A Talk on Regression

Thank you for the invitation to give you a talk on Regression

A little about my background before I start

I have been a NFSH member for 20 years and been practising hypnotherapy for the last 4 years.
My original profession was actually was as an Accountant but I have been running my own IT Company from 1995 up until the end of last year.
I am now a full time healer and Hypnotherapist and I specialise in Regression.

So what is Regression?

Well, essentially for me it is a form of Healing and Empowerment.

Healing as Regression is all about healing memories of past and current lives

And Empowerment  - because of the insight and understanding gained through the Regression process – and this should normally result in the promotion of  personal growth and development

Why do I use this approach?
Simply because Where you are today - and by that I mean, physically, mentally and spiritually - must have its origin or roots in the past

Your beliefs, Your memories, Your environment, The way you think, The way you behave, Your relationships, Any blockages, problems or issues you may have

None of these have just surfaced – we have spent this life time and perhaps many other lifetimes engineering these aspects in ourselves 

So the process of Regression is about locating and reviewing these aspects to find the source of what has made you the person you are today.

It is most definitely a healing process, a catharsis that helps a client clear away any unnecessary baggage

With the added benefit that they begin to see what may need changing in their lives

So it assists someone to move on from where they are now and
often leaves them with a new way of thinking and perhaps the discovery of new potential

Most importantly as a therapist it helps ensure I am treating the source of a clients presenting issue rather than their symptoms – so this primarily why I use this technique

Now I am an Hypnotherpist so by definition I tend to use hypnosis in the regression process

The reason is that it is a very useful tool in that it allows the client to access their own unconscious mind
This is where among other things your memories are stored
It also provides access to your higher self or wise inner being
Who incidentally acts as the door keeper here
They decide what memories and insights you are ready to gain access to at this point in your life
So as a therapist I never bring forward anything into a client’s conscious mind that their higher self has not sanctioned

Hypnosis by the way is a natural state of mind that will all dip into from time to time

So when we are absorbed in anything, like a good film or a good book, or even driving say
We are actually in a light state of hypnosis or trance as it is often referred to - without realising it at the time
And one of its key characteristics or features interestingly enough is - is this is when we at our most receptive
And contrary to what many people fear – not out of control – a professional hypnotherapist will always make sure you remain aware and conscious, with full memory recall

Regression therapy
is quite a big subject as it really covers current life, past life, life between lives and future life’s

but as I only have 30mins
I thought you may be interested in walk through of the basic framework that I use for a past life regression

I might add that most hypnotherapists offer access to past lives but few have been properly trained in past life therapy

So this framework isn’t about proving the existence of your past life characters, it is about providing therapeutic value

Also it’s worth pointing out every past life experience is unique (even between one session and another) and so often invokes elements not included here

 But by and large they normally fit into this basic format

and it acts as a checklist for me as a therapist that I don’t miss anything critical  (by the way is there anybody here who has already done a past life regression?)


Framework

So what does the framework consist of?

Induction

We start with what we call in the trade ‘an Induction’ –
this is where a state of hypnosis is slowly and gently induced involving
a guided relaxation and visualisation technique (it is much like a guided meditation actually)
– for someone new to hypnosis it can takes around 30mins, for those familiar with the technique it can be much shorter.

Embedded in this induction would be the introduction of the client’s own inner power animal and their own inner wise being
– these would be manifested by the client into their own unconscious with my guidance
(the inner wise being will represent different things to different people – e.g. typically their higher self or a guide or angel) –
this has two purposes in first it demonstrates that the client is going to remain in control and two they are being supported on their journey

Transition into a past life
 it’s at this stage I would check with their higher self and their inner wise being (typically the client’s higher self or guide or angel ) whether they are ready to access a past life.

Critically I would then let the clients higher self choose the most appropriate life that needs healing.

Establish the PL character
I would then get the client to go into the physicality of their past life
and start to get them relaying what they are wearing, where they are, who they are, what they are doing, what else is going on, their relationships to others if any etc

to build an understanding of who this character is

– all of this helps the client get fully embodied into that past life character

Explore Past Life story –
Next I would explore their past life story,

what their life is about, what is going on, what they feel about it, their motivation and purpose in that past  life and so on

– Obviously we have literally jumped into the life at a point in time

so I would glean all the relevant information I can at the entry point

and then normally use the technique of prompting them to move to the next significant event in that life (which incidentally I let their unconscious choose) and then glean the relevant information at that point (which obviously will begin to change – especially if our starting point is as a child which it often is)

and so we sort of hop through the life like that, bit by bit, building up a picture of that life story and more importantly discovering what the client feels about that life and towards the other people in it

– Usually I find that a client has between 2 – 5 significant events in a past life time in my experience

Last day of Past Life
Is usually the final significant event in that life

But I would direct them to that point if they didn’t automatically arrive there themselves- at this juncture (what I would do in addition to the other significant events)

 Is to uncover dying thoughts, feelings, reflections – what they feel about their life before their spirit leaves their body

This is important as this provides healing material for later on.

I would then take them through their death into the spirit realms

– contrary to what you might be thinking this is often a very pleasant experience and one that helps take away the fear of death

Healing the past life character

Once they are in the spirit realms I would carry out any healing required

This might be automatic as they often go straight to a place of healing in the spirit realms

Otherwise I would direct this

First on the physical body (to heal any illness, ailments, injuries, etc)

Depending on how they passed over I might be quite innovative here and get the client to use white light, lasers, creams etc

 Also in parallel I would channel spiritual healing at this point myself
– this is usually a very pleasant and profound experience, and creates a nice comforting memory that they can return with

– once that is complete (client will tell me)

 I would then check whether the client feels that there is anything else that needs to be done on a physical level

– this could be that the client’s spirit wants to hug the Past Life character, etc as happened in one case – use of props

– then I would move on to heal any emotions or beliefs stored in the energy body that obviously need clearing (e.g. I may have spotted that they have a belief that no one loves them, say)

and so I would direct the most appropriate healing to soothe those aspects away – work out what is best with the client

 as I mentioned all of this may be done in the spirit realms or if the client prefers they can chose a place in nature or somewhere else that is special  to them

– all the time here, I am just a facilitator and the client is the primary decision maker in terms of what fits, what is appropriate and when something is complete – this theme runs throughout I might say   

Unfinished Business – once this healing is complete I would then check if there is any unfinished business,

May be the outcome of something is unknown for instance e.g. woman dies leaving a baby – so that would represent unfinished business and in this case I would reunite them with the spirit of her baby so that she can have some sort of closure regarding that issue – so again another example of healing

There may be relationship issues – and the client may want to confront in spirit those who caused them pain or suffering in that life – this is an instance where they may feel that they need the support of their power animal or inner wise being and I would give the client the choice of calling in that support

Theses are examples of experiences that can be very cathartic  for the client and represent more healing


Soul retrieval

– the next stage would be to check and identify whether a part of the clients soul split off, retreated, shut down, etc
because say of trauma, emotional upset or whatever, that happened during that PL.
Obviously I would be looking out for potential triggers but once again it would be the client that knows and decides

– so if that has happened I would get the client to invite that part to re-join and integrate back with the rest of their soul so they can become whole again – this is a shamanic technique – once more another act of healing

Notice the pattern of locating, reviewing the source of healing issues – and now systematically working through the healing options as it were – this is the underlying process to regression  

Spirit guide and Review

 I would then take them to the review stage and invite them to call in their most appropriate guide to help them with their review - (or inner wise being or higher self or guide)  - dependent on their concept of guides

– this in my experience is the most rewarding stage
where the greatest insight and understanding come in which acts as a catalyst for personal growth

Past Life  Review – review that past life with guide – discovering what were the major lessons in that life, how did they do, were there any recurring patterns – usually this is the point of realisation where they can understand the purpose of that incarnation and perhaps what they failed to appreciate whilst on the earth plane 

Current Life Review - Integration with this Life - what similar patterns can you identify with your spirit guide from that PL and this life – recommendations please from as we have the higher presence of the guide – future sessions?

Separation
Bathe the PL character in love, light and healing energies

Separate subtle energies from Past Life character
Check if there are any unresolved issues – may need to do some more healing
Would they like to integrate energies of PL character into their being or return them to their rightful place    

Emergence – I would then guide them back to a full consciousness – In total 90mins
