The Breath of Life

By Ellen Valentine

It can be said that as a person breathes, so they do life. That is self explanatory but just in case it wasnt clear, if your breath is open and consciously engaged, you are fully alive; if however your breath is shallow and often stops, you are living a contracted and less than fulfilling life. The reality is that your breath is your connection to the Divine. It is the Inspiration to live, the Breath of Life.

Take a full and luscious breath right now; breathe deeply. How do you feel? You feel open, ready to let in life, right? Of course it may have scared you, to take a deep and connected breath, and only you can answer that, but the simple act will always tell you volumes about your present state of BEING. If it hurts or feels difficult on any level then you NEED TO BREATHE.

The breathing mechanism is the perfect gauge for our ability in any moment to truly live a full life. Most of the time it is an unconscious act. At any time it can give us a real check up.

Rebirthing breath is a spiritual awakening and a reconnection to our own core essence. The session itself may heal any manner of misperceptions a person has incorporated during a lifetime but more importantly it has the ability to shift the energetic clout of the aberrated thought. So, lets go through that again.

Thoughts that are not for our own good, like I will never be able to do that well, have an energetic power that keep them in our consciousness. The energetic nature of a thought is more powerful when the circumstance that set it in motion is suppressed or put out of the conscious mind. In other words the more painful the experience, when there is need to shove it out of consciousness to get on with life, an instance especially true of children when they are emotionally damaged.

What a person believes to be true for them will continue manifesting in that person's life. It is the unconscious thoughts that are have the most impact on our patterns of behavior.

Everything that occurs in life is being manifested because it is what a person believes to be their truth. So good or bad, every person is creating from dynamic thought, simply the unconscious and conscious mind. Not meant as a cruel or painful trick, this gift of co-creation was actually meant to be the greatest gift ever to humans. We are just now learning to use the gift more wisely. The resurgence of the teachings of Emerson, Charles Haanel, Wallace Wattles, and others are a reminder to us that there have been teachers all along who understood the creative nature of our thoughts, and they wanted to share their understanding with others.

As a person breathes during a connected breathing session, a professional rebirthing facilitator will make sure that something called a completed energy cycle happens. With this cycle of energy a certain amount of stored or blocked energy can be released. The thoughts attached are relinquished as they are exposed as untrue and no longer useful. This cycle is followed by a neutral state wherein the breather can make new and healthier resolutions about life.

If youre planning on having a baby and wish for a gentle and trauma free birth, your fist plan of action would be a ten week series of sessions for both mother and father. It will not be possible for the baby to be birth trauma free if everyone involved has not handled their own birth trauma first. Babies process the fear and apprehension of the parents not only at birth but in the womb. One session never fixes all but it is the beginning of a persons relationship with their ultimate life machine " their Breath.

Ten sessions are recommended as the minimum for anyone to feel really comfortable about breathing on their own. It also gives time for the greater part of contracted energy to be released in the presence of someone who will be there with the breather, lend compassion, and help them process any unresolved residue

Rebirthing is a technique I learned in1988. It made such an impact on my ability to expand and see certain circumstances in my own life clearly, and reconstruct them. It was amazing and I wanted to give that same gift to others. I still use rebirthing breath with clients and self. I have my own unique processing at the end of each session, after the energy cycle has been accomplished, and design a concentrated program during the ten weeks that is unique for each client.

Rebirthing is definitely a spiritual experience. Depending on the progress of the facilitator and the willingness of the breather, I definitely see it changes lives for the better. With constructive direction after the fact people have the opportunity to literally start fresh.
