Past Life Regression With Hypnosis

Past life regression is, in theory, a means of going back and visiting an experience from a supposed former existence. Some people believe that it's possible to recall, with the help of hypnosis, our personal experiences from a time before our current life. I personally don't believe in this phenomenon. The unconscious mind is a very powerful thing, and it has stored millions and millions of tiny bits of seemingly irrelevant information, but that data is there, it exists in the unconscious mind, and I believe that what people call a past life regression is really the unconscious mind playing out.

You often hear stories of past lives and there have been many books written on the subject, but they never offer any real specific data or facts. Typically when we hear of a past life story, it involves a person who was supposedly a high profile personality of some kind, like a king or queen, or some other sort of admirable profession. You never hear tell of a story where someone was a sewer worker in a past life. The relevance here is that often times the past life described by the client reflects something that they currently desire or admire in their life. In other words, whatever they believe their role to have been in their past life, it's usually something they admire or have a fascination with today.

What I do believe however, is that people can have an experience which they believe is a past life regression. When this is the case, if this experience somehow serves the person or proves therapeutic for them, then so be it. If a client comes to me with the idea that a regression will somehow help him, or somehow be beneficial to him, then I will travel down that road. If a client has a problem which they feel is based on events in their past life, and they come to me with the belief that a regression will help them, I will do it because whether the experience is real or imagined, that kind of therapy can be helpful.

I will and I would conduct a regression for a client if they believe it will be beneficial to them, because it's their belief system that matters and they control their own therapy. However, I would never produce a self hypnosis recording to induce past life regression. Certainly such recordings have been produced and are available through other sources, but it doesn't form part of my make-up, or what I believe.
