<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Rebirthing''' is a form of [[therapy]] that involves a specific type of [[breathing technique]] known as conscious connected breathing (CCB). The practice was developed in the 1970s by [[Leonard Orr]] and has since been used as a therapeutic tool in various forms of [[psychotherapy]] and [[personal growth]] programs.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
[[Leonard Orr]] is credited with developing the rebirthing technique in the early 1970s. Orr claimed to have had spontaneous rebirth experiences that led him to develop the technique. He began teaching the method to others, and it quickly gained popularity in the [[New Age]] movement.<br />
<br />
== Method ==<br />
The rebirthing process involves the participant lying down and engaging in a specific type of deep, connected breathing. This is often done under the guidance of a trained rebirther or therapist. The goal is to induce a state of deep relaxation and emotional release, which can lead to insights and personal growth.<br />
<br />
== Theory ==<br />
The theory behind rebirthing is that by consciously controlling our breathing, we can access and release suppressed emotions and memories, particularly those associated with our birth. This is believed to lead to healing and personal growth.<br />
<br />
== Criticism and Controversy ==<br />
Rebirthing has been the subject of criticism and controversy. Some critics argue that there is little scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of rebirthing therapy. There have also been cases where rebirthing therapy has been associated with harm, including a high-profile case in the United States where a child died during a rebirthing session.<br />
