Learning to Breathe from the Breath Itself: An Introduction to Rebirthing-Breathwork and a Phenomenological Exploration of Breathing
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, Religion & Spirituality

In this book the author, who has been involved in rebirthing-breathwork for more than 30 years, takes us on a journey of exploration. What we explore are both the outer and the inner aspects of breathing. Since the birth of breathwork in the 1970s much has been learned about breathing and, for example, how it can be affected by our birth and subsequent life-experiences. "Learning to Breathe from the Breath Itself" explains how rebirthing-breathwork developed, what it is, how it works and what kind of experiences a beginning breathworker can expect. The appendix contains a series of breathing exercises that are a fun way of exploring one's breathing and that can help the beginning breathworker on her way. As such this book serves as a thorough introduction to rebirthing-breathwork. Beyond an introduction it also seeks to explore the deeper and more subtle phenomena associated with the breath. It introduces the concept of the imprint left on breathing by traumatic experiences and explains how connected breathing can resolve certain forms of trauma quite easily. It explains the "breathing release" and explores how thinking and consciousness are related to breathing and the breathing rhythm. As such it can be of great value to those who take conscious connected breathing serious, as well as to those who have made breathwork their profession. The author uses some of his own experiences as examples of the more general phenomena he describes, which definitely gives the book an extra edge. Learning to Breathe from the Breathe Itself is a map and a travel guide, as the title implies however, it is not the journey. We all breathe, but hardly anyone of us breathes unrestricted and freely. This book shows you how you can wake up in your breathing and start to learn how to breathe freely and unrestricted from the Breath itself.
