What is Clarity Breathwork?

According to International Breathwork Foundation "breathwork is a dynamic body-mind practice using conscious connected breathing techniques for inner peace, enhanced well-being and personal transformation. Breathing, beyond the basic need for survival, acts as a bridge between spirit, mind, and body; between the conscious and the subconscious. Conscious breathing is one of the quickest ways to open the heart and energize the body. When used in specific ways, breathing allows us to release and resolve emotions, belief systems, stresses and memories which are often inaccessible through the more conventional talking therapies."

Clarity Breathwork, previously known as Rebirthing, is a safe, easily accessible and all natural, but powerfully effective process of healing, growth and transformation that is not usually achieved with traditional therapy and modalities that only involve the logical mind.

Clarity Breathwork enables you to tap into your body's tremendous capacity to rebalance and heal.

It increases oxygen and energy flow in the body, helps gently release toxins, negative thoughts, inner tension and stress, suppressed wounds, painful emotions and trapped trauma within you.

It leads to greater clarity, a deeper sense of knowing and profound insights into your core life's issues.

This work, and its life coaching aspects, can also bring awareness to habitual dysfunctional subconscious beliefs, repetitive patterns and conditioning, as well as remove blocks and a sense of feeling stuck, that limit you from living the life you want.

It allows for spontaneous completion and resolution, invites you to develop the courage to cultivate acceptance, understanding, reconciliation and even gratitude for past hurts.

It enhances love, compassion, and forgiveness of yourself and others, and inspires you to take responsibility for your life, embrace what is, and let go of trying to control what cannot be controlled.

What is amazing is how it can bring consciousness to your subconscious - which dictates much of your bodily functions, emotional responses and behavior.

Clarity Breathwork can even connect you to the spiritual realm within and around you, to reveal the true magnificence of who you are and heal a mistaken sense of separation from these essential components of life.

The process creates an incredible feeling of relief, aliveness, enhanced well-being, and joy.

Wonderful inner change creates outer changes in your well-being, your life, your direction and sense of purpose, and your relationships.

How Does Clarity Breathwork Work?

In everyday life, most of us are using only about 20-30 % of our lung capacity.

Breath is what gives us life, needed fuel, energy and oxygen; exhaling is the most effective natural detoxification.

Clarity Breathwork invites you to breathe at 100 % of your lung's capacity, which enables your cells to get get fully oxygenated and energized, as well as release toxins, so that your entire body can work better and operate more efficiently.

Breathwork literally empowers the body to reset, recalibrate, rebalance and heal itself. Breath is also intricately involved in our emotional responses.

When we are relaxed, we breathe more slowly and deeply.

When we encounter a stressor, our bodies are hard wired to go into the fight or flight stress response.

Sometimes this can be lifesaving.

But if there is no imminent danger, we still experience all the symptoms and effects of the stress hormones which become harmful over time, and often we are without the ability to fully process it all - especially if the stress is chronic or severe; we momentarily hold our breath, then breathe more rapidly and shallow, and the unprocessed emotions felt at the time get subconsciously repressed, and stored as trapped energy within the body, without our knowing.

Many people in the modern world operate almost continuously in the fight or fight mode even though there is no actual danger from which to flee, wrecking havoc with their health.

All animals shake off trauma energy, after they escape a threat, and return to their normal relaxed state of being - they move on without being impacted by the trauma experience; the energy of the trauma is not suppressed, it does not build up and cause dis-ease as it does in humans.

Humans tend to walk around carrying baggage of past wounds, hurts, pains and traumas.

Clarity Breathwork puts the breather in a semiconscious state, so the body naturally releases this baggage of past trauma energy, and when it is released we feel better emotionally as well as physically; we are in a more optimal state of health and well-being.

It is incredible to feel and to witness the immense relief that follows.

Around the world in many cultures and religions, breath is associated with spirit, the G-d of your own understanding, the infinite and eternal - from all biblical religions where G-d is described as breathing life into the first human, to the yogic traditions describing prana (breath) as spiritual life force.

Clarity Breathwork has no association with any religion or spiritual dogma, but it sure has spiritual benefits; it enables us to explore, feel deeper into, and connect to the essence of who we are, that which is sublime and so very there, but not directly discernible through our five senses.

Clarity Breathwork can lead to transcendental and divine mystical experiences.

If you are literally taking in all this breath, inhaling the spiritual life force fully into your being, especially with the intention to heal, the healing that takes place is all the more profound; this not only makes this modality even more compelling, but also it provides such an incredible tool, that you can access at your own will.

What is the History of Clarity Breathwork?

Breath and different types of breathing have been used around the globe in many cultures for thousands of years, to access higher states of consciousness for transformation and healing.

For example, in the East, many different yogic breathing techniques such as Pranayama emphasized the importance of conscious breathing to achieve a variety of desired results for optimal well-being along journey to enlightenment.  

Clarity Breathwork evolved out of ancient practices, as well as Rebirthing, founded by Leonard Orr in the 1970’s and taught worldwide by both Leonard Orr and Sondra Ray.

In 1999, the founders of Clarity Breathwork decided to differentiate their work from Rebirthing, and call it Clarity Breathwork.

They did this for several reasons.

They found the term “Rebirthing” limiting in its implication that the purpose of this work was solely to address re-experiencing and healing our own birth trauma.

Although they acknowledge all aspects of birth, which includes womb time, conception and delivery to be very powerful, they also wanted the name of their work to encompass the much wider range of issues that can emerge through practicing conscious, connected breathing.

These may stem from later wounds and trauma, childhood, teen-aged years, schooling and education, livelihood and money, family, sexuality, relationships, religion, societal conditioning, emotional energy and behavior patterns passed down from family and its ancestry, death and dying, and so on.

They also wanted to embrace and meet the impermanent nature of physical reality, as well as the eternal reality of spirit.

Their focus is more on learning to be more fully alive and present in our current lives moment by moment.

Facilitating Clarity Breathwork, like midwifery, includes both art and science, as well as wisdom from experience and training in other complimentary healing modalities from the East and the West.
