Rebirthing Breathwork, also known as Conscious Connected Breathing (CCB), is a transformative healing practice that involves breathing in a continuous, connected rhythm—without pauses between the inhale and exhale. This intentional breathing technique helps you access a deep state of relaxation and heightened self-awareness, allowing you to release stored stress, emotions, and tension from both the mind and body.
Developed by Leonard D. Orr, Rebirthing Breathwork is designed to be practiced in both one-on-one sessions with a trained practitioner or in group settings. The method promotes emotional release and deep healing, encouraging participants to connect more deeply with their inner selves while safely unraveling unresolved emotions and memories. The process often leads to profound clarity, peace, and a renewed sense of well-being.
How Rebirthing Breathwork Works
During a Rebirthing Breathwork session, you will lie down in a comfortable, quiet space while the facilitator guides you through a rhythmic breathing pattern. This connected breathing—breathing in through the nose, with no pause between the inhale and exhale—induces a relaxed yet heightened state of consciousness. In this expanded state, the breath helps unlock emotional and energetic blockages, allowing for the release of suppressed emotions and past traumas.
As the breath deepens, you may experience a range of emotional releases, physical sensations, and moments of insight. This continuous breathing cycle activates your body’s natural healing process, clearing blockages and shifting energy. By the end of the session, many people report feeling deeply calm, relaxed, and energetically renewed.

Group vs. Private Sessions
Group sessions can be a great introduction to Rebirthing Breathwork, offering a supportive environment where you can share your journey and learn from others. However, if you’re dealing with significant trauma or are under the care of a healthcare provider, private sessions are recommended. In these individual sessions, you'll receive personalized guidance for a deeper healing experience.
In a group session, you’ll be guided into the breathing rhythm, usually while lying on a mat with a blanket and pillow for comfort. After the breathing phase, there is time for integration, where participants reflect on their experience and share their journey in a safe, communal space.
What to Expect During a Session
Each session typically begins with a brief conversation, where you can share any intentions or emotional needs you may have. You will then lie down and begin the breathing practice, guided by the facilitator. As you breathe in a continuous, connected rhythm, you may experience emotional releases, physical sensations, or moments of insight. This process can help you access deep inner healing and release old emotional patterns, ultimately leading to a profound sense of peace and clarity.
By the end of the session, most people feel deeply relaxed, emotionally lighter, and more connected to themselves. They may also experience a renewed sense of energy, clarity, and a deeper connection to their inner wisdom.
Rebirthing Breathwork offers a powerful way to release emotional blockages, heal past wounds, and experience a renewed sense of vitality and inner peace.
