[edit] Article history

The Rebirthing article started as a discussion of only "Rebirthing-Breathwork" and omitted all the related theories which go by the name "rebirthing". Specifically, the early version omitted all mention of compression-theory and its dangers. There is good evidence that at least some of those more controversial theories were based on or drew philosophical support from Orr's theory.

The original article was extensively rewritten to cover the more general topic of "rebirthing". It lists Orr's theory in a History section but includes the other practices. Since then, several people have attempted to edit that article back to a more narrow focus on Orr's "rebirthing-breathwork" framework. I've now broken that off to this separate article. I'm not sure I got all the details right in the transfer. In particular, the first four bullets in the "Theories" should be validated as appropriate to "rebirthing-breathwork". Thanks.

Regarding the four points, they are accurately tied to Rebirthing Breathwork. Many practitioners including Leonard Orr also use the term Conscious Breathing, as there are many benefits beyond just clearing Birth Trauma or other suppressed emotional energies. I've made some minor notes in several places in the text to expand what is there. shinyblue 20 Apr 2005

I removed the 1st point. I took out the line because there is now scientific evidence of cellular memory in transplant receipients. 86.132.228.51 11:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)chris

And I've put it back pending a verifiable citation of your source. That is an extraordinary claim and deserves extraordinary confirmation. Rossami (talk) 05:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Breathwork criticism

There has been a longrunning dispute about the weight that should be given to the reported or alleged dangers of Holotropic Breathwork (see Talk:Holotropic Breathwork), and this has now been referred to the Mediation Cabal Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-01-23 Holotropic Breathwork NPOV disagreement. Many of the criticisms are actually common to all types of Breathwork. Rather than repeating the arguments under each therapy, one suggestion is that Breathwork should become the primary WP article, with links to the subtypes. Observations are welcome.
