The Value of Exploring Past Lives in Counseling
Past life regression is the deliberate use of various methods to retrieve memories of experiences in other lifetimes. While re-experiencing past life events often brings about healing and change, the greater goal of looking beyond the veil of separation into the memories of the subconscious mind is to gather knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of the deeper aspects of one's personality and character and overcome limitations. The grander objective is to evolve spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically in the pursuit of completion and wholeness.
Pursuing past life memories derives from the desire to put present life experiences, personality, and character into context within the entire soul progression. To illustrate, imagine that you have amnesia. You cannot remember anything that happened before you were 21 years old. What would you know about yourself?
How could you understand your relationships with other people? What would you know about your personality traits, the origins of your health issues, the basis for your choice of occupation, or the source of your knowledge and wisdom? Without substantiating evidence, it isn't easy to know yourself honestly.
Now, expand that example to the bigger picture of the soul. Only by obtaining information about your previous lifetimes can you gain broader knowledge of your character, personality, purpose, overall progress, and the nature of your soul.
While clients may come to your office seeking a past life regression simply out of curiosity, the more sophisticated seeker wishes to access this information as a means to a greater end. She wants answers to questions that have arisen in her life, which cannot be resolved without access to knowledge outside the boundaries of her present-life memories.
Clients unaware of the connection between this present life and past ones may be pleasantly surprised when you introduce this tool as a means to achieve their goals. Past life regression affords clients unique opportunities to more clearly understand behavior patterns, relationships, health issues, addiction, life purpose, talents and interests, and recurring challenges. Past life exploration can expand their perspective of themselves, others, and the world at large.
The excerpted client sessions in a later module exemplify a range of presenting problems exquisitely resolved through past life regression techniques.
