Past life regression is a method that utilizes hypnosis and suggestions in order to recover what is believed to be past incarnations or memories. However, critics of the method refer to it as some kind of confabulation or serious delusions. People who engage in the exercise do so for two major reasons even though there may be other reasons. First, they do so in pursuit of spiritual experience and secondly for psychotherapeutic reasons. Belief in the notion of repressed memories is loose among fanatics. When in need of undergoing past life regression Bellingham WA should be the place to go.
The techniques employed in past life regression (PLR) involves suggestions and answering of hypnotic questions. The answers the individuals give are used in identifying previous events one took part in. The application of hypnosis in this process makes the responses and information gathered to be considered to be false memories or highly distorted. Critics dispute any claims of accuracy in the information gathered through hypnosis.
The memories come from cryptomnesia and confabulations, which combines imagination, suggestion, knowledge, experience or guidance given by the hypnotist. Sources of memories are thus less likely to be a recall of previous events one engaged in. An investigation into the memories recovered from this exercise has revealed that they have historical inaccuracies. The inaccuracies can be explained easily through a basic understanding of elements of popular culture, history, or events in media.
PLR has a very long history. The common belief is that it originated from Asian countries, specifically India. Indians engaged in it for religious reasons. The first texts written about the exercise date back to the second century BC. The texts describe PLR in form of souls being overcrowded with previous impressions resulting as part of karma. The karma comes from past lives.
In ancient India, PLR was viewed as a means of addressing memories from previous lives. Some versions of yoga today still have PLR incorporated in their practice. In Chinese religious mythology, deity Meng Po prevented souls from recalling previous lives. Souls drunk from the cup of bittersweet, which deleted all memories before they could ascend into reincarnation.
The idea of PLR was introduced in the West by someone named Madame Blavatsky. Since then, many texts have been written about it. Psychiatrists, mediums, psychologists and other practitioners have conducted a lot of research about this process since the 50s. Some advocates of the field possess valid credentials, something that increased its credibility. However, the valid credentials are not related in any way to psychotherapy, religion or other fields that relate to PLR.
Research in this field is still hugely ongoing. So far, ideas put forward by practitioners have not been able to be proved with scientific evidence. Despite lack of supporting evidence, many Americans still visit hypnotists yearly, seeking to recover previous memories.
A lot of false practitioners have been attracted into the field due to lack of standards. As such, caution must be exercised when consulting with a practitioner. One should rely on referrals from friends and other parties to find the best practitioner.
