Some Basics About Past Life Regression Therapy

By Jose Young


Many religions teach us that we are made up of three components; a spirit, a soul and a physical body. Of the three, only the soul is immortal. Past life regression therapy also makes this assumption. That our souls have traveled through multiple lifetimes and the memories of what happened in each of them is hidden in our unconscious minds. The therapy is considered a form of hypnotherapy because of the similarity in the techniques used.

Therapist who practice in this area say that accessing the memories of our past lives can go a long way into dealing with modern day challenges. Such memories are believed to help us in receiving healing for a number of mental and physical illnesses. They are also useful in resolving social challenges such as those that relate to interpersonal relationships. Undergoing regular therapeutic sessions helps attain better personal growth.

The technique is similar to hypnotherapy in that the client enters a state of trance. Under the influence of suggestions made by the therapist, they experience their past lives by seeing, feeling, sensing the events. It is different from past life reading which refers to the passive process of undergoing the same without physically experiencing the events. Past life reading does not have any therapeutic effects.

The experiences differ between different people. Whereas the memories may come as vivid events for some people, others only see vague flashes. They may also come in form of auditory stimuli (such as a blast, a crying baby, music and so on), gustatory (bitter or sweet taste) or some form of familiar smell such as that of something burning or a nice aroma. In short, it is a full-sensory experience.

The events that are locked up in our memory have a strong influence on our current lives. They affect us in many ways but we are hardly aware of their effect. The influences may be of a positive or a negative nature. The patterns that tend to have a strong influence include broken vows, achievements, emotional debts, lost love, traumatic or sudden deaths and so on.

The areas of our lives that are most likely to be affected include interpersonal relationships, achievements and personal health (both mental and physical). The positive memories are important because they help persons to bring out the best of themselves. This may include, for example, discovering and growing talents and gaining wisdom. Their most important influence is said to be the ability to help people understand their life purpose better. Negative patterns, in contrast, lead to unwanted behaviors.

The therapist will advise that you choose one objective. This is because there are many memories that may come flooding if one keeps the session open. Putting all these memories in context presents a major challenge. The specific objective may be related to questions related to issues such as interpersonal relationships, achievements, illnesses, talents and so on.

Put simply, regression therapies help to heal the soul by dealing with the past. Making the past memories conscious helps in identifying those that should be released (the negative ones) and those that should be reinforced (the positive patterns). Today, the therapy is increasingly being recognized as an effective method of spiritual healing.
