Past Lives

Some people have even used regression to ’go back’ a day simply to find where the lost cars keys are..

Age regression is an aspect of hypnotherapy in which the patient returns to an earlier stage of life in order to explore a memory or to get in touch with some difficult-to-access aspect of their personality. Age progression is sometimes employed in progression as well, allowing the client to project themselves forward to see a desired outcome or the consequences of their current destructive behaviour.

The most common found area of Age regression is in finding a repressed memory. Repressed memory is a significant memory, that has become unavailable for recall. The term is used to describe memories that have been disassociated from awareness as well as those that have been repressed without dissociation, repressed memories may sometimes be recovered years or decades after the event, most often spontaneously, triggered by a particular smell, taste, or other identifier related to the lost memory, or via suggestion during therapy.

Past Life Therapy continues with this practice.

In the early 1900's Psychoanalyst Otto Rank advocated going back further, to the time in the womb. With the increase in hypnotherapy, some therapists discovered that many patients automatically regressed to what seem to be previous lives when asked to find the source of the problem, thus prompting experimentation with regression.

PLT began to take form as a therapy in the 1960’s following the sanctioning of hypnosis as a clinical treatment by the British medical association in 1955 and by the American medical association in 1958.

Many therapists feel that experiences of the client/ patient are not fantasy because a large percentage reported are, dreary and humdrum, not glamorous or exciting.

Past life therapy (PLT) has been proved to be effective in treating phobias, fears, aversions, cravings, guilt, sexual dysfunctions, anger, insomnia, depression, insecurity, low energy, chronic headaches and other pains, disorders, and weaknesses of different parts of the body.

People experiencing PLR often having feelings of meeting a very wise part of themselves, which often continues to help guide and assist them long after the therapy has taken place. People often find changes in certain beliefs or disbeliefs they may have had. Some people gain great understanding with strong views about, karma, the souls journey to perfection, universal law, and self responsibility, and the right of others to carry on as they choose. Many learn of "Good" and "Bad" and all of its relevance in an opportunity to learn grow and understand. Many feel that certain reversals in responsibility are taken to experience situation from all sides. Many names, dates, places have all been researched and found in archives of history, libraries, records etc.

Many people do not need this evidence as proof after experiencing with all senses, seeing, sensing, feeling, knowing, and understanding a past life regression.

Most patients discover that that through circumstances leading to death are sometimes traumatic, death itself seems to be pleasant. It seems that in dying without solving certain issues, those issues then become hidden within the subconscious. The past life death experience is often used for patients with terminal illness to overcome the fear of dying, and in some cases to help to understand within time left how it may be possible to better the purpose of the soul. In regression a great deal of the pain is associated with regret of possible opportunities not taken.

From a Jungian perspective, past lives can be explained as archetypal material, or universal character formations deep within the psyche, which become projected into the conscious as "past Life."

PLT goes beyond traditional psychotherapy. Psychiatrists Carl G. Jung and Sigmund Freud both said that the individuals worst fears, pain, trauma are buried deep within the patients unconscious mind. Freud believed the roots of those problems could be uncovered in early childhood experiences.

The use of PLT as an alternative source of therapy led to the formation of the association for Past Life Research and Therapy (APRT) in riverside, California, in 1980. The great majority of patients who seek PLR often find it to be a immediate release for any (Known or unknown) built up phobias, traumas, or habits of negative tendencies. Therapists are divided as to whether PLR is appropriate for children or not, but its universally agreed to be not suitable for schizophrenics or those who have trouble separating fantasy from reality. Therapists stress that PLT does not necessarily replace conventional treatment, especially medicine. In 1982 psychologist and past life therapist Helen Wambach surveyed APRT therapists concerning there work. She obtained data from twenty six therapists who had being working in the field for an average of 7.2 years and had in total regressed 18,463 patients. According to the findings 94 per cent of all patients regressed to one or more previous lives. A majority said that they experienced an improvement to physical symptoms. Many felt that they found past life karmic ties with individuals in their present life, and were able to release suppressed hostility and guilt, resulting in improvement of present relationships.

Twenty five therapists reported taking their patients through past life deaths. Seventy two per cent of those who went through the experience observed it while floating above their bodies; 54 per cent perceived a white light and moved towards it; 15 per cent reported a tunnel. Of those whose physical problems were connected to death experiences, 60 per cent reported relief of symptoms after going through the relevant death experience.
