Studies on the Effectiveness and Client Satisfaction in Past-life or Reincarnation Therapy. – Ronald Vand Der Maesen – Is. 36
Studies on the Effectiveness and Client Satisfaction in Past-life or Reincarnation Therapy. by Ronald Vand Der Maesen (The Netherlands) Introduction Over the last 30 years, there has been growing interest in reincarnation or past-life therapy in the Western world, particularly among individuals who adopt a holistic orientation towards health. This perspective emphasises the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit in the maintenance of well-being (Astin, 1998). Past-life therapy is a form of psychotherapy that may be classified within the field of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The therapy is based on the assumption that current psychological, psychosomatic, or chronic physical problems may originate in traumatic experiences associated with so-called former lives, or with prenatal and perinatal conditions. According to past-life therapy theory, unresolved traumatic experiences may continue to influence the individual in the present life. The therapeutic process involves guiding the client towards the original event believed to underlie the
Exploratory Study – Role of Emotional Expression and the Scope of Clinical Hypnotherapy in the Treatment of Thyroid Disorders – Ameeta Thacker, Khushi. S – Is. 36
Exploratory Study – Role of Emotional Expression and the Scope of Clinical Hypnotherapy in the Treatment of Thyroid Disorders. by Ameeta Thacker, Khushi. S (India) Abstract: This mixed-methods study examines associations among emotional expression, self-esteem, interpersonal communication, and thyroid disorders, and evaluates clinical hypnosis as a complementary mind–body intervention. A cross‑sectional survey of 120 adults with thyroid conditions found that 57.3% reported difficulties with communication or emotional expression. Twelve in‑depth case studies of clinical hypnosis indicated qualitative improvements in emotional regulation, confidence, self‑discipline, reductions in psychosomatic symptoms, and overall health. These exploratory results suggest clinical hypnosis may enhance psychological well‑being alongside conventional thyroid care. Larger, controlled trials are needed to confirm efficacy and clarify mechanisms. The findings support integrating mind–body interventions into conventional thyroid treatment frameworks.

A Phenomenological Phase Process in Life Between Lives Regression Therapy: Integrating Gestalt Therapy, Congruence, and Ho’oponopono – Ildar Safarov – Is.36
A Phenomenological Phase Process in Life Between Lives Regression Therapy: Integrating Gestalt Therapy, Congruence, and Ho’oponopono by Ildar Safarov (Russian Federation) Abstract Background: Regression therapists frequently observe recurring therapeutic patterns during Life Between Lives (LBL) work that appear to extend beyond the recollection of autobiographical memories. Although these experiences have been widely described in clinical practice, the processes through which they facilitate psychological transformation remain insufficiently articulated. Objective: This paper explores a recurring phase process observed during regression therapy and examines its relationship to Gestalt therapeutic principles, Carl Rogers’ concept of congruence, and the four-stage sequence of reconciliation described in the Ho’oponopono tradition. Method: Three clinical case studies are presented in which clients entered Life Between Lives experiences during regression therapy. Particular attention is given to the clients’ reported shifts in perspective, the degree to which they identified with what they experienced as their deeper or soul-level identity, and the

Reframing Suicide Beyond Psychopathology and Social Determinism – Athanasios Komianos – Is. 36
Reframing Suicide Beyond Psychopathology and Social Determinism by Athanasios Komianos (Greece) Abstract: Contemporary models of suicide are dominated by psychological and sociological frameworks that emphasize individual psychopathology, trauma, and social disintegration. While these perspectives have significantly contributed to suicide prevention and clinical intervention, they often remain insufficient for understanding suicidal ideation that emerges in existential, spiritual, and identity-related crises. This paper proposes an integrated transpersonal and regression-therapy model of suicidal ideation, suggesting that many suicidal impulses are not expressions of a genuine desire for death, but manifestations of disrupted meaning, fragmented consciousness, and unresolved experiential imprints. Drawing upon transpersonal psychology, depth psychology, and regression-therapy clinical observations, the paper reframes suicidal ideation as a crisis of identity and continuity rather than a death wish. Ethical implications, therapeutic considerations, and integrative pathways for treatment are discussed. Keywords Suicide, transpersonal psychology, regression therapy, suicidal ideation, trauma, soul fragmentation, existential crisis, identity collapse Durkheim’s
Suicide: Crossing the LINE Between the Living and the Dead – Maarten Wiegmans – Is. 36
Suicide: Crossing the LINE Between the Living and the Dead by Maarten Wiegmans (The Netherlands) Abstract: This article examines suicide and suicide bereavement from a systemic, transpersonal, and regression-therapy perspective. It distinguishes acute grief and trauma from deeper intergenerational burdens involving guilt, shame, identification, and unresolved family loyalties. Particular attention is given to the boundary between the living and the dead and to the ways in which this boundary may become blurred after suicide. Drawing on constellation work and regression therapy, the article presents a clinical case in which multiple suicides, unprocessed grief, and family guilt became linked across generations. The therapeutic process revealed how guilt and responsibility could become misallocated within the family system and how restoring differentiation allowed innocence, grief, and emotional ownership to return to more appropriate places. The article also proposes a complementary model of horizontal constellation work and vertical regression work, with personification space serving
What is Often Overlooked May Prove to Be Invaluable – Herlina, S. Manap – Is. 36
What is Often Overlooked May Prove to Be Invaluable by Herlina, S. Manap (Indonesia) Abstract: This article examines the problem of premature epistemic closure in contemporary knowledge production, particularly the tendency to dismiss uncertain or controversial claims before adequate testing has occurred. It argues that responsible inquiry requires methodological rigour without collapsing into either uncritical belief or premature rejection. Drawing on fallibilism, falsifiability, motivated reasoning, and critical hermeneutics, the article proposes that knowledge should be evaluated through degrees of justification rather than rigid binaries of truth and error. It further argues that double standards often emerge when disfavoured claims are subjected to unusually strict evidential demands while preferred beliefs or authoritative texts escape comparable scrutiny. Using research on Cases of the Reincarnation Type (CORT) at the University of Virginia’s Division of Perceptual Studies as an illustrative case, the article shows how controversial phenomena may be investigated through verification, bias control,
The Accident Trauma Release (ATR) Procedure: A Protocol for Professional Regression Therapists – Marion Boon – Is. 36
The Accident Trauma Release (Atr) Procedure: A Protocol for Professional Regression Therapists. Marion Boon (The Netherlands) Introduction This practical instruction essay brings focus on the procedure of the ATR-technique, which I share with colleague regression therapists in order to help clients heal better, faster and permanently from violent experiences, including operations and simple accidents that may have triggered an unprocessed past. Only for professionals. This is a practitioner protocol based on the author’s experience. Before applying the very effective ATR technique in Regression Therapy, knowledge and skills are required especially on: Tracing and recognizing foreign intrusions – working with attachments and obsessive fragments. Trigger points of past lives – to be healed and ended. Childhood trauma and hospital trauma – to be properly healed. Intense programs that stem from the family line and deceased parents, or even living parents and educators. Patterns. Recognize them. Out-of-body presences and energies, including externalized

Transgenerational Patterns, Neurodivergence, and Regression Therapy: A Clinical and Personal Perspective Sonia Tapiador (Spain) Introduction This article is based on clinical observations developed within the frameworks of Regression Therapy and transgenerational approaches. The case presented here is a personal one—that of my youngest son—which I have chosen in order to discuss the therapeutic process openly and in detail without concerns related to confidentiality or permissions. However, the phenomenological patterns described throughout this article have also been observed repeatedly in my professional work with neurodivergent and highly sensitive children, some of which are discussed in my book Child Regression Therapy. It is important to clarify that I am not my son’s therapist in the formal clinical sense. Rather, I have supported him at specific moments using therapeutic tools drawn from my professional training and personal experience. The purpose of this article is not to present definitive scientific claims, but to explore
The Geranium Case: Unearthing Family Secrets and Releasing Generational Burdens Through Hypnotherapy – Ricardo Feix – Is. 36
The Geranium Case: Unearthing Family Secrets and Releasing Generational Burdens Through Hypnotherapy by Ricardo Feix (Brazil) Abstract: This case study highlights the potential of Transpersonal and Quantum Integrative Hypnotherapy to address complex psychological issues rooted in personal trauma and intergenerational dynamics. The emergence of apparent ancestral channelling and automatic speech underscores the potential for accessing unconscious material beyond conventional memory recall. The therapeutic approach focused on facilitating dialogue, understanding, and forgiveness at multiple levels – personal, familial, and potentially transpersonal – leading to significant symptom reduction and improved quality of life for the client. Keywords: Obsession, Ancestral Channelling, Automatic Speech, EMDR. Client’s Profile. Geranium, a 46-year-old architect and tourist agent living a solitary life in the shadow of unresolved pain, sought therapy for a constellation of difficulties. Beyond the everyday challenges of his career and finding lasting love as a single, homosexual man, he was haunted by a deep-seated fear
Infertility and Regression Therapy: A Case Report of a Couple Following Emotional Integration – Gina Rodríguez – Is. 36
Infertility and Regression Therapy: A Case Report of a Couple Following Emotional Integration by Gina Rodríguez (Spain) Abstract: Infertility constitutes a complex clinical phenomenon in which biological, psychological, relational, and social factors interact. Although reproductive medicine has improved the diagnosis and treatment of numerous organic disorders, a proportion of couples continue to have difficulty conceiving in the absence of a clearly identifiable cause or with a multifactorial aetiology. This study describes the therapeutic process of a couple treated with Regression Therapy whose initial reason for consultation was not infertility, but rather different individual emotional conflicts and difficulties within the couple’s relationship. During treatment, both reported that they had been trying unsuccessfully to conceive, which became part of the clinical picture without changing the focus of the intervention. Each member underwent an individual therapeutic process addressing conflicts related to personal history, couple dynamics, sexuality, parental figures, feelings of guilt, low self-esteem,
Did Jung believe in reincarnation? – Roger Woolger – Is. 35
Did Jung believe in reincarnation? Roger Woolger In the years between 1920 and 1940 Jung immersed himself in many classic Indian, Chinese, and Buddhist texts on Yoga and meditation. Tentatively he began to introduce some of the concepts from these writings into his maturing vision of a psychology that would eventually encompass both the personal and the transpersonal levels of the psyche. Most notable is his proposal of the archetype of the Self, the transcendent image of the divine that lives within everyone. The introduction of this term was inspired by the Hindu concept of the atman, translated variously as the “eternal Self,” the “Higher Self,” or the “Oversoul” by other writers. The concept of the Self is first elaborated in Jung’s work Psychological Types (1921). From 1932 to 1940 Jung gave regular seminars at the Zürich Federal Polytechnic (Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule). In 1933, as well as elaborating on his

Jung’s Self-Reports of his Paranormal Experiences Athanasios Komianos The sign over the entrance of Jung’s estate. VOCATUS ATQUE NON VOCATUS DEUS ADERIT (Called or not called God will be there) This phrase is inscribed over the door of Carl Jung’s estate in Küsnacht, Zürich. I had the privilege to visit this place in April of 2025. The house was built in 1909 by Jung and his wife Emma when she inherited from her father and IWC after his sudden death. They bought the land from an orphanage and built the house as they dreamed by the shores of lake Zürich. As of 2018 it has turned into a museum and people can visit the house, the library and the study of Jung which is preserved as it was at the time when he died in 1961. Along with two colleagues, Martin Roesch and Katya Kobzeva we had the privilege
A Case of Chronic Bruxism – Leopoldo Ceballos – Is. 35
A Case of Chronic Bruxism: Emotional Integration and Elimination of Persistent Symptoms Leopoldo Ceballos del Castillo (Spain) Abstract: This paper presents the clinical case of a 36-year-old woman with chronic bruxism who experienced significant symptom improvement following a regression therapy process. Through the evocation of a traumatic childhood scene, a pattern of muscular tension associated with perfectionism, excessive self-control, emotional repression, and guilt was identified. The intervention subsequently included a phase of somatic integration through active imagination and visualization, following Martin Roesch’s technique. Clinical implications are discussed regarding the relationship between emotional memory, neural plasticity, and psychological compartmentalization. Keywords: Regression therapy, bruxism, guided imagery, symbolic visualisation. Introduction Regression therapy is a form of deep psychotherapy that enables patients to access memories stored in the unconscious in order to identify and heal past experiences that continue to negatively affect their present lives. Through expanded states of consciousness, the client may
Healing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Through Regression Therapy – Gina Rodríguez – Is. 35
Healing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Through Regression Therapy: Transgenerational Trauma, Intrauterine Life, Errant Souls and Energetic Reintegration Gina Rodríguez (Spain) Abstract – This case report describes the resolution of an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) resistant to conventional treatment through conscious regression therapy. Laura (pseudonym) experienced persistent intrusive thoughts about sexual abuse by her father, with no real basis. Throughout three regression sessions, deep layers of trauma were addressed: sexual abuse in a past life linked to her family lineage, traumatic memories from intrauterine life with the presence of errant souls and intrusive entities that reinforced the obsessive idea. Protocols of soul release and elevation, recovery of soul fragments and complete energetic reintegration were applied. This therapeutic process resulted in sustained symptom relief and enhanced emotional well-being. Introduction Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) often presents complex psychological roots and may resist conventional therapies when deep unresolved trauma exists. Conscious regression therapy is a structured process
A Lesson from a Golden Soul – Nacho Romón – Is. 35
A Lesson from a Golden Soul Nacho Romón (Spain) Abstract – This case study explores a notable instance of transpersonal therapy involving a grieving medical doctor, Antonio, who experienced profound emotional healing following the perceived spiritual manifestation of his deceased spouse. The session, initially marked by scepticism and resistance, evolved into a deeply transformative encounter when the patient’s late wife appeared in a visionary form—a radiant golden sphere—and initiated a spontaneous and emotionally charged dialogue. The therapeutic process combined elements of intuitive perception, guided communication, and symbolic ritual, enabling the patient to confront unresolved grief, release a binding “eternal love” pact, and ultimately facilitate the soul’s transition into the light. The intervention illustrates the potential for non-ordinary states of consciousness, intuitive resonance, and spiritually integrative practices to foster psychological and existential healing in cases of complicated grief. The experience also led to a six-year collaboration between the author and
The Case of Daisy and her deeply hidden truth – Ricardo Feix – Is. 35
The Case of Daisy and her deeply hidden truth. Benevolent Spirit Channelling & Automatic Writing Ricardo Feix (Brazil) Abstract- This clinical case describes the treatment of Daisy, a 39-year-old woman diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, substance addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She sought Transpersonal and Regression Hypnosis to resolve a deeply troubling family concern—whether her husband had sexually abused her daughter in the past. After working through Daisy’s personal traumas, the therapist conducted a Regression Hypermnesia session, guiding her back to the night when the alleged abuse might have occurred. However, Daisy had been under the influence of drugs that night after a party, which prevented her from fully accessing or connecting with the memory. Still uncertain and seeking clarity, Daisy requested a mediumship session to communicate with her deceased grandfather. During a deep trance, she claimed to establish contact with his spirit, who—through automatic writing—confirmed her suspicions
My experience and subjective understanding of Karma – Sonia Tapiador – Is. 35
My experience and subjective understanding of Karma. Sonia Tapiador (Spain) Editor’s Note: In last year’s issue there was a discussion by our editors on the topic of Karma. In this issue Sonia Tapiador from Spain is sharing with us her own understanding of Karma. Introduction I was born into grief, as my father died while I was still in my mother’s womb. Experiencing the absence of the masculine figure so early in life generated my need for a constant reason to live, and the need to “search for answers.” My connection to grief and death endowed me with a heightened awareness, extrasensory perception, and special sensitivity. From a very young age, I was clear about my life’s mission, drawn by a deep interest in the paranormal, the unseen and the hereafter. Here follows what I think Karma is, as I understand it through my personal experiences. Wheel of
Forcefields: Regression’s Younger Brother, Stronger Brother – Hans TenDam – Is. 35
FORCEFIELDS: REGRESSION’S YOUNGER BROTHER, STRONGER BROTHER Hans TenDam “Forcefields” is an inner exploration modality. More than 90% of the sensory modalities we use in regressions is visual. Visual impressions provide the story. We use them to elicit thoughts and emotions and working through them elicits hopefully cathartic experiences, often life changing. After all, if the client’s life doesn’t change, what are we doing? Logically, sounds, auditive impressions, could fulfill a similar function. In practice they don’t. After a few weak tries, I rarely ask for sounds. It may be to hear a voice. Even more rarely, we ask for noises in the situation, or music. I found a new entry, a new dimension, a new world if you like. What are we doing now as regressionists? Reliving the beginning of problems, discovering what really happened and how it affected us and why it remained unsolved, unhealed.
Consciousness Surviving Death Research – Andy Tomlinson, Reena Kumarasingham – Is. 35
CONSCIOUSNESS SURVIVING DEATH RESEARCH Abstract – Understanding consciousness has been the subject of much discussion over human history. The western medical model suggests that it is located physically in the brain yet this cannot explain experiences such as terminal lucidity, shared death experiences, telepathy, mediumship, out of body experiences and past life regression. This article covers the authors research using 436 near-death experiences with 537 between-life spiritual regressions (BLSR). The similarity between these two completely different methodologies provides some of the strongest research to date that consciousness survives death and reincarnates. Andy Tomlinson, Reena Kumarasingham Consciousness background Perhaps a definition of consciousness can be described as what we experience with our senses. The positive and negative emotions of life and the experience of images, ideas, words, and thoughts. But how does this explain telepathic communication? Montague Ullman, a psychiatrist and parapsychologist, launched the Maimonides Dream Laboratory in 1962. An
