BioDynamic Breath Therapy (TM), created by Rohi and Giten, was inspired by their training in Osho’s meditative therapies.
Osho, a contemporary master of meditation from India, designed this body-oriented psychotherapy. Also drawing on the work of German psychologist Wilhelm Reich and Bioenergetics founder Alexander Lowen (US), BioDynamic Breath Therapy is a synthesis of rebirthing, regression, hypnosis, and meditation, as well as conscious movement and bodywork.
Learning occurs on many levels. You may observe that when there is a strong feeling of fear or pain, you unconsciously hold your breath. When there is a strong feeling of pleasure or joy, you naturally take full, deep breaths. Just as our emotions immediately influence our breathing, we can in turn stimulate and observe our emotional habits by consciously using specific breathing patterns. Accompanied by therapeutic touch, this approach dramatically opens the internal flow of energy in the body, allowing for a deeper experience of personal power, self-love, and awareness.
What is most unique about this innovative technique is that it allows you to move at your own individual pace. Finding pathways to charge up the body and break through conditioned patterns, you naturally dissolve chronically tense physical and mental habits, integrating both conscious and unconscious aspects of the mind. Beyond simply reducing your stress levels, it actually strengthens your entire system and bolsters your overall immunity and health.
The average breath sessions usually last one to two hours. After a brief assessment, you breathe for approximately forty-five minutes with the supportive presence of a BioDynamic Breath Therapist. You may enter a deeply relaxed state in which you can fully express emotions and memories stored in your body, without the usual distractions from your mind. Emotions may emerge in catharsis, with the release of intense anger or sadness, or may take the form of ‘melting,’ in which subtle feelings from early life experiences come to the surface. Many times breath sessions open a joyful, expansive feeling, best described by many as a feeling akin to a whole-body release.
A key component to BioDynamic Breath Therapy is the accompanying support system, which is comprised of Osho Active Meditations and group work. Incorporating bioenergetics, dance movement and interactive exercises, these techniques are designed to assist in the integration of the breath session long after the session is over. A truly holistic approach -- it creates a balanced platform for accelerated healing -- eliminating the need for drawn-out years of talk-therapy sessions. Through becoming aware of your patterns of breathing, you can consciously release your non-supportive habits, become grounded in your present reality, and open to greater freedom of expression and radiant health.
