Hypnosis and Hidden Memories
A state of hypnosis is used commonly to access memories that lie deep and buried in the subconscious mind. Sometimes we consciously know about these memories of past events and sometimes they can completely surprise us as we may have consciously forgotten them. Quite often the subconscious mind protects the conscious mind from shock or traumatic events, particularly when experienced in our formative years. This might be referred to as conscious amnesia.
Hypnotherapy is provided for the safe and guided process of accessing past "forgotten" events that may still be affecting us today. Take for example the common event of a harmless spider crawling near a young baby. The mother, on seeing the spider near their baby, will want to get rid of the spider. The action of removing the spider, particularly if the mother exhibits high emotions or even panic, can lead to the baby's subconscious mind making an association between spiders and danger. As the baby you would not have consciously understood the mother's actions in dealing with the spider, the baby develops a fear of spiders. From that moment onwards some people would have a rush of adrenaline (known as the fight or flight syndrome) every time a spider is seen. Hypnotherapy can be used to access that past event as a subconscious memory and help to undo the association between spiders and fear. This accessing of a memory is called regression.
Past Life Regression
Regression, or the deliberate intention to uncover past memories, can be taken a step further. Past life regression is the accessing of memories of previous lives that we may have lived. This past life therapy can be so vivid that some people, who are able to obtain a deep state of hypnosis, can believe they are re-experiencing that past life. Most people however will know that their mind is recollecting a past life and know that this is a memory and not their present reality.
Past life regression can be used in a recreational way. This is when a person has a curiosity about the past lives they may have experienced. Past life regression can also be used in a therapeutic way too. Some people who have a persistent issue in this life may find the cause of that issue by re-visiting a past life.
With any therapeutic process or procedure various refinements can occur over time and the process of past life regression is no exception. Michael Newton has developed the concept and the protocol for a refinement to past life regression which he has termed "Life Between Lives" (LBL) hypnotherapy.
Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy
The process of "Life between lives" hypnotherapy is described as being like undertaking a journey. This journey is accomplished in a similar fashion to that of past life regression session. Yet the accepted view by "Life between lives" hypnotherapists is that it also makes a connection to your soul. This experience from the soul is the period that is in-between your incarnations or, stated another way, is the period between your different past lives. Experiencing yourself at the level of your soul can be profound and life changing and is akin to the concept of connecting to the spirit world.
During a "Life between lives" hypnotherapy session you are guided by your hypnotherapist through various meetings with other entities and spirits in order to gain a better understanding of your past lives and your purpose. Many people who experience a "life between life" session find they feel more committed to their current life purpose and goals.
A "life between life" session is a commitment for both the hypnotherapist and the client. An LBL session can last for 4 hours or more and usually, unless you are experienced with meditation or self hypnosis, require some prior and pre-session preparation as advised by your LBL hypnotherapist.
Why Am I Here?
If you ever asked yourself that age old question "why am I here?", you may get closer to your answer by enjoying a "life between lives" hypnotherapy session.
