Past Life Regression Therapy - An overview ...conclusion.

If you've ever felt that certain experiences are preventing you from achieving your true potential - but you're not sure exactly what they are - then past-life regression therapy could help.

Past Life Regression  is a New Age therapy where people probe into what they think is their past to find answers to questions plaguing them in the present. A therapist puts clients in a state of deep relaxation, in an attempt to delve into their "pasts" and find clues about their previous lives. Uncovering a traumatic event in a previous incarnation, they say, can help us understand why we have psychological - and even physiological - problems today.

The stages that occur in regression illuminate much about the psychology of the soul. Even though a lifetime may be in the distant past, it can be very present in the current life psyche. These circumstances from the past shape who we are today. The past and the future are tied together by the present, and the choices we make now affect both. Self knowledge of where we have been, and resolution of any limitations from the past allows us greater freedom in the present and subsequently the future.

Examining these "lives" can reveal why we harbor certain fears, behaviors or habits, or even why we experience deja vu from time to time. Past Life Regression can not only help us understand our own character better and why we act the way we do, but also explains why we are drawn towards specific individuals - because we have met them before, of course!

The more unpleasant the experience or painful the emotion, the stronger the memory trace. Any experienced traumatic event triggers the reaction termed the traumatic event sequence. Perceptions of each succeeding moment of any event are registered in the conscious mind then stored in the subconscious mind.

It is from these perceptions that we form the beliefs which become the basis for the creation of unwanted random events and behavior patterns in our lives. The collection of unexamined data stored in your subconscious mind is today called your perceptual reality and is responsible for the bias from which each person individually perceives the world around them. External data is not actually perceived just as it is without going through the critical faculties of judgments and labeling thus we are responding to our own beliefs about the event not the event. In addition there are the pre-established unconscious filters such as love, hate, fear, and hostility sourcing from the perceptual reality itself coloring our internalization of the event. Both of these factors create an involuntary response to the data rather than experiencing the data itself. Thus having been programmed into the subconscious, your auto pilot, these perceptions and skewed viewpoints automatically keep creating what they think is the direction you want your life to proceed in and show up as. Almost all defense mechanisms stem from the erroneous conclusions and misperceptions stored in the unconscious that are triggered automatically and intercede with the correct interpretation of current sensory input.

Past Life Regresion Therapy seeks to unravel the distortions, clear the perceptions, and experiential understanding of the truth of what actually happened in past traumas. This leads to the healing of the residues.

Past Life Regression Therapy brings to light the body of experiences the soul has traversed throughout its eternal life journey as an incarnated being, and thus seeks to heal present life conflicts which stem from traumatic events in prior lifetimes.

In the clinical framework of reincarnation, the being or spirit is eternal. As part of the spiritual journey, many beings choose to incarnate in the earth plane; that is, to take on the form of a physical human body. In the course of lifetimes of human interaction, the being accumulates mental, emotional, and physical residue, which is carried from lifetime to lifetime influencing the person's existence. Past Life Regression Therapy is about identifying and removing these residues so that the person may be fully present in the moment and fully free to make decisions based solely on current lifetime information.

The subconscious mind contains the memory of everything a person has ever perceived and experienced. Each perception and every experience is recorded in the memory, including biographical material from this life, the birth and pre-natal period, other lifetimes, and the non-physical experiences between lives.

The memory bank includes the perceptions of every past event; the surrounding circumstances and conditions; all physical and sensory input, including subliminally received data; the thoughts, emotions, feelings, and perceptions associated with the event.

The mind, while receiving the present and immediate perceptions of the senses is constantly alert to real or imagined threats to survival, based on and compared with past experience. This means that every adult interaction, every childhood event, every pre-natal experience is recorded and compared for validity at a subconscious level. The mind is living in the past in a very real sense. In this way a person experiences selective hearing and seeing as well as selective memory. Once a memory is triggered the person no longer hears anything that is being said but is automatically and often unconsciously regressed to the time frame of the triggered event. Thus suspended in a less than mature adult age frame they respond from the developmental stage they are currently functioning in, usually the childhood stage the trauma or upset occurred in. This is confusing to the regressed person as well as the adult interacting with them.

 Using Past Life Regression Therapy to regress the person to the time frame of the childhood trauma and the reframing and removal thereof, these triggers disappear and cease to interrupt the smooth flow of adult rationality thus taking with them lifelong dysfunctional patterns.
