And not only does it weigh heavily, it causes disease, according to rebirthing therapists Pauline Avis and David McNab. In Healing Disease with Rebirthing, they explain that illness is the result of negative emotions and beliefs that imprint themselves on the subconscious mind and cellular structure. Of all the modalities, from mainstream psychotherapy to alternative treatments, Avis and McNab see rebirthing as the most effective way to transform energy blockages that cause dis- ease and inhibit personal potential. Recent shameful intrusions by the New Zealand "medical/media mafia" against a family seeking alternative cancer therapies got Avis and McNab fired up to write their book. In it, they bare intimate details of their own healing journeys and tell of their often frus- trating experiences with the medical estab- lishment and media. They relate the amaz- ing stories of clients who have rid them- selves of cancer, congenital disease and childhood trauma through this simple but powerful breathing technique. Rebirthing therapy has only been in exis- tence for 25 years, but myths have already grown up around it. Here, the authors dispel those myths and explain the technique and how it works. Dealing with unresolved birth trauma is just one of its healing potentials, for it allows all kinds of deeply suppressed pain to be brought into conscious awareness, confronted and then dissolved. Avis and McNab are passionate about rebirthing's powers for self-healing and transformation. Their book will make you see the technique in a new light.
