Breath Work Re-birthing but not really Therapy

[peacearnold]

this is NOT Rebirthing Breathwork



[devonkeim]

My "authentic" thoughts on breathing exercise: It's coated with a load of new age bullshit that covers the fact that it is essentially just another way of getting drunk and releasing feelings by decreasing the oxygen supply to your brain and getting hypoxic effects. Again, I can see that it can possibly be a useful psychological experience.

3. Cells are not being oxygenated more due to a) at rest your blood is at 98-100% oxygen saturation b) the increase in pH makes the oxygen less usable to cell and c) the constriction of blood vessels cause less oxygen to reach the brain and to some degree other areas of the body.

4. The psychological release of a breathing experience is caused by decreased inhibitions due to the physiological effects that decrease the oxygen available to the brain/ causing light headedness

[devonkeim]

1.The conscious act of breathing faster than the normal rate your respiratory drive would cause you to breath, is in fact conscious hyperventilation

2. Most, or most likely all, felt bodily effects are due to the physiological effects of hyperventilation

who's he giving birth to, himself?

I thought he was meant to be experiencing his own birth, not that of his mother giving birth.

there are no babies born doing what he's doing,

so whose birth is he replaying?

[YuukoFyeSeishirou]

LOL XD

I was taught by Leonard Orr. Leonard teaches to use either the mouth or the nose, but never both. If the inhale is taken in the mouth, it should be released through the mouth. Not mixing the nose and mouth like he is here. This looks very forced.

[Fishpigg]

And ?

[LegacyProductionsOrg]

he's pushing on the exhale.

why is he wearing a tie?

[caseyforever]

i'm not sure if it's similar for him but when i rebirth even my rebirther thinks i'm pushing on the exhale because i let go off all muscle control and let the breath just fall out which is very fast and sounds forced. he taught to ramp into letting it out but i'm not sure what i think of that. many of the variations seem to work, so i try it different ways ya know?

[LegacyProductionsOrg]

You sound like you are open minded and non-judgmental. I like hearing that. Though, you must admit... the tie?? ;o)

[caseyforever]

well, it was a well guard "secret technique" used to get over the fear of having a noose around your neck... but i guess everyone knows now! heheheh ;P

[Shonem]

Solution, avoid rope.

[tweetspie06]

I love how every few seconds the video fades to another video because the guy is quite obviously getting dizzy from hyperventilating

[LilaSakura]

nzhealer is correct, but I think Dr. Gravely and his staff are joke alternative healers

[zeffiro1963]

This great he is really a master!

[arundhatibakshi]

I thought in rebirthing you had to breathe only through your nose or mouth to make a cycle?

[caseyforever]

i think it tends to be one or the other... not both at the same time. that said i think many breathing patterns are beneficial... the traditional rebirthing techniques just seem to be more consistently useful and very powerful. any thoughts?

[benfar72]

@arundhatibakshi You are correct, this is NOT Rebirting/Breathwork

[xs0fiex]

Waste of space.

[nzhealer]

The video shows a form of breathwork, but it's not Rebirthing. Authentic rebirthing-breathwork involves either inhaling/exhaling only through the nose, or only through the mouth, never mixing the two. Your breath is very strained, which is blocking the pranic flow. Get to the next available Leonard Orr training in your area so you can fix your breathing and learn to work up a better energy. Also, remove the name 'rebirthing' from the title of your video - it reflects adversely on the modality.

[caseyforever]

nzhealer... i like what you've said here.

[benfar72]

Totally agree with @nzhealer this is not Rebirthing/Breahtwork. This is too much effort, Rebirthing/Breathwork is peaceful, and your own pace, the only suggestion is to connect the inhale with the exhale either only through the nose or only through the mouth.
