Past life regression - why do it ?

Hi folks -

Wishing all of you a stress-free and contented year of spiritual growth and joy.

I'm late again, and have many questions to answer!


Lets take Priyanka's query today -

In essence, why undergo Past Life Regression at all ?

How will knowing about it help in the present one ?

If a person behaves in a certain way, and it is an effect of past life, how can we change that trait in him / her?

Lets see what we can do about these questions.

Why are you Priyanka and me, Shubha ?

Why am I not so many things I wish I was ?

Same goes for you.

So what exactly is THIS life ?

If you open a book at random and start to read, you cannot understand the story.

Similarly, when you think about your current life, many things dont make sense.

Despite very hard work, we repeatedly lose out at the last minute, or we repeatedly get into dissatisfactory relationships, or abusive ones, or are born into families which don't nurture us the way we would like them to.

Why does this happen ?

We have not hurt or upset anyone, yet people seem pretty determined to hurt us.

Certain close relations behave in a way which actually undermines our growth in many ways.

The answer to these puzzles is in our past life.

We dont remember it.

It may not chronologically be the last one, but one which we lived hundreds of years ago.

If we take a persistent problem in a personal relationship, a health problem, a fear or a phobia, the roots invariably go into one or more past lives.

Along with such nasty things, we also bring along many positive traits like mastery in music (Motzart) or maths (Shakuntaladevi), sensitivity, large-heartedness, compassion, capacity to forgive - this list is a long one too, but we dont pause to wonder where these have come from !

Lets take an example.

A person has fear of heights.

She goes to the doctors, the psychiatrists, meditates, does everything possible to overcome it.

It is imperative for her to do so because her dream job is on the 38th floor and the house on the 12th.

All methods have failed to remove the fear on a permanent basis.

Now if she takes a session of Past Life Regression with the intention of finding out the root cause of this phobia, she will definitely go into those moments when she has died by falling off heights in one or several of past lives.

The feeling at death goes with the spirit, right into the cellular memory, to take birth along with the body and mind, as and when the spirit chooses to take birth again.

There is something else.

Each one of us has chosen each and every circumstance and people that 'happen' to us.

Our mother, father, colour of skin, physical/mental deformity, boy/girl-friend, husband/ wife and the lessons to learn.

And all this is BEFORE taking birth, in consultation with the spiritual guides that EACH one has.

So if a girl with Vertigo finds her dream job is on the 38th floor and the dream house on the 12th, then she has chosen to overcome her fear of heights in this lifetime, which is why these tough tests have come her way along with a solution which she has to search and trust.

In a PLR session, she will see herself dying from a fall, the pain, fear etc, but she will watch it from the distance of THIS lifetime, so she will be dispassionate, objective.

She will also, after that death, see herself lying but SHE will see this from above. T

he fact that only the body has died and SHE is complete and safe and free and out of pain will register.

This in turn will make the fear go forever.

Along with fears and phobias, what one definitely starts to lose after PLR sessions is the conscious or unconscious fear of death and learns to look at it as an exam which one has to give to move to the next level.

Now the next answer.

We dont try to change any trait in any other person.

If one wants change, one has to understand that this person is merely reacting to an unconscious memory or stimulus of a past lifetime.

He too has taken birth with his own agenda.

To take an example, if one is in an abusive relationship, it is not the wife's 'duty' to get beaten up.

The lesson for us to learn is to develop strength of mind, stop the abuse, insist on taking the person for medical help and counselling and if everything fails, move on.

If you carry on in the same situation, you are not learning the lesson you both chose for yourself and him, who depended on you to be strong and the pattern will repeat in a later lifetime.

Every lesson is actually about personal accountability and misplaced sympathy or putting up silently helps no one.

A session will take the person to the roots of problem, the actual cause and help in overcoming it.

Past Life Regression tells you a lot about yourself, where you come from and where you intend to go.

It does not automatically change ones behaviour but there is much more calmness and a wider perspective of life.

It gives one the bigger picture!

And believe me, there is always a Bigger Picture!

So long for now -
