Did You Have a Past Life?
I want you to try something for me. Roll your eyes upward, toward the back of your head. Try to see how much you can show of the white part of your eyes (without straining, of course). Is it easy for you? Is it difficult?
If you have an easy time doing it, you’re a good candidate for regression therapy, where you are hypnotized and can re-live events in your life that might be causing you deep emotional turmoil. The easier it is to do this, the easier it is for you to dive right into the depths of your emotions.
For me, it’s difficult to do. I have a hard time rolling them, so it’s not easy for me to reach the depths of my feelings, and requires extra effort and work. I can be hypnotized, but it might take longer to reveal anything. I guess I really do keep my emotions under lock and key.
But I’ve just had the strangest experience. I was watching an episode of Oprah with Dr. Oz (I love it when he’s on, they make such a great team.) The guest was Dr. Brian Weiss, and the show took an in depth look at people finding peace with events that had upset them earlier in their life.
It then went a step further as guests tapped into former lives. Very deep stuff, dealing with reincarnation and very intense events that seemed to scar people in their current life.
I’ve always believed in reincarnation, but never really taken the time to study it. There are many things in this world that we don’t have the answers to, and I find that exciting. Knowledge is power, and there is an unlimited amount of discoveries to be made in our lifetimes. I love it.
Hypnosis is not at all like in fictional movies. You don’t lose control of yourself and start clucking like a chicken. You’re completely aware of what’s happening and you know what you’re doing. I’ve listened to some hypnosis tapes, but very light stuff. I admit, I am scared to go too deep. But they always work for me.
During this episode, I watched Dr. Weiss hypnotize a patient, and I’m afraid I watched a bit too closely, because I started to feel different. Can a person be hypnotized through TV? I’m not sure.
After I watched it, my eyes felt very heavy, yet I wasn’t tired. I went upstairs and crawled into bed, turning off all noises, blocking out all lights.
I found myself surging into something… but I don’t know what. There was a message, there was an answer revealing itself. But I couldn’t get to it.
(Remember, I’m considered a bad candidate for going deeper.)
An hour later, my Mom called. She said I sounded like someone else, and got freaked out and wanted to get off the phone. It was strange.
I feel like I’ve tapped into a deeper part of myself and I hope to learn a lot more. Very interesting stuff.
I’m wondering, have you ever had any experience with hypnosis or past life studies?
Did you like this article? If so, please share it.
Interesting topic—I have undergone hypnosis a number of times to deal with specific issues/fears, and they have been very positive/helpful experiences. No chicken-clucking.
One was for a paralyzing, insurmountable fear of flying. It worked–I’m still amazed at that.
I routinely do a form of self-hypnosis as a relaxation therapy.
I’m very curious, but scared, about trying a deeper hypnosis, to get at some blocked memories That’s another fascinating subject–how the brain knows to protect you from recalling some horrific experiences.
Never had hypnosis–I’m too much of a control freak to let anyone do that to me.
But I do wonder about past lives, although I’m not sure of the “point.” Some say we are reincarnated to learn lessons. But how do we learn them if we can’t remember what is was we did wrong in the first place?
I did have an odd experience atop a Mayan pyramid in Mexico. Didn’t see anything, mind you, just a weird feeling of “timelessness” came over me, like I could see back and forth through time. Weird, I know. Hard to explain. Maybe have been the 120 degree heat.
Anyway, I hope I have more sex in my next life…
I’ll have to check with Shirley McLaine.
