I've never been able to have a Past Life Regression with several attempts.

Hi Mark,
There are many reasons why you may find it difficult to be regressed. I seriously doubt if it has anything to do with only having a few past lives to choose from. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about that. How easily do you go into trance? Sometimes a long induction with guided imagery designed to lead you into a past life makes it easier. The use of music to shift you into a deep trance may help as well. I don't know how your therapist did the regression. I regress the person to a few ages in this life and get them to visualize the scene vividly before taking them into the womb. Then we go into a past life. I believe that your Guides facilitate this experience. You may want to have a conversation with them about your desire and intention. That often helps.

Mark: While I have never had anyone not experience a past life in the hundreds of sessions I have conducted, I have worked with many people who had your experience after several experiences with several hypnotherapists. I think the one thing that is imperative when embarking on choosing a practitioner is the success rate and credentials of the practitioner. I highly recommend using a practitioner who is a certified past life regression practitioner. Somone who is merely a hypnosis practitioner has few or no requisite skills to naviagate all the unique issues that could be encountered in past life regression work. The only regression certifying organization that I know is International Board for Regression Therapies, Inc. I offer a 15 minute FREE no obligation consultatin to answer your questions.

Thank you for your replies. Victoria, I am definitely not one who enters trance easily. And Dorothy, I did locate a hypnotherapist in my area and spoke with her on the phone and she told me that in her 7 years of doing PLR, she has had only one client that she was unsuccessful with. She told me that she believes it was because of "cultural" differences. However, because of my unsuccessful track record with PLR, I would not schedule a session with her for fear of wasting more money and becoming her 2nd unsuccessful session. I'm sure you can understand this. I do not know what her credentials are, but that would be easy enough to find out. But due to already spending too much on this already with no results, I have recently been limiting myself to the meetup group sessions in my area whenever they happen to offer PLR. The cost is nominal and the groups are led by professional hypnotherapists.

Hi Mark,

I will tell you something which happened to me before I became a hypnotherapist, I went to someone for past life regression, and I found it difficult as the woman was asking me to walk through a tunnel, and when I got to the end what did I see, well I saw nothing, it was black, she basically tried various techniques and nothing and then the inal straw came she said if i couldn't see anything to make it up, I felt myself getting a bit annoyed as I had paid £70.00.

So then I htought okay well I don't want to waste my money so I sahll make it up and I did, I was remembering my childhood in this life and describing it, still not seeing anything though. Then bang I saw myself in a hospital wearing a white coat, I was a doctor I think, and it just went from there.

I went back for a second session and this time I was great, i was totally relaxed and saw everything it was like watching a movie of myself, it was brilliant. So I remember thinking at the time i would love to do this for people and 2 years later I did and was able to do clinical hypnosis and analytical hypnosis, parts therapy etc.

So with my clients because of my own experience I understand where people are coming from and I also understand that some people like myself need to be totally relaxed and also the words that the therapist says have to be motivating and positive.
Now just one more thing I had a mother and daughter come to me for PLR, daughter came first and she was a bative american indian , she was so excited when the session ended, she couldn't believe it, the when her mum came she was excited before the session started, when we got into the session she just kept saying she couldn't see anything I said okay and tried other approaches, then it came to the forefront, she hadn't had a past life, she was describing the other side in great detail and I took the opportunity of asking her why she decided to come into the physical body and she gave me her answer.

Now she was thrilled as now she knows why she is here, what her purpose is. So hopefully this may help and perhaps the person you go to should also do what I do , just a thought.

Take care
Gillian

Do you meditate? Or practice Self-Hypnosis regularly? I find that people who are used to going into a mild Alpha state on their own are the most successful with PLR and Life between Life regressions. It is easier to go deeper when you are used to being in a lighter trance state already. You could try Belleruth Naperstek or Kelley Howell's CD's. Another idea is to get a music only CD. Practice with that and then take it to your next PLR session. Ask the therapist to play it in the background. Leigh Spusta is a member of this network and has some very good brain entrainment CD's. http://psimatix.com/

One precaution, I would not attempt PLR on your own. It is possible that you are resisting because your supraconscious mind knows there is trauma in the past and is protecting you from going there. Try finding a therapist who knows how to handle such situations. It may not be the case but better safe than sorry. It is probably simply a matter of trusting the therapist and letting go. Don't be surprised if you end up wondering if you made it all up. Imagination is the key to enlightenment! Good luck.

Have had several more meetup group PLR sessions, and the frustration continues. All participants experience something, but not me. I even practice at home with a PLR tape, but with no positive results. I may be destined to never find out what my past lives entailed. :(

Hi Mark...

When I first dropped into past lives it was "accidently" and it took me to lives and times that I needed to see to understand more of where I am in this lifetime.. When I first started doing plr it was basically for those wanting it for recreational purposes and I quickly came to the conclusion if you are suppose to see something from a past life you will drop there. 

I am also a soul path astrologer, this is about our soul's path thru lifetimes. .. If you would like me to do your chart I will be able to tell if you are an old or new or middle aged soul..Since we are reflective of the time in space we are born I would need your birthdate, time of birth, and place of birth. This information in a private message is best.. thank you

Hi Mark,

I would be more than happy to do your astrological chart.  There may be something there that would indicate why you are having trouble going to past lives.  If you would like me to share a bit about your chart please send me your date, time and city of birth. I can also share with you if you have had many lifetimes and if they were in recent history or ancient times.

Mark, there are three primary items that need to happen for successful timeline session work.

1. You have the ability to access a "deep" altered state.

2. You have no obstructions in your energy field. (And if so, they are first dealt with.)

3. You have a facilitator who knows how to conduct timeline session work without leading.

That's basically it.
