These techniques for regression allow you to observe your past life experiences as though you were viewing a motion picture on a theater or TV screen. You will be fully aware of all details. You will be fully aware of all emotions, thoughts, words, and actions, but you will not physically feel any trauma.
For example, let's suppose you regressed to a lifetime when you were a soldier in the Crusades. You are in battle, and your enemy runs you through with his sword. You will not feel any pain from the sword. You will experience the entire episode much the same as if you were watching a movie. When someone in a movie gets hurt or killed, you are aware of all the detail, but you don't feel anything. The same is true with this regression technique. The only difference is that it is you, and not someone acting in a movie.
If you should regress through a previous death or through a rebirth into a new container, you will indeed experience the whole thing except for actual pain. You will be aware of the pain, but not actually feel it.
Regression using the method employed in these tapes is perfectly safe. There is no way you can be harmed, and you cannot be trapped in a particular past time. You are always in control and can always direct yourself into or out of any experience.
THE BENEFITS OF REGRESSION
What are some of the things that you may get out of regression?
Enjoyment. It is pleasurable to explore past life experiences because they are very much a part of you.
Knowledge. The more you know about your past, the more you can understand your present. Perhaps you have a current skill that is so natural you wonder how you got it. In regression you might find that you were trained in that skill in a previous lifetime and the skill carried over into this one.
Information. You can bring back valid data from previous periods.
Explanations. There are probably people in this life that you instantly like or love, and those that you instantly do not like or despise. Through regression you may find out why.
I immediately despised a man I met in this life, and likewise he despised me. There was no rational explanation for it because we had not known each other before, and neither of us had done anything to the other. Years later in one of my past life regressions, I encountered this man. He had murdered the woman I loved, and I in turn had killed him. That explained it.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
Following are several important things about regression you need to know.
You will always remember your experiences after you return from the regression.
You will recognize the people in past lives who you also know in this current life. They will not look the same, have the same names, and may not even be the same sex, but you will recognize them.
You may or may not always be the same sex in past lives as you are in your current life. Even though you look different, you will always be aware that it is you.
There is no fixed period of time after a death from one life before a rebirth into another life. I have encountered cases where someone rebirthed within minutes of their death. I have had other cases where many earth years passed between a death and a rebirth, and many cases with everything in between.
When you relive a past experience it will be realalthough you may think you are just making it up. Those who are new at experiencing regression think that they have made up the events. Dismiss the thought. You are not making it up. It is real and you are experiencing it as it was.
The more times you regress, the more successful you become and the more vivid and complete is the experience.
Do not be discouraged if, in the beginning, you do not have as complete or vivid an experience as you want. Keep at it. You will succeed if you persist.
RECORDING THE TAPES
You will need a cassette tape recorder and two 90-minute cassettes (45 minutes on each side). Record the script for Tape One on the first side of one cassette; record the script for Tape Two on the reverse side; record Tape Three on side one of the second cassette; record Tape Four on the reverse side. When you finish your recording, you will have a complete selfhypnosis package for past life regression.
As you read and record the scripts, speak slowly and clearly, pausing a second or so between sentences (pause longer where indicated). Use an even, monotone voice; do not record a dramatic or emotional reading. Self-hypnosis works best when you sound almost boring, because you want to bore your conscious mind so that it stops thinking, thus allowing your subconscious mind to automatically respond to the hypnosis commands.
Record all of each script except for instructions in parentheses (for example, pause 60 seconds). The instructions inform you to stop talking while allowing the tape to continue running. When the instruction indicates snap, physically snap your fingers. If you can't snap your fingers, substitute a similar sound such as slapping a ruler sharply against a tabletop. As you will see when you read the regression scripts, the snapping sound is important.
You may wish to record the script for Tape One first and listen to it. If you aren't satisfied with it, simply re-record it. When you obtain the tone and pace that works best for you, record the other tapes. With a little practice, you will succeed.
At the beginning of each session, take the phone off the hook so you won't be disturbed; sit or lie in a comfortable position; and turn on the recording and listen, following the instructions you have recorded.
PREPARATION
Tape One (recording script)
Close your eyes. Take a deep, full breath and exhale slowly. Take another deep breath and exhale. One more time a deep, full breath and hold it in. Now let it out completely and feel yourself relaxing more.
I want you to imagine now that all your tensions, all your tightness, and all your fears and worries are draining away from the top of your head. Let it drain down through your face, down through your neck, through your shoulders, through your chest, your waist, your hips, your thighs, down through your knees, your calves, your ankles, your feet and out your toes. All your tension, all your tightness, all your worries and fears are draining away now from the very tips of your toes, and you are relaxing more and more.
Focus your attention on your toes now and allow your toes to relax completely. Each toe is loose and heavy. Now let this relaxation flow into your feet, into your ankles, your calves, your knees. Feel it flowing into your thighs, into your hips, into your waist, flowing up into your chest now. Feel your breathing easier and deeper, more regular and more relaxed. Now let the deep relaxed feeling go into your shoulders, down your arms, into your upper arms, your forearms, and into your hands and fingers, and flowing back into your forearms, your upper arms, your shoulders. Flowing into your neck, over your face, your chin, your cheeks, even your ears are relaxed. Feel it flowing into your eyes and eyelids now. Your eyelids are so heavy and smooth. Flowing up into your eyebrows, over your forehead, over the top of your head, down the back of your head, and down the back of your neck.
A new heaviness is starting in your toes now. Twice as heavy as the first time. Imagine a heavy weight on each toe. Feel the heaviness deep and even more relaxed. And this heavy, deep feeling is going into your feet, your ankles, your calves, your knees, going into your thighs, your hips, into your waist. Flowing up into your chest now, relaxing your heart, relaxing your lungs, allowing your breathing to be more intense, more regular, more and more completely relaxed. Now the deep heavy feeling is flowing into your shoulders, and down your arms, your upper arms, your forearms, into your hands and fingers. And now flowing back through your forearms, your upper arms, into your shoulders and into your neck. Flowing over your face, into your eyes, over your eyebrows, over your forehead, over the top of your head, down the back of your head and down the back of your neck.
And a new heaviness is starting now at the top of your head. Twice as heavy as before. Twice as heavy. Imagine a heavy weight on the very top of your head, soft and relaxed and heavy. Feel the heavy relaxation flowing down into your face and eyes now, down through your neck, yo
ur shoulders, flowing down through your chest, your waist, your hips, your thighs, your knees, into your calves, your ankles, your feet and toes. Deeply relaxed, loose and limp, and comfortable from the top of your head to the very tip of your toes.
I want you to imagine now that you are looking at a blackboard. On the blackboard imagine a circle. Into the circle we are going to place the letters of the alphabet in reverse order, and with each letter after you place it into the circle, you will erase it then from inside the circle and allow yourself to relax more and more deeply.
Picture the blackboard now. Picture the circle. Into the circle put the letter Z.Now erase the Z from inside the circle, and go deeper. Put Y into the circle, and erase it and go deeper. X, and erase it and go deeper still. W, and erase it. V, and erase it. U, and erase it. T, and erase it. S, and erase it. R, and erase it. Q, and erase it. P, and erase it. 0, and erase it. N, and erase it. M, and erase it. L, and erase it. K, and erase it. J, and erase it. I, and erase it. H, and erase it. G, and erase it. F, and erase it. E, and erase it. D, and erase it. C, and erase it. B, and erase it. A, and erase it. Now erase the circle and forget about the blackboard. Just go on relaxing more and more deeply. Feel yourself sink into the chair, mind and body drifting deeper and deeper into relaxation, deeper with each breath.
As you breathe in, imagine that you are breathing in a pure clean, odorless anesthesia. The anesthesia is flowing all throughout your body now. It is a warm, numb, tingling feeling, and the more you breathe in, the more you want to breathe in, and you allow your breathing to become even deeper now, bringing in more and more of this peaceful, relaxing, tranquil feeling. From now on until the end of this session, you will allow yourself to relax more and more completely with each breath you take.
I want you to imagine now that you are looking at a clear, blue summer sky. And in the sky, a sky-writing airplane is writing your first name in fluffy, white cloud-like letters. See your name floating fluffy, white, and cloud-like in a clear, blue sky. Now let your name just dissolve away. Let the winds just blow your name away into the blue. Forget about your name. Forget you even have a name. Names are not important. Just go on listening to my voice and allowing yourself to relax more deeply.
I want you to imagine now that you are standing on the top step of a heavy wooden staircase. Feel the carpet under your feet. The carpet can be any kind and color you wish-create it. Now extend your hand out and touch the railing. Feel the smooth polished wood of the railing under your hand. You are standing just ten steps up from the floor below. The stairs are curving very smoothly down to the floor below. In a moment we will walk down the stairs. With each step down you will allow yourself to relax even more deeply. By the time you reach the floor below you will be deeper than you have ever gone before. Take a step down now, down to the ninth step smoothly and easily. Feel yourself going deeper. Now down to 8, deeper still. Now down to 7.. .6.. .5.. .4...3...2... 1. Now you are standing on the floor below. There is a door in front of you. A sign on the door reads, "Doorway to the Beach of Time." Reach out and open the door. A stream of golden sunlight pours through the open door. Walk through the door into the golden sunlight.
Before you stretches a beach of gleaming white sand. Beyond the edge of the beach is an endless ocean of clear blue-green water. Walk forward on the beach until you come to the place where the dry sand meets the wet sand near the water's edge. Stand here a moment and absorb all the sights and sounds.
Notice the sea gulls in the sky above. Watch them dive for their dinner in the sea below. Listen to their chatter as they return to the sky. Notice the other birds around you. They show their appreciation for life in their smooth gliding and happy song.
Look at the majestic expanse of ocean in front of you. It stretches as far as you can see. A gentle wave comes ashore and rushes past your feet. Feel how it tugs at you as it recedes back to the ocean. This ocean is the infinite sea of never-ending life and consciousness. Wade out into the water a short distance to where the water comes to your knees. This sea, of which you are a part, contains all the power you will ever need. Feel the power coming from the ocean floor up through your feet and legs bringing with it love and zest for life. Bringing with it courage and faith. Stand there and allow this priceless gift from the sea to fill your entire body. Flowing up through your legs. Into the trunk of your body. Flowing into your neck and head. You are filled from the sea of consciousness and life. You feel vibrant with love for life and for all. A powerful peace settles over you. Courage has filled every facet of your being. You know you can handle anything in a sensible and beneficial manner. You fear nothing at all. You have no fear, and this is so. Tremendous faith races through you. There is no room for doubt, and you have no doubts. You have received faith, courage, power, and zest for life from this infinite source of goodness. Now walk back to the beach to the point where an occasional wave washes past your ankles. Bend down and write in the wet sand with your finger this message: "I Love." Now under your "I Love" message write the names of all those special people you wish to send love. Be sure to include your own name. I will stop talking for one minute while you write the names.
(Pause 60 seconds.)
If you have not yet written your own name, do so quickly now.
(Pause 5 seconds.)
Now a wave from the sea of consciousness washes up over your message and past your ankles. The wave recedes, washing the beach clean. Your love message has been carried into the sea of universal consciousness where it has become reality. Bend down and write in the wet sand once more. This time write "I forgive" followed by your own name first, and then the names of all whom you believe have wronged you in some way. I will give you one minute now to do this.
(Pause 60 seconds.)
Now at the end of your list write these words: and all others." Now another wave from the sea of infinite consciousness washes over your message and past your ankles. When the wave retreats to the sea, it takes with it your message of forgiveness which has now become reality. You have now purged yourself of guilt, blame, and animosity. You have filled your life with love, courage, faith, and zest. You are in balance and in harmony with all. You are now ready to serve with integrity and success.
Now stand up and face the sea of life once again. Turn your head to the right and look up the beach. That is the direction of the past. There is a closed door a short distance from you in that direction. A sign on the door reads, "Doorway to the past." Now turn your head around to your left and look up the beach in that direction. That is the direction of the future. There is a closed door a short distance from you in that direction. A sign on the door reads, "Doorway to the future."
Now look back toward the sea of life and consciousness. The breeze from the ocean brings you the awareness of what you must do now. You must open the door to the past so you can enter it and go back in time to a previous period. Turn to your right now and walk to the door of the past. There is a key hanging on a nail on the door jam. Take the key into your hand and unlock the door. Put the key back onto the nail. Push the door open all the way. Beyond the door you see a thick, silver fog bank that is currently blocking your view of the past. You have opened the door to the past, and you will return here another time to learn how to walk through the door, dissolve the fog bank, and enter a previous life experience.
Now walk back up the beach toward the door to the future until you are about halfway there. You are halfway there now. It is the present moment. Turn and face the sea of life and consciousness again. Look up into the sky at the beautiful, life-giving sun. Allow the sun to come down from the sky until it is sitting on top of your head. It is coming down. It is warm and relaxing, but not burning. Lower and lower it comes until it rests gently on top of your head. Now allow the sun to flow down into your body, filling you completely with life's power and protection. A powerful shield of white light completely surrounds your body. This shield is a positive energy shield that will be with you from now on. It protects you from harmful effect
s of any negative experience you may encounter. Negative energies cannot penetrate this shield. This means that you can see, experience, observe, and be fully aware of all experiences whether negative or positive, but the negative ones cannot penetrate and cause you harm or difficulties. The positive energies can penetrate and benefit you. You benefit from the negative experiences by being aware of them and having knowledge of them without experiencing difficulty from them. This positive shield also allows your positive energies to go out and help others. Your positive shield holds in any negative energies that you may create yourself so you cannot harm others. Of course this means you can only have difficulties from negative energies that you yourself create. Therefore, resolve now to be careful to not create negative energies. Say the following words to yourself as I say them: "I will harbor only positive thoughts regarding myself and others. If I start to entertain negative thoughts, I will become immediately aware of it, and I will cancel the thought and replace it with a positive, constructive thought."
Now allow the sun to return to the sky, leaving behind the powerful positive shield which will envelop you from now on at all times.
Now it is time to leave the beach until the next time. Walk back toward the doorway through which you entered the beach. There is a seashell lying along your path. Pick up the seashell and put it to your ear and listen to the message from the shell. Turn and look at the sea once more and say, "Good-bye." It is time to go back through the doorway and to the stairs of life. You have the love and excitement of life drawn up from the sea within you now. Say a special thanks to those people who have been thoughtful to you as your sea fades from view. Now walk through the doorway and leave the beach. You are now at the bottom of your spiral staircase. I will now count from one to ten. With each number I say, take one step up your staircase until you reach the top.
