Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Can anyone tell me more about this? Any personal experiences? What is it good for and how does one know if the therapist is legit? Thanks! Ari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 Hi Ari: I have had spontaneous regressions during table time while getting bodywork and energy work, and dreams that were repetitive and contained strong indicators of remote memory recall. What has really helped me in clarifying these experiences has been doing self hypnosis and working with a hypnotherapist skilled in regression work. When I work with others, I prefer to have an idea of why a person desires past life regression; sometimes in dealing with an issue during a regular session and searching for the causation, the suggestion is offered that a person go back to the root of the problem, back as far as they need, back to the inception of their soul. This is a 'safe' method for most people and does not conflict with the belief system of people who may not believe in reincarnation or past lives. It is also very important when working with a hypnotherapist that they are clear of personal agendas; I would avoid anyone who had a 'reputation' for having clients who retrieved memories regularly of ritual abuse, childhood abuse, sexual abuse or alien abduction. Although these things can and do come up in hypnosis, a person whose clients are routinely 'finding' these lost memories may be experiencing the effects of subtle suggestion by the therapist that is inappropriate or subjective rather than neutral and objective. The therapist should not be 'looking' for anything... they are only there to assist the client to open up to what they are ready to remember in a regression session. The therapist should be willing to tape or video the session with you and provide you with an unedited copy. It is better if they do not suggest their impressions, but instead ask what your impressions are of what comes up. Remember that you are highly suggestive even in the period before and after a hypnosis session, and should avoid speculative discussion at that time if possible since that could be 'set' as a false memory. If a therapist suggests to you that you may be a victim of some sort before a session, especially if you have not discussed any real life history of such with them, my advice would be to get up and leave. In addition, I always add a caveat, that the person will consciously recall what is comfortable and appropriate in a safe and gentle way, in their own time frame. They can deal very effectively with forgiveness and release issues in hypnosis that they never need to directly address with their conscious minds unless they choose to do so. The higher self is capable of monitoring and filtering these things for a person's greatest good, letting small indicators leak out over time in dreams and flashbacks until the person is comfortable enough to deal with them if they are useful to be recalled. I think that this is particularly important for children, who may not be able to consciously comprehend or assimilate the feelings of responsibility or horror from past life traumas or death experiences. Hope this helps... any more questions? Blessings, Crow fractalboy wrote: > > Can anyone tell me more about this?

Based on that experience, I feel that you will KNOW yourself if a recall is genuine or not. You'll FEEL the reality of the " past life experience " . If the therapist would happen to start giving you very specific suggestions (Remember when you were King George) I'd run the other way. <G> In my non professional opinion, the suggestions should be more general: Remember a time when you were happy. Remember an earlier time when you were happy, and so on. Or remember a time when you felt you were treated unfairly. Then remember an earlier time when you felt you were treated unfairly. THAT line of questioning would likely result in a lot of emotional incidents for most people. In terms of " what it's good for " , phrasing it accurately can be a little tricky. <g> Consider two similar ways to describe " what's going on " . The idea is that we commonly carry the: A) impact of traumatic experiences with us into other lifetimes. B) memory of previous life traumatic experiences with us into subsequent lifetimes. A) assumes that in the grand scheme of things everything happens in the now moment. B) assumes a traditional time line that we're used to in 3D life. But in either case, the idea is that experiences as " another character " impact your experiences as the character you are now. A simple example might be if you as Elizabeth drowned while on an ocean voyage. Now as Ari you are afraid to go on an ocean cruise. If, through regression, you can diffuse the impact of that drowning experience, then you'll likely no longer be afraid of going on an ocean boat.
