Program Overview

Breathe for Life!   

… the Transformational Breath®

​

            Transformational Breath is one of several Breathwork modalities that evolved from the Rebirthing Breath, a connected breath discovered by Leonard Orr in the early 1970s. The healing power of this connected breath was further developed by many, including Dr. Judith Kravitz, co-creator of the Transformational Breath process, and founder of the Transformational Breath Foundation (TBF).

            Although effective use of the connected breath is a key ingredient of the healing power of Transformational Breath, Dr. Judith Kravitz has added to the connected breath several other healing modalities that greatly enhance the success of the connected breath in transforming stuck energies in the body-mind into more useful forms of life energy. For example, the use of toning is especially helpful to beginners in moving through physical, mental or emotional discomfort that may surface during a connected breathing session. In addition, evocative music as well as a bodywork system and related affirmations are integral parts of the Transformational Breath process.

            Dr. Judith Kravitz has added several other components that enhance greatly the healing power of Transformational Breath. For more details, see Dr. Judith Kravitz's excellent book, "Breathe Deep, Laugh Loudly", describing the Transformational Breath process in detail, or visit the Transformational Breath Foundation website.

            A typical Transformational Breath session lasts 40 to 60 minutes, and starts with the breather lying on their back in a comfortable position.
