Past Life Therapy Reincarnation
The concept of reincarnation suggests the possibility of embodiment and re-embodiment of the eternal spirit, the continuation of the soul consciousness, from one physical lifetime to the next physical lifetime in a human body. This ancient doctrine holds that spirit separates from Source, God, Goddess, All That Is as a spark of individual consciousness. In the spiritual journey through eternity the restless spark, or soul, may choose to experience existence in a physical form, the human body. Once the carnal pleasures have been savored, the soul consciousness is "caught," and repeatedly drawn back into the physical existence by these appetites.
During the course of a human lifetime, the essence of human interaction is often misperceived and misinterpreted then compared with past memories. The conscious mind, or ego, develops false assumptions, draws baseless conclusions, makes faulty judgements and survival-based decisions, all of which are inappropriate to the current situation. These errors of mind (the mental residue) pervert the interactions with other people and lead to emotional residues of anger and resentment, fear, sadness and loss, guilt and remorse, distortions of love and the pain of unrequited or lost love.
Physical residue is accumulated as the result of any injury to the body, including surgery. Subsequent lives may show evidence of past physical trauma in the form of illness, accident, physical tendencies such as obesity, even birthmarks at the site of a mortal wound.
These mental, emotional and physical residues are carried from lifetime to lifetime, distorting current experience much like a filter over a camera lens influences a photograph.
In the spirit space between lives, sometimes called the Light, there is a Planning Stage where conditions are designed for the coming physical lifetime. Prior to embodiment, the beings involved in past interactions work together to develop situations which will allow for the resolution of their residues and the evolvement of inner peace and harmony.
Once a being becomes enmeshed in the lifetime, the greater spiritual reality is forgotten. The planned situations arise, and free will allows choices at the time. Some choices lead to resolution and growth. Other choices lead to fear, perpetuation of the conflict, and persistence and aggravation of the residues. There is no judgement of right or wrong involved in these choices. The outcomes affects only those who make the choices.
The deep subconscious mind retains the memories of every thought, emotional feeling, motive, desire, behavior, and full sensory recall of every physical experience from every embodiment, and from the non-physical experience since the first separation from the Source. The total memory seems to be related to the so-called Akashic Record, the total register of everything which has ever occurred. There is some evidence that the Akashic Record also contains everything which will ever occur.
From a spiritual place of perfect honesty and integrity, each being strives to balance every jot and tittle of past indiscretions, transgressions, injustices, and disharmonies of every sort. In addition to balancing the ledger of the ego, each being seeks to learn and grow in the higher or transpersonal qualities of human beingness such as honesty, patience, altruism, honor, loyalty, integrity and all aspects of love. This is the process of seeking perfection, of manifesting totally the perfect seed of the Source which lies at the center of each being.
All the restless, wandering, unhealed souls will finally reach the peace of God, and none will be left behind.
Past Life Regression Therapy
Many people reject the idea of looking into a past lifetime for problems as they claim to have enough troubles in the present life. This sounds reasonable; however, in clinical practice, clients discover that present life conflicts and problems often stem from traumatic events in prior lifetimes.
Past life memories may come to us in many guises: the déjà vu experience; recurrent dreams, either of a specific location, or of a frightening event; a crippling phobia or unexplained, groundless fear. People who fear water, public speaking, or heights (to name just a few common phobias) often uncover the memory of a death by drowning, hanging or burning at the stake before a crowd, or falling from a high place.
As these past life traumas are explored and resolved in therapy, the phobias cease to exist for the clients. The process of past life therapy is being used effectively by mental health professionals in many countries. Through the emotional feelings and body sensations associated with an identified present life problem, the client is prompted to locate the source or cause of the problem.
This leads to the discovery of a pain-filled memory in a past life. The client, in the personality of the past-life character, is guided through the traumatic episode in the lifetime, and finally through the death experience. The therapist assists the client in resolving any remaining emotional issues, any unfinished business in that life, and to integrate the experience into the present life situation.
The past life character, as a spirit, moves away from the body and the death scene and fully into the Light. The narrative is similar to descriptions of the near death experience (NDE). Many emotional problems and conflicts are quickly and effectively resolved through past life regression therapy, usually in far fewer sessions than with conventional therapy.
Many physical ailments are considered to be psychosomatic, and these conditions may begin to diminish or cease altogether through past life regression therapy.
The Meaning of Past Life Recall
There are at least four levels of meaning of the past life regression experience.
1. At the most superficial level it is fun and interesting to explore one's past, to see oneself as the various characters in earlier dramas. It is simply an excursion through time.
2. The second level is the therapeutic experience. Many emotional problems and conflicts are quickly and effectively resolved through past life regression therapy, usually in far fewer sessions than with conventional therapy. Many physical ailments are considered to be psychosomatic, and these conditions may begin to diminish or cease altogether with past life regression therapy.
3. The third level is an educational journey into the spiritual reality, the so-called "inner planes" of consciousness. The subject can experience the greater reality of spirit, past, present, and in some cases future. There is a deeper realization of purpose in life, or lives, a clearer sense of the meaning of relationships and the transpersonal aspects of existence.
4. The fourth level of the altered state regression experience is the ineffable feeling of Oneness, of being connected to all and everything in the Universe, being part of God, Goddess, All That Is, the Source.
Past lives therapy has proven to be a rapid and effective method of healing present life issues. It is a profound experience for the therapist as well as the client. It is truly a spiritual psychotherapy.
