Re: More on Smoking and Birthing...

Ones birth is only 'traumatic' in the sense that in our birth process we are transitioning from spirit to fetus to body. The fetal experience is as close to spirit as we can be without being fully in the body. Although there is a paradox in there too. (smile)

Rebirthing is about reconnecting to spirit via breathwork via the 'trauma'. The 'trauma' on another level symbolically represents the break from Heaven or Source. Our birth represents our separation from God. It's mixed with joy and with sadness.

When I rebirthed I actually 'saw' my birth. The doctors, the hospital room, the bright lights etc. What I experienced was that I came in with a great deal of joy and expectation of a wonderful new journey in the body on the planet. However my expectation was that others would share that happiness too. This was not to be as I discovered. So my birth experience was a mixture of joyful expectation mixed with disappointment.

I also for many years dreaded any form of physical pain and would avoid any physical contact sports. I was conscious of this acute sensitivity and terror of physical pain. I sought an answer which became apparent through my rebirthing. What I learned was that my first attempt at being born I miscarried and was still carrying the memory and physical pain of the miscarriage. This awareness came through the rebirthing process and so I asked my mother if there had been a miscarriage and she said yes! She also wanted to know how I came about this information and I told her.

So rebirthings function is to clear the birth event because any scarring present there blocks our ability to reconnect to spirit. It's about going back over the bridge. I recommend everyone try rebirthing but few will do it.

One of the themes that MH mentions here is the drive for people to die the body. This is what I call the Death Urge. The reason why the DU is so powerful (and MH observes as well) is that people want to return to Heaven because the body acts as an interference field...a filter to spirit.

By accessing ones birth moment we drop the need to kill ourselves. Its just a way of choosing Life Urge and following through with it.
