Hypnosis Age Regression

One thing I should tell you is that the subconscious mind works with things
both real and imagined. I once helped a woman with a fear of snakes and the
event causing the problem was a nightmare she had when she was six years old.
This wasn’t even a real event. She had never been injured by a snake or known
anyone bitten by a snake. This could also happen if a small child watched a TV
show that they shouldn’t have. It’s very possible that what they saw on TV
might develop into a fear that grows as they do. So could past lives be on this
same order? Let’s set aside any religious beliefs just for a little while and
really look at this past life phenomena.
When I regress my clients with regard to an emotion what I am essentially
doing is something known as a “Non-Directive Regression.” This means I am not
telling them or directing them to go to a certain age or event. I have no idea
when or where their minds will take them. Of course occasionally I will take
some of my clients back to a specific age or event. For example, I take all my
smokers back to when they were six years old before they were a smoker (except
for one person who was already smoking at age six…) This is called a directive
regression. With directive regressions we know where we will end up. We are
directing them to a certain time or situation. For the non-directive
regressions in therapy I will get a person every other week or every three weeks
or so who ends up in what they perceive to be a past life. If you do regression
work you’ll have to deal with this, it will come up. To me it really
doesn’t matter. I’ll still ask them if this is the first time they’ve ever felt
the feeling. If it isn’t and they go back to a past life I correct it the exact
same way I would as if they ended up as a child in their current lifetime. I
once had a woman follow her fear back and she perceived herself as a man in
Egypt walking up a steep hill with some kind of wooden carrying device over his
shoulders with gourds hanging from both ends. This was the first time she/he
ever felt the feeling.
I had another woman come to me with a mix of different problems a while
ago. When I started working on her problem regarding a professional block, a
day trader who couldn’t trust her plan, she became very emotional. She
regressed to being six years old, outside, nighttime, and with people. She saw
herself in a courtyard of some large structure standing next to a huge bond fire
with all the other homeless and poor. Her father had just been imprisoned which
was a death sentence back then and her mother was already dead. She found
herself orphaned and had nowhere to go. The tears soon followed.
Another person I was regressing, I don’t recall what we were working on,
was in deep hypnosis and followed her fear back to a previous life as well. She
was wearing a Victorian style dress, black with white lace and she started to
cry and cry... I asked her what was wrong and she conveyed to me that she was
walking out of her home and the house was on fire. It was just a shell of a
house that was totally engulfed in flames and her three children were inside.
She couldn’t save them and they died there. (When people ask me what I do for a
living I sometimes tell them, “I make people cry.”)

One thing about regression work is this. To the person going through it,
it’s not just remembering it, it’s more like reliving it if done correctly.
They are reliving the event as if they are there for the first time. As you can
imagine this invokes real fears or joys depending on where the person might end
up. Sometimes when I am working on a subject they start talking in past tense
like, “I saw my mother hit me.” It’s up to me to put them back in the
situation, back in the moment, by saying something like, “No, you see
your mother hitting you! It’s happening, continue.” Sometimes it’s my
fault. If I change the tense they’ll go right along with me. The proper way to
conduct a regression is to keep it in the present tense, “What happens next,
instead of what happened next.”
