Past Life Regression Can Help You Access Parts of Yourself
Past life regression (PLR) therapy is rooted in the theory that we are eternal beings who carry forward learning and experiences from one human lifetime to another. As eternal souls, we experience physical life on Earth in a series of human bodies with personalities. On a soul, or astral level, we choose each life and *return* as a means of learning certain lessons. Even if you believe we only ‘come around once’, the stories elicited by this therapeutic approach often serve as powerful symbolic metaphors for the issues and situations we may be facing in the present time.
Whether we are uncovering “real” past lives or simply releasing our imaginative powers, this approach has helped many people resolve issues and get past stuck points that were resistant to other healing modalities. In addition, it’s an intriguing way to experience hitherto unexplored aspects of your self and personality. Of course, not all problems and issues are based on the experiences from prior lifetimes. It is crucial to distinguish when we have a current life issue that needs to be addressed through other means.
Traditional Uses for PLR
- Troubling patterns of behavior and/or attitudes that have proved resistant to change over time.
- Relationship dynamics, such as intense attraction/aversion to another person; deep-seated issues that defy resolution.
- Phobias – intense fears, such as fear of heights or fear of water that seem unconnected to any experience in the current life.
- Certain chronic physical ailments, sensations and pains
- Dominant attitudes or emotions that do not serve you but that seem to persist throughout your life.

- Clarifying direction and life purpose by viewing our blueprint for this lifetime
- Finding prior lifetimes shared with current loved ones, bringing a great sense of reassurance that we are indeed never parted from those we love
- Strengthening the clarity of our path in this life, whatever that might be.
