Past Life Regression
09/16/2009
Past life regression is a type of hypnosis in which a person is gently lead through hypnosis back to an earlier time in their life or to an earlier life (if one believes that is possible). Some clients experience this as if watching a movie and others feel as if it actually is happening to them. Whether it’s your subconscious’s mind that sends you on a journey to a different time and place or you actually believe that your spirit travels back in time to another life, I believe there is some value in it for the client.
I’ve had many clients come to me and ask to be regressed so that they can “see” who there were in a previous life. In the past, I did that quite often. But it never changed anything for the person in this life. When I began working with clients who had some fear or phobia that they weren’t able to get rid of through the regular types of therapy, they would come to me for regression. Some of the stories that these clients describe while hypnotized and regressed are so unique, that it’s hard for me to believe that they made it up. Their voices often change, the words they use change, and sometimes there’s a marked difference in the way their bodies appear. Several of my clients later reported being able to be in crowded areas or be able to swim with their face in the water (things they could never do prior to being regressed).
Brian Weiss, MD, brought the practice of past life regression into the public eye with his various books, the best known is his first book, Many Lives, Many Masters. If you’re interested in finding out more about past life regression, I suggest you read the book.
