Past life regression through hypnotherapy is an intense and amazing experience. With hypnosis and a skilled hypnotherapist, an individual can access their past lives and learn about the many ways they lived on this planet thousands of years ago. Accessing this knowledge can help one understand the choices, fears, patterns, and people that make up today’s life. This process is especially useful when used to address important issues or problems we face in this life.
Belief in past lives presupposes…
There are many competing belief systems regarding human consciousness and the concept of the soul. Atheism advocates a scientific model that reduces consciousness to the evolution of chemical processes stored and activated by the brain and body. When these fail, consciousness is over; there is no soul and never has been.
Many religious systems recognize the soul and offer a binary option of eternal bliss or eternal damnation, usually as a reward for good behavior or as a deterrent to bad behavior. But all in all, a person gets one chance to get it right or wrong.
In either case, between atheism and the “one shot at heaven or hell,” good moral behavior must wage an uphill battle against hedonism, narcissism, and selfishness. It’s hard to believe in caring for the planet when deep down you think you only have “one chance” at life. If you are only here once, make the most of it by consuming as much as possible in every way possible.
But what if Earth and this dimension are a classroom for learning that you visit and revisit to gain as much knowledge and experience as your soul needs to fully understand the complexities of consciousness. What if you recognized that you return to this world again and again? Would you want to leave it in a better or worse condition than you found it?
And what if part of your belief included the idea that immoral or harmful behavior would lead to more difficult circumstances upon your return? You know, consequences, but not so severe that you can’t save yourself. In fact, the soul is meant to experience and want to experience all possible situations and outcomes. Living richly on one visit may be one of your worst experiences, while living richly on another visit may be one of your best.
Finally, belief in past lives presupposes that the soul wants and needs to improve, which it cannot do without making mistakes and having time and space to correct mistakes. With such a thought in mind, it is believed that the difficulties you face in this life exist to help you address and correct problems from a past life. Oh, and you can also create new difficulties, exclusive to this life, that you will have to correct in the future.
A past life problem instead of a current life problem
A past life problem is usually easiest to identify in a current life fear that has no trigger in the current life. I’ve always had an irrational fear of the ocean, even though I’ve never had a bad experience with the ocean or even spent much time there. Certainly, I didn’t actually see the coast until I was almost eleven and my memory of the experience is quite mundane. I walked along the edge of the shore and only went in up to my knees. But even then I could feel a deep fear that kept me from going further in and I was more than happy to leave when we finally went home.
Because the belief in past lives presupposes that experiences travel with our souls from life to life, we continually accumulate, build and dissolve countless karmic threads during each return. So why not remember everything consciously? Why do we need to go into a hypnotic state to access past lives? How do you think you would handle multiple lifetimes of knowledge while also trying to navigate this lifetime; we would be overwhelmed. So until we develop even more conscious refinement, we keep our past lives hidden away until we discover the technology or need to access it.
Approaching a past life regression session
There are essentially two ways to approach a past life regression session. You may enter it with the intention of addressing a current life problem. I have done many past life regressions and in one of them I went to the session to learn about my fear of the ocean. In that regression, I went back 1,500 years to India and found myself living in a village that was experiencing a plague. The village was near the coast and the plague killed everyone except me.
Perhaps the plague would have eventually killed me too, but in my desperate state I swam into the ocean far enough from shore to ensure I would drown, and so I did. I worked with a truly gifted hypnotherapist who was tied to me the entire trip and she asked me an important question before I got to the moment of my drowning. She asked, “Do you want to experience the drowning again, or just watch yourself drown, as if you were watching from above?” I chose the second way to see that death in that life.
After that session, I wouldn’t say that I suddenly wanted to go swimming in the ocean, or that the fear was completely gone. There is good reason to fear the ocean, but there is also reasonable and unreasonable fear. I no longer felt the irrational fear and was grateful that I knew where the fear came from.
Another way to approach a past life regression is to be open. When you are open, you move toward a life that is important in your current life. It could be to show you something you need to address in this life, or it could reveal some knowledge you need to develop. I’ve experienced both.
One showed me why my father and I had such a wonderful and easy bond in this life; we have had the connection before, and it is an agreement we have made as souls. Another showed me the recurring role I accept and fulfill as a spiritual advisor, something I have done during my many returns to the planet.
If you are dealing with a difficult experience, frustrating behavior, or just want to know a lot more about your own soul, then you should definitely look for a hypnotherapist who can safely guide you through the past life regression you need. have for healing, wisdom, and clarity.
