Rebirthing Meditation

Sit in Easy Pose with a straight spine. Bring the hands up and interlace the fingers, pressing the palms into the body over the heart. Forearms are parallel to the ground, sticking out like wings.

Part 1: Purse the lips and breathe through the mouth. Inhale powerfully and fast with such a force that the cheeks are sucked in to the teeth. Put all the power into the inhale, but keep the exhale short too, about a 1.5 second inhale and 1.5 second exhale. Continue for 2 minutes, then inhale and hold the breath briefly.

Part 2: Begin the breath again and concentrate on the third eye and imagine yourself as a candle flame, burning away your limited ego, all dirt, the past, and all negative subconscious programming. Just be positive and imagine the positive thought of yourself burning away all fear, anger, and sadness in the candlelight. Continue for 3 minutes. On the final inhale, hold the breath and bring in a very pure, positive thought. Then sit quietly in a totally neutral space that expands into Infinity. Enjoy feeling clear, light, and pure.

Take time after to relax and return to normal.

COMMENTS: The panting breathing through the mouth works on the upper chest and lungs and clears emotional blocks. Rebirthing uses this breath to get in touch with emotional issues so they can come to light and be released.
