PAST LIFE REGRESSION HYPNOSIS: Are past lives influencing your current life?

There is only one way to know with certainty whether or not we have lived before in other lives, other times. Those of us reading this page are not now privy to that certainty! Nevertheless the evidence for reincarnation seems to mount. Researchers such as Stevenson and therapists applying past life regressions such as LaBay, Weiss, and Fiore provide a growing body of evidence that supports the testimony of mystics throughout the ages.*

What is a past life regression?

A past life regression is a hypnosis experience in which you are guided to recall past life experiences after achieving an adequate depth of trance. Learning about past lives can be helpful in physical healing, removing phobias, releasing oneself from unwanted behaviors, clarifying life purpose and core values, recognizing persons we have know before, understanding issues in relationships such as marriage, childhood abuse, parenting and adoption.

What happens in a past life regression session with Michael?

In a typical session, if you have never been hypnotized before, I will take as much time as you need to explain hypnosis to you, so that you feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed. I also will explain the different steps that we will take during your hypnosis experience.

I then will hypnotize you. Usually this takes less than 10 minutes. Different visualizations such as walking down a staircase may be used to deepen your relaxation in preparation for your past life regression. When you are sufficiently hypnotized, I then will guide you to your past life regression. Finally I will emerge you out of trance with suggestions that you feel wonderfully relaxed and energized. If appropriate we may then discuss the findings and how they relate to your present life.

Presuming that you give your permission, your hypnosis session will be recorded. At the end of the session, I will give you a CD copy of the recording for you to take home and listen to as often as you wish. Some clients find past life regressions so interesting and helpful that they want more than one past life regression session.

What distinguishes my practice from other hypnotherapists?

There is an old saying, "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you'll treat everything like a nail." Most fellow hypnotists and hypnotherapists have no training in other helping modalities. They presume to treat everything as a nail.

My Portland Oregon hypnotherapy practice is distinguished from the majority of my fellow hypnotists in several important respects: 1) my expertise in hypnosis has been recogized by 7,000-member National Guild of Hypnotists as qualifying me to teach and train hypnotists for certification; 2) unlike the vast majority of hypnotists, I have an extensive eduational background in psychology including not only a bachelor degree and a master degree in psychology, but also trainings in additional counseling modalities including training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming by the founder of NLP, somatic psychology, Focusing, and other practices. I am able to bring to my work the added value of a toolkit of helping modalities..

If you're ready to experience a past life regression, here's how to begin...

The easiest way to arrange a past life regression (or any appointment) is to use the "Online Appointment Booking"e" menu selection above. There you can book an appointment at a day and time of your convenience. Of course this can be done by phone (503.226.2771) or email, but my busy practice may result in my not replying to you in a timely manner.
