Breathwork 101
The Beauty of Rebirthing Breathwork
The popularity of Rebirthing Breathwork is exploding and for good reason.
If you are reading this, it is likely that you have heard someone raving to you about just how bloody brilliant rebirthing breathwork is. Or you have done it before and want to learn more about this pretty epic transformational tool. Regardless of your level of knowledge or experience, let me try to explain the inexplicable.
Rebirthing Breathwork is like 10 years of therapy without uttering a single word to a therapist
A lot can happen when we breathe in a certain way and saturate our bodies with oxygen. It causes a shift in our physiology and allows us to move, process and clear all manner of stuff like blocked emotions, heavy energy and stored memories and trauma from our sympathetic nervous system – or commonly known as the fight or Fight response.
These energetic blockages can dramatically impact our mental and physical well-being and drain our energy, causing anxiety and depression, fuelling addictions, hindering confidence and creativity and stunting holistic and spiritual growth.
Most people will have blockages or stored emotional experiences that are holding them back and need to be cleared. If they are not released it can and frequently does, result in illness or dis-ease or general malaise.
The really good news is that by using a specific breathing technique, we can override the monkey mind and talk directly to the body and connect to our inner intelligence. This allows us to clear the blockages. Amazing right?!
Rebirthing breathwork is a clearing process so we can restore balance to the body’s stress systems, calm the mind, relieve anxiety and PTSD and release anything that is no longer serving us.
Rebirthing Breathwork is an incredibly powerful tool for the mind and body, accessible to almost everyone.
“When we clear out the heavy stuff that’s been getting in our way, we can access a wonderful sense of expansiveness in the mind. And it’s here that we can access bliss, blow open our creativity and access altered states of consciousness.
The end game for many is that they feel flippin’ fantastic, full of love and gratitude and light as a feather. Errrrm, yes please. I’ll take some of that.
“The only real way of understanding the power of Breathwork is to experience it for yourself”
Trying to explain the feeling you have after a Rebirthing Breathwork session is ineffable. It is virtually Incapable of being expressed in words.
Rebirthing Breathwork cannot be described, it absolutely has to be experienced. I urge you to try it.

What is integrative Breathwork and what happens in the session
The particular style of active breathing we work with is called Integrative Breathwork, using a conscious connected circular breath and it is derived from the Holotropic method and philosophy.
During a session you will be lying down and under verbal direction you will be guided to intentionally change your breathing pattern to a conscious connected breathing technique, using only the mouth to inhale and exhale with no pauses in between. We use a carefully curated playlist of powerful and beautiful music to enhance the experience.
A Breath therapist will be close to hand to help enhance the experience and help you focus and feel supported throughout the process. During Breathwork, participants are instructed to give themselves permission to let go of anything they are repressing and release. This has a strong impact on the psyche and is usually a great relief.
A number of psychotherapeutic methodologies are used to enhance the session for your benefit.
Breathwork is absolutely experiential and it’s completely different for everybody, every time.
The Science Bit.
Breathwork creates both a psychological and biological influence on the brain. With the latter, it causes a loss of CO2. When the body compensates, the process of CO2 creation lowers blood acidity so your blood becomes more alkaline. An alkaline environment in the body will reduce inflammation and therefore the probability of disease.
The lower CO2 results in decreased blood flow to some parts of the brain and one part in particular – the default mode network or DMN – that is responsible for mental structures and your sense of self/ego. When activity in this area drops down considerably, the ego mind can temporarily vanish.
When the DMN is curbed, there is more activity which allows emotions and memories, including childhood traumas or grievances, to surface from the unconscious to be processed and released.
