Many hypnotists use regular regression therapy (using hypnosis to remember things earlier in this life) to help people identify early emotions that may be affecting them now. Irrational fears are often treated in this way. If you ask people, why they are afraid of something they often don’t know. But using hypnosis to regress a client back to the first time they felt this fear will often allow their subconscious mind to recall an event that is causing that fear now. By recalling the event it is often possible for the person to understand the fear in a new way and understand that the cause of the fear was unrelated to what they are afraid of or no longer applies in their life and they understand that there is no need for that irrational fear now.
Many times while doing these regressions a hypnotist will have someone spontaneously regress to a “Past Life”. As long as the hypnotist is well trained, they will recognize what has happened and be able to allow the client to explore this past life and understand why this past life has a bearing on the problem they are dealing with in their current life. Many scientists believe that what is really happening is the subconscious mind is “making up a story” to explain something to the client that is relevant to what they are working on. Many other people believe in reincarnation and previous lives. They believe that these subconscious memories are real. Regardless of whether they are real or made up, they often have a profound healing effect on the client.
Past Life Regression Therapy is a controversial topic for many hypnotists to discuss. A lot of people don’t believe in “Past Lives” and think that it must be a scam or worse. But many Doctors and scientists have explored it over the years and have either become believers or are keeping an open mind about it.
In May 2008, Dr. Oz was on the Oprah show with Dr. Brian Weiss exploring Past Life Regressions.
Dr. Weiss is a psychiatrist, who was the head of the Psychiatry Department at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach in 1979, when he took on a new client. He was using hypnosis and regression therapy with one this clients, when she spontaneously regressed to a Past Life. Dr. Weiss was a non-believer, who through working with this and subsequently other clients, became a strong believer. He wrote the book: Many Lives Many Masters to chronicle this journey.
Dr. Oz is a frequent guest on the Oprah show and a skeptic that has stated: While there is no scientific proof that past-life regression like the kind Dr. Weiss practices can actually access previous lives, Dr. Oz says keeping an open mind is important. “I feel very strongly about that because this has so much wonderful healing potential,” he says.

I received my Training and Certification as a Past Life Regression Facilitator from Georgina Cannon, founder of the Ontario Hypnosis Centre in Ontario Canada, and have performed many Past Life Regressions for people interested in exploring past lives for spiritual reasons as well as having some clients spontaneously regress in to past lives during a regular hypnosis session.
