Rebirthing is a wholistic healing method based on a simple breathing exercise which consists of connecting the inhale and the exhale so there are no pauses between filling and emptying the lung space.  After breathing in this connected manner for approximately an hour, the typical new Rebirthing client finds his consciousness involuntarily leaving the focus of the breathing, moving, instead, to review events in his own individual past. Generally, these events were ones which resulted in his accumulating negative thoughts and feelings which still dictate his basic attitudes and beliefs.   As the client continues the connected breathing during this re-experience of past events, the tensions involved with the past are dissolved. This is accomplished just by the connected breathing, not by any dramatization or any other kind of expression.   Having let go of these negatives, the client becomes free to make conscious choices about current real-life experiences that previously had been compulsively dealt with in a neurotic manner because the accumulated tensions limited choice. The connected breathing produces healing.
