Breathe Into the Fire (cont'd)

Using a deep connected breath for approximately one hour, the Rebirthing process opens the body's energy channels and accelerates the flow of creativity and intuition. Our sessions were always done with a partner and led by expert facilitators. Afterward, feeling totally euphoric, we were pampered with snugly blankets, herbal tea and nutritious treats.

On one of these debriefing times, I felt as if I were glued to the chair while words to a song downloaded into my awareness. I was compelled to sing them to the group since we all had shared the breathing experience. My first thought was, “I don't write songs like that!” Two weeks later, I was asked to join a Women in Leadership Retreat in Victoria, BC, hosted by Rhonda Johnson. All airline flights were booked and so I took the slow 20-hour bus trip to the coast. The remaining lyrics for “Breathe Into the Fire” were given to me and I wrote them down on post notes.

I finally arrived at the workshop as Rhonda was leading a woman through an emotional process. Rhonda looked at me and said, “Judy, I feel that you have a song to sing for her right now."  And so, with post notes in hand, I sang and improvised “Breathe Into the Fire”. This piece is all about 'surrender' which means that when I sing Breathe, I am asked to open, trust and let go.
