Obvious possibilities for recalling past lives include recurrent dreams, clairsentient experiences when visiting certain places, and irrational fears of specific activities. When exploring some of these unusual phenomena, modern therapists have accidentally come upon a new method for evoking past-life recall. |

Past-Life Regression Therapy |

Many therapists around the world now practice a relatively new type of therapy based on the idea that lessons learned in past lives can inform the challenges faced in the present. Called past-life regression therapy, it's especially helpful in connecting traumatic experiences in earlier lives to the problems affecting present lives. |

To resolve these interconnected past-and present-life problems, the therapist leads the client into an altered state of consciousness, usually through a form of hypnosis or progressive relaxation. The therapist then makes the suggestion to ''go back to a time when this issue (phobia, fear, trauma) originated." The patient then has a spontaneous image or feeling that emerges, which indicates the appropriate lifetime. |

A single session takes from 60 to 90 minutes. As the client, you're aware of all that happensyou'll feel like you're in two places at the same time or watching a movie in which you experience the physical sensation of the action taking place on the screen (sort of like homemade virtual reality). You remember all of it afterward, although most therapists also make a tape of the session for you to keep. The therapist will also discuss what your past life may teach you about the challenges you face today. |

As you reveal the past-life problem, understand it, and work to mitigate its effects on your current situation, the past-life problem begins to fade away. In addition, it appears that the more past-life regressions you experience, the greater your ability to understand your current lifetime. This understanding helps you to release negative habits and beliefs. For example, someone with a severe phobia, such as a fear of water or heights, might well benefit from past-life regression therapy. He may discover that he drowned in a previous lifetime, and by doing so, release that life's fear and this life's phobia. |

It appears that certain types of emotional problems might be resolved rather simply and quickly through past-life regression therapy, and require fewer sessions than conventional therapy. Physical conditions that appear to be psychosomatic often begin to disappear with past-life regression therapy. On a much larger scale, past-life regression may help you discover what spiritual lessons you should focus on and which path to pursue in life. |
