Rebirthing techniques have given rise to a whole movement in the study of expanded states of consciousness, which are induced through the use of special breathing.
Leonard Orr, who pioneered this trend, was the first person to link the experience of deep states with the release of repressed psychic energies.
At the heart of this direction is the concept that most complex mental experiences are due to the trauma a person received during birth.
Birth trauma explains how a person experiences reality, it affects self-determination, the degree of fragmentation of consciousness and thinking, susceptibility to depression and aggression.
The treatment of such birth trauma was the main goal of re-breathing and gave rise to the name of the technique. Re-experiencing one’s birth is both the goal and the content of the breathing processes in the practice of re-breathing. It is believed that if a person relives the traumatic moment of birth, but with an understanding of his condition, he will rid himself of the negative impact of this trauma for the rest of his life.
Leonard Orr believes that the connection between traumatic experiences at birth and their manifestations in later life, is clearly grasped. This is confirmed by the example of the memories of people practicing re-befing about the moment of their birth.
Rebirthing is done through the practice of more intense breathing for 1.5-2 hours. This is enough time to get into deeper states and extract traumatic memories outward. After several sessions, the breather will have fewer and fewer negative experiences, which will gradually free him or her from such emotional impact.
Development of the Rebirthing Technique
As the re-befing technique has evolved, new possibilities have emerged. For example, the purpose of re-befing has changed over time, and the practice now seeks to change the angle of perception of traumatic situations stored in the unconscious. 
traumatic situations that are stored in the unconscious.
Thus, negative experiences are displaced by positive ones. Accordingly, a person’s inner world becomes brighter.
The most important points of the re-befing technique are:
- – Re-experiencing the moment of one’s birth;
- – Elimination of the impact of birth traumas on reality;
- – Release of hidden experiences and energies;
- – replacement of negative experiences with positive ones;
- – Opening a new level of consciousness
Rebirthing is an effective technique, as evidenced by the practice of many people who are seeking freedom.
Leonardo Orr believes that re-befing can help to remove the inner frames and karmas of previous lives, as well as to arrive at Spiritual Awakening, which frees one from the frames of ordinary reality. It also gives you the opportunity to gain total freedom of your own consciousness.
