Is Past Life Regression Therapy a Belief Based Healing….?

A famous quote from "Dream On" book is,

             “Doubts are good. Confusion is excellent. Questions are awesome. All these are attempts to expand the wisdom of mind.”

When first time my close friend enquired about past life regression therapy, I was taken aback. His questions were "What is past life regression therapy?",  "What are the benefits of Past Life Regression Therapy?" and  "Is there any scientific proof of Past Life?". Innocence with which, he enquired, I knew his intention was genuine. For a moment, I was surprised, how is he not aware of such a prominent topic. Thanks to my Past Life Regression Therapy training, with ease I cleared all his doubts. However, as time passed almost everyone in my circle had nearly similar questions. This was realization for me, although there are numerous articles and books written on this subject, majority of people are not aware of advantages of PLRT (Past Life Regression Therapy). One of the reason may be, this is not their area of interest. One more strange thing happened, most of the time when I explained advantages of PLRT, it is always treated with cynicism. I always see a kind of question mark, is it really true?

As per the discussion with my friends and clients, I realized, another reason for ignorance of Past Life Regression Therapy is over reliance on Medical Science. We almost surrendered our complete believe to Science. For every small thing we prefer to look for scientific reasoning or assurance from practitioner. There are uncountable number of cases for which Science has almost no answer. During discussion with my friends, I quoted few classic cases on Past Life which are worldwide investigated.

One such case is of Anita Moorjani. Anita Moorjani, is an ethnic Indian woman from Hong Kong, experienced a truly remarkable NDE (near death experience) which has been documented on the Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) website as one of the most exceptional accounts on their archives. She had end-stage cancer and on February 2, 2006, doctors told her family that she only had a few hours to live. When she entered into a near-death experience (NDE), she discovered one of life’s greatest truths: "Heaven is not a destination; it’s a state of being". Following her NDE, Anita experienced a remarkable total recovery of her health.  Her cancer was miraculously healed and she was free of disease within few weeks. There were plenty of research carried out on her recovery from cancer both in USA and UK. Her medical records were scrutinized multiple times however Medical Science has no answers for her recovery from last stage of Cancer. What layman calls miracles is what Science calls "Spontaneous remission of symptoms". Her whole remarkable journey has been documented in "Dying to be me" book. In her own words

                "I believe that the greatest truths of the universe don't lie outside, in the study of the stars and the planets. They lie deep within us, in the magnificence of our heart, mind, and soul. Until we understand what is within, we can't understand what is without. -  Anita Moorjani"

Another case is of Catherine. Catherine was suffering from recurring nightmares and chronic anxiety attacks. Her life had always been burdened with fears. She feared water, feared choking to the extent that she could not swallow pills, feared airplanes, feared the dark, and she was terrified of dying. In order to feel safe, she often slept in the walk-in closet in her apartment. Trauma was to such an extent, she would awake frequently. When her fears and nightmares had nearly paralyzed her, she visited a well know psychiatrist Dr. Brian Weiss.  Initially Dr Weiss treated her symptoms with mild anti-anxiety or antidepressant medications to make her more comfortable. No medications improved her condition. When all traditional methods of therapy failed, Dr Weiss, turned to hypnosis. Dr Weiss was astonished and skeptical when Catherine began recalling past-life traumas which seemed to hold the key to her problems.  With each session of hypnotherapy there were dramatic improvement in her case. Whole journey of Catherine with Dr. Weiss has been documented in bestselling book "Many Lives, Many Masters".  Dr Weiss life wasn't same post Catherine treatment. Following quote from his book "Many Lives, Many Masters" best describes his entire experience.

      “One of the most important of life´s lesson is to learn independence, to understand freedom. This means independence from attachments, from results, from opinions, and from expectations. Breaking attachments leads to freedom, but breaking attachments does not mean abandoning a loving and meaningful relationship, a relationship that nourishes your soul. It means ending dependency on any person or thing. Love is never a dependency. - Dr Brain Weiss”

Yet another case of Shanti Devi. The story of Shanti Devi’s reincarnation remains until this day, one of the most amazing and best documented cases of past life recall in modern times. Shanti Devi as a little girl, began to remember details of her past life. At age of six, she revealed many information about her past life. She even gave a detailed account of her death following childbirth. Her revelations were so accurate that everyone was perplexed.  Dr Ian Stevenson, the leading expert, in reincarnation research, from the University of Virginia had investigated her case. Dr Stevenson worked long and hard to find infallible evidences on this case and came up with some startling facts which established the veracity of shanti's claims. Whole story of Shanti Devi is well documented in "Children Who Remember Previous Lives" book by Dr. Stevenson. 

Post quoting all these examples, I could see brightness in eyes of my friends. There was eager and curiosity to learn more as I spoke. I spoke most of the benefits of past life regression as listed on Amarantos website. With permission of my Guide (who happens to be my mentor on PLRT), attaching the benefits of PLRT as it is. Same can be found on Amarantos website as well. 

Although most of my friends or clients were convinced about advantages of Past Life Regression Therapy, however a thought of recognition from Science bothered me for a while. Subsequently, I read multiple articles and research papers on Scientific acceptance of PLRT. Despite the fact there are uncountable articles on benefits of past life regression, scientific acceptance of past life regression therapy is not widely acknowledged. This is because science is still very much in the dark when it comes to the great mysteries of life and consciousness.  Group of scientists from Russia (Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology), USA, Australia and Swiss succeeded in reversing time albeit on a very, very tiny scale. They have used single particles of light (photons) to simulate quantum particles travelling through time. They showed that one photon can pass through a wormhole and then interact with its older self. Their finding was published in Nature Communications .  However, all these researches are at inception level. At present Science cannot yet tell us, for sure, if the mind is contained within the brain or if it is at least partially external. There are still lot more unknowns and researches has to be carried out in Science before endorsing Past Life Regression Therapy.

As Lord Buddha said

"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you.”

I am convinced.

I have to grow from the inside out. Life is full of unanswerable questions including how to live and what to live for. I know, it takes extreme courage to live life with Principles but I have decided to put my heart, mind and soul into all my acts.

Jai Shri Krishna.
