Dr. Brian Weiss, author of Many Lives, Many Masters, has made many people believers of Past Life Regression therapy from his work.  

He’s a renowned psychiatrist who never believed in anything science couldn’t prove until he worked with one particular patient who convinced him that she had, indeed, lived many past lives.  In fact, going back and visiting these lives was the one cure he accidentally discovered for her after trying for 18 months with traditional therapy to improve her condition, but getting no results.

So… Are past lives real or imagined?  My answer is… it really doesn’t matter.  

Unless someone speaks a language in a past life regression or knows something that they could not have possibly known otherwise, it’s difficult to prove one way or another.  If you believe in past lives and you have a present-day situation that you think can be resolved by exploring your existence in another lifetime, why not?  

I’ve seen people resolve conflicts in their present day life by visiting a past life, describing their purpose back then and their learnings from that lifetime.  I have permission from one of my clients to speak about her experience here now.  We’ll call her Donna to keep her identity confidential.

When I regressed Donna back to another lifetime, she described her life as an important sheriff and lawyer in the Wild West.  When I asked her what her purpose was, it was “to bring justice.”  When I asked her what she learned, she said “I don’t need to go to school.”  I had no idea what that meant.

When I brought her up and out of hypnosis, she was elated and said “Now I understand!”  She went on to tell me that in her current lifetime, she desperately wanted to go to law school, so she had enrolled many years ago with 3 small children at home.  After a year, she dropped out because life just got overwhelming, but not finishing that degree had haunted her for 20 years as her biggest regret.  

After our work together, she told me that because she had already fulfilled that lawyer role in another lifetime, it wasn’t necessary to do it again in this lifetime. It helped her to resolve this inner conflict she had been carrying forward for decades. Just like that… her burden was lifted!

Was it real or imagined??? All that mattered to me and to her was that she had finally found an inner peace.
