Hypnosis is a tool that allows you to explore your past lives for the purpose of personal research, discovery and healing. Many phobias and illnesses (physical or emotional) are directly related to a past life. When a conscious connection is made, healing begins.
Do previous lives influence our current life?
Most definitely they do, although most of you don't realize it. Your likes and dislikes in this life are influenced by previous lives. Your personality has been deeply affected and built upon previous incarnations. Other areas that your past lives can tremendously influence include: physical health, appearance, race, creed, religion, value systems, wealth, habits, aesthetic talents of any kind, sex and I could go on and on, but I think you get the general idea. Everything in your current life is affected by your past lives.
In many cases, negativity on the Earth plane is perpetuated by the influence of past lives. Bigotry and racial hatred are prime examples. Almost everyone at one time or another has experienced such prejudices – with some of you even functioning as both victim and offender.
Take a look at your life and analyze it as an incarnate. You can discover how many of your interests, habits, likes and dislikes could be the direct result of a past life. Is your house furnished in a particular décor? Do you vacation in a certain place all of the time? Are you uncomfortable with a certain ethnic group? You may be surprised to learn how much influence the past can have on your life.
Q: Is there any real benefit to remembering past lives?
For the majority of you, I would say yes. The main benefit is therapeutic in nature, but unfortunately, most therapists who practice today don't incorporate the premise of reincarnation in their methodology. Consequently, they bypass one of the primary healing modes – to relieve both physical and mental problems – for individual's past-life therapy.
Past life therapy, through the use of hypnotic regression, has garnered some astounding results from those who utilize it. Most phobias that have no reason to exist or can't be traced to an incident in someone's current life are usually the result of a past –life experience in fact, many traumatic incidents that a person has gone through in previous lives can be triggered by similar circumstances in their current life. Many illnesses which doctors term "psychosomatic," are often "carried over" from past incarnations.
For example, at a certain age, a famous actor started experiencing acute pain in the solar plexus region of his body. After seeing numerous doctors, none of them could find a reason for the pain, so he consulted a psychic. The psychic determined that this actor had been "run through" with a sword in that particular area of his body during a past life. Once he discovered this, the actor no longer experienced any pain. This is a key example of how a "carry-over" from your past life can affect you.
To develop your recollection of past lives, hypnosis is considered the safest and most valid method. Almost everyone who undergoes a past-life regression feels better mentally and physically afterward, but if you take part in this process, be prepared for an emotional release. Some of the issues you can resolve from this method are psychosomatic ills, phobias, habits, and a misguided life purpose, questions about your themes, relationship troubles and many more. The benefits are many.
