Overview

Past Life Regression is a tool for re-experiencing the lives that we have lived before this current lifetime. It is a guided journey within in order to access our soul's memories of who, what and where we have been in previous incarnations. It is based on a belief in reincarnation, the concept that a part of us never dies and is born again and again into countless existences. The majority of cultures throughout the world believe in reincarnation and those that do not, believe that there is some kind of existence beyond death.

History

The history of past life regression is intimately connected with many of the ancient religious traditions of the cultures that held a belief in reincarnation and past lives.

This includes the early Judeo-Christian culture. Past life regression as a therapy tool, has a relatively recent history.

By the 1980’s the Association for Past-Life Therapy and Research was founded, in response to the need of the rising number of professionals who use the methods and techniques in their therapy work. Regression therapy is a rapidly evolving and dynamic field of therapy and research, including traditional as well as non-traditional modalities of helping and healing.

Benefits

It can for instance, be very therapeutic in uncovering the physical or emotional issues that we may have in this lifetime. Many people are born with physical or emotional scars that do not seem to have any connection to their experiences. Explanations for these issues that we bring into this life are often found in past life experiences. The recall of this information can often lead to the spontaneous healing of these problems.

Some people rediscover talents or abilities that they had in previous lifetimes. It is not uncommon for a person who is revisiting a past life to speak in the language of that time, or to describe a method of performing a task that is no longer used today. These types of events certainly give credence to the past life experience but the importance of this kind of memory recall is the rekindling of the knowledge or skills that can be beneficial to their current lifetimes.

Procedure

Under hypnosis it is possible to envision what seems to be a memory from a time other than the life you are presently living. Many of these experiences appear to give credence to the theory of reincarnation.

To experience this, the hypnotherapist guides the client backward in time, through the birth experience and out the other side - usually entering another life time, usually as a witness to their own apparent death. The client may find they are looking out from the perspective of someone else's eyes.
