Rebirthing

Breath of Life Rebirthing is a sacred science using a connected breathing rhythm, relaxation, and positive contexts to expand your awareness. You learn to breathe prana (life force energy) as well as air, resulting in increased energy flow in your body, which brings up suppressed feelings/sensations. When you learn to open up your breath and relax in the presence of these feelings, you align yourself with your natural healing abilities.

Additionally, you are filling cells with oxygen, which they greatly prefer to carbon dioxide. Breathing efficiently you are dispersing prana, flushing the circulatory, nervous, and respiratory systems, as well as the aura or energy body. Proper breathing cleanses psychic dirt, negative mental mass, physical tension, physical illness, and emotional problems from human consciousness.

Emotional Healing

Emotions are energy in motion. We need them, and we need to have a healthy relationship with them. But we have all been emotionally abused to some degree, and have learned as a result that at least some of our emotions are not okay.

For example, when young were you really allowed to feel and express your anger when your needs were being violated? Most likely you were told, "Never act like that again," or "Don’t you ever talk to me like that again! What’s wrong with you? Shame on you!" So you more than likely learned at an early age that anger wasn’t okay.

Sadness makes insecure parents feel as though they’re not creating a happy home for their children. You may have been told, "Quit crying, you big sissy—what’s the matter with you?" or maybe "Stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about!" In this way you learned you couldn’t be sad.

Being afraid may have disturbed your parents. You may have been laughed at, or your fear may have been minimized by being told there was nothing to fear. So you learned that fear wasn’t okay. This can be especially true for boys who are often called a "sissy" and told to "act like a man."

It may not have been okay even for you to feel joy, given that most parents unwittingly prevent their children from having higher self-esteem than they do. So you may have learned that you have no right to be happy or enthusiastic.

What this means is that if you were told you were wrong, bad, stupid, or crazy for feeling what you felt, then you learned on a very deep level that there was something wrong with you for feeling the way you did. In other words, you were shamed for feeling your emotions, and shaming is the most damaging assault on your self-esteem because it has no boundaries. Your whole being is affected by shame.

So if you experienced emotional abuse, you have emotional problems to some degree, and the emotions are bound with shame. After a while you don’t feel shame anymore because you have internalized it, and now you are it! You have learned on a very deep level that you are worthless, that you can’t trust your feelings or perceptions, that you always get it wrong because you are wrong—not because you made a mistake, but you are a mistake.

You may have noticed these unresolved emotions don’t just dissolve. They live in the body in the form of stuck energy, held in place by shallow breathing. Furthermore, because they create unpleasant sensations in the body you develop body armor and withdraw awareness from your body. You then internalize the emotion through denial, avoidance, or self-blame, or you externalize by acting out or blaming others. Neither way ever produces emotional resolution.

Integration comes from awareness and acceptance of what you are feeling in a safe setting, so you can allow yourself to have a thorough experience of it.  Rebirthing is a kinesthetic process (which means the focus is on integrating into your sense of well being all sensations/feelings in your body). Kinesthetic processing is faster and more direct. A single feeling can be worth thousands of words and concepts, that would take hours to talk about. You can rationalize many situations in your mind and your mind can keep you in denial for years. Your body doesn’t lie. Feelings are much harder to deny, and feelings let you know the results of your unconscious and conscious thoughts immediately.

Now let’s look at emotions, beginning with sadness, and how they integrate. Let’s be very dramatic here and suppose you just lost your best friend. The one person you could count on and confide in just died. That means you need to go through the feelings of sadness and grief, and you need to feel them fully. When you have had a thorough experience, these feelings will integrate. When they do, you are left with gratitude for having had what you had with this person, the memories, etc.

Fear integrates into excitement and exhilaration. An example would be a roller coaster ride. For a person stuck in fear, it would be an awful experience. For another, it could be very exciting and exhilarating.

Anger integrates into determination, which facilitates your effort to get your needs met. Guilt and shame integrate into innocence and a more complete awareness of your natural divinity. Since all your emotions are bound with shame, there will be an integration of shame every time you integrate an emotion. Integrating shame-bound emotions is one of the keys in reclaiming your child-like innocence, which is essential in the process of reconnecting with your Higher Self and your natural divinity.

A Note from Drunvalo Melchizedek

In the ancient schools, such as in Egypt, the female or right-brained aspect of the Mystery School (the Left Eye of Horus) always came first. The student began there working on their emotional healing, and after the emotional healing took place, then the left-brained aspect was taught (the Right Eye of Horus).

Here in the United States, and in other left-brained countries, we have introduced the left-brained studies first without the emotional healing because these countries are having a difficult time understanding the female pathway. In many cases they have simply rejected this simple pathway. Therefore, we have introduced this male pathway first (just to get their attention). But now that we have your attention, and you are beginning to study this pathway, I find it necessary to tell you that you must now, or at least at some point on this path, begin to study the female way.

"Emotional healing is essential" if you really wish to find enlightenment in this world. There is NO way around this. Once you begin to find out about the higher worlds, you, yourself, will stop your own growth past a certain point until this emotional healing has taken place. I am sorry, but that is the way it is. You can't do the Mer-Ka-Ba or any other kind of meditation to any real degree of success if your emotional body is out of balance.

My suggestion is that you trust yourself and open to the possibility of someone coming into your life that can help you with your emotional imbalances (even if you are not aware of them). It almost always requires help from the outside. We usually cannot see our own problems, and so this is one area of human experience where outside help is just about the only way.

It is only when a person is in a relatively healthy emotional balance, can they successfully function through the Mer-Ka-Ba.
