This is a picture depicting the belief of reincarnation in Hinduism. Hindus believe that the atman [the soul] repeats throughout different lives. Ancient wisdom is displayed in this belief as it is comes from ages ago when the religion of Hinduism was created. Many other religions also believe similar beliefs to Hinduism when it comes to reincarnation and past lives. For example, Buddhists believe in an afterlife and reincarnation.

This is an image of Dr. Brian Weiss. He is a psychiatrist, hypnotherapist, and author. He is a notable past life regressionist. He appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show where he discussed past life regression and how the therapy works. The red flag connected to this is appeal to authority. Brian is highly educated as he studied at Columbia University, Yale University, and Yale School of Medicine. Brian is a well respected individual which makes him someone people look up to and will believe what he says due to his experience and high education.

This is the cover art for a song by the artist BORNS. The song is called "Past lives". The lyrics are about how he has waited throughout all of his lives to find the one to be with and in this current life he has found that. The song suggests that he is aware and conscious of his past lives. However, this is ironic and connects to past life regression because people use past life regression to attain information about what or who they were in their past lives. This is a very interesting and passionate song. The artist has a strong emotional connection to someone in particular and the lyrics "I'll take you way back, countless centuries
Don't you remember that you were meant to be
My Queen of Hearts, meant to be my love" suggest that he has been waiting for this person for centuries throughout his past lives.

This is a video by Autumn Brianne. Autumn is a vlogger who in this video discusses her experience with her past life regression. Her friend suggested she do this to help her recover from past emotional trauma. Having done this for this reason is an example of emotional connection. This is because Autumn decided to try past life regression for emotional/personal benefits. This could have been problematic and potentially harmful to her mental health depending on if what she discovered was beneficial or not to her emotional trauma.

This is a video by Mira Kelly. Mira Kelly is a vlogger who is very experienced in past life regression. She discusses whether or not it is safe to do a past life regression session alone. The video is an example of red herring. This is because the simple answer Mira is trying to communicate is, yes. She comments on her own personal experiences with past life regression which is irrelevant to the title of the video. Mira also uses self promotion in her video to tell her viewers to purchase her CD as it will help with their own past life regression session.

Benefits of Past Life Regression Therapy (PLRT)

The benefits of past life regression therapy (PLRT) are numerous and often transformative. PLRT can heal deeper and get results much more quickly than many other therapeutic approaches.

Here are just a few of the advantages you can realize:

Clear emotional stress, trauma and physical issues

Calm feelings of anxiety and/or depression

Heal troubled relationships

Understand and change behaviors, patterns and tendencies

Uncover dormant past life gifts and talents and actualize those in this life

Reveal past life souls you know from this life

Mentally, emotionally and spiritually unify past life experiences with your soul's life lessons

Reconnect with your Spiritual Center

Receive spiritual guidance and direction

Experience universal wisdom and peace not always available to us in our Earthly bodies.

"If you want to know the past, look at your present.
If you want to know the future, look at your present."
...Gautama Buddha

The Goal and the Process

Everything you've seen, felt and experienced in this life...as well as all the memories of your previous existences are housed in your subconscious...and then brought to light in your current consciousness during this process.

Even if You've Forgotten, Your Body Remembers
One of my past life therapy clients was a 68 year old man suffering with chronic pain in his left leg. This pain in his leg had been troubling him for years. In our work together, he visited a past life in which he was a German soldier injured during the Franco-Prussian war. In an attempt to save his life, they cut off his leg, but he died shortly afterward in excruciating pain. That experience imprinted itself on his unconscious and manifested itself as a troubling pain in his leg in his current life. There was no organic origin for the pain in this lifetime. That leg pain began mysteriously in his late 20's. During his regression therapy session, he realized he was about the same age when injured in his past life. This often happens. An issue carried forward from a past life may not surface until the age of impact in the past life. With that past life memory in his consciousness, he was able to recognize that the pain and the event were in the past and had nothing to do with his current life. Almost miraculously, the pain that had bothered him most of his adult life was 90% gone. There is a good likelihood that there is another lifetime in which his leg was injured. If he continued to do PLRT work, and uncovered that lifetime, there's a good chance he could be rid of the remaining 10%.

"If someone's phobia is eliminated instantly and permanently by the remembrance of an event from the past, it seems to make logical sense that that event must have happened."

...PLR pioneer, Dr. Edith Fiore ("The Unquiet Dead")

Traditional Therapy Doesn't Always Work

When conventional therapy doesn't work, there may be one simple reason. The therapist is looking for the trauma or problematic event (that caused the psychological issues) in the wrong place--or should I say time.

Almost every type of therapy assumes that traumas and important events from an individual's past influence the present.

PLRT assumes that as well, the only difference is that the unconscious mind goes beyond this lifetime. It carries forth the events and repercussions from events that go beyond early childhood, prenatal and birth periods right into past existences.

You can see how it can be difficult to find the triggers if you don't search back far enough. PLRT finds the root causes and therefore heals more deeply and quickly than traditional therapies.

When Past-Life Therapy Can Help

The release of old energetic blocks generates a flow of wonderful mental and emotional clarity, revealing the life-lessons needed to achieve happiness in this lifetime, while also advancing the course of future lifetimes.

Some of the more significant areas in which past-life therapy have traditionally been used are:

Troubling behavior and attitude patterns that have persisted over time, despite attempts to change

Relationship dynamics that seem to have a life of their own (intense attraction/aversion to another person, deep-seated issues that defy resolution)

Phobias - intense fears, such as fear of heights or fear of water, that seem unconnected to an experience in the current life

Some chronic physical ailments, sensations and pains

Dominant attitudes or emotions that seem to persist throughout your life

Ingrained beliefs such as: "Leave me alone", "No one understands me", "Life isn't fair", "I have to do it alone"

There are other exciting ways in which past-life therapy is being applied.

We focus on the positive, rather than going after traumatic or troubling memories. PLRT is used to enhance one's life by allowing individuals to 'own,' reclaim or rediscover gifts, abilities and talents from past lives; and to carry forward wonderful emotions for both healing and growth.

It Helps in Rewarding Areas As Well!

Accessing strengths and accomplishments from prior lifetimes can be brought forward to increase confidence and effectiveness in the present.

Re-experiencing a happy, successful lifetime; this can bring a sense of balance and peace when undergoing difficult times, fortifying us to work through our temporary difficulties

Clarifying direction and life purpose by viewing one's 'blueprint' for this lifetime

Finding prior lifetimes shared with current loved ones, bringing a great sense of reassurance that we are indeed never parted from those we love

Accessing the wisdom, peace and guidance that is available from the spiritual realms between lifetimes where our higher mind and/or guiding ones can assess our progress and give direction to us for our current lifetime

Strengthening the clarity of the spiritual nature of our existence.

When you think about it, it's freeing. Past life regression can bring you peace as it shines a light on the complicated tapestry of your total existence and your purpose as an evolving soul.

Life makes a lot more sense when you have a deeper understanding of the bigger picture.

This is an article from Oprah Winfrey's website. The article discusses whether or not past life regression actually works or not. It is explained in the article that it may not actually be returning to your past-life but just a method of hypnosis that makes you believe that in this case your fear is gone. Dr. Weiss is the past life regressionist in this article and explains various experiences he has had with patients. Dr. Oz [heart surgeon] discusses his views on the topic. The red flag in this article could be appeal to authority. This is because both notable people in this article are doctors and Dr. Oz is a highly thought of and famous doctor who has his own television show.

This is a website where you take a quiz and it tells you about your past life. This test does gives a very brief description of what your past life lesson is. A potential red flag with this could be confirmation bias. This is because if you go through the test hoping for a specific answer you can definitely attain that by choosing the most relevant answer to what you want. The problem with this is that it is not very or at all accurate.
