Hi peeps, for some time now well years in fact I have thougt about being regressed.
I understand what it is and what it does, the question is this.... I need to know is it totaly safe, I havent heard of any cases where its been dangereous but all the same I just want to be 100% certain for myself.
As I live in England does any one know of a reputable person who can do this in the proper way?
How much does it cost? Where do I go?
I need to know my past, I now I have been around before ,but how many times and who was I, where when was I? When was I?

Its some thing I want to do but properly..

Thanks for any help advice on this..

Hi Mike, Go to http://www.aprt.org/[/URL] this is the website for IARRT (International Association for Regression Research & Therapies). On that page It says, "Looking for a Past Life Regression?" click there for a list of members around the world. I see there is a member in London. If that is not close enough for you maybe they can recommend someone in your area.

I will be on the "Authors Panel" at the IARRT Annual International Conference entitled
“Spiritual Revolutionaries: Evidence of Reincarnation”
July 1– 4, 2004 in Colorado Springs, Colorado

I am not a member but they are good people and have helped many.

Mike:

Jeffrey lead you in the right direction.... good places to do research. I am a certified clinical hypnotherapist and I can say that, without a doubt, it is safe....why? Because you never loose "control". The person performing the regression is merely helping you to interview, if you will your past life. To bring forth that memory that you've supressed. As far as cost is concerned, it's up to whom you chose to facilitate the session.
I would strongly encourage you to visit with any of the people you might want to use as facilitators, to get a "feel" for them and vice versa. When in doubt, don't. If you don't feel comfortable with that person, don't do it.

Please keep me posted on what you end up doing. I personally think that you'll enjoy your experience and can't wait to hear more about what you've learned about who, what, where, and when.

Thanks both for your help here.
I shall take a look at the web sites =)

I shall get back to you later, and yes of course I shall let you know if I manage to get a person that will do it for me.

Mike....

I will add one warning based on an experience I had. A friend of mine was having repeating dreams of an event. She went to be regressed and I and a friend went along. The regression went well until she came to something that made her stop and not go forward. To be fair, the therapist tried to suggest to her not to be afraid, to be an impartial witness, that she was safe etc. My friend just sat there, blocked and then went from a total relaxed state to a fetal position in a second and the horror of what happened was so apparent in her actions. It took awhile to bring her to a calm state and she did experience aches and pains in her limbs for months afterward.

Having said that, she would have gone back if money had not been so tight just to see what that was all about. I believe it is safe but not without potential side effects.

Maybe Ms Grrl can explain what happened in this particular case.

Jeannie, I couldn't even begin to guess at what was happening and why it happened. All I can say is that something was causing her serious mental trauma. If I had been the therapist I probably would have tried another approach....side stepping the event and trying toget at it from another angle. The human mind and brain is fantastic and it will go to any extreme to protect it's "host"....that day was just not the day her mind was willing to relive whatever event it was she was reliving. From the aches and pains afterwards, it's clear that it was a physical trauma....your body remembers just like your mind does.

Here's an idea for your friend ( and maybe even DO): there are lots of training facilities around and teachers need will participants. Might be worth looking into for getting to the bottom of her.... and doing it all for FREE........ a few phone calls won't hurt.

Hi there

I must admit I would love to be regressed I often wonder what I did in a previous life to deserve all thats happening now, I live in England too Mike and your right there isnt many people around that you could go to relaxed knowing that your going to be safe when you go under, and I dont care what anyone says but us brits. are still not as open to things like this as great friends in the States, although to be fair we're slowly coming round. People still think its strange that one should be regressed to see what a mess you made of your life in the past. If you do find somebody that is trustworthy do let me know I would love to pay them a visit.

Lynne

Ms Grrl, she was regressed around that incident and was able to recount what had happened. She was a school teacher in the south, she organized a group of women to throw rifles into the river. They thought if they got rid of the weapons they could save their town from violence. A group of soldiers came up (union she thinks) and the leader came up to her and hacked her to death with his sword. As she curled into the fetal position she was wispering in total horror, he is cutting my arms off! The soldier is supposedly her husband in this life!!!! That was never a great relationship to start with. The pains did receed after awhile and I think they are still together.

OMG Jeannie, that is aweful! I have to ask though, had you posted about that before because I recognize that story. How strange that the soldier is now her husband. It's so weird to me that certain relationships/people, good or bad, follow us through out our life times.

Hi Lyn,
Yeah I think humans have got this thing about trying to find out. Its in all of us I would think.
I do wander how many lives i have used up? Do we get a certain number? Or do we just carry on reliving? Hard to say realy.
A few years ago I was traveling through an area of woodland with trees every where, beautifull I can tell you, all I had was the feeling of flying throught the trees at a great height.
Does that mean I was a bird of some kind in a previouse life? Its hard to work out some times with the feelings you do get.
Should we find out? Or should we just leave it alone. But the trouble is why do we get the visions and feelings in the first place? Is it a message for us to find out, to learn of what this means? All I can say is I feel what I feel and I see what I see, it must be there for a reason.
No matter what the "experts" say such as "Dr Susan Blackmoor", in fact that has made me remember what my wife told me when she had our last baby Linda, she had a near death experiance in the hospital theatre but I think that will be for another forum.

Mike......

Lynne, check out the IARRT website for my post of Jan 14th. There are a few stories coming out of the UK these days. Go to http://www.docbaillie.demon.co.uk/[/URL] for the story about Ian Baillie (a kindred spirit pal of mine). He may be able to help you in your search for people who do past-life regressions in the UK. There is also Jenny Smedley at http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~author/[/URL] She is an author, TV host and columnist right there in merry old England.

Mike, the above websites may be of interest to you also. You wrote, “I think humans have got this thing about trying to find out. Its in all of us I would think.” This can be chalked up to the desire to know from wenst we came. Another question you posed was, “I do wonder how many lives I have used up? Do we get a certain number? Or do we just carry on reliving? You do not use up lives; the choice is yours on coming into this earth life. Do not put limits on yourself, you are a powerful spiritual being, as are the rest of us. Some people never incarnate; some live many, many, lives here (among other places). Think of Earth as a classroom, it is up to you if you just want to attend to the middle school level or to continue on to post-graduate work. Now we move into another area. You wrote, “I had was the feeling of flying through the trees at a great height. Does that mean I was a bird of some kind in a previous life? Its hard to work out some times with the feelings you do get.” Keep in mind that the following is just my opinion. People are people, birds are birds, dogs are dogs and so on. The Native American were great one for “soul journeys” where they would, for lack of a better word, “will” part of their soul into an animal. Many times this would be a bird of some type where they could experience life from that animal’s point of view. Remember that your true form is “Spirit” and that the form you hold now is unnatural to you. We all get homesick from time to time. The feeling you had in the woods may have just been a letting your spirit so tit could soar free for a short time.

We have saved the best for last. Mike and Lynne, this is for both of you. Mike wrote, “Should we find out? Or should we just leave it alone. But the trouble is why do we get the visions and feelings in the first place? Is it a message for us to find out, to learn of what this means?” Things come to us for a reason, we may not understand at the time what that reason is but none the less there is a reason. It is up to you to make sense of it (if you so desire). Many times what comes is to aid us in making decisions and hopefully not repeat past mistakes. You don’t need someone else to lead you to the answers, you already have them inside you. You are the expert on you. Trust yourselves. Try meditation. Try asking to see things you really “ Need” to see for your own betterment. It is a very old saying buy it is no less true today. “Ask and it shall be given, knock and the door will be opened”. Best to you both, Jeff

Correction for my last post. The last line of the 2nd paragraph should read, “The feeling you had in the woods may have just been a letting go of your spirit so it could soar free for a short time.” Sorry, its hell being dyslexic. Thank Dog for spellcheck.

Hi Mike,

I too believe that there is no limit on how many lives you have, it may be that you dont come back everytime but sort of give yourself a break in between, does that make sense, I know that sometimes I can be doing something and I get a feeling that I've not only done it before but it wasnt in this present time, and I find that I can talk to somebody not everybody but you have this gut feeling that you know them, but you cant place where from and your sure that they looked different or maybe I'm just weird.

It was the same with Peggy, I've never met her as she lives in the States until we got on this board we'd never spoken yet we click, and as Peggy has said its as though we are soul mates, and we've been friends before in different lives and now we here we are again, when we spoke on the phone for the first time there was no uneasyness we just talked like we had been friends for years. I think you'll find that with a lot of people you have met too, peolpe that you have relationships with, thats why you can click with some and not with others. In fact my mate Carol has the belief that you only become friends with those who have always been there with you from the start and that events in life always ensure that you will meet up everytime. I also believe that you also meet up with the ones that have hurt you because one lifetime you will stand up to them and show them that they cant hurt you anymore.

I'll stop waffling now.
Oh and Mike, what a good choice of name for your Baby, Linda

LYNNE

Trinity, I have not posted that story before, but I am sure during times of war there were many similar atrocities carried out. This regression took place many years ago and the one thing that stood out to me and the other witness was what the soldier was saying to her as he commited the act. He was saying "you think you are so smart" as he was hacking at her. The two of us just looked at each other and both had the same thought which we kept to ourselves, OMG, its her husband! After the therapist calmed her down, she asked if she knew who the soldier was in this life and she answered yes, its my husband.

As for how many lives we get, I also believe there is no limit. I always felt my boyfriend was an old soul (I do not have the feeling I've known him), one that has been around for a long time. A psychic he met, said the same thing upon meeting him for the first time. Me, I do not believe I have been here all that long. Why? Just a feeling I have. I have meet children that have a look about them that just screams at me old soul. Some people seem to come back frequently and quickly, others seem to hang back and wait.

MIke, I agree with Jeffrey, there is a reason we remember bits and pieces. The good and the bad do influence our present lives If there is a trauma or unfinished buisness, better to get it out and deal with it then keep having it surface. Sometimes it is just what it appears, a memory, it would be nice to know that it was real and not a figment of the imagination.

Personally, in either case I would want to know. Good luck with your search.
