Past–life therapy
Geplaatst op: 27-08-2007
Past–life therapy is regression therapy accepting that scenes from apparent past lives may emerge. Regression therapy derives its name from its method: recovering and reliving past experiences cathartically. Though reliving cathartically is sometimes sufficient, regression proper often has to be complemented by working with subpersonalities, sometimes called egostate therapy: having the present personality communicate with the child or the past life that had the traumatic experience. In the present lifetime, this work is called Inner Child work, in past lifetimes, this is called working with pseudo–obsessors: treating and integrating disturbing past–life personalities.
The second complement of regression is bio–energetically: discovering and processing old residues – including those from past lives – that clutter our system and that we still may experience physically. Regression therapy in the wide sense includes Inner Child work and bio–energetic work, and the same holds for past–life therapy.
So past–life therapy is an expanded and specialized form of regression therapy. What should a broad regression therapist who works in this life only, have to learn extra to become a broad past–life therapist?
-
Guiding death experiences, including what happens immediately after death up till the life review, if any.
-
Guiding the life preparation, including planning, preview and choice of parents.
-
Discovering and processing past–life elements in experiences from this lifetime, including prenatal experiences in the womb, that explain mental and emotional responses in this life.
Both working with subpersonalities and working bio–energetically, often may lead to discovering what those two field respectively call attachments and foreign energies: charges, subpersonalities and even complete personalities of others. In the last case, we deal with attachment by deceased people. Sometimes, attachments appear to come from people we knew in a previous lifetime. Consequentially, past–life therapy includes removing karmic attachments.
In regressing to infancy, birth and the time in the womb, children often respond, consider and decide in a way that betrays an adult background, an adult awareness. Like adults have Inner Children, children have Inner Adults. Past–life therapists take those Inner Adults seriously and discover in them previous lifetimes or conclusions and decisions from the intermission between death and rebirth. When processing an apparently relevant childhood trauma gives only half results, past–life therapy will go farther back.......
