Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be need to be hypnotised?
Not necessarily. You can access the memories you need to, simply by concentrating on body memories (aches, pains, feelings) or on emotions. However, if that doesn’t work for you, you may need to be formally hypnotised, or you may just need a little bit of guided meditation to help you relax first. Whatever means are used, the aim is to help you achieve the focused state you need to be in – but you will always be fully in control and aware of what is happening.
Is Regression Therapy based on religion?
No. It is based on spiritual principles, which are often incorporated into religion, but are not otherwise to do with any religions in particular. There will be no religious rituals observed or praying to any deity.
Is Regression Therapy based on the occult?
No. The word ‘occult’ simply means ‘hidden’, although over the years it has come to be associated with black magic, devil worship and other scary stuff! In Regression Therapy, the only ‘hidden’ things are the memories that you may have hidden away from yourself or have just forgotten, and which you can uncover to help you understand yourself and what may be happening for you and why.
There’s no evidence…why should I believe it?
We all have choices and you can, of course, choose not to even think about it as a possibility, much less come for a session. However, there was a time when people thought the world was flat…that there were no such things as microbes…that the sun revolved around the Earth…and that an object cannot be in two places at once. Eventually, science proved a round and orbiting planet, the existence of otherwise invisible organisms and, more recently, quantum physicists have proved that a particle can and does indeed appear in two places at once.
In time, perhaps, science will prove the validity of past lives. In the meantime, the experience of past life regression and the learning you get from it may offer its own validation, through the healing it brings.
Is the Past Life Regression session recorded?
I record the sessions for my own records and can email you the file. However you are most welcome to bring a digital voice recorder or other recording equipment if you wish. Please bear in mind that the session could last up to 3 hours – maybe longer, if you have a lot of questions – so please ensure you allow enough time, both in terms of the session and the space on your recording equipment!
Can non-believers try it?
Yes, of course. And who knows, you might just be surprised at what happens!
Will I be making it all up?
As with a past-life regression, there is no way at present to hook you up to a monitor to see if what you are experiencing is real or imaginary. The acid test is the experience itself and how it feels to you at the time. Remember, there will be no mood-altering drugs, or brain-stimulating electrodes, or even cleverly-put leading questions to give you ‘false memories’ – the sessions are recorded so you can be sure of this – only a deep state of relaxation and a willingness to ‘go with the flow’ is needed for you to have this amazing experience.
Will all my questions be answered?
Many questions will be answered, but perhaps not all of them. This is usually because knowing the answers to some questions might influence an action that might be necessary for your growth. For example, if your question was whether you should marry your partner and you were advised that it would not be a happy marriage, you may then think twice about it and, in so doing, not have the children that you would have had, and so not have the experience of being a parent to those particular children in that particular marriage, which might have taught you something very valuable. As ever, the Universe may not give you what you want – but it will always give you what you need.
