What is Past Life Regression Therapy(PLRT)

by Prof. Dr. Beena Rani Goel, MDS, FIARE (USA)

We live in accordance with our deep, driving desire.
It is this desire at the time of death
that determines what our next life is to be.
We will come back to earth to work
out the satisfaction of that desire.
-The Upanishads

Past life regression is the deliberate use of a variety of methods to retrieve memories of experiences that occurred in other life times. Most of us have no problem in seeing strengths and weaknesses in others. When it comes to knowing our own life situations with clarity, the challenge often seems insurmountable. Viewing the cycles and patterns of behavior recurring through many life times, we get a clear insight into our habits, struggles, fears, hopes, choices and dreams.

What is remarkable about past life work is that you can process as powerfully as if you are remembering your present day childhood, and more importantly, you can begin to discover solutions to other intractable problems, such as phobias, allergies, and disease.
Have you forgiven parents for your childhood? Or are you stuck in memories of those days- the abuse, the anger, the helplessness, the abandonment? Do you want to let go of the past or do you want to still be controlled by it?

The answers to these very important questions will affect how ready you are for the inner change. The purpose of healing the past is to help you break free of those compulsions and urges that keep you locked into old patterns of behavior and belief, not only for you to make new choices, but also to step forward into your life purpose.

We all want to function at the maximum capability. A 100% commitment to whatever we are doing may be difficult because a major part of our energy is locked away in old patterns, beliefs, fears, and addictions. Every time we trigger a memory, we release trapped energy at every level of our being. With each memory that we clear, space opens inside for something else to flow into us, something we may not believe we deserve- healing love and joy.

Under normal circumstances, our reserve of energy is barely half of what we were born with because the available energy is locked away in the traumas. Reliving an event not only releases it in both the physical and emotional bodies, it raises our vibration because energy has been freed from the trauma and cleaned off.
As we work through our past, we can face the experience of abuse, change the memory to release the poison, and fill ourselves with love. The painful events of the past become our historical past, instead of creating a hysteric present.

Benefits of PLRT

Past lives are keys to awareness enhancement, providing insight into feelings, thoughts and motivations that can help one to achieve material and spiritual goals. Exploring past lives can also help:

Overcome phobias and mental blocks.
Understand and shape career choices.
Enhance relationships with friends, family and partners.
Deal constructively with death and grief.
Live richer, more fulfilling lives—in this incarnation and the next.

What to expect during a PLR session

Most people experience past life therapy as a gradual unfolding of images. Past life regression therapy includes the mental act of going back; to a time prior to this life in order to retrieve memories that may still influence a person's present life. Everyone will experience their past life differently. We have inner senses of sight, sensation, sound, smell and just knowing, the dominance of each one will differ from person to person. Therefore, some or all of these inner senses may be active during your past life regression session.

It is important to note that throughout the session, you will be aware of your environment. You will hear the sounds outside, you will feel the breeze etc

One of the most common blocks to experiencing is having the expectation that you will experience the past life regression just like waking consciousness. It is important not to set your expectations for a particular way of experiencing. Just be open to whatever way the information comes for you.

Past Life Regression is like any new skill. Some people are just born naturals. Others require more practice. The more you experience past life regression, the easier it becomes to access this state of consciousness.

Types of reactions

First is your mind’s loud objection to whatever you see or sense. When you find a past life, especially if you believe there’s no such thing, that clear assault on your belief system can be shocking. Expect your mind to argue against the validity of what you saw. It is alright as long as you don’t succumb to its arguments and invalidate your experience. What is important is the result, whatever your belief.

You may feel upset, angry, or embarrassed because what you see is unacceptable, unpleasant, or crazy. With its comments and judgments, your mind is getting in the way again.
You may blame yourself for the terrible deeds that your past life persona did and want to have nothing to do with them – except that you’re the one who is suffering now.

You may have any or all of those feelings before, during, and after the journey. But they won’t affect what goes on during the experience, as long as you are willing to process. You just need to work with whatever you see, and keep breathing. Your higher self manifested this scenario for your healing. One of the key factors in successful past life work is the ability to blend into the situation in order to take control of the action.

Manifesting your life purpose

Your life purpose is what your Higher Self has chosen as your task for this lifetime. Your major life task is to discover, come into alignment with, and finally manifest it. A fulfilled life purpose enhances the quality of life of the practitioner and the people around him or her. The single most important purpose of changework that is possible through PLRT is to clear away the baggage of the past in order for you to manifest your life purpose.

Dr. Brian Weiss

Any discussion of PLRT is incomplete without the mention of Dr. Brian Weiss. As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career.

A graduate of Columbia University and Yale Medical School, Brian L. Weiss M.D. is Chairman Emeritus of Psychiatry at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami. Dr. Weiss is the author of several top selling books based on his experience as a psychiatrist and healer. These include, Many Lives, Many Masters, Through Time into Healing, Messages From the Masters, Mirrors of Time: Using Regression for Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Healing and more.

Feedback/ Q and Ans after session from a client

Client: After the PLR session my fear has come down and also I am less emotional now comparatively. I have some questions for clarification:

Q: Wanted to know the reason for occipital and cervical pain.
I did meditate again wid ur video had heaviness in same area but not pain.

Ans: We bury our emotional pains in specific areas of our bodies based on so many factors. A major healing occurs with a PLR session, but the healing continues, depending on the intensity. The complete resolution will be much faster and thorough with daily Reiki self healing.

Q: And what all I experienced during the session was it all my previous birth experience factually or was it fantasy/ imagination/ wishes.

Ans: From my experience with my own past lives, and from hundreds of PLRs done on clients, they are visions from past lives. But you are free to believe it was fantasy/ imagination/ wishes, till it becomes experiential to you.

Q: Do my childhood memories still controlling or contributing, because I actually had forgotten that incident but recently few months ago onwards i was remembering that.

Ans: Yes, all the past traumatic incidents control and contribute to our behaviour and experiences in the present moment. The incidents themselves are buried deep so that we can lead a "normal" life without being weighed down
