A BIOGRAPHY ON LEONARD ORR – FOUNDER OF REBIRTHING
by Pola Churchill

THE STORY OF REBIRTHING-–--CHAPTER ONE
"Who the hell is Leonard Orr? Is he still alive? What are you writing a book about him for? Did he disappear to India, and live in a cave with all those immortal yogis he was studying? What concoction of revolutionary ideas has he come up with this time?
    Isn't he the guru that made his first million dollars selling air? Wasn't he the one that used to give prosperity seminars in the seventies, and wear dollar notes pinned to his jumper, and people would line up to pay him $100 bills ? Oh yes, I remember him, I went to one of his seminars that he was leading, he picked his nose and then he fell asleep in the middle of the lecture! Where is he now?"'

These are all questions people asked me in response to Leonard. I had never met Leonard Orr, the Founder of Rebirthing, author, visionary, international lecturer, creative genius, immortalist and senility graduate before; but that was enough to raise my curiosity and go down to Staunton Virginia for the yearly rebirthing convention in July and participate in the five day training. What do I need to do another training for? What am I doing here? Well, all of those questions were answered immediately on arrival. It seems that Babaji's teachings of truth, simplicity, and love, are practiced big time, by this well respected healer and teacher.
    Leonard exudes an unusual mixture of being so ordinary and down to earth, yet so mystical and profound. Just being in his presence is healing and cathartic. The training was very powerful, and Leonard and his staff, provide a safe environment to heal and transform, for your highest potential. I ended up staying for one month at the training center, and later on that year, we all went on a trip with Leonard to Nepal. 

Let me tell you a little bit about Leonard's background. Leonard was a born again Christian, and majored in Bible and philosophy. His books are revolutionary and very transformational, and they cover topics on health and rebirthing, healing, philosophy, psychology, business, prosperity and consciousness, physical immortality, and government without taxes, and democracy. 
    His books are published in over ten languages, he is an internationally famous lecturer, and has traveled the world ten times. 
    Rebirthing is a safe, gentle and powerful healing technique. Not only does it release your birth trauma, but clears all your conscious and subconscious, emotional, physical and negative beliefs out of your body on a cellular level. 
    It also reverses the aging process. In this process you connect the inhale breath to the exhale breath, without any pauses in a relaxed rhythm, in one continuous circular movement. One session could take one to two hour, according to the individual's completion of the energy cycle. This allows us increased divine energy, more clarity, better health, and an overall sense of well being and happiness. The breath is a portal to heaven.

This is Leonard's story on rebirthing: "Rebirthing is a word that has many meanings. For me, rebirthing has two main definitions – one is learning to breath energy as well as air; the other is to unravel the birth/death cycle.
