It is more likely that instead of re-living actual past lives, you are imagining (sometimes vividly) something that is being suggested, or that you would like to imagine. And remember, this is false memories of the current life, not a previous one! If we can’t remember accurately our own lives, what chance is there of accurate memory of a past-life? False memories can feel every bit as real as actual memories. There is a significant body of evidence to show that regression – asking someone to re-live current life experiences, can lead to false memory syndrome, unless the therapist is extremely careful not to use leading questions or suggestions. For example, asking “As you see yourself in your previous life, what do you see yourself wearing?” But for someone who actually hadn’t imagined any previous existence, this assumptive question pushes them to start ‘imagining’ that life. A seemingly innocuous but leading question can send the subject into imagining things that simply aren’t true. During hypnosis, subjects can be extremely suggestible, not only directly, but indirectly. However, for hypnotherapists who take an evidence-based approach – where they use techniques proven to work in proper research studies – there are more simple explanations of how past life regression may ‘appear’ to work. This means that a practitioner has performed past life regression with a client and believes that they have uncovered proof of a previous incarnation. Some practitioners of past-life regression say this is because no university funding is available, so the only ‘proof’ is from ‘empirical studies’. Unfortunately, there is no scientific proof of this. The theory is that while in hypnosis, people can access memories of a previous life. Past life regression – not to be confused with regression, or time-line therapy – claims to help individuals uncover or re-live a previous incarnation. Hypnotherapy enables your mind to imagine things, to focus on single ideas, guided by your therapist, who can suggest ideas and help you create positive images and hear positive coping statements while in hypnosis.
