Past Life Regression
The idea that we have lived before exists through out many cultures and religions. The belief is that we are incarnated here in this life to learn from our experiences and in doing so we progress on a spiritual level.
Each lifetime brings its own challenges and rewards, depending on how we deal with each situation we are given, it is also believed that the links and bonds we have made in one life are continued in the lives that follow. For example your wife in your previous life could be your best friend in this. We are born we live and we die and then return to the source to start the process again. Our memories of these events are hidden deep within our subconscious minds, the reason for this is that as a child coming into the world, the process of dealing with our feelings and memories from our past lives and adjusting to our present would be to confusing. There are also physical conditions that can be carried forward from manifest in this life as a similar or related condition, if a person died of a breathing condition such as TB, then perhaps in this life they would feel the effects in the form of asthma or similar.
Hypnosis has been found to be a very safe and effective way of accessing the thoughts feelings and images, stored in our unconscious mind. There are many myths and misconceptions about what Past Life Regression actually is and what happens, and these have been further confused by stage hypnotism. The one thing you can be assured of is that anyone can be regressed.
Regardless of your personal faith or belief, regression can work for you through gentle and relaxing hypnosis unlocking doors in your mind to understand how past lives can be influencing who you are now. Have you ever coined the phrase "I am sure I am paying for something in a past life" when things are not going quite right for you, or perhaps you have met a stranger and felt that you knew them, maybe you have visited a place and had that feeling of deja vu? Often people and places are important in our lives in helping in our progression and experiences we are here to gain. Sometimes we bring traumatic experiences into this life from a past life, resulting in irrational fears, phobias or behaviour. Under regression these issues can be dealt with so that they can no longer have any effect. It is documented that we have can experience many lifetimes and there are certainly plenty of books available on the subject.
