Hey Hey, I'm excited, I'm getting this done at the beginning of the month!

I've just finished reading Many Lives Many Masters by Dr Brian Weiss on past life regression and what a fascinating read it was!  (Grammar police please ignore my ending the sentence with a verb.)  

Dr Weiss is an eminent psychiatrist who was traditionally trained in psychotherapy, and at the time of writing (1988) was Chief of Psychiatry at a large university-affiliated hospital in Miami.  He had a patient known as Catherine, come to him because she was suffering anxiety, panic disorder, fear of choking to death, fear of drowning, fear of dying and was debilitated by her symptoms.  

He worked with her for a period of some 18 months and nothing made much of a difference, so he decided to introduce hypnosis. Low and behold, Catherine slipped into spontaneous past life regression and many interesting things came out...  For a mainstream psychiatrist who did not believe in reincarnation, this was both frightening and bewildering.  Dr Weiss documented the sessions meticulously and actually recorded all of the past life regressions.  

Over a period of 3 months, they worked together and as Catherine examined her past through past life recall via hypnosis, she lost her fears completely and began to radiate peace and happiness.  

By the way, she was a pauper, a servant, royalty, black, white, American-Indian, European, a Viking, French, German and male and female.  She recognised many people from her current life, as being relatives, friends or her killer in previous lives.

I remember the first time that I took my former husband into past life regression (oh, that was about 1989 - gosh that is a long time ago), and it was a scary and interesting experience.  Scary because it was my first time in doing anything like that, and interesting with what transpired.  

I have had a couple of spontaneous experiences of past life recall, and have guided a number of people through past life regression.

For those of you who don't believe in past lives, please put your beliefs aside for the moment and read the book, as Catherine herself found it difficult initially due to her own Catholic beliefs.

This book is a wonderful easy read and I thoroughly recommend it.

Past life regression can be of great use in uncovering learnings and letting go of emotional overload, particularly fear, and if you are interested in this area, do call and have a conversation about what is involved.
