Breathwork can be a
great tool for clearing a lot of locked up energy out of the body. It
can be done in private sessions or in a group setting. Of course it is
important to have a competent facilitator that you feel comfortable
with. There are various approaches to breathwork available. Most of them
have the same basic premise but come at it in differing styles. I was
trained in a variation of the Stanislov Grof style of Holotropic
Breathwork, which I enjoyed. The following is a source of information
about the subject.
Note: Rebirthing
has been given some bad press because of some unskilled therapists
working in detrimental ways with their clients and calling
the technique they were using rebirthing. I have worked with many people
using rebirthing as a tool with no ill effects. The message: be sure to
use your intuitive sense and your common sense when discerning who to
work with. The following resources can give you some background to help
with your decision.
