Past Life Regression
One of the most common questions I get as a hypnotherapist is “Can you do past life regressions?” The truth is that I don’t know if I believe in past lives. It really makes no difference if I believe in past lives. If the patient believes I have never had an unsuccessful session. I have even done sessions designed to discover what happens between lives.
People who go through these procedures are sometimes just curious and others are looking for reasons to explain current behavior or events in their lives; I encourage curiosity. I think curiosity is the reason that I have many of my current interests. I have certain reservations about helping people find reasons for what is going on in their current lives by finding out what has happened in the past. As with behaviors that are genetically inherited, I believe that one inherits a predisposition for the behavior. The choice is up to the individual as to whether they will actually perform the behaviors.
I do believe that many people will go out of their way to avoid personal responsibility for inappropriate behavior. Interestingly enough, many of these same people will insist on getting credit fo good behavior.
Past life sessions are always interesting for both the patient and the therapist. My expereince has been that the client will have experienced a past life in an era and situration that is historically documented. I have read accounts of people speaking in an accent or language that is not native to them but I have never had this happen during one of my sessions.
At this point in time, I can not say thiat I believe in past lives. I, also, can not say that I do not believe in past lives. In truth, it makes no difference if I believe in past lives or not. If the client believes in past life regression, than that is what is important. I think these sessions would be enjoyable for anyone who would like to experience and go into the process with an open mind.
