Rebirthing Breathwork
Rebirthing Breathwork, otherwise known as yin breathwork, is a gentle style of nose breathing in a circular pattern. Founded by Leonard Orr, this conscious breathing or energy breathing helps people to learn from the breath itself. This breath is the opposite of holotropic and a good introduction to breathwork or an alternative for those who found holotropic too intense.
The focus is on activating the parasympathetic nervous system and allowing the divine/ spirit / energy to breathe us. This breath is gentle yet powerful. At the very least, a client might experience long lasting relaxation. Aside from that, they might release subconscious memories, patterns, beliefs, trauma. Pain could be relieved. Energy is shifted. Clients experience better sleep, improved immune function, better mood and less anxiety.
During the session, the client is guided by the practitioner into the breath. Once they have dropped in, the practitioner will hold space throughout this circular breath or energy cycle. They may use other modalities such as sound and reiki to help support your journey. There may be an invitation for silence based on the client’s preference and the practitioner’s intuition. The breathwork could also be combined with a shamanic journey.
Rebirthing breathwork helps us to become a better, higher version of ourselves and to take our power back as the abundant, radiant, healthy human beings we are meant to be!
It is like a plant medicine journey without the plants. Clients often receive deep insights, move emotions or stuck energy. They may see visualisations, feel sensations, hear voices and experience a dream-like state.
It is recommended that clients commit to 3, 5, or 10 sessions to really see the benefits of this powerful breathwork. Sessions can last 1-2 hours and clients typically come out once the energy is done moving their breath and experience. Although safer than other styles of breathwork, it is important to speak with the practitioner before booking in if you have any serious medical conditions.
