1970s Rebirthing Breathwork

When Rebirthing Breathwork was first discovered the original Rebirthers used mouth breathing because they breathed through a snorkel in a hot tub. The original Rebirthers spread conscious connected breathing across the world and created their own variations.

Meanwhile Leonard kept perfecting the technique. He spent time every year with Mahavatar Haidakhan Babaji who is the founder of conscious connected breathing. Babaji told Leonard, “breathe with the nose, eat with the mouth.” Leonard adopted nose breathing.

Leonard also stressed the importance of beginning a journey with the breath by having high quality individual sessions with a competent Rebirthing Breathworker. After having received ten sessions a person has generally released their breathing mechanism and is able to breathe themselves through resistances. 

Nose Breathing

During a session there are many reasons why some people cannot breathe through their nose and this is ok, mouth breathing is then used. Even during a session it is often necessary to revert to mouth breathing. When we take our first breath it is more than often through the mouth. However, the session should be started and finished with nose breathing.

Mouth breathing allows a person to access emotional states and is incredibly important if these have been repressed. In Rebirthing it’s important to understand how this can turn into emotional drama and a Rebirther is trained in helping a client through, as well as integrating emotional situations. Returning to nose breathing allows a person to understand situations from a greater perspective.

Nose and mouth breathing use different Nadi systems.
