What are past lives?
There has been many possible explanations put forward as to what past life experiences may be, and you are free to choose which ever theory feels comfortable with your beliefs.
REINCARNATION: The belief that we return to this world many times in order to experience and evolve. I personally believe that this is the concept that can explain all the experiences that I have dealt with, during many hours of regression therapy.
GENETIC MEMORY: This is a theory suggesting that our memories are passed on from one generation to another through the cell structure or DNA. However, this cannot explain why most people regress back to many different cultural backgrounds.
FANTASY: Are we just making it all up? I do get asked this question occasionally. There are many cases that can be documented through historical research, which can prove the accuracy of the information, far beyond the chances of random imagination.
SOUL MEMORY: Soul memory is referring to the idea that people can access the memory of another soul, through the ‘Akashic’ records - the spiritual record of everything that has ever happened. This can be quite acceptable to some extend, but it doesn’t account for the continuity of character traits which seem to pass from on life to another nor the reincarnation with same group of peoples.
Regardless of personal beliefs, past life regression can work for everyone, so the important thing is to accept it and enjoy the benefits that it brings. It is used for emotional and spiritual healing. The sessions often include additional steps, such as visualizing healing energies, contacting higher beings, or communicating with past-life characters.
Natural regression occurs all of the time. The smell of the perfume of a loved one or the sound of a favourite old record is all it takes to have us whisked back to that past moment from the present life. Sensations that we may not have felt for decades are flooding back in full glory! Hypnotic regression is a simple step from natural regression, yet it takes a very different path. Natural regression relies on cues or anchors that spark off a distant memory. During hypnotic regression these cues are not available, so the hypnotist uses an alternative process that gently leads the client to the desired state and memories of another life.
