A Guide To Past Life Regression

We recommend that you should become friendly, develop rapport and tell your mentor your major problems even if he does not explore in detail because his suggestions are guided by the content you reveal before him. Always remember that your guide is a human being whose services you are seeking because of his understanding and experience. He is there to assist you in solving your problems. You do not have to be afraid of him and engage in any power game.

Expectation of Total Loss of Awareness/Sleep:

Please note that there shall not be a total loss of awareness during past life regression; instead there shall be dual awareness: (a) awareness of past experiences and (b) awareness of current external environment like people whispering around you, doors being opened. Also you would not be asleep during the experience of past life regression.

How to Ensure Whether You Were in Trance:

You may request your guide prior to the session to conduct arm levitation, arm rigidity and eye lock test for trance. If you pass the test; you may feel assured that you were in trance. If you were not able to pass the test; may be that you are in analytical mode at that point of time.

Recommendations for Analytical Persons:

If you find yourself an analytical person, then you should remember that this designation is not of permanent nature. The suggestibility component may appear and manifest itself later on. Our recommendations are (1) procure a self-hypnosis audio and listen to it for a few weeks (2) be more open, co-operative and collaborative with your therapist so that your mind comes to trust the process (3) try to explore if you are harbouring any myth and get it clarified (4) freely discuss about your understanding, concepts and expectations with your guide (5) try to cultivate “samarpan bhav” to your guide (6) try to refrain from applying your logic and analysis during the process of regression as it can be done later on after the experience. This is also necessary because you are not seeking past life regression services for your active analysis and comparisons during the trance. The context of trance and regression narrows down your concentration and active critical faculties, hence you may not be able to analyze the situations completely at that point of time. So try to experience the session and collect your trance experiences in their pure form without applying much logic to them (7) try to get absorbed in your feelings, sensations and visualizations during trance keeping your evaluations and judgement aside (8) take a break for a few weeks and present again to your guide. Remember that analytical mindset is inhibitory to the process of past life regression and you should not expect a deeper level of experience.

Mode of Revelations in Regression:

Wide variations are observed in regression experiences across individuals. The possible modes are – full visualizations like a movie; partial visualizations like a slide show; fragmentary and partial glimpses of past life, feelings as if the experiences are being imagined actively; not sure whether it was a true regression or simply a creation of imagination, comparisons of revelations with one’s known and past experiences; an experience of simple ideas with or without any visual images (Khyal sa aa raha hai; kuchh dikh nahi raha hai); altered feelings; just sensing. All these forms are normal and natural. You don’t have to trouble your mind with any of these experiences to justify or negate regression experiences.

Session Duration:

A session of past life regression may last from one hour to three hours. You may get lots of ideas to experience and explore during the regression which may lengthen the process. So do not present yourself for past life regression in hurry. Keep a full day or evening aside for regression experience.

Excessive Eagerness:

We have observed that excessive eagerness for a regression session is counter productive to successful regression experience. If you find yourself excessive eager you may have to calm down and adopt a casual approach to regression.

Excessive Emotional Discharges:

There are some subjects who become deeply engrossed in their regression experiences and become too emotional manifested by weeping, crying, shouting, excessive actions. Theoretically, all these discharges have healing potentials.

Past Life Regression is Not a Cure for All Diseases:

People are approaching with an expectation to get cure for each and every ailment and disabilities. Past Life regression is in developing phase and you can adopt an exploratory attitude for these procedures. If you get success it is alright else you may surf other modalities best suited to your needs.

Side Effects:

There may be some minor and temporary side effects of past life regression. Feelings of anxiety, fear, sadness, irritability, guilt feelings and pain may appear after a session. If these feelings are within tolerance level you may wait them to subside; if marked you may like to consult a psychiatrist or medical practitioner for getting appropriate prescription. If there is any major condition, as a rule you should get appropriate medical consultation. We also advise subjects to get medical consultation before undergoing past life regression. If you have any hangover after the session you may like to travel by public transport system or another person drive your vehicle. Discuss with your guide freely.

Life Threatening Condition:

If you have any life threatening condition like cardiac problems, we recommend you not to experiment with past life regression or contact any medical practitioner who specializes in past life regression to address your both the needs.

Which Type of Subjects are Good Candidates for Past Life Regression:

The suggestible subjects are the best candidates for regression experience. However, analytical persons may also experience regression with extended efforts. There are some suggestible subjects who fail to have adequate regression experience. In such cases we recommend, self-regression audios and more sessions with an open and collaborative attitude.

Recommended Reading:

We recommend that before undergoing regression experience, a person should read International Bestseller book by Dr. Brian Weiss: Many Lives, Many Masters which is easily available in most major cities in the world.

Jheel Baba:

Please remember that Jheel Baba is not any living physical form in this universe, just take it as a personification of your own higher self. Babaji need be invited with reverence under trance only. It is a divine being which may appear in any form to assist and heal during regression. Jheel Baba is faith friendly, you do not have to have any changes in your existing belief and faith system. Take it as a specialized procedure.

Expectation of Something Mysterious and Unknown Experiences:

Past Life regression is a naturally human phenomena. There is nothing hidden or mysterious in the procedure. Take it just like any other human experiences of absorption and visualization.

Validity of Past Life Recall:

Evidences are yet to accumulate to empirically demonstrate that the regression experience represent valid recall of past life experiences. Till then it is just provisional.

Concept of Spirit Attachment and Releasement:

There are some practitioners who have integrated these concepts in their past life regression. We are in the process of active exploration of these procedures and would recommend Edith Fiore's Unquiet Dead for interested audience.

Awakened With a Feeling of Imagination and Confusion:

After a successful regression session, some persons come up with a feeling that they were actively imagining the content of regression experience. It should be remembered that it is one’s own mind in which the content of regression emerged. So it is OK to have such a feeling.

Amnesia:

Amnesia is a failure in remembering regression experience. It may be partial or complete. In partial amnesia, a person remembers some of his experiences, whereas in complete amnesia there is total failure in retrieval failure of regression experiences. Amnesia is a characteristics of deeper levels of trance and seen in a few cases only. Normally, you are likely to remember most regression experiences. If there is amnesia, you do not have to try hard to retrieve regression experiences. Some subjects get spontaneous memory of regression experiences after some time gap and others may not remember them at all. Amnesia is a normal and natural phenomenon. There is nothing abnormal in it.

False Memory Syndrome:

In some subjects, it is observed that in age regression some memories emerge which appear to be quite true to the subject particularly molestation by family members in childhood. If recommended read about False Memory Syndrome on Wikipedia

Gender Issues:

If you are a female receiving past life regression services from a male guide, it is recommended that you take a confidant along with you to the person who can watch the entire process from a distance for your own good. There is nothing hidden and secret in the procedure.

Media Cases:

The media present best cases after comprehensive screening for obvious reasons. One can not equate a similar regression in each and every case.

Remote Healing:

The concept of remote healing in past life regression and life between life regression contexts is purely exploratory. There can not be any claim of its efficacy. If you are using it have an open mind. It may or may not work.

Future Life Progression:

Progression is the act of moving forward; a proceeding in a course; motion onward. The most useful books for progression are (a) Bruce Goldberg: Past Lives, Future Lives (b) Brian Weiss: Same Soul Many Bodies. The Book of Dr. Bruce Goldberg is excellent.

Integration and Debriefing:

After a regression session you and the guide are expected to share the experiences of the session and relate the material to your issues. If regression was not successful, then you should mutually identify possible reasons of failure so that success can be expected in next sessions. Do not jump to any conclusions on the reason for failure. Take sufficient time to explore alternative possibilities. If you feel to share your experiences with your guide you may send an email or speak over phone with permission and convenience.

Belief in Reincarnation:

Belief in reincarnation is not required for past life regression. Your willingness, co-operation and suggestibility are the requirement. past life regression is independent of belief system.

Skeptic’s Viewpoint:

Skeptics and Rationalists do not believe in reincarnation and past life regression to the extent that they condemn the whole procedure of past life regression, mostly because this phenomena can not be explained through known scientific theories. We also place these procedures under unexplained facts of science even though the obvious implication is in favor of reincarnation concepts. We say so because the exact mechanism of reincarnation has not be discovered yet. We hypothesize that with advancement of scientific methods these concepts may get established.

Some Possible Reasons for Failure in Hypnosis and Paslife Regression:

We have identified following reasons of failure in successful past life regression; there could be many more. (a) analytical mindset (b) excessive eagerness (c) expectation of total loss of awareness (d) expectation of something mysterious and unknown (e) unconscious resistance. Past life regression is not a power game between you and your guide. A guide by virtue of his knowledge and experience tries to help a person, hence it is an essentially a collaborative and co-operative approach.

What To Do In Cases of Failure: (a)

Try to explore above myths and concepts and discuss the matter with your guide in detail (b) You may opt to get a referral for another practitioner.

(We have compiled above guidelines based on our own experiences. Other practitioners may have their own experiences and a set of guidelines. We would like to welcome suggestions and questions from the persons to update our database and help others to resolve their problems through past life regression.)

Responses:

My strategy is to avoid the great enthusiasm bit and ensure that I explain the process and set the right expectations with a client as an orientation right at the beginning at the time of giving the appointment. Typically the bell curve helps to explain hypnotisability as a functional normally distributed natural ability, as well as the fact
that whatever happens during the session is a form of partnership between the therapist and client and that I'm simply a facilitator - who will make similar efforts for all cases - but that the outcome is not in my hands... All wisdom, healing, grace - comes from the clients higher self... Setting the right expectation beforehand helps, and it doesn't sound like an 'excuse' afterwards in case of a failure. I'm also a little concerned by how some folks believe/propagate PLR to be a shortcut solution to all problems in life which can magically vanish after undergoing this - rather than a healing tool - which in itself can raise unrealistic expectations and cause failure.

Sonia
