Regression Preparation

Regression Preparation

Experience more productive and successful sessions by following these suggestions.

You’ll perceive what you’re ready for. If you prefer to only go back to a happy lifetime, let Stephen know. Otherwise, if you view something traumatic, you are only remembering it, not reliving it, and you decided on some level that it was time to face it rather than continuing to avoid it. Be willing to accept, even if only temporarily, that we have all been “good” and “bad” in past lives. It’s okay if you perceive yourself as a “bad” person in a past-life regression or as someone who’s being abused in some way as long as you forgive yourself and others for anything that happened, learn from your mistakes, and avoid repeating those mistakes.
Realize forgiveness of the self and others is a key part of regression when it’s used to solve problems. When you or someone else has acted negatively in a past life, and if you’re having a difficult time forgiving them, focus on the reasons for those negative actions. With awareness comes understanding; with understanding comes acceptance and forgiveness.
Understand that your subconscious mind has a memory of all your experiences, both in this life and in past lives. You have the ability to access these memories.
Don’t expect a miracle cure in one or two sessions for a conflict that may have formed over many lifetimes. Let go of your expectations and be open to what you receive. Although answers can be discovered and some problems solved in one or two sessions, this isn’t always the case. Past-life regression does work, but you must be willing to go deep enough to find the root cause of a conflict. Some processes require many sessions to be completed. It’s helpful to think of meditation and past-life regression as part of an ongoing journey toward enlightenment. It will be more successful when that journey also includes reflection on or work with whatever emerges during each session. Remembering a single past life which seems to explain the cause of a current life problem may sometimes be enough, but it’s necessary to follow through by taking responsibility for your life, forgiving yourself and anyone involved, and by taking appropriate actions that will help to solve the problem or reach the goal.
Past-life regression compliments other forms of therapy, especially after you’ve found and released the root cause of the problem.
You’ll most likely feel as if you’re making up some or most past-life recall. This is normal, for even those who have experienced many regressions. It can happen because information we receive from the subconscious mind has to be interpreted by our conscious mind, just as we interpret information we receive through our eyes from books and through our ears from the radio. This interpretation—made up of images, thoughts, smells, or sounds—may seem like make-believe since we can’t validate the information we’re receiving and/or we have been conditioned to believe that past lives are just our imagination. In spite of this, during the days, weeks, months, and years after a regression session, most people learn information or experience coincidences that seem to validate what they perceived during a regression.
Don’t expect to black out. Relaxing so deeply during mediation or regression that you don’t remember what happened is unusual. If you do go very deep or fall asleep, you’ll awaken shortly afterward, depending on how tired you were, just like you do from a nap.
You’ll be able to return to the present easily on your own by counting from one to five. Counting from one to five is not necessary, but it helps the process.
Accept responsibility for yourself and your life. A victim mentality will block awareness. When you perceive through meditation and regression that past-life events have contributed to present life situations, it will be easier to accept that life really is fair.
You must sincerely want to improve your life in order for the process of regression and meditation to successfully help you find answers and solve problems. If there are hidden benefits for you to hold onto a problem or conflict, your subconscious mind will not allow the process to help you reach and maintain your goal. Make a decision to improve your situation and then consider everything that would change in your life if you reached your goal. If, after honest self-appraisal, the goal is still important to you, accept the changes that would come with reaching it.
Don’t expect that what you perceive during meditation and regression will be like watching a movie. The images you see or sense may only be fragments. However, they’ll become more clear as you make an effort to accept what comes and to suspend any doubt while doing so. Some people only hear information, some only feel it, some just know it, and others perceive in a combination of these methods. You’ll perceive more as you relax and trust the process.
Don’t try to control it or make it happen; just let go and accept what you perceive. If you’re naturally skeptical or religious, you may have difficulty allowing the process to work. Try to suspend your beliefs and temporarily act as if past lives are real, otherwise your doubt will cloud or block awareness.
Be willing to accept, even if only temporarily, the law of karma and science which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that everything you have done, said, thought, and intended in your past has contributed to your present life. You have the option of improving your present circumstances by finding and releasing the past cause.

Challenges to Successful Meditations or Regressions

Laziness. While meditation and past-life regression can become, through practice, as easy as watching TV, it takes patience and perseverance to reach this stage. By following directions and through discipline and preparation, you’ll gain far more than from any TV program. Turn off the TV and transform your life.
Rigid views about the way things are supposed to be. This often becomes more true as we get older. An openness to the possibility of new ideas and viewpoints will help. A realization that age has little to do with spiritual awareness also helps.
Failure to trust the process. If you need to, suspend all skepticism and pretend you believe. Make it okay with yourself to feel like you’re making up whatever you perceive. If you feel strong emotions during a regression, it may indicate a higher possibility of validity.
No specific goal in mind. Even if the goal is simply to experience a happy past life or what you would most benefit from perceiving at this time, it’s important to give the mind some direction.
Reason for using meditation or past-life regression isn’t clear enough. What do you really want to know ? Is that the real problem? Do you really want to reach the goal? What would happen if you did reach your goal? Would you like it?
Can’t focus long enough to perceive anything of value. The discipline of daily meditation will help.
Closed off to the truth. You must be willing to consider whatever comes up, even if it’s unpleasant. It’s helpful to remember that you aren’t reliving whatever you perceive, only recalling and observing it. There is no danger of getting stuck in the past.
Trying to avoid responsibility for current life situations. You must accept that only you are responsible for your life situations and that there are no victims.
Fear of losing control. This may be the result of a death in a past life from drowning, drugs, alcohol, or anesthesia, or from being manipulated or controlled in either the current or a past life. You may have better results by using past life self-regression recordings on your own.
Out of touch with emotions or body. The discipline of daily meditation will help you get in touch with yourself and your true feelings.
Addictions to or use of drugs or alcohol. Recreational drugs can block meditation and prevent regression insight and awareness, even if the drug was last used weeks or even months earlier. Some prescription drugs, especially if they are mood altering, can also block awareness. Use of recreational drugs and alcohol may also allow spiritual parasites to cloud insight, intuition, and awareness.
Food allergies or intolerances can have the same affect as drugs.
Lack of interest in or fear of awareness. Ironically, these can be remedied by finding the root cause of them through regression therapy.
Awareness through past-life regression about a particular conflict may not be appropriate now. If not, keep asking for help and you’ll know what needs to be done at the right time.

More Tips to make regression easier:

Ask for help from God or your guides or angels of the Light.
If you’re still having trouble perceiving anything, jump start the process by using your imagination. Continue this process until other (past-life) images that feel more related to the issue you are exploring start filtering into your mind.
If you have trouble perceiving past-life information, begin with small steps. First try a regression back to an event which took place a few years ago in your current life. Then, after you’re successful with this, try an event 10 years ago. Keep going back until you feel you’re ready for a simple past-life review, such as a lifetime where you were happy. After success with that, you should be ready to view a lifetime that will explain how you knew someone in your current life or reveal the cause of a problem.
If you have tried everything and you still can’t seem to have successful meditations or past life self-regressions, there may be two other reasons: First, your expectations may be interfering. You may be expecting to see something when you might be more successful perceiving in a different way, such as sound or feeling. Try not to think during the process. Stay open and try visualizing white light around you. Second, you may be blocked emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. Keep asking for help, continue practicing while utilizing the white light, and stay open for clues.
