PLR, Past Life Regressions
QUESTION: Masters, I have been a fan of your site and page for a while, reading your guidance to different people. I noticed that you rarely talk about past lives, and tell many people that their past lives are not important. You told me the same thing. I am past life regression therapist, and saw many past lives in practice sessions and trades with fellow practitioners…I wonder – if my past lives do not affect my current life – why I was shown all these past lives in hypnosis? Why I was interested in past lives and believed in reincarnation since I was a kid? What can a person gain from past life regression if “past lives do not matter”? ~Irina, United States
ANSWER: Souls are immortal. They never die and have many experiences where they enter a body in order to learn lessons within the duality of Earth. The wisdom that they glean from a lifetime is packed away until they have some reason or use for bringing it back to the consciousness while in a body. Most lives have no connection to the others but are for studying various aspects of being human.
Sometimes, when a soul has not learned everything they wished to in a previous life, they bring back similar situations in a subsequent life; then the past life is vital to progressing in the current life. An example would be souls working on all aspects of self-worth who didn’t understand how to value themselves in a past life and are now feeling the same worthlessness in this life.
Examining what they experienced in the previous life will help them understand and work with the issues in the current life. Being able to re-experience a difficult situation and watching what you did from the outside, where you cannot miss things that were not within your awareness the first time, helps to give direction and healing. This is one of the biggest reasons for past-life regressions.
Another use for previously gained knowledge is if one mastered a physical trait and could now use that information to move forward. Bringing the information “back” can be done easily with past-life regression hypnosis or very deep meditation. Going back through lifetimes can be very stimulating and encouraging, allowing one to get the most out of a life.
Having access to previous lives is generally never taken into consideration when a soul is planning for a new incarnation. There are too many variables that can cause the person never to come into the knowledge concerning past-life regressions. Depending on their familial environment, some factors may prevent access to the practice of past-life regression, particularly where something prohibits the belief in reincarnation.
