Past Life Regression

Posted by pravinojha at 02:42 PM on April 15, 2008
Past Life Regression entails a belief in the theory of reincarnation. This Regression works on the premise that the cause of a patient's physical and/or psychological ailments might result from a trauma that a patient had experienced in an earlier existence, or at any rate, by some sort of personal ordeal buried deep within the subconscious.

Practitioners of Past Life Regression use different methods depending on the background of the practitioner and the level at which he sees past life for inducing patients to regress to their past lives and identify the root of their present problems. The next step is for the patient to project the present self onto a past personality. The third step is to come to terms with what has been relived through regression. The therapy proves to be beneficial only when the patient is able to accept the past trauma and is ready to progress beyond that.

In his book, The Book of the Spirits (1857), Kardec writes about "spirits" who spoke through mesmerized patients about reincarnation and karma. But the first person to use regression as a therapy was probably Dr Denys Kelsey. Co-authored with Joan Grant, Kelsey's Many Lifetimes (1967) is the first book on Past Life Regression, which focuses more on the therapeutic aspect of the technique than on stories of relived experiences. In some ways the book triggered off tussles between a predominantly spiritual and a growing scientific/clinical attitude towards the system of Past Life Regression.

Schools of thought dealing with Past Life Regression vary according to their degree of leaning towards the theory of reincarnation.
 
But most of these differing views finally all come down to Patanjali's theory of the chitta (soul) being burdened by samskaras (impressions) from past existence and weighing down on our present lives. And therefore the need to cleanse the soul of its entire excess burden by identifying the source of all suffering and uprooting it right from its origin.
 
Swami Vivekananda wrote: "We have the power to be what we are, and whatever we wish to be, we have the power to make ourselves." If what we are has been the result of our past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act."
 
Here through our service we help a person understand the blocks that is not letting him enjoy his life. The benefit of this service is that the native is able to overcome his karmic problems and can enjoy his life.
