Why has the name been changed from Rebirthing to breathwork?
When the technique was established in the late 1970s, many people experienced release from birth trauma. However, to day it is known that birth trauma is only one aspect of a wide range of traumas. Back then, many people experienced the beginning of their spiritual journey through breathwork as a spiritual birth. The energies during a breathwork session can be the same as during childbirth. The name change has cause confusion. Some people believe that breathwork and rebirthing are two different things and there has been much debate amongst the members of the profession. Many ex-rebirthers believe that breathwork more accurately describes the technique.
