This event was one of those wonderful occurrences in which the assistants received just as much benefit as the participants. 50 people attended Leonard’s lecture on Friday night, and 43 populated the rebirthing process on Saturday. Participants and assistants alike were drawn from the Los Angeles Men’s Center and the rebirthing circle, and first-time rebirthers were joined by veterans of more than 30 years’ experience. The two groups had a lot in common and easily blended into one well-connected community.
Leonard’s lecture on Friday night was centered around the 5 aspects of a complete life: spiritual, physical, social, economic, and political, and how we can best bring each of these aspects to healthy fruition. In addition, Leonard spoke of attaining spiritual purification, ridding oneself of emotional energy pollution (EEP), and overcoming the death urge. This is accomplished using air (breathing in energy as well as air), water (bathing twice a day), fire (cleansing the energy body by proximity to fire or meditation on candles), and earth (quality vegetarian diet, fasting, exercise). The group repeated affirmations dealing with retarding and reversing aging, preventing illness, and living in harmony with the universe.
Saturday’s rebirthing exercises were quite productive. A trained assistant accompanies each team of two rebirthers, and an atmosphere of safety and trust pervaded. There were two sessions, morning and afternoon, followed by a period of sharing what arose for some of the rebirthers and assistants.
Many of the participants expressed a desire to continue their rebirthing practices, and Dr. Johnson promised to look into more events for men and women in addition to the rebirthing opportunities provided by the Sacred Path men’s workshops and retreats.
