How did you feel during the Rebirthing session itself?
Effie ( High School Student ) : During the session i felt relaxed and clear. I felt more motivated to reach the goals i have set for myself and a big amount of support from Xenia.
Mary ( Architect ) : During the Rebirthing i felt totally safe with the sureness and support of Xenia.
Irini ( Sound Engineer ) : Like i was in my mother's womb! I felt much safety, strength and infinite tranquility. I feel like my emotions were so extremely positive that no-one will believe me! I can't wait for the next one!
How do you feel now, having done the Rebirthing?
( Please note that Rebirthing works cumulatively and is complete within 1-3 sessions. This interview was conducted for the sake of a magazine article, after only one session. Of course the positive results recorded here remained and became even more pronounced as the healing was completed. )
Effie : I feel more self-confident. I notice that i can relax and get rid of stress more easily and that i am more open to the positive influence of others. I am more often and more intensely happy than before.
( Effie was having frequent nightmares and was afraid to sleep in the house on her own. She was also carrying a lot of stress about her studies, being in her final two years of high school, something which had created a constant buzzing sound in her ears. For this she had tried homeopathy without any results.
Even though she was an attractive young woman who could have been a lot more sociable than she was, she was shy and self-critical and so spent most of her time studying for school and alone, without the added enjoyment and added productivity which a more social life would bring, spending even her school breaks during the day alone.
By the time we finished the sessions the buzzing in her ears had stopped along with her nightmares. Her fear of sleeping alone in the house was getting progressively weaker and had subsided to the degree that she could now do so. She began to appreciate herself and her time alone as well as with others. She began to go out with her classmates, something which until now she had never done and this brought much needed balance and joy to her life. She did very well in her final exams and got into the University she had her sights set on. Her life became more open and interesting and she discovered many personal strengths hitherto unknown to herself. )
Mary : After the Rebirthing i felt full of energy to continue my day, i felt centred, strong, calm and joyful. The rememberance of the calm strength i found with Rebirthing is with me still and helps me to be generally more calm. I am certainly going to have a second session.
Irini : Let me give you an example: totally by chance came positive proof of my new emotional freedom. I responded in the most natural and composed way to a person in a situation that under old circumstances would have made me frantic and totally beside myself. I used to read about these types of experiences and feel they were fairytales - if you don't live it yourself it's hard to understand just how positive it is! I have read many self-help books - they took me to a certain point. They helped me to be open to Rebirthing but Rebirthing is what freed me.

Please note : The Rebirthing being discussed here is not to be confused with any other form of Rebirthing. This particular technique is the one taught and practised by Petrene Soames and her students, myself included, and is a totally unique, powerful and profound experience that works and is completed, amazingly, within a series of 1-3 sessions. You can read more about it on the main rebirthing page.
