Through Time Into Healing

1. Past life regression therapy can heal physical and emotional ailments

Catherine could not possibly know this information. There was no place even to look it up. My father's Hebrew name, that I had a son who died in infancy from a one-in-ten million heart defect, my brooding about medicine, my father's death, and my daughter's naming—it was too much, too specific, too true.

Transformative healing: Past life regression therapy has the potential to heal a wide range of physical and emotional ailments that have resisted conventional treatments. This approach taps into the subconscious mind to uncover the root causes of symptoms, often revealing traumas or experiences from previous lifetimes.

Evidence of effectiveness:

• Rapid resolution of chronic symptoms
• Healing of physical conditions without medication
• Emotional release and resolution of long-standing issues

The therapy works by allowing patients to relive and process traumatic experiences from past lives, leading to a cathartic release and understanding of the underlying causes of their current symptoms. This process often results in immediate and lasting improvements in both physical and emotional well-being.

2. Hypnosis is a state of focused concentration, not a loss of control

When you are hypnotized, you are not asleep. Your conscious mind is always aware of what you are experiencing while you are hypnotized.

Demystifying hypnosis: Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not a state of unconsciousness or loss of control. It is a natural state of focused concentration that we experience daily, such as when absorbed in a good book or driving on autopilot.

Key aspects of hypnosis:

• Heightened focus and concentration
• Increased suggestibility
• Access to subconscious memories and information
• Ability to maintain awareness and control

During hypnosis, the conscious mind becomes more relaxed, allowing easier access to the subconscious. This state facilitates the retrieval of past life memories and enables therapeutic interventions. Patients remain in control throughout the process and can choose to end the session at any time.

3. Relationships often have roots in past lives, influencing current dynamics

We come around in groups, over and over again. We reincarnate with the same people. The group can become quite large, as the number of lifetimes increases, but the core group remains small and fairly constant.

Karmic connections: Many of our current relationships, especially the most significant ones, have roots in past lives. These connections can explain intense attractions, unexplained conflicts, and recurring patterns in our relationships.

Patterns in past life relationships:

• Recurring roles (e.g., parent-child, lovers, enemies)
• Unresolved conflicts carrying over to present lives
• Immediate recognition or strong feelings upon meeting someone

Understanding these past life connections can help resolve current relationship issues by providing context and insight into the underlying dynamics. It can also lead to greater compassion and understanding for the people in our lives, as we recognize the long-standing nature of our connections.

4. Childhood trauma may originate from past life experiences

Laura had indeed been sexually abused by her father and her uncle. From the time she was two, they had fondled and touched her, and had forced her to perform oral sex. This abuse had continued for years.

Layered trauma: Childhood trauma, particularly sexual abuse, can have roots in past life experiences. In some cases, the current life abuse may be a continuation or reflection of patterns established in previous lifetimes.

Insights from past life regression:

• Recognition of abusive patterns across lifetimes
• Understanding of karmic connections with abusers
• Opportunity to break cycles of abuse

By uncovering these past life connections, patients can gain a broader perspective on their trauma, leading to faster and more complete healing. This approach doesn't excuse current life abusers but provides a framework for understanding and breaking long-standing patterns of abuse.

5. Obesity and substance abuse can be linked to past life traumas

"In this life, I needed the extra weight for protection. I needed to guarantee that I would not starve again." After a pause Kathy added, "But now I no longer need this protection."

Protective mechanisms: Obesity and substance abuse often serve as protective mechanisms against past life traumas. These conditions can be manifestations of the soul's attempt to shield itself from remembered pain or deprivation.

Common past life origins:

• Starvation or extreme deprivation
• Physical or sexual abuse
• Traumatic deaths

By uncovering and processing these past life traumas, patients can release the need for these protective behaviors. This understanding often leads to rapid and lasting weight loss or recovery from addiction, as the underlying cause is addressed and resolved.

6. Grief can be healed through understanding the continuity of consciousness

Ultimately, in both obesity and substance abuse and really in any form of suffering, the mechanism of healing involves the process of getting rid of fear.

Transcending loss: Grief can be profoundly healed through the understanding that consciousness continues beyond death. Past life regression therapy provides direct experiences of this continuity, offering comfort and a new perspective on loss.

Benefits of past life understanding in grief:

• Reduction in fear of death
• Recognition of ongoing connections with departed loved ones
• Perspective on the cyclical nature of relationships across lifetimes

This approach to grief doesn't negate the pain of loss but provides a broader context that can bring comfort and acceptance. It allows the grieving to maintain a sense of connection with their loved ones while moving forward in their own lives.

7. Mystical experiences during regression can lead to profound personal growth

Suddenly I had a feeling of great peace and joy. I felt immensely safe and secure, and the world seemed to be in perfect order. The gardener, the trees, and everything else I could see were luminous and glowing.

Transformative insights: Mystical experiences during past life regression can lead to profound personal growth and spiritual awakening. These experiences often provide direct insight into the nature of reality and our place in it.

Characteristics of mystical experiences:

• Sense of oneness with the universe
• Profound peace and joy
• Heightened perception and awareness
• Insights into the nature of reality and consciousness

These experiences can lead to lasting changes in perspective, values, and behavior. They often result in increased compassion, reduced fear of death, and a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in life.

8. Dreams and meditation can unlock past life memories

Dreams often contain clues about past lives. Not all dreams are Freudian dreams with symbols, distortions, and wish-metaphors. Some dreams convey literal past life memories.

Accessing the subconscious: Dreams and meditation provide powerful tools for accessing past life memories. These states of consciousness allow the subconscious mind to communicate information about previous incarnations.

Techniques for past life recall:

• Keeping a dream journal
• Practicing meditation and visualization
• Analyzing recurring themes in dreams
• Using guided meditation for past life exploration

By regularly engaging in these practices, individuals can gradually uncover and explore their past life experiences. This self-directed approach can complement formal past life regression therapy or serve as a standalone method for personal growth and self-discovery.

9. Self-observation and déjà vu experiences may reveal past life connections

Have you ever had a strange feeling of "having been there before" when first visiting a place?

Recognizing past life echoes: Self-observation and déjà vu experiences can provide valuable clues about past life connections. By paying attention to unexplained preferences, skills, or reactions, individuals can begin to uncover their past life histories.

Potential indicators of past life connections:

• Unexplained fears or phobias
• Unusual talents or interests
• Strong attractions or aversions to specific cultures or places
• Déjà vu experiences
• Recurring dreams or themes

By exploring these experiences and sensations, individuals can gain insights into their past lives and current life purposes. This self-awareness can lead to greater understanding of personal patterns and motivations, facilitating growth and healing.
