Reincarnation is the belief that souls are born time and time again, each time in a different body in order to learn valuable lessons for spiritual growth. A past life regression is a way to tap into the subconscious mind in order to retrieve memories of past lives. One of the most common ways this is done is with a past life therapist through use of hypnosis.
What Happens During A Past Life Regression?
Initially, the goal is to place a person in a totally relaxed state. This would mean sitting or laying in a comfortable position and then beginning to take some deep, relaxing breaths. Next, the past life regressionist will begin a guided, visualization process in which the person will be instructed to picture a particular scene in their mind. This could involve descending a set of stairs, with each step allowing the individual to become more and more relaxed.
Another visualization technique involves being in some type of room or building with a series of doors, with each door representing a past life. Different therapists use different techniques. At this point, the key is to enable a person to be relaxed enough to access memories of past lives from their subconscious mind. It is important to note that even though a person is placed under hypnosis, that individual is still completely aware of everything around them.
Once the person begins to explore a past life the therapist may ask some questions to help determine what sex a person was, where the individual lived, the type of clothing they wore, what they did for a living, and what their family was like. Some people are able to recall memories quite easily, while others may only remember a small amount of information.
Benefits Of Recalling Past Lives
Outside of curiosity or looking for proof that reincarnation exists, there are some true benefits that can come from past life regression. For example, some people have deep fears or phobias without any apparent cause. Exploring a past life can reveal the reason for those fears. Perhaps a person has a fear of water even though they've never had any bad experiences associated with water.
During a past life regression that person could recall drowning in a past life. Although that memory isn't in the conscious mind, it still exists in the subconscious mind and the fear of drowning bleeds over into the conscious mind. Once the individual is able to get to the root of the fear and understand it, the fear goes away in many cases.
Recalling past lives can also help a person have a better understanding of particular relationships within a current lifetime. It is believed that certain groups of souls incarnate together over different lifetimes. While in this lifetime it may make no sense why a person is so against a certain family member, particularly because that family member has never done anything malicious to that individual, during a past life regression, that person might recall knowing the family member in the past whereas the family member was cruel or abusive to the individual.
How To Find A Past Life Regressionist
Check to see if there are any hypnosis centers in your area. If so, be sure there is a certified therapist trained in past life regression. A metaphysical bookstore might be able to recommend a therapist. Of course, an internet search should be able to reveal therapists in or around the area.
When seeking a professional to help with past life regression, it's important to distinguish between a therapist who will place you under hypnosis and a psychic who will psychically tell you about past lives.
A past life regression can be interesting and informative. Sometimes, a person can become emotional while recalling certain memories. It's worthy to note that nothing can hurt you while under hypnosis. Whatever has happened in the past remains in the past and for most people, while recalling memories, it's like watching the action take place on a movie screen. For those who believe in reincarnation, being regressed is like opening a window to the past.
