A Guide To Past Life Regression

We recommend that you should become friendly, develop rapport and tell your mentor your
major problems even if he does not explore in detail because his suggestions are guided by the
content you reveal before him. Always remember that your guide is a human being whose
services you are seeking because of his understanding and experience. He is there to assist you in
solving your problems. You do not have to be afraid of him and engage in any power game.
Expectation of Total Loss of Awareness/Sleep:
Please note that there shall not be a total loss of awareness during past life regression; instead
there shall be dual awareness: (a) awareness of past experiences and (b) awareness of current
external environment like people whispering around you, doors being opened. Also you would
not be asleep during the experience of past life regression.
How to Ensure Whether You Were in Trance:
You may request your guide prior to the session to conduct arm levitation, arm rigidity and eye
lock test for trance. If you pass the test; you may feel assured that you were in trance. If you were
not able to pass the test; may be that you are in analytical mode at that point of time.
Recommendations for Analytical Persons:
If you find yourself an analytical person, then you should remember that this designation is not
of permanent nature. The suggestibility component may appear and manifest itself later on. Our
recommendations are (1) procure a self-hypnosis audio and listen to it for a few weeks (2) be
more open, co-operative and collaborative with your therapist so that your mind comes to trust
the process (3) try to explore if you are harbouring any myth and get it clarified (4) freely discuss
about your understanding, concepts and expectations with your guide (5) try to cultivate
samarpan bhav to your guide (6) try to refrain from applying your logic and analysis
during the process of regression as it can be done later on after the experience. This is also
necessary because you are not seeking past life regression services for your active analysis and
comparisons during the trance. The context of trance and regression narrows down your
concentration and active critical faculties, hence you may not be able to analyze the situations
completely at that point of time. So try to experience the session and collect your trance
experiences in their pure form without applying much logic to them (7) try to get absorbed in
your feelings, sensations and visualizations during trance keeping your evaluations and
judgement aside (8) take a break for a few weeks and present again to your guide. Remember
that analytical mindset is inhibitory to the process of past life regression and you should not
expect a deeper level of experience.
Mode of Revelations in Regression:
Wide variations are observed in regression experiences across individuals. The possible modes
are full visualizations like a movie; partial visualizations like a slide show; fragmentary and
partial glimpses of past life, feelings as if the experiences are being imagined actively; not sure
whether it was a true regression or simply a creation of imagination, comparisons of revelations
with ones known and past experiences; an experience of simple ideas with or without any
visual images (Khyal sa aa raha hai; kuchh dikh nahi raha hai); altered feelings; just sensing. All
these forms are normal and natural. You dont have to trouble your mind with any of these
experiences to justify or negate regression experiences.
Session Duration:
A session of past life regression may last from one hour to three hours. You may get lots of ideas
to experience and explore during the regression which may lengthen the process. So do not
present yourself for past life regression in hurry. Keep a full day or evening aside for regression
experience.
Excessive Eagerness:
We have observed that excessive eagerness for a regression session is counter productive to
successful regression experience. If you find yourself excessive eager you may have to calm
down and adopt a casual approach to regression.
Excessive Emotional Discharges:
There are some subjects who become deeply engrossed in their regression experiences and
become too emotional manifested by weeping, crying, shouting, excessive actions. Theoretically,
all these discharges have healing potentials.
Past Life Regression is Not a Cure for All Diseases:
People are approaching with an expectation to get cure for each and every ailment and
disabilities. Past Life regression is in developing phase and you can adopt an exploratory attitude
for these procedures. If you get success it is alright else you may surf other modalities best suited
to your needs.
Side Effects:
There may be some minor and temporary side effects of past life regression. Feelings of anxiety,
fear, sadness, irritability, guilt feelings and pain may appear after a session. If these feelings are
within tolerance level you may wait them to subside; if marked you may like to consult a
psychiatrist or medical practitioner for getting appropriate prescription. If there is any major
condition, as a rule you should get appropriate medical consultation. We also advise subjects to
get medical consultation before undergoing past life regression. If you have any hangover after
the session you may like to travel by public transport system or another person drive your
vehicle. Discuss with your guide freely.
Life Threatening Condition:
If you have any life threatening condition like cardiac problems, we recommend you not to
experiment with past life regression or contact any medical practitioner who specializes in past
life regression to address your both the needs.
Which Type of Subjects are Good Candidates for Past Life Regression:
The suggestible subjects are the best candidates for regression experience. However, analytical
persons may also experience regression with extended efforts. There are some suggestible
subjects who fail to have adequate regression experience. In such cases we recommend, self-
regression audios and more sessions with an open and collaborative attitude.
Recommended Reading:
We recommend that before undergoing regression experience, a person should read International
Bestseller book by Dr. Brian Weiss: Many Lives, Many Masters which is easily available in
most major cities in the world.
Jheel Baba:
Please remember that Jheel Baba is not any living physical form in this universe, just take it as a
personification of your own higher self. Babaji need be invited with reverence under trance only.
It is a divine being which may appear in any form to assist and heal during regression. Jheel
Baba is faith friendly, you do not have to have any changes in your existing belief and faith
system. Take it as a specialized procedure.
Expectation of Something Mysterious and Unknown Experiences:
Past Life regression is a naturally human phenomena. There is nothing hidden or mysterious in
the procedure. Take it just like any other human experiences of absorption and visualization.
Validity of Past Life Recall:
Evidences are yet to accumulate to empirically demonstrate that the regression experience
represent valid recall of past life experiences. Till then it is just provisional.
Concept of Spirit Attachment and Releasement:
There are some practitioners who have integrated these concepts in their past life regression. We
are in the process of active exploration of these procedures and would recommend Edith Fiore's
Unquiet Dead for interested audience.
Awakened With a Feeling of Imagination and Confusion:
After a successful regression session, some persons come up with a feeling that they were
actively imagining the content of regression experience. It should be remembered that it is
ones own mind in which the content of regression emerged. So it is OK to have such a
feeling.
Amnesia:
Amnesia is a failure in remembering regression experience. It may be partial or complete. In
partial amnesia, a person remembers some of his experiences, whereas in complete amnesia there
is total failure in retrieval failure of regression experiences. Amnesia is a characteristics of
deeper levels of trance and seen in a few cases only. Normally, you are likely to remember most
regression experiences. If there is amnesia, you do not have to try hard to retrieve regression
experiences. Some subjects get spontaneous memory of regression experiences after some time
gap and others may not remember them at all. Amnesia is a normal and natural phenomenon.
There is nothing abnormal in it.
False Memory Syndrome:
In some subjects, it is observed that in age regression some memories emerge which appear to be
quite true to the subject particularly molestation by family members in childhood. If
recommended read about False Memory Syndrome on Wikipedia
Gender Issues:
If you are a female receiving past life regression services from a male guide, it is recommended
that you take a confidant along with you to the person who can watch the entire process from a
distance for your own good. There is nothing hidden and secret in the procedure.
Media Cases:
The media present best cases after comprehensive screening for obvious reasons. One can not
equate a similar regression in each and every case.
Remote Healing:
The concept of remote healing in past life regression and life between life regression contexts is
purely exploratory. There can not be any claim of its efficacy. If you are using it have an open
mind. It may or may not work.
Future Life Progression:
Progression is the act of moving forward; a proceeding in a course; motion onward. The most
useful books for progression are (a) Bruce Goldberg: Past Lives, Future Lives (b) Brian Weiss:
Same Soul Many Bodies. The Book of Dr. Bruce Goldberg is excellent.
Integration and Debriefing:
After a regression session you and the guide are expected to share the experiences of the session
and relate the material to your issues. If regression was not successful, then you should mutually
identify possible reasons of failure so that success can be expected in next sessions. Do not jump
to any conclusions on the reason for failure. Take sufficient time to explore alternative
possibilities. If you feel to share your experiences with your guide you may send an email or
speak over phone with permission and convenience.
Belief in Reincarnation:
Belief in reincarnation is not required for past life regression. Your willingness, co-operation and
suggestibility are the requirement. past life regression is independent of belief system.
Skeptics Viewpoint:
Skeptics and Rationalists do not believe in reincarnation and past life regression to the extent that
they condemn the whole procedure of past life regression, mostly because this phenomena can
not be explained through known scientific theories. We also place these procedures under
unexplained facts of science even though the obvious implication is in favor of reincarnation
concepts. We say so because the exact mechanism of reincarnation has not be discovered yet.
We hypothesize that with advancement of scientific methods these concepts may get established.
Some Possible Reasons for Failure in Hypnosis and Paslife Regression:
We have identified following reasons of failure in successful past life regression; there could be
many more. (a) analytical mindset (b) excessive eagerness (c) expectation of total loss of
awareness (d) expectation of something mysterious and unknown (e) unconscious resistance.
Past life regression is not a power game between you and your guide. A guide by virtue of his
knowledge and experience tries to help a person, hence it is an essentially a collaborative and co-
operative approach.
What To Do In Cases of Failure: (a)
Try to explore above myths and concepts and discuss the matter with your guide in detail (b)
You may opt to get a referral for another practitioner.
(We have compiled above guidelines based on our own experiences. Other practitioners may
have their own experiences and a set of guidelines. We would like to welcome suggestions and
questions from the persons to update our database and help others to resolve their problems
through past life regression.)
Responses:
My strategy is to avoid the great enthusiasm bit and ensure that I explain the process and set the
right expectations with a client as an orientation right at the beginning at the time of giving the
appointment. Typically the bell curve helps to explain hypnotisability as a functional normally
distributed natural ability, as well as the fact
that whatever happens during the session is a form of partnership between the therapist and client
and that I'm simply a facilitator - who will make similar efforts for all cases - but that the
outcome is not in my hands... All wisdom, healing, grace - comes from the clients higher self...
Setting the right expectation beforehand helps, and it doesn't sound like an 'excuse' afterwards in
case of a failure. I'm also a little concerned by how some folks believe/propagate PLR to be a
shortcut solution to all problems in life which can magically vanish after undergoing this - rather
than a healing tool - which in itself can raise unrealistic expectations and cause failure.

"Setting the right expectation beforehand " is the most appropriate mantra. Also PLR is not the
only solution. Simple techniques like body scan, locating of dark energies, vacuum location in
body (soul fragmentation and recovery ) are all easier to do and will help gain the trust of the
client. These do not require great visualization and can resolve many issues. Asking the client to
imagine sleep in a dark room and look inside him etc itself can evoke enough regression to work
on. Simply focusing on the pain by the patient can over a period of time evoke causes and
solutions. Please remember "past life" includes yesterdays, last month events ,school days
regression, age regression etc can do wonders. The patient himself has the problem and the
solution. Just guide him to a natural and logical path. Never feel lost. Live to the situation and
innovate tailor made appropriate methods to the situation and maintain the flow. There are no
failures but feedbacks and learning all the time from every patient. I always see a win win
situation to all. I am enjoying the job with all divinity - thanks to the leads and enlightenment
bestowed by Dr Jain.
Believe in you and your abilities. All the best.
