Is Past Life Regression Therapy for You?
The first question you’ want to answer as you read this piece is: Is Past Life Regression Relevant for you? There is a good reason why people are very curious about this unique form of therapy. They wonder if it can help them in some way to figure out problems that have dogged them for their entire lives; whether it is pure bunk or a significant part of the puzzle that makes them who they are, and who they are becoming.
I don’t have that “answer” per se. I do know that the vast majority of the people with whom I have done past life regression have had profound, even moving experiences. I only know this because the vast majority expressed deep gratitude afterwards. And indeed, how could their experience not have been meaningful, really. The answer is for each of us to decide for ourselves. In my own experience with Past Life Regression many years ago, the lessons resonated for many years after, always in positive ways.
The following is one pre-induction talk that I have with the client, with variations. I include it here to give you a sense of what the goal is during a Past Life Regression session.
A PLR Pre-Induction Discussion
Is there any issue that you’d like up work on during or around this session?
It means looking at your projected future in terms of your past behavior. An event or a behavior which occurred in the past could be repeated, in essence, with minor, predictable changes. A philosophy or an attitude upon which a behavior is based might change only slightly over many lifetimes.
Regression work can be a reflection upon the soul’s journey. Your reflection upon the past can bring meaning, understanding, and insight to the present and it can reveal implications for working with related issues in the future.
Past-life recall comes from long-term memory banks. The soul’s history is stored in the Akashic Records which you’re able to contact to through your unconscious mind. In this session you will have an opportunity to gain access to your record, particularly to the section related to . . . (the presenting issue). Lessons from the past will come to your awareness and, when you observe a pattern of behavior, you will be able to develop a way to take corrective action.
Our focus today is going to be the reviewing of another life for the purpose of finding attitudes or events related to your current issue. You also might find your reason for coming to earth—then and now. Everybody comes with a purpose in mind. We’ll focus on your need to understand how this issue of . . . got started and how you handled it in another life.
To get started, it is good to focus on an issue because the unconscious mind, for the most part, tends to respond to words and images that carry an emotional charge. Remembering such things as your previous name, the place where you lived, and what you did for a living–whether you were royalty or a slave are of only minor importance. Should such information arise spontaneously, that will be fine; otherwise, the seeking of such data need be done only when it is important to the understanding of the situation. The important learning involves your spiritual progress. It might seem as if you have a memory archeologist who is guiding you to dig through the strata and substrata of the soul’s memory and, as you seek, you gather the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical fragments.
Your unconscious mind has had the information stored in symbols for a long time. Now, some deep memories are ready to be processed at the conscious level. Bringing those memories to conscious awareness is only the beginning of the process. During and after the trance part of the session, you’ll gain some insights and you’ll be able to identify a pattern of behavior. You’ll be able to make a choice to take deliberate action to make changes in your life. After today’s session, you’ll realize that you have a lot of knowledge, understanding, insight, skills, strength, and support.
In hypnosis work, we use positive affirmations to help you to focus your attention on achieving your goal: What affirmations would you like for me to repeat to you? (If the client does not have affirmations prepared, then it can be done at this time.)
Recordings on Past Life Work
Because so many people lately have asked me about the process, I have recorded this series of directives on Past Life Regression to help you make up your own mind if it’s something that is right for you. For instance, can Past Life Regression Benefit You? How does it work? Where do Past Life Memories come from? Is it possible that your child is, even now, experiencing past lives and using those memories as part of their play world. You may find it relevant to read PLR recording # 4: When Your Chile Remember Past Lives.
One thing is sure: Past Life Regression Therapy is a fascinating topic if nothing else. Hey, it’s what got me interested in hypnosis in the the first place. Truth? My Past Life Regression session did NOT disappoint! Let me know if you’d like to explore it with me. And if you’re still on the fence on hypnosis, here’s a link to two talks on hypnosis that I did as well.
