preferred to spend at least two hours daily in the water, completely immerse himself in it and inhale through a special tube, such training will be effective on an ordinary sofa. To do this, you just need to get comfortable on it and relax as much as possible. At the same time, it is necessary to breathe not only deeply.
This must be done consciously. When performing rebirthing yourself, 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 human mind and body divide the available emotions into useful (pleasant) and harmful (unpleasant). Positive experiences 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 is about transformation, suppression, and glorification. To do this, you need to remember what was done wrong before and provoked the appearance of an unpleasant sensation. This feeling needs to be relived, but in a positive, new way, and then glorified.
Mutual breathing
This is the third principle that rebirthing uses. What it is? Mutual is meant 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 related to each other that any pauses are excluded during the breathing process. The exhalation should be spontaneous. At the same time, a person should not strain. Both inhalation and exhalation should be done through the nose.
Only in the most exceptional cases, breathing is allowed through the mouth. As a result of the actions carried out, energy is pumped into the aura. Mutual breathing allows mental debris to be activated, emerging in everyday consciousness and turning into unpleasant feelings, which we tend to suppress. This is our defense against negativity.
Relax your body
This is the fourth principle of the method. This method of breathing explains the need for complete relaxation of the body by the fact that the constrained areas contain negative (overwhelming) energy. How to do rebirthing yourself? In order not to violate its fourth principle, it is necessary to lie on your back and stretch your arms along the body. The legs should also be straight. You will need to put soft rollers under your knees and head. No body parts should be crossed. In the process of relaxation, you may experience unpleasant sensations in the form of tingling or scratching in the body. Do not give in to emotions and start moving. Such sensations are nothing more than a manifestation of negative energy that needs to be integrated.
Concentration of attention
It is also important to remember this principle for someone who performs rebirthing at home. During classes, you need to focus on your 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 a negative psychological state is imposed in certain layers. Each of them occurs at a particular period of a person's life. And if you find the cause and remind yourself of the time of the onset 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.
You should not consciously control or manage something. Rebirthing should be spontaneous, which will be most useful for the person who uses this technique.
Breath type
Anyone can master rebirthing on their own. Feedback from those who have already done this say that after 5-10 sessions they became the most sensitive to the world around them, which led to a rethinking of their whole life.
What are the types of breathing 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 deep stretching is used instead of soft breathing. This allows the body to relax. In our daily life, this type of breathing is recommended to be used at the very beginning of any negative state. This will help neutralize unpleasant feelings.
2. Frequent and deep breathing. What is it? Such breathing is almost twice as deep and more frequent than usual. He is considered the main one in the rebirthing technique. This type of breathing allows you to reach the level of the unconscious. In this case, the exhalation should be relaxed and not subject to control. When inhaling through the mouth, exhalation should be done in the same way. You cannot force or hold back your breath. Otherwise, contraction occurs, as well as tension in the muscles of 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 existing experiences. Rebirthing uses this type of breathing to relax the body and quickly overcome all painful and unpleasant sensations. Frequent inhalation and exhalation are recommended in extreme situations. This will allow you to quickly get out of the state when emotions are pushed to the limit.
4. Slow shallow breathing. It is used to get out of rebirthing. You should not force events and rush to complete the process in advance. This should be done carefully and slowly.
Conducting classes
How to correctly apply the rebirthing (holotropic breathing) technique? To do this, you need to lie down and relax. After that, it is important to shift all your attention to the breath. His whole body should breathe in a single rhythm with a person. 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 abdomen, and then bends around the genitals. Further, it rises along the spine and goes out into the surrounding space through the crown of the head.
Breathing in during rebirthing should be conscious. In this case, it is necessary to mentally control the process of filling the lungs with air. The exhalation should be inert and proceed without any human participation. And for this, after inhalation, the air must be released. This will allow him to go out on his own.
After the necessary parameters of the process of inhalation and exhalation are finally adjusted, then everything should happen by itself.
When using all types of breathing, the maximum result is achieved, 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 inhalation. 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.
