Sharing anecdotal cases

Anecdote comes from the Greek αν-έκδοτος which means un-published. Some cases are so bizarre or so exceptional that most therapists are not willing to share, either because they are taboo, or, because they are too far-fetched, or both. Here colleagues are encouraged to come up front without fear and express themselves freely. It is time for the skeletons to come out of the closet.

On womb battles

In this issue therapists share some cases from their practice concerning the spiritual dimensions of miscarriages, abortions, as well as the vanishing twin syndrome.  As the name depicts, this last syndrome is a condition in which one of a set of twins or multiple embryos dies in utero, disappears, or … Read the rest

Since most of most people’s previous lives tend to have been rather boring, it is fairly unusual either to regress someone to, or to find oneself in, the life of somebody famous. Roger Woolger once did a session with a client who was filled with guilt as he was convinced that he had been the captain of the Titanic. The author of this article, who is a writer as well as a Deep Memory Process therapist, was initially surprised to find that she had once been well known as the ex-fiancée of a great English composer. She was later astounded when a reader of her book on this topic contacted her to say that he believed himself … Read the rest

On an excursion into the ruins of the Ancient Puebloan People of the American Southwest the author encountered two spirits who guided him to an expanded and more heartfelt understanding of the region. This article also addresses questions regarding the true nature of reality and the effort to make a conscious integration of what is known in common parlance as “supernatural” with the current materialist worldview.

I woke with a snap, like a flash of light buried deep in my brain that was so powerful it seemed I could see it with the back of my eye. It was as if I could hear it as well, and as my senses began to turn inside … Read the rest

The following is an account of one man’s past-life regression as an ancient samurai. This regression was extremely important to him, as it reminded him of the energy work he had done in the past and confirmed his proclivities toward the martial arts. It also reinforced his belief in his own integrity and solidified his desire to be his ideal self in his current lifetime.

I changed some of his personal details to protect his identity, but the following text is pretty much verbatim, as he spoke in hypnosis. I have done several regressions with “N. U.” and they have all been fascinating. He continues to see me several times a year … Read the rest

A unique case is presented involving what appeared to be a typical past life regression but in reality included a few interesting surprises. During a regression with a 36-year-old French-speaking farmer the author encountered an unusual spirit from America who makes an unexpected and profound appearance.

Our work becomes a big discovery when healing happens. We never know what is going to occur in the sessions. First of all we investigate, we ask, we tune in, and we ask again. We tune into our client’s energy and their thoughts and feelings. At some point we become one with our clients, and we both know what to do and how to solve and heal the problem the client … Read the rest

The author describes the three major shamanic healing practices of the Peruvian Q’ero shamans—illumination, spirit releasement and soul retrieval – and shows how these very ancient practices differ from Past Life Therapy and spirit releasement therapy in practical application

I first began doing Past Life Therapy (PLT) in 1984, taking part in the training offered by the Association for Past Life Research and Therapy, eventually becoming the first graduate of that program. I was very impressed both with what I was learning and with the results I was getting with my clients. During the same time, I learned to do spirit releasement therapy, acquiring that technique from the work of Dr. William Baldwin. Back then, … Read the rest

Sunday November 11, 2001. It was my great pleasure to attend the Master Summit with Hazel Denning, Ron Jue, and Winafred Lucas. Dr. Lucas conducted an experiential Past Life Regression with her group of 80 plus attendees.

As the door opened to my regression experience, I saw a small rolling hill that overlooked a beautiful green pasture with many large trees in the background. When the door shut behind me the scene quickly became a WW1 battlefield; gray, overcast and mud everywhere, devoid of all life. Leading three other soldiers, I walked up over the small hill and was immediately shot (my impression, I was an English soldier). While dying in the … Read the rest

When we do regressions, we do that usually for a clear reason: to solve a psychological or psychosomatic problem. When we hit a past life, we hit the story in a traumatic situation that is directly related to the problem the session is about. Often, we want or even need to know a bit more of that life, if only to understand reactions, options, and circumstances. How did one become so submissive or withdrawn or cruel?

Also to enhance credibility or to satisfy curiosity, we may explore a past life more as a complete story, though usually limited to a number of highlights. We also may have clients look back at their life, to find new insights, … Read the rest
