The theories expressed by me in this book are a work in progress.
Not a belief system, but rather, a working hypothesis
on Rebirthing.
Each Consultation module contains Workbook(s) to assist the client in resolving any issues they may have and enable them to live a more Blissful
life.
It is recommended that the Rebirther has their client read each Consultation prior to their session which can then be reviewed at the session prior to their Rebirth session. Many of the Workbook components can also be done as homework prior to or after the consultation.
Towards the end of the book are some more advanced Rebirthing techniques which the Professional Rebirther will find very useful and can be utilised in advanced sessions with their clients after the clients have had their first 10 Rebirths.

Forgiveness - Numerical Energy Release (Form #C1-3)
I …………………………….. now completely forgive the Doctor and Staff who delivered me.
I ……………………………… now completely forgive my mother
I ……………………………… now completely forgive my father
I ……………………………… now completely forgive myself
I ……………………………… now completely forgive God
• Continue on with this format forgiving anyone from the past or present, abusers, siblings, spouses, etc.
• I emphasise the simple nature of the above. It is based on numerology. It is important not to ‘try’ to forgive – or to engender or try to engineer forgiveness emotions whilst doing exercise.
• Can be written over the 24 hours e.g. 10 in the morning, 40 at lunch, 20 in the evening.
• It is to be written without stressing or feeling forgiveness.
• Do one at a time (e.g. Doctor and staff), you cannot do multiple forgiveness releases at a time.
• Always start with Doctor and staff as this is the first experience in this life.
• Write each diet 70 times a day for 7 consecutive days in a row. Must be done over consecutive days or will need to start over from beginning. You may want to set an alarm if you think you might forget. Writing the statement 70 times a day may seem a lot but it should take you about 30 minutes and you will become faster and more efficient at it by the second or third forgiveness release.
• You can have breaks between releases. E.g. Complete Doctor and staff over 7 days and have a few days off before you start release 2 (Mother).
Rationale – Forgiveness is an organic process – as the energy releases, the authentic feelings of forgiveness will proceed at the perfect pace.

Rebirthing Cellular Memory Release Consultation #2
The Formation of Emotional Suppression, Physical Traumas and Genetic Cellular Memory
Sleep is the short death and death is the long sleep
Shri Haidakhan Babaji & Sai Baba
According to the above statement of the Immortal Yogi, Babaji, when a person dies they go to other realms to cleanse the pollution they gathered over a normal lifetime. They are earning the right
for a new flexible baby body. They sleep, dream vision, and very deeply rest away the negative mental mass of suppressed thoughts and emotions that caused their previous death in the first place.
This is a very interesting theory and leaves space for every experience in the after life
that has ever been written about in the Holy Texts of all religions as well as other experiences people have reported after Near Death Experiences and in recall therapies.
This also makes sense on the level of how can we have a flexible baby body with rigid, inflexible, old thoughts.
Remember in the cartoon series The Simpsons
the Notice on the front door of Grandpa Simpson’s old folks’ home states:
No New Thoughts
In Here Please
To build a human body out of energy and the elements
involves the total mastery over a million thoughts.
Shri Haidakhan Babaji
as quoted by Leonard Orr
The Energy Body is cleansed and de-polluted in order to make use of the inbuilt structure and abilities (which the Energy Body holds) to build another Physical Body. While we are in a Physical Body, the Energy Body acts as a bridge between the Physical Body and the Eternal Cosmic Source.
The Energy Body is sometimes called the Aura. Science calls it the electromagnetic field. For simplicity, I will call this field the Energy Body. The Energy Body is the real You. It is the creator and sustainer of your Physical Body. What do I mean by this? Our mind (thought system – both conscious and sub- conscious) is housed within the Energy Body. Our brain, in fact our whole body, is just a receiver of instructions from the Energy Body. This is obvious because the brain ceases to function at death and yet we go on thinking. Our Energy Body is Immortal and we take all our thoughts with us wherever we go.
At death, Mother Nature takes back her immortal qualities of Earth, Air, Water and Fire and the Energy Body travels to the astral world (the world of the mind).
Housed within the Energy Body are 1 million thoughts that form the Physical Body. These thoughts form the Physical Body in perfection. Over the years of an ordinary life, because the Energy Body has become polluted by negative thoughts, the 1 million thoughts are no longer functioning in a pristine environment.
These thoughts are functioning under stress, having to push their way through all the accumulated negative mental mass. The thoughts are still working as God intended, but are mutated by the pollution as they valiantly try to form energetic new cells. The reason I say valiantly is because this part of yourself (your Eternal Energy Body) is trying until the day you die to form new cells. Morticians say even after death. This would be because the Energy Body has not yet moved on. Basically, the Energy Body must be cleansed and de- polluted in order to be able to make use of the inbuilt abilities of the Energy Body to build another Physical Body. This ability is immortal and can be used (when pure of mind) to build a body at any time.
The orange centre in this Kirlian photograph of a Rebirth session is the physical body and white circle is the clean and balanced Energy Body.
As can be clearly seen, the Energy Body is the bridge between the physical body and the Eternal Energy/ Living Space/The Source/ God.
The Birth – Death – Rebirth Cycle
The Immortal Yogi Christ, Babaji, built his own body in the sacred cave at Haidakhan. He, like Melchizedek, did not have biological parents and was not born out of a womb. However, whether we use a womb, or a cave it is the same – A clean Energy Body is essential.
Whatever time after death, when we have dreamed, visioned, and very deeply rested away our pollution, we arrive at the moment of conception with our Energy Body fit, bursting with energy, enthusiasm and self love, and eager to build a new baby body. It is the Energy Body that conceives of itself in your mother’s womb and begins to build a physical structure. We build a placenta and physical body and at around nine months, we are ready to be born.
The raw materials we use for this incredible feat are:
a. 1 million thoughts that are eternally held within our Energy Body
(Babaji, Leonard Orr)
b. The Immortal Elements of Earth, Air, Water and Fire.
c. The Eternal Cosmic Primordial Source is the energy we use to pull ourselves together.
This energy is the indestructible energy of creation. In the Santana Dharm (the oldest Religion), it is said that all the Suns of all the Universes send their energy to our Sun and it is distributed onto Earth.
Scientists have discovered that everything is energy and this energy cannot be destroyed or created by a human source. The Energy Body creates each cell using the 1 million thoughts, Earth, Air, Water and Fire so therefore it, (the Energy Body), must be in every single cell surrounding and interpenetrating that cell. Because the Energy Body is in every cell of the physical body, it could be said we have a thinking physical structure
We create our own body in the womb. Our mother, at this time, is in effect a landlady. She keeps our womb warm, the rain off and provides the space. Later on, she begins to impact but there is a margin of safety in our early beginnings. The point is, we in communication with the Eternal Source, build our own body. Therefore, all we need to do in order to youth our cells is to remember what we knew during conception and gestation.
We are in Divine Communication with the Eternal Source on several levels – Psychically via our Energy Body mind and via the placenta – As above so below.
Eternal energy is the source for building the nutrients in the placenta in the first place.
Psychically we are in communication with the Source via our Energy Body mind. Since our mind is relatively pure at this point, we are not experiencing any thoughts of separation from the source. We have a direct experience of Who We Are- At One with the Source. If this experience was translated into preverbal language, it would be a thought of I am
– more specifically – I am at One with God/Creator.
We conceive ourselves into a family genealogy. It is actually thirty people impacting on you via your parents if your chosen family is the normal dysfunctional family of modern times
These dysfunctions (especially from Mum and Dad) will have a strong influence on your development. For example – what your mother and father and even your grandparents think about your arrival, whether they want a boy or a girl or a child at all. What your Mother eats and drinks also has a direct impact on you during gestation. For instance, recent research reveals that two glasses of wine daily on a regular basis during pregnancy, or the equivalent, will cause fetal alcohol syndrome which seriously affects brain development. Too much of the wrong sort of fat in the diet can also have a detrimental effect upon the developing fetus.
It used to be common knowledge that the placenta was a barrier, but this has now been debunked. Drugs, unhealthy food, and other substances bypass the placental barrier and pass directly into your womb. However, all is not lost – research has shown that if your Dad and Mum (Mum especially) wanted you, then despite all else, you have a good womb.
Our direct connection to God is our primary defence against the pollution from our parents. We build our own body in the womb. I like to repeat this to myself daily. It is a very inspiring and interesting thought. Why? Because if you built your own body using your own eternal thought system blueprint, Earth, Air, Water and Fire and your eternal connection to the Source then you have the thoughts and the power to rebuild yourself in the perfection that you created back in those nine months. If you but rediscover the 1 million thoughts and master the Earth, Air, Water and Fire, you have a tool to use on your physical body, which you could regenerate and rejuvenate at any time. Whilst reading this you have slothed off 100’s of cells and made 100’s of new cells. Are those cells the perfect healthy cells bursting with life that you had when you were a child?
Haven’t you ever wondered why a 2 or 12 year olds cells are so different to a 62 or 72 year olds cells? There are many medical theories that will be examined in later chapters.
Rebirthing philosophy states that the mind impacts upon the cells. We are impacted upon in the womb by our mother’s thoughts. Research has shown we are imprinted during gestation. There is also research pointing to adult diseases and addictions such as alcoholism, originating in the gestation period. But there is a huge margin of safety in the womb because of our direct connection to the Source.
We spring from this connection, create our bodies in perfect health and for most of us who have made it past twelve weeks, deliver ourselves on to the planet brimming with life.
During the time in the womb, we are in both psychic and chemical communication with our Mother. Millions of messages are exchanged daily. When we are around six months in the womb, our brain has developed the ability to think (form a conclusion about what is happening). Not as an adult thinks, because our cortex, although formed, is not yet functioning. We are thinking/feeling with our early brain – the survival and emotional part of the brain. In fact, we are a wide- open sensory window. These parts of the brain are developed in order for us to be born.
Leonard Orr (the founder of Rebirthing/Breathwork) noticed that adults that he Rebirthed were in touch with the thoughts they had at birth, and often, what they thought happened would be validated by their mother, mostly to her surprise/shock. In layman’s terms, the baby in the womb sends psychic/chemical messages to his/her mum. The message is simple. I am ready to be born – send down the oxytocins. The baby sends this message to its mother’s primal brain – the survival (reptilian) and emotional (limbic) part of her brain.
Birth is Divinely designed in co-creation with our evolution.
There is an exquisite communication between the mother and baby. It is not just on the level of the brain. The whole of the baby’s and mother’s bodies are involved in this momentous event and is primed by the Divine Mother for the moment of birth. What follows will depend on the mother’s physical, emotional, and mental health.
In a close to ideal scenario, the mother receives her baby’s message loud and clear and her primal brain then reacts to the stimulus. She relinquishes her social conditioning, knowing it has no place here, and settles in to her ancient birth brain.
This part of her brain knows
exactly what to do, and has known
since the beginning of time. Her brain releases into her body, and the baby’s, an amazing array of substances to make the Perfect Birth Potion. Her brain can co- ordinate the manufacture of the perfect mix of chemicals to assist her and her baby to have a blissful birth – as long as there is no interference from administered oxytocins or pain relief drugs. The hormones and chemicals she produces is a heady mix of many substances, some of which have not yet been properly identified or reproduced in a laboratory.
These substances which she releases, with the baby’s prompting, (it’s like an exquisite dance between them) prepare, calm, pacify and assists the body of the mother to open up fully to the experience of birth, actually without all the pain that is talked about constantly and touted as a necessary part of being born.
The birth journey itself is so designed that the last contractions gently squeeze the amniotic fluid from the baby’s lungs. This prepares the about to be born child’s whole breathing mechanism for its first breath. The baby emerges into the world and begins to take small breaths through his nose, as though testing his breathing mechanism and the planets’ environment. It has at this point two sources of oxygen, the placenta and the atmosphere. Mother Nature/The Divine Mother designed this gentle and non-threatening way of learning to breathe.
It is the baby that is in control of the length of time that s/he takes to master breathing entirely atmospherically. The baby is teaching itself to breathe energy as well as air. It is learning to breathe in the Holy Spirit as well as oxygen. It has recreated the Primal moment when God breathed Life into Adam. The newborn is drawing Spirit into Matter. Heaven on to Earth. In a two way communication with the Source, it is establishing its Divine Physicalness in order to Play the Game of Life.
It is the baby who decides when the placental breathing is no longer necessary because it has learned to breathe atmospherically. It has learned to breathe energy as well as air. The baby knows exactly how to do this.
This primordial creature has performed the task of birth and breath throughout the millions of years of human development. Its ancient memory has a well worn groove that has only one purpose – to continue the human species.
When the baby has drunk its fill of sweet new air, and is satisfied that it is breathing properly, it sends a message to its mother both chemically and physically. Simply stated – this message says Mother, I am breathing properly, send down my placenta.
The mother then releases an appropriate amount of birth chemicals, including oxytocins and the placenta is born. In an ideal birth, the placenta is left attached to the newborn. It is placed in a clean bag or cloth and over the next 3 to 6 days all the nutrients and primordial energy contained within the placenta will be drawn into the child to strengthen its physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies.
There is no need for any talk of bonding time or learning to breast feed. If the child is laid on the bare skin of the mother’s stomach, it will wriggle to the breast on its own.
Once the placenta has released its nutrients to the baby, he/she then sloths it off at the navel and is ready to begin its journey as an individual spark of the Divine.
I would like to acknowledge Leonard Orr as a pioneer of what is now known as the lotus birth (leaving the placenta attached after birth). I learnt about the importance of the placenta during a training with Leonard in the 80’s. As a result of using gentle birthing methods during the birth of his children, he consequently wrote a book The Healing Power of Birth and Rebirth
The placenta is a source conduit, an Energy Portal, and has its own electromagnetic Force
The purpose of the placenta is:
1. To be a Physical & Energetic receiver of the Cosmic Force that the Energy Body of the fetus uses in conjunction with Earth, Air, Water, Fire to create its
