Lets take a moment to look at the concept of past life regression. There are many philosophies in the world, and the concept that this life is but one of several that any given soul will ultimately live is an ancient philosophy indeed. Many have found that taking the notion of reincarnation seriously has positively effected their lives to break cycles, give them a new lease on life, and allow them to take on challenges with a whole new life of experiences.
The term “old soul” is one that many people use to describe someone with the maturity and experience that seems to go along with a person who has experienced several lives. An old soul is said to have had several lifetimes worth of chances to learn about the world and exhibits a sort of wisdom beyond that seems uncanny. The wisdom they exhibit ultimately leads to several people benefiting from their advice.
The idea of past life regression first came as a result of the Hindu scholar Patanjali and his theory of past lives causing effects that would eventually accumulate in later lives. Those who held a level of positive or negative karma from past lives would be affected by these karmic accumulations. If an individual was not properly in tune with his or her past the future could be affected either adversely or not to their full potential. It was Madame Blavatsky who later would bring the notion into popularity in the later part of the nineteenth century.
The most important thing to remember is that when looking into your past life you have only yourself as a reference at first. There will be many tempting images of far off glorious conquerers. The goal is to get in touch with your deeper self to help you better understand yourself. In order to enter this state of mind, remember that entrainment therapy has been specially designed to match the brainwave patterns of those undergoing successful past life regressions. You can find entrainment therapy at:
Past life regression essentially works as a form of cognitive hypnotherapy similar to those used to help a patient who is experiencing repressed memories. Our past life regression works to tap into the vein of this form of consciousness without relying on the leading questions that can result in the formation of misleading or outright false memories. Several people believe, for example, that they are a reincarnation of Cleopatra, Napoleon Bonaparte, or Abraham Lincoln as a result of their environments.
But it seems far more likely that the vast majority of people would be reincarnated from a mass of equally important but largely unknown figures both historical and forgotten to the sands of time. The goal of past life regression is not to influence the ego into thinking the older soul is one of an archetype of historical figures, but rather to put those with memories in touch with their true selves.
Whether the concept of a soul connected to this Earth can be proven in scientific terms or not, the real points of interest are the results they show for those who benefit from making contact with themselves on a level deeper than can be achieved through conventional means.
It’s not always clear why it works so well for some, but one must look only to one of the most well thought of mathematicians of all time, Pythagoras to understand why past life progression is so important. Pythagoras told many of his colleagues of being in touch with experiences he had gained in previous lifetimes even while developing some of the most important mathematical theorems of all time.
Thank you for taking a moment to familiarize yourself with the concept of past life regression therapy. Next time I’d like to take a look at some techniques that have helped those seeking answers get in touch with their past lives as well as some common pitfalls that stand as roadblocks for those seeking answers.

In Bhagavad-Gita Lord SriKrishna says to Arjuna:
“I taught this immortal Yoga to Vivasvan (sun-god), Vivasvan conveyed it to Manu(his son), and Manu imparted it to (his son) Iksvaku. Thus transmitted to succession from father to son, Arjuna, this Yoga remained known to the Rajarisis (royal sages). It has however long since disappeared from this earth. The same ancient Yoga has this day been imparted to you by Me, because you are My devotee and friend, and also because this is a supreme secret”.
At this Arjuna said: You are of recent origin while the birth of Vivasvan dates back to remote antiquity. How, then, I am to believe that you taught this Yoga at the beginning of creation? Lord SriKrishna said: Arjuna, you and I have passed through many births. I remember them all, you do not remember.
1. Radha Soami Faith was founded by His Holiness Param Purush Puran Dhani Huzur Soamiji Maharaj on the prayer of His Holiness Huzur Maharaj who later on became second Spiritual Head of Radha Soami Faith. The prime object of the Radha Soami Faith is the emancipation of all Jeevas (Souls) i.e. to take the entire force of consciousness to its original abode. There is a tradition of succession of Gurus or Spiritual Adepts in Radha Soami Faith. I am one of them as is evident from the following facts or ….
“My most Revered Guru of my previous life His Holiness Maharaj Sahab, 3rd Spiritual Head of Radhasoami Faith had revealed this secret to me during trance like state.
HE told me, “Tum Sarkar Sahab Ho” (You are Sarkar Sahab). Sarkar Sahab was one of the most beloved disciple of His Holiness Maharj Sahab. Sarkar Sahab later on became Fourth Spiritual Head of Radhasoami Faith.
Since I don’t have any direct realization of it so I can not claim the extent of its correctness. But it seems to be correct. During my previous birth I wanted to sing the song of ‘Infinite’ (Agam Geet yeh gawan chahoon tumhri mauj nihara, mauj hoi to satguru soami karoon supanth vichara) but I could not do so then since I had to leave the mortal frame at a very early age. But through the unbounded Grace and Mercy of my most Revered Guru that desire of my past birth is being fulfilled now.”

Past life regression is a technique that uses hypnosis to recover what practitioners believe are memories of past lives or incarnations, though others regard them as fantasies or delusions. Past life regression is typically undertaken either in pursuit of a spiritual experience, or in a psychotherapeutic setting. Most advocates loosely adhere to beliefs about reincarnation,[1] though religious traditions that incorporate reincarnation generally do not include the idea of repressed memories of past lives.[2]
The technique used during past life regression involves the subject answering a series of questions while hypnotized to reveal identity and events of alleged past lives, a method similar to that used in recovered memory therapy and one that similarly misrepresents memory as a faithful recording of previous events rather than a constructed set of recollections. The use of hypnosis and suggestive questions makes the subject particularly likely to hold distorted or false memories.[3] The source of the memories is more likely cryptomnesia and confabulations that combine past experiences, knowledge, imagination and suggestion or guidance from the hypnotist than recall of a previous existence. Once created, the memories are indistinguishable from memories based on events that occurred during the subject’s life.[1][2] Memories reported during past life regression have been investigated, and revealed historical inaccuracies that are easily explained through a basic knowledge of history, elements of popular culture or books that discuss historical events. Experiments with subjects undergoing past life regression indicate that a belief in reincarnation and suggestions by the hypnotist are the two most important factors regarding the contents of memories reported
