Important Aspects Of Past Life Regression Therapy

By Jose Young


Many world religions teach us that the soul is the most important part of our existence. The soul, they say, is an immortal component of our existence that continues to exist even after we die. Past life regression therapy is based on this belief. That our souls were there before our present bodies came into existence. We (in the form of souls) have lived multiple life times before the memories of which are hidden in our unconscious minds.

Proponents of this therapy claim that unlocking the memories of our past lives times can help us deal with many of the challenges that we are faced with in our current lives. One of the areas in which it has been tried include the attainment of healing for a variety of mental and physical illness. It is also reported to be beneficial in handling relationship challenges and in the achievement of personal growth.

The main similarity between this technique and hypnotherapy is that both require the client to go into a state of trance. While in this state, the therapist will make suggestions that help the client to unlock the memories within their unconscious mind. A similar technique termed past life reading is slightly different because it is more of a passive process and has no therapeutic benefits.

Different persons have similar or differing accounts of their experiences. The memories may come vividly to the client (as if they are watching a movie), or may just be experienced as vague flashes. Memories may also be experienced by other senses such as smell (burning rubber, sweet smelling flowers, for example), auditory (such as a gunshot, music and a crying baby) or gustatory (sweet, salty or bitter taste). Put simply, persons get 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 aspects of our lives that are likely to be influenced in one way or the other include relationships, physical and mental health and personal achievements. Positive memories tend to act as a source of inspiration and bring out talents in people. They also help people to gain more wisdom. Their most important role is said to be their ability to make people fully understand their life purpose. Negative patterns usually contribute to negative behaviors.

When you visit the therapist, you may be asked to choose a specific objective. Since the past is so huge and varied, having a specific intention helps in opening the doors only to the memories that are relevant to a specific situation. Such may include questions about specific circumstances in your life, unexplained illnesses, and troubled relationships and so on. Adopting this approach also makes it possible for us to put the memories that come to use in context.

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.
