Recommended: Introduction to reincarnation

Let's really explore the topics of past-life regression and reincarnation! I thought it best to start here,"What is past-life regression?" The definition of past-life regression is, "a technique that uses hypnotherapy to recover what practitioners believe are memories of past lives or incarnations, though others may regard them as fantasies. Past-life regression is typically undertaken either in pursuit of a spiritual experience, or in a psychotherapeutic setting." When I'm talking with clients, I describe past-life regression as the process of hypnotherapy that allows your conscious to move to the back of your mind while your subconscious can move to the front. This allows your soul to able to move back through time to show you past lives Once the healing has taken place, there is a "lightness" as many describe that is felt. They not only feel lighter, but they actually look lighter. I did a past-life regression with a woman last week that spoke to this very same feeling. She came with presenting symptoms of feeling as though she was trapped in every place of her life. She felt trapped by her job with its negativity and hostile environment. She felt trapped by the same cycle of unfulfilling relationships that she had experienced her whole life. At times, she even felt trapped in her role as a single mother even as much as she loved her child. She also felt trapped in her feelings of not being able to find her passion in this lifetime. As I regressed her in time and directed her to go back to the source of where these negative cell memories were first imprinted, she went back to the 19th century in Scotland where she was in a dark house. She was the caretaker for the children of the man that was sitting in the same room. She immediately began to cry as she spoke about the daily beatings he gave her and how much they hurt. She felt completely TRAPPED in this place. She was in her twenties, had no family or friends around, no money and no means to leave. As I moved her forward in that lifetime and eventually to her death, she was only in her thirties

    First, it is important to understand past experiences from the perspective of Helga Ryan, an inductor of hypnosis. One of her many articles describes how on a spiritual level, we hold the energy of our past experiences and memories in every cell we are made of. Because of this, we are constantly forced to relive these memories and be reintroduced to the energies associated with them (1). Although Ryan tends to focus more on her practice and its psychological benefits, she very clearly and openly describes that our past does indeed affect our future. In fact, her entire practice is based on this principle as she makes a living through helping people heal the negative feelings people experience from their past. This basis of

  • Recovered Memories versus False Memories: Is It Possible to Determine What Is Real?

    2005 Words  | 5 Pages

    False memories being created is obvious through many different ways, such as eye-witness testimonies and past experiments that were conducted, however repression is an issue that has many baffled. There seems to be little evidence on the factual basis of repressed memories, and many argue that it does not exist. The evidence for repression in laboratories is slowly emerging, but not as rapidly as the evidence for false memories. It has been hard to clinically experiment with repressed memories because most memories are unable to be examined during the actual event to corroborate stories. Experimenters are discovering new ways to eliminate this barrier by creating memories within the experiment’s initial phase. This is important for examining the creation of false memories during the study phase. This research study will explore the differences between recovered memories and false memories through research and experiments. Other terms and closely related terms will be discussed, while examining any differences, in relation to repressed memories. The possibility of decoding an actual difference between recovered memories and false memories, through biological techniques. Because false memories can be created, examining these creations in a laboratory setting can shed light on facts overlooked. Exploring these issues will also help with the development of better therapeutic techniques for therapists in dealing with memories. This can lead to an easier process for patients and therapists if they must go through the legal system in relation to an uncovered memory.

    The plot focuses mainly on Buddha’s life, his beliefs, his followers and the basis of Buddhist religion. The element of reincarnation is employed throughout the movie. Reincarnation is one of the most important Buddhist teachings. Buddhist’s believe that death is not the end of life but the end of a body one occupies and the spirit continues its journey to another life. Lama Norbu explains reincarnation with an analogy by using a cup of tea. He states “In Tibet, we think of the mind and body as the content and container.” Norbu breaks the cup of tea on the table and observes as he says “The cup is no longer the cup, but what is tea? Like the mind after death, the tea moves from one container to another.” (little buddha 1993) The tea stayed

    The repressed memory theory was coined by Debra A. Poole of Central Michigan University, who carried out a study in 1995 and found that in the U.S. and the U.K., about a fourth of all therapists were using methods that could be characterized as suggestive: which consisted of hypnosis, dream interpretation, and direct demands on patients to let them imagine that they had been sexually abused as children. Patients had long forgotten about their traumas, but as the psychologists attempted to help bring the memories back to life, Lotus says that there was an increasing chance that they would implant false memories in

She followed Dr. Kirti Rawat, the director of the International Centre for Survival and Reincarnation Researches, as he performs a field study of reincarnation. This study focused on a boy, Aishwary, who is claimed by his family to be a reincarnation of Veerpal, a factory worker. Aishwary was introduced to his "previous" family members, which resulted in a few interesting results, including the boy recognizing parts of the house and pointing out family members. However, in the end, there was not enough evidence to show that a reincarnation had taken place.

    Imagine going about your daily business when, for some reason or another, you find yourself immersed in an intense, disturbing flashback of a traumatic event that you never knew you experienced? This bizarre scenario is more commonplace than might be supposed and is opening up all sorts of legal and therapeutic controversy. Repression is one of the most haunting concepts in psychology. The rationale is that some shocking occurrence is pushed back into an inaccessible corner of the unconscious only to be retrieved later by a most confounded consciousness (1). Is the memory really real? If it is, why was it lost in the first place and what triggered its return? And how is it to be dealt with?

    Some theorists believe that the interaction between patient and psychotherapist is influenced by the patient’s past or current relationships and affective experiences (Johansson, 2010). These theorists believed that it is important to focus on themes and conflicts that occur in the therapeutic relationship because they will have immediate affective resonance and illuminate the true nature of problems in the patient’s relationships outside of therapy (Johansson, 2010). The goals of psychodynamic therapy are to make the client self-aware and understand the influence of the past on present behavior. Psychodynamic approach allows the client to examine unsettled issues and symptoms that occur from previous dysfunctional

Nadean went to a psychiatrist who performed hypnosis on her making her memory being in a satanic cult, eating babies, being raped and more outlandish memories. The psychiatrist even performed exorcisms on her, these went on until she realized the memories were false and planted were she later sued the psychiatrist. Beth Rutherford had a similar story where she went to doctor and formed memories of being raped by her father and of her mother even helping her father sometimes by holding her down. These memories were debunked when medical examinations showed that she was a virgin. Both of these examples show the power of external suggestion on forming things like imagination inflation and impossible memories which lead to false
