A typical session usually starts with the client's sharing with the Rebirther what has been going on in the client's life. The exploration focusses on what positives the client wants to establish in place of currently-held negatives. Some discussion of affirmations that counteract these negatives takes place.
Then the client lies down and breathes in the connected pattern, generally for at least an hour. The client is coached and guided by the Rebirther who helps the client remember to breathe when negative associations, coming up on their way to being released, cause the person to hold his breath. The Rebirther also encourages the client to breathe in a full, relaxed manner.
After the cycle of release is over, the client relaxes into a peaceful, blissful state, from which he easily emerges as the session closes.
