Do you believe you have past lives?
Or, that it is all a load of bunkum?
As a hypnotist, when asked about past life regression, I always answer that, regardless as to whether the client is actually going back to a past life or, whether it is a metaphor made up by the unconscious mind My intention is to help the client gain insight and clarity, which can allow them let go of whatever has been holding them back Resulting in the ability to enjoy the now, as they look forward to a brighter future.
Exploring Past Life Regression
I remember when I first qualified as a hypnotist before moving to Australia. It was around 2003 and I was curious about past life regression and other hypnotic phenomena to the point where I would hypnotize anyone who would let me, as a way of learning and gaining experience.
My son was a willing guinea pig back then, and I can clearly remember the thoughts going through my own mind as he described a past life to me whilst he was in trance.
I suggested he remained in a trance state whilst being asked questions. These questions involved being asked his age, name, where he was and eventually, taking him towards the end of his life asking what his biggest lesson had been in that lifetime.
I remember vividly him telling me his name was Michael and he was four years old. In my own mind I was imagining my son at four years old. When I asked him where he was and he told me he was by the railway line, I felt a bit panicky inside and when I asked him who he was with and he said he was holding his mummy’s hand I must admit feeling a tad jealous knowing that I am his mum in this life.
Anyway, what amused me back then was when I asked him what the biggest lesson was in the lifetime and he said ‘I wouldn’t have worked so hard’ in what sounded like an old man’s voice!
At the time, my son had finished university and had just returned from travelling overseas so wasn’t working so hard. Interestingly though, he now works incredibly hard as editor of a magazine.
My Personal Experience of Past Life Regression
The space between your thoughts is where the magic happens
Shortly after moving to Australia I found myself with allsorts of mixed emotions which I related to missing my loved ones in the UK.
One of my colleagues who specialized in past life regression seemed to think I might benefit from some sessions with her. I enthusiastically agreed to her suggestion, as I love to be led into hypnosis at any opportunity I get. As my clients will testify, you wake up feeling wonderfully refreshed, energised and relaxed all at the same time.
My experience of Past Life Regression was held over three sessions.
I found the whole experience to be very relaxing and enlightening. The first life I visited, was to be in the body of an 18 year old boy, with the job of looking after horses somewhere in the French countryside in the early 1800’s, where I was also regarded as a local healer and sort of horse whisperer.
On two other occasions I was aboard the Endeavour ship along with Captain James Cook as a deck hand, sailing from Whitby in North Yorkshire, England. In this life I also presented as a boy, with my son on board the ship as my brother. I have no idea how I knew this, just a sort of knowing connection. I still have the vision in my mind of waving my family goodbye at the dockside, who seemed to me to include my son and daughter in this lifetime.
As I stated earlier in this post, I have no idea whether I went back to past lives or that my creative mind came up with these scenarios.
The incredible lesson I gained as a result of this hypnotic experience, gave me great comfort and a knowing deep inside my being, that it doesn’t matter where I live in this world or the next. That we are all connected at a soul level and this connection can never be broken.
Sometimes we are aware of the connection and sometimes we lose sight of it, but it is always there.
A Reminder
My mum died over twenty years ago and the night she died my son had a dream that she was at the end of his bed, telling him not to worry, that everything would be ok. My daughter had a similar experience when her dad and I split up.
Although my mum ‘Lily’ died 20 years ago, I still feel a close connection with her.
Last night I had a dream where I was chatting with my Mum, I felt a little guilty and told her that I had forgotten that she was living just up the road.
Today I remembered what I had lost sight of for a while and the connection I have to my own mum today feels stronger than ever.
Note:
Remember, at a different level, our human connection is so much easier today than it was in years gone by. We have wonderful and amazing modern technology.
We can communicate through Skype wherever you are in the world.
