Birth and rebirthing
Rebirthing is a therapeutic method in which birth-like states and memories are meant to be awakened through intensive, accelerated breathing. It came into fashion at the end of the 1970s; many people experienced it as freeing. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally classify the theme on a soul-related level.
Experiences and our view
D. Harald Alke worked at times similarly with the “breath of fire” of Energy Training and later with gentle regressions. His observation: if no artificial stress is generated, most people experience their own birth as normal and unproblematic – even with complications. We would therefore like to relieve from a blanket “birth trauma” that was over-emphasised in some therapy fashions.
Out of our spiritual tradition, we understand birth in connection with reincarnation – as the entry into a new life.
What does that mean in practice?
- More on pregnancy and birth: pregnancy, caesarean section.
- Rebirthing or regressions only in experienced, professional accompaniment.
- Do not let yourself be additionally burdened by a blanket “birth trauma”; calm breathing work (see pranayama) can do good in pregnancy.
