Benefits of past life regression
Past life regression helps to heal chronic diseases. It helps the individuals to understand the karmic patterns involved in illness, and the resultant energy blockages. The understanding that flows during a session clears the energy blockages; thereby healing the dis-ease. Take for example a person who had a past life in which s/he was not allowed to express his/her views or had to pay a heavy price for expressing them; such a person may have a disease of the throat. After re-living the concerned past life and releasing the trauma, the healing occurs.
Past life regression helps overcome fears and phobias, by bringing about an understanding of the specific root cause. For example, a person had claustrophobia (fear of closed spaces). He re-lived a past life in which he was buried alive in an earthquake. Once he released that trauma, he was able to overcome his fear.
Past life regression improves one’s inter-personal relationships by making the person understand the impact of past life relationships with those individuals. The person is able to see the larger perspective and therefore the relationships are ‘healed’.
Past life regression frees us from fear of death once and for all. Through exploring our past lives we realize that we are eternal beings. We have been here before and we will come back again. This understanding completely eliminates the fear of death.
B) Common misconceptions about past life regression therapy
Only the present life is relevant, past lives have no effect on the present life.
In reality, we are the products of ‘all our experiences’ carried within us from all our past lives in addition to the experiences of the present life. The past life therapy helps get rid of the negative patterns of the past which continue to affect our present life.
Past is past and better left alone.
Scientific research indicates that all our memories, including those of the past lives, are stored in the mind field. We carry these memories and their effects in our energy field in the present moment, and unconsciously act out of these stored beliefs and experiences. Releasing the past is an important step, and can only be undertaken once we understand it.
The past life memories during regression are experienced due to the suggestion of the therapist.
Past life regression therapists do not give suggestions during regression. They only direct the client to seek the root cause of an issue. The client’s sub-conscious reveals the memories.
Past life regression therapy can be done by anyone.
It is important to be treated by someone who is trained and experienced in the field. Only an experienced practitioner whose belief system is compatible with the spiritual science of past lives should conduct regression work.
If we really had past lives, we would remember them.
In reality there are occasions when we do remember our past lives. This happens when:
We meet a person for the first time but feel that we know this person well.
We visit a place for the first time but feel that we have been here before.
We sit in deep mediation and have a past life recall.
Child prodigies exhibit talents and abilities that can not be explained by the circumstances or experiences of their current lives.

Love Yourself- Heal your Life
When I first came to know about ‘Love yourself- Heal your life’ workshop being conducted by Life Positive Foundation at Sevagram, I was immediately drawn to the concept. I have been a Louise Hay admirer for past couple of years. I follow all the advice mentioned in her books. Her philosophy completely resonates with mine. So the decision to attend the workshop didn’t take much thought. Now looking back I realize that it was one of the most important decisions of my life. It has brought in a new perspective and clarity of thought to me.
My first glimpse of Sampoorna, the workshop leader, was against the beautiful morning sun of Aarogyadham. She stood out amongst a group of women. Her tall, slim silhouette attracted me and I experienced a surge of love for her. On closer quarters she exuded peace and serenity. She seemed like the perfect person to teach Louise Hay’s work. That first meeting was the beginning of a beautiful process.
The workshop was completely experiential. No discourses, no left-brained intellectualization of spirituality, no mumbo-jumbo either. It was just an inner journey into our beliefs, fears, and doubts. There was a lot of music, dancing, singing, holding hands, and hugging. Love was palpable and real during these sessions, and beyond the sessions. The participants bonded like long lost friends and family. The group energy was infectious in its glory.
By the end of the first session people opened up, and by the end of the sixth day, a lot of release had happened. Each one was unfolding at his/her own pace: smiling, crying, laughing, contemplating, or spreading love and cheer. I did all that I do not normally get to do. I hugged everyone, every time I met them. I sang incessantly (later someone confessed to me that my singing had brought in some catharsis for her. God sure operates through people!!!!) I even had a bicycle ride, sitting pillion on Sevagram roads!! It was an incredible experience.
Besides doing many exercises like anger release, forgiveness, and writing a new life story; we took morning and evening walks, watched birds, meditated under the blue sky, and bonded with some locals. We deleted the word ‘should’ from our mental dictionaries; and professed love to ourselves, looking deep into our eyes, during the ‘mirror work’. We integrated all our inner personalities, and we enacted a role play. All this was powerful healing work, besides being loads of fun.
At the end of it when we sat down to share our insights; beautiful, heart-touching stories emerged. I had understood many of my lessons through the mirror image of my roommate, and surprisingly so did she. It was amazing, to say the least! The purpose of my life and my next step towards it was revealed to me in many synchronistic events. The enormity of it is still to unfold.
I wasn’t the only one transformed, there were many such stories. I spoke with Prof Subramaniam of Tirupati the other day. This is what he had to say, “I sincerely feel that my spirits have been rejuvenated, and my energy batteries recharged. My wife and daughter are surprised at the change that has come about in me. I feel at ease with myself. I am able to express my love and joy without any inhibitions. I have come to terms with my children’s decision to live in USA. The workshop was a wonderful and amazing experience for me.”
Anup Vishnu Bagla from Bharatpur feels that the workshop has made him focus on the present. His worries and anxieties have dissolved. He is more receptive to the concepts of forgiveness and gratefulness. He feels more confident in communicating his feelings to others.
Capt SS Sherawat from New Delhi has a similar story. In his words, “I find it easy to let go. I am ready to go with the flow of life. It has brought in peace of mind. Now I am connected with my guiding force. I experience love and joy all the time. Ever since my retirement I was dragging my feet, now I am ready to embark on a new venture. I used to suffer from chronic fatigue, now I feel energetic and enthusiastic. My new life story is unfolding in front of my eyes, and I am very happy about it.”
When I hear these stories I feel like hugging Super Sampoorna for all that her quiet, non-judgmental, loving approach brought out in each one of us. Now it is for us to internalize and bring all these truths into our daily practice. Like they say, you never stop growing until you die.
So three cheers to Louise Hay, three cheers to Sampoorna, and three cheers to Life Positive Foundation!!!!!!!
