To those ofyouwho have dedicated your lives to thiswork for God andwho treat it with therespect that it must have, I saluteyou ingratitude. May this bookmakeyourwork easierby helping to prepareyourclients and by aligning your own thoughts about Rebirthing with those of us who have written here. Dedication II To my great friends and colleagues who helped me write this book: I have unending appreciation love and respect for you! You constantly enhance my life and the lives of many with the quality of your love and the excellence of your work. Working with you has been, and continues to be, ecstatic for me. I treasure your very existence on this planet every day of my life. The health of a country is determined by its Saints. Acknowledgement I acknowledge my friend and colleague, Vincent Newlin, for the title of this book. He has also written some Rebirthing poetry near the end of the book. The title is appropriate, since most ofusand ourclientswho really stuckwith Rebirthing are now really celebrating life! Rebirthers for several years have been after me to write a new book about Rebirthing, since my first book, whichwaswritten with Leonard, waswritten at the beginning of the Rebirthing movement, and things have im- proved a great deal. Rebirthing has become easier, lighter, definitely less dramatic and a lot more fun than it was in the beginning, becauseall ofuswho began it and teach it areeasier tobewith, lighter, lessdramaticandalotmorefunasaresultof getting rebirthed for years. Our thoughts about the process have also changed. Youwhoarebeginningnowhavetheadvantagethatyoucan probably master it a lot faster than we did because we are now clearenoughtoteachitbetter. Youmightsaythatwefinallygot out of the struggle and into celebrating. VI My Prayer For This Book Oh, please let what I write be something beautiful for God! Oh Babaji, fill me with the truth. Don't let me be run by the ego Let me be a perfect channel for you. Guide my words. Become my body. Become my brain and, especially, become my breath. O, be my rebirther Be my very breath Breathe life inside me so that I can Eliminate death! Vll My Love Letter to You, the Reader It is my extreme pleasure to introduce you to the world of Rebirthing. I feel honored to have been present at the very beginning of the Rebirthing movement, and it is one of the thrills of my life to share it with you. Leonard Orr, the founder of Rebirthing, now prefers to call it Conscious Breathing. BobbyBirdsall, anotheroneofthoseat thebeginning, nowcalls it Motivational Breathing. I am still slightly addicted to the original name, Rebirthing. I like it. That is the truth for me. I wrote an earlier book on Rebirthing called Rebirthing in the New Age with Leonard. It was written at the beginning of Rebirthingwhenwe"pioneers"wereexploringit, wereawedby it, and were trying to understand it. Nowit istime to writeabout it from anewperspective. After seven years, I feel even more in awe of it, even more excited about it, and even morecommitted to it. It nevergetsboring to me. I feel that the deeper you go into the spirit of it, the more interesting it gets. I can only say I want everyone to have the experience. I want everyone to know how it can heal the body, how it brings joy and happiness out, how it increases aliveness and has a youthingeffect on the body, how it increases psychic ability and develops intuitive power, how it releases old hurt, pain and misery, and how it increasesloveandprosperity. Who would not want to have the experience? Who would not want Vlll
