We seek professional help to look at how our past lives affect our current lives — if we believe in karma and reincarnation, that is. But whether one believes in the universal law of karma and the general rule of reincarnation, people somehow always question the differences of life status, based on wealth and physical, emotional and mental attributes. No one can help but ask why others are born more superior in some respects than others.
Regression is one way of seeing a past life or past lives, which may help one understand the reason of his current existence. An individual can go into a deep, trance-like state with the help of a hypno-therapist guiding one’s travel into his past, or go into self-regression if one has the ability and knowledge to do so.
The guided regression
Regression is done with the help of a professional hypno-therapist. In each session, the subject is put in a relaxed state of consciousness, commonly known among practitioners as the Alpha State, where one has time to simultaneously relax mind, body and soul. The benefit on going into the alpha state of mind is it integrates mind, body and soul. This is the only time one may experience total oneness of being. Even if you are not aware or don’t have experience in meditation or hypnosis, a professional hypno-therapist can positively guide you to travel to the innermost part of yourself and eventually your past lives if the session is successful.
Each session can last for several hours, and several sessions are required for a successful regression because the process is too tiring physically, mentally and emotionally. Always, the past lives’ success and failure stories somehow affect the emotional condition of the regressor. That emotion can hamper the clarity of regression so that one misses the signs that need to be seen for present adjustment of current life situations.
The benefit with this guided process is it is like having an experienced driver on a long drive to an unfamiliar place. So the chance of being misled and encountering problems in the journey is lessened with the professional help.
Self-regression
To go into self-regression, one must know how to meditate. This is the primary tool to have a successful regression. If you can’t meditate, then it will be hard for you to see your past lives, although in some cases spontaneous self-regression happens especially when the need for knowledge of the past is so high. Here is the step-by-step process to guide you if you wish to try self-regression.
1. Look for a quiet place and start to meditate.
It is very important that the meditation be done in a quiet place where nobody can disturb you. It will be disastrous if you are disturbed in the middle of self-regression. Not knowing all the things that can be learned from the past can have a negative setback and going back again to the same scene will not be easy; free flowing thoughts cannot be induced even if you try very hard.
2. Calmly regard every scene or symbol one may see.
One must not fear a vision of a horse, a lion or even a dragon. Knives, thunder, raging waters need not be feared for these are possible symbols and keys that will bring you to your past. Remember that our brain understands figures, symbols and colors more than scenarios of the past. Just let the images flow and the scenario and vision of the past will come into your mind and into your senses.
3. Try to hold on to your emotions.
Visions of the past are loaded with emotion, happy and sad depending on the success and failure of one’s life story. Try not to be affected by this emotion, whatever it is. Emotion will drag you down back to the present and away from the lesson that one had to learn from the past. Hold that emotion until you are finished with regression so you will be able to look back with the knowledge and lessons of your past and get the chance to correct the mistakes.
4. Try to hear sounds so you may get your name in your past.
The visions are not just visual. You may be able to hear sounds of all kinds if you try to listen. Taking more time, longer than the natural regression, is all you need to hear some sound. One may get their name in the past and determine who they are and the people around them. Try to listen to the conversations — one may even join these conversations and gain a deeper understanding of the past.
5. Remember that it can’t affect you physically, so reacting in a violent scenario is not required.
Sometimes a subject is carried by the visions that they cry, they shout and even act violently. Actually, all reactions are not necessary while in regression. It shortens the regression and leads to more questions than answers.
6. Try to practice on a not so distant past of your life.
Meditate and try to go back on your yesterday, week, or month that passed in your life. It is my practice to go back on the past whole day of my life to check my good deeds, my misdeeds and things that I did not do. It is my own way of rectifying my mistakes and create a better me the next day. This practice will train you to regress naturally. Try to recall your day everyday and you will see that regression will become a easy thing.
Our life today is based on our past. We must not live with our past, but learn the lesson of the past — not to be vengeful but to be more forgiving, not to take it negatively but positively, not to be destructive but to be more productive and most of all, not to feel lonely and sad but to be joyful and happy for you are alive today and have the chance one again to gain perfection.
