Past life regression therapy is based upon the theory that we are eternal beings who carry forward learning and experiences from one human lifetime to another.  As eternal souls, we experience physical life on Earth in a series of human bodies with personalities.  On a soul level, we choose each life and *come back* as a means of learning the lessons.  If you believe we only live one human lifetime, the stories elicited by this therapeutic approach serve as marvelous symbolic metaphors for the issues and situations being faced in the present time.  Whether uncovering “real” past lives or not, this approach has helped many people resolve issues and get past stuck points that were resistant to other healing modalities.  In addition, it’s a fascinating way to experience other aspects of your self and personality.

Of course, not all problems and issues are rooted in experiences from prior lifetimes. It is important to distinguish when we have a current life issue that needs to be addressed through other means. Some of the more significant areas in which past life therapy has traditionally been used are: 

• Troubling behavior and attitude patterns that have persisted over time, despite attempts to change 
• Relationship dynamics, such as intense attraction/aversion to another person, deep-seated issues that defy resolution       
• Phobias – intense fears, such as fear of heights or fear of water, that seem unconnected to an experience in the current life  Some chronic physical ailments, sensations and pains 
• Dominant attitudes or emotions that seem to persist throughout your life

Newer techniques in past life therapy are quite exciting and rewarding. Rather than going after traumatic or troubling memories, we focus on positive experiences. These areas include:

• Accessing strengths and accomplishments from prior lifetimes that can be         brought forward to increase confidence and effectiveness in the present
• Re-experiencing a happy, successful life can bring a sense of balance and peace during difficult times, enabling us to work through our temporary difficulties
• Clarifying direction and life purpose by viewing our blueprint for this lifetime
• Finding prior lifetimes shared with current loved ones, bringing a great sense of reassurance that we are indeed never parted from those we love
• Accessing the wisdom, peace and guidance that is available from the "Life         Between Lives"  where our higher mind and/or Guides can assess our progress and give direction to us for our current lifetime
• Strengthening the clarity of the spiritual nature of our existence
