Past Life Regression

The information gained in PLR is often used to address present-day patterns, themes and traumas that the individual carries with them that are still unresolved. These patterns can demonstrate themselves as:

• Recurring dreams or nightmares
• Unexplained anxiety
• Sudden changes in life direction or unexplained reactions

Hypnosis makes it easy to bridge the gap between past and present because hypnosis works with the subconscious mind, which is where we store all our experiences.  

The use of PLR can help people resolve:

• Emotional Patterns: Uncover and resolve fears, phobias, or emotional blocks that lack an apparent cause in the present life
• Relieve Physical Symptoms: Alleviate unexplained physical ailments that may have roots in past-life trauma
• Promote Healing: Provide closure or forgiveness toward unresolved relationships or experiences

Historical Background

The concept of past lives has been integral to many religious and spiritual traditions, including Hinduism and Buddhism.

Modern PLR gained popularity through the work of psychiatrists like Dr. Brian Weiss, whose book Many Lives, Many Masters brought widespread attention to the practice in the 1980s.

In 2009, a book called Soul Survivor was released, based on the real-life story of James Huston, a WWII pilot.  

James Leininger was two years old when he began having nightmares. His parents took him to multiple doctors and after conducting their own research, it was revealed that young James had previously been James Huston, a WWII pilot who died in the crash of his plane.

Case Study:  

Dr. Annie Alexander has conducted hundreds of PLR sessions, and in almost every case, the information discovered by the client has resulted in the elimination of an unwanted pattern or symptom.

In one case, Dr. Alexander worked with a 30-year-old man who desired to resolve chronic stomach aches and anxiety which had been plaguing him since childhood.

While in session, the man discovered that he had been a soldier in the US Civil War. He was shot in the stomach and died on the battlefield. He left behind his wife and two little girls.

In hypnosis, the man expressed regrets about not being able to return to his family during the Civil War, and this traumatic event remained embedded in his subconscious mind, unresolved, and showing up in his present life as crippling anxiety and guilt.

After hypnotherapy, the man noted that his stomach issues cleared up immediately and never returned – not even 5 years later.  

Prior to hypnotherapy, the man had been unable to sustain a relationship beyond a year due to an unconscious fear of loss. At this writing, he has been happily in partnership for more than 6 years.
