Previously we ended off What Goes On In A Hypnosis Session Part 2 touching on regression. And if you don’t already know it, a regression is a hypnosis technique to go back in time to their memories. If you heard of Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP, it is also known as timeline therapy

Disappearing past and future written on sand beach.

To me, they are pretty much the same or similar methods


The difference is which direction you are going, backwards into the past, or forward into the future


Another difference is how you do the process, using visual or auditory means, for example


Now we won’t be going into all those details


Today, we will be looking into the 3 main types of regression


Most people will know of current life regression, as well as past life regression


I’ll save the third version to be revealed towards the end of this article


So read on my friend!


Current Life Regression


Well, we usually don’t say current life regression, we just say regression or a hypnotic regression


As mentioned above, it is a hypnosis technique to go back in time in memories


So what is it for?


Usually, we do this technique when there is an event that happened in the past and it left a mark in your unconscious mind


So much so that it if affecting you in a number of ways


Whether it is a trauma stemming from physical violence, or an accident that cause another negative pattern to be formed within


A regression is an excellent way to find the root cause and resolve it cleanly so that you will no longer be affected by it


To understand how this works, you have to first understand that the unconscious mind will store all information within


Similar to a computer!


And when you want to recall something, that is your conscious mind attempting to retrieve said information


So even if you are unable to recall a piece of information, you might say you have forgotten about it


However to me, you didn’t forget, rather you are currently unable to retrieve the information for whatever reason


Maybe it is due to age, perhaps the connections are broken


Just like how you might be unable to find a specific folder in your computer, but you know it’s there!


Unfortunately, we do not have a search function in our minds (yet)


So what happens is that when you have, say, an anxiety attack and it stems from your past


An example of a regression technique will tap into that emotion of anxiety and follow the neurology back to the source


This will bring you back to that specific memory, that event that planted the seed of anxiety in you in the first place


And it can be in your childhood, or teenage years


But you might even see yourself as a baby or even as a fetus in your mother’s womb!


It is dependent on when the event happened


Once there, we will resolve it cleanly and you are finally free


Past Life Regression


I know a lot of people are curious about this


First of all, I usually do not recommend doing a past life regression for fun, for curiosity’s sake


This is because you might end up in a past life that is potentially traumatic or eventful


And if you are not ready to resolve it, you might carry the trauma back with you

Ergo, opening a can of worms into this life


That wouldn’t be very nice right?


Anyway, so how does past life regression work?


Are past lives even real?


To be honest, I don’t know whether past lives are real or not


Because technically, there is no way to prove or disprove it


The weird thing is, that if the issue is from a past life, then doing this technique works


Even if it isn’t from a past life, we can say that it is a symbolic representation of the issue


And it still works anyway


Now let’s pretend past lives are real


So what happens is that the information is stored within the soul


And when the soul reincarnates, the information from a previous life or past lives can thus be transferred into this life


Think of it as you are transferring the programs from your previous computer into a brand-new computer


With new technology, new parts, new wires


And sometimes, the previous information had some bugs, errors or even a virus!


Which you didn’t know and thus it got transferred into the new computer


Heck sometimes the uploading of information is huge and that can cause bugs too


Like some data got corrupted during the transfer and thus this might create some issues as well


The funny thing is that even if you do not believe in past lives, if we end up doing this technique


Your issue will still be resolved


Ancestry Life Regression


Ancestry Regression is the third type of regression that I can do


What this does is to regress along your DNA into your ancestors’ lives!


This is because sometimes the issue stem from something your ancestor did


And no I’m not talking about karma, I don’t believe in that in terms of how people commonly believe in it


For example, the seed of anxiety was first experienced by your grandfather


And it got passed down to your mother, and finally into you


Thus doing this ancestry regression will allow us to find the root cause along your DNA and resolve it cleanly from there


There was an experiment done with some lab mice, where they were put in a little tunnel with cheese at the end


In the middle of the tunnel was a wire with electricity, and so the mice will get shocked on the way to the cheese


A few generations later, the new mice entered into this tunnel which they have never seen before and see the cheese at the end


However, when they came across the wire (which is not turn on for this part of the experiment), they were afraid


From here the scientists can conclude trauma can be stored as information in the sperm or egg, in the DNA


And this is what we now call Generational Trauma


The thing is, it might not just be trauma


It can be behaviors or other patterns as well


As long as the information gets stored in the DNA, and it is affecting you in a negative way


Then the ancestry regression is the right method to help you resolve and be free


You Learn Something New Every Day


Fascinating isn’t it?


And like I mentioned earlier, you don’t have to believe in whether past lives exist or whether the negative patterns was encoded from your ancestors for it to work


Essentially, as long as you want to resolve an issue, and keep an open mind about it


You can


I once did a past life regression for a client with a hunger urge – she wouldn’t stop eating


In that single session, she ended up in a past life of a prehistoric stone crab!


She was so hungry as she crawled the deep dark ocean looking for food – hence the hunger


We resolved it and a few days later I checked up on her


She was happy to report that she no longer has the urge to eat


Previously she might eat 3-4 plates of food and still be hungry!


Now she can eat 3 quarters of a plate and be full
