Questions & Answers
| Q |
""What is this type of therapeutic Breathwork?" |
| A |
It is a body-centered therapy that uses a gentle
yet powerful breathing technique, to help activate and release stored
stress, pain, and emotional trauma of all degrees. The results are
often profound as this process works directly at the core of these
issues whether conscious or unconscious. The process also includes
identifying limiting beliefs that are formed before, during, and after
birth. Rebirthing can effectively reverse such beliefs bringing about
changes that may have been previously difficult to achieve. It creates
space in your life for joy, love, health, prosperity and functional
relationships. Rebirthing, developed in the 1970's by Leonard Orr
and Sondra Ray, is now recognized as a powerful, efficient healing
method. |

| Q |
"How does it work?" |
| A |
Rebirthing works predominately through a simple breathing process
called "conscious connected breathing" or the "circular
breath". This technique, through the breath, brings in more life
force energy than one is normally used to having in their body. This
extra life force energy may appear in the body as heat, pressure,
cold, tingle, "electrical currents", vibration and other
body sensations. Specific areas of the body may become activated as
this force flows through, bringing to awareness all the areas in the
body/mind that are blocked. Emotions and memories may now safely surface
about these blocks for the purpose of release. There may be areas
of our lives that are currently not working due to these long ago
blocked areas. Once released, our lives "majically" seem
to change. People frequently report significant changes on long standing
issues. |

| Q |
"What does a Rebirthing session look like?" |
| A |
Each session involves a consultation and approximately an hour
of connected breathing. Initially we will discuss what you know
about your birth, childhood, and family patterns, and how they may
be affecting your life. We will discuss your current issues from
the perspective of resolving them by changing your unconscious beliefs.
Then you are coached and guided in a gentle rhythmic breathing pattern
in which the inhale is connected to the exhale without pausing.
Identifying and dissolving negative, suppressed feelings and thoughts
allows us to replace them with positive feelings as well as with
thoughts of self-esteem and love. An average session lasts about
two hours.
As "homework" a rebirther will give you tools such as
personalized affirmations, Forgiveness Diets, and other suggestions.
If these suggestions are followed they will accelerate the healing
and releasing process greatly. By the time of the next appointment,
you will have progressed much more and will probably be able to
go to a deeper level of healing than without the extra "in
between" work.

| Q |
"How many Breathwork sessions do you recommend and how often?" |
| A |
We recommend 10 or more sessions. You may schedule your appointments
every week to every month. It is NOT recommended to go longer than
a month because the benefits of the session decrease greatly. The
optimum is a session every one to 2 weeks. I believe you will see
the greatest change with this schedule. The purpose of this is to
build a relationship of trust between you and your Rebirther and to
maintain that relationship long enough to realize and integrate the
cumulative results. |

| Q |
"Is Therapeutic Breathworking safe?" |
| A |
Conscious connected breathwork, or Rebirthing, is an extremely safe
and gentle process. It's natural because you're using your own breath!
A trained Breathworker NEVER at any time touches you in a manner other
than loving. A Breathworker may pat your arm or gently touch your forehead,
but that's about it. We are here to support you and honor your healing
process. Breathworkers have spent years on their own "processes"
and, in fact, are required to continue the Breathwork process on themselves.
After all, aren't they supposed to be your guide in this process? |
