A Game of Past Life Regression

You can undergo past life regression through hypnosis or without a trance session. Hypnosis can only be done by an expert because it involves risks. It can be dangerous to the patient if the person performing the trance is not equipped with adequate knowledge.

Hypnosis usually starts with guided meditation to achieve a relaxed state of the mind and body. Self hypnosis is possible but then again, you are not encouraged to do it especially if you’re a beginner. Would it be possible to do PLR without trance? Try following these rules and you will have positive results. Rule number one – you should not think about PLR. Answer all questions promptly and without delay. Just in case you don’t know the answer to the question, make it all up or make a guess.

Here are the possible questions that you can initially ask – were you male/female, your work, father, mother, any children, brothers, sisters, place, time, the age you died, the cause of death. The very first answers that enter your mind should be noted. Now this is not the final answers yet. Further questions should be asked for additional details. There are times when there is a shift in the details being provided and make sure that you jot them down.

You can refine the construct by asking questions like – how tall were you, color of the hair, style, color of the eyes, skin tone, striking appearance, identifying features, underwear, clothing, footwear, jewelry or unique decorations, important possessions, and other important things that you can recall? Intriguing details can be obtained after answering these questions. The questions are basic ones and they can be answered easily by a quick nod or head shake.

The answers to the initial questions are only generic information and it still lacks personality. However, such information is vital for refinement when additional questions are asked. Later on, you can already obtain specific information such as event, creature, countryside, person, etc. Temporal aspects are added in the succeeding PLR sessions and you can now ask questions like how did it happen, what about the future, and other related questions. Everything seems real at this point.

Try to focus on a certain aspect of your life so that you can obtain more details. The first-person recollections can now be associated with events that are detailed and real.

It doesn’t really matter whether you believe in past life or not because PLR is fascinating and exciting especially when you make true, lasting, and real changes in your life. To some, the memories may be metaphorical reenactments while others treat them as real recollections; and in the end, everything will depend on your belief.

If you have hesitations in guided meditations and hypnosis, you can always try this procedure because you will not undergo any trance. The questions are asked and in an instant, you need to answer without thinking. Your creativity can be used in this method and you can generate stories, situations, and events. Try to work with all the information you can find.

This simple method without trance can be done in parties and in other gatherings. It will simply add a touch of magic in the occasion. What’s interesting about this game is that people will not know that they are already doing some sort of past life regression. Try it now and see how much information you can get.

Hypnosis Training Can Be Used to Help Patients Suffering From Post Traumatic Stress

PSTD or post hypnotic stress or PTSD can happen to anyone. You don’t have to be a soldier to see what it is like since you could have witnessed a murder, been involved in an accident, raped, abused or survived a natural disaster. Naturally, you need counseling to overcome what has happened and people with hypnosis training can help.

Studies have shown hypnosis can help a patient deal with PTSD. Unlike other anxiety disorders, this will be a bit more challenging given the circumstances that occurred. To help patients deal with it, the specialist has to first develop a strategy.

The best approach is a straight forward one so you know what they have been through. Each case is different so veterans are treated differently from people who were abused or raped.

The only thing that stays the same though is what happens during the hypnosis session. Once the person is relaxed, it is time for the specialist to use the power of hypnotic suggestion to make the patient let go of what happened.

When the session is nearly finished, the patient is brought back to reality by counting backwards, by snapping one’s fingers, a clapping of the hands or simply instructing the patient to open their eyes.

Was the treatment successful? You will only that if the patient no longer has nightmares of what happened or claims that they now feel better.

If you want to do more than just find a specialist to help someone who needs their expertise, you can enroll in a program that teaches you how to do hypnosis your self. There are courses offered in some schools and also online. Aside from listening or watching lectures, you also get to work on exercises and worksheets which will prepare you for the real thing.

For those who want to pursue a career in hypnosis, make sure that you get it from a reputable institution that is recognized so people will not question your capability as a specialist. See that it is accredited by National Board of Professional and Ethical Standards and British Association of Therapeutically Hypnotists or some other organization.

Hypnosis has been in use for many years and it is now being used for other problems aside from PTSD. It can be used to help people with other anxiety disorders, addictions, people who have low self-esteem and goal setting.

In fact, a lot of doctors are now requesting the aid of specialists when they are not able to help a patient. This shows that doctors are now open to the idea that a patient can be treated without the use of medication and other techniques.

You or whoever needs help just has to be open-minded too otherwise no amount of hypnosis sessions will ever work and help you forget the traumatic event.

PTSD is a problem and this will continue to affect people regardless of age or gender because no one can prepare you for what is about to happen. When the situation occurs, the only thing you can do is deal with the event later on. Fortunately, we now have the means to deal with it and if treatment is successful, we owe a debt of gratitude to those who have had hypnosis training.
