Conscious Breathing is your natural breathing pattern. Babies, most small children, and animals all breathe this way. This is our natural breathing rhythm, before it became inhibited by stress, traumas, suppressed emotions, or the everyday hard knocks of just growing up. Learning Conscious Breathing and freeing your breath is probably the most powerful, beneficial self-healing modality you will ever use.
It utilizes a simple technique, called connected breathing, where the inhale and exhale are merged, with no hesitation or holding in between.
The focus is always placed on pulling in a deep inhale, and completely relaxing and letting go of the exhale.
The exhale is never forced or pushed out, but it is also never withheld in a long drawn out exhale. A good Rebirther can help you find the balancing point to free up your breathing pattern.
For most people this is difficult to do, and should not be attempted for extended amounts of time without first completing ten sessions with a high quality Rebirthing Breathworker.
