Regression Work: the most powerful tool in Hypnotherapy

There are two fundamental types of regression: Age Regression and Past Life Regression. However, the distinction is only in our minds because the techniques used to heal traumas and other problems are the same since the Subconscious doesn’t see the passage between this life and the previous ones as a barrier. It sees all our past experiences as a continuum, all on the same level. When I work with a client who needs to find the root of a problem/illness/behaviour, I always give an open instruction: “Go to the root of the problem”. I don’t give dates and times because although my client might be sure of the origin of their problem, we know that we can be wrong. An open instruction/question gives the Subconscious the freedom to use its wisdom and its knowledge to go to the right place, wherever it is located. In the 80s Dr Weiss stumbled into past lives’ memories by chance, while regressing a client with a lot of problems. Instead of asking her to go back to a certain age of her childhood, he inadvertently told her to go back to the root of her problems: and there she was, in another time, another place, another life. It happens quite regularly that when I regress a client to the root of their problem(s), they recall memories both from past lives and from the early years of their present life, without any distinction. For simplicity I shall therefore use the expressions “Past Life Journey” and “Past Life Therapy” even when a regression to previous years of the current life is or can be included.

Some people come for past life regression out of curiosity or some intellectual interest and in this case the process is straightforward, but in many cases the client has a specific reason to come to me and ask for a past life journey (or for me to suggest such a therapy). These reasons are many and varied, as well as the techniques/therapies used to deal with them. Some of these situations can also be dealt with using conventional hypnosis (or even NLP techniques without hypnosis), but I have seen that when these same techniques are applied in this context, the results are quicker and more fulfilling because they really go to the core of our being.

You might think: “Well, I don’t believe in past lives!” My answer is: “Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter”. The entire process is deeply healing and very powerful in itself. Think whatever you want: it’s imagination, daydreaming, collective unconscious, real memories … the result doesn’t change.
