Hypnosis and Regression therapy

This is the term describing working with the unconscious or subconscious part of our selves to many people hardly even recognized and yet so very powerful. All our memories are buried in there possibly the memories of past lives also. It may be likened to a hidden genie possessing very outstanding abilities.
Apparently it is this aspect of us, which runs our body in automatic mode indeed Edgar cayce said it was this aspect of our selves which he could tune into and gain all sorts of information from the bodies of people he was working with. The Egyptians called it the kA and there were special people who worked with the KA and these were called Kahunas.
Imagine for a moment every ability you have ever learned initially you possibly would have had to think about it first but slowly with practice you came more and more proficient until you were able to do it automatically. The subconscious part of you has learned and the conscious part of you can get on with other things. In fact most people are all capable of doing a variety of tasks at the same time, think of something like driving and you can even listen to the radio and use your mobile phone and have a conversation at the same time. It would take a massive computer to take in that information process it and utilize it. The characteristics of the Ka were great memory power where as the normal waking conscious had to make great effort to remember. The waking conscious could reason though. Apparently the Ka had amazing power to conduct miracles once it had been recognized by the

waking conscious part of us. The ka responds best by being encouraged often and praised willingly loved much and understanding and forgiveness expressed when there was a failure, just as one would deal with a precocious child. I have read where when the ka was rebuked badly it would refuse to cooperate with what was trying to be achieved. This is very important point when dealing with children as a scolding can have very damaging effects. One will rarely if ever get the best out of people with a wrong approach.
The Ka was a hidden self with its desires, fears, complexes, and fixations totally hidden with the average person being totally unaware of. It could manifest itself as the conscience or in many other ways. The teachers of old maintained that it was the ka that needed training in most people for instance nearly all of us tend to follow the pattern of pleasing the appetite, which the Ka simultaneously learns to enjoy. Having begun such an unwise practice we then submit to subtle promptings from the ka to continue to experiencing dietary pleasures. Once the ka has come to accept such pleasures it rebels against change. This principle can be applied to nearly all habits. Responding to the ka nudging we firmly establish our bad habits which could be all manor of things overeating, smoking, idle gossip, negative thinking, greed.
The list is very long and I will the reader to recognise some of the habits, which have been learnt. When we realise that we

must bring the ka under control this discipline becomes difficult .The ka generally resists change and insists on continuing habits, which it has learned to enjoy regardless the damage to the physical form. Bringing change requires persistent will power, habitual meditation, breathing exercies, and daily affirmations spoken firmly and with power until the ka finally submitting realises that you serious about reform. When finally the ka realises that the promptings are having no effect the ka will bow to your superior will and become a most powerful alley.
Of course certain drug manufactures rely on this habit principle and know full well it is very difficult to wean you off anything when they have got you hooked. Just look at the people who would love to be rid of smoking, over drinking and many other drugs. However it is mans duty to learn to master these influences some people will mention though- is it fair that drug manufactures are targeting the young and impressionable – the children.
Although the ka can be persuaded to change habits, which could be harmful to the body, it could be adamant about its morals and ethics. In some people it can sit in moral judgment about the acts the normal waking self commits particularly if these acts involve meanness, selfishness, cheating, lying, greed and other hateful acts. This provides the battleground in us all, the waking self may be trying to give up harmful habits and the ka resisting, the ka sitting in moral judgment sitting in cringing shame and remorse with a troubled conscience over the acts committed by the normal waking self. This can create all sorts of serious problems for people one example might be feelings of not deserving what is good in life where you unconsciously avoid what should be rightfully yours. Or even where you unconsciously shut off experiences, which you would normally enjoy, and that could be a whole variety of events from experiencing sexual climaxes to a walk in the country. The teachers of old maintained that deep in the ka memory were a whole load of blockages completely involved with the emotions so deep that we were not consciously aware of them at all. Events incidents and happenings that were forgotten to the conscious mind often lay smoldering in the depths of the subconscious causing all sorts of fixations and blockages. It was these, which could come out as neurosis, nervous upsets, stresses, anxieties, tensions, emotional explosions, and negative patterns all coming up from within. It is thought these need to be brought to the surface and drained away .The ka seems to change itself slowly with coaxing and repetition .Old complexes thought patterns fears anxieties

must be cleared away. The real difficulty arises when there is guilt and shame and a cause cannot be found or discovered .In these instances it is well to do daily good deeds in a very impersonal way – in a way that is done without regard to reward or thanks.
This is a very good approach to convincing the ka that we deserve good things to happen in our life. The good outweighs the bad deeds done. This was outlined very clearly in the Edgar cayce teachings.
Of huge importance was the ability to forgive, we must all learn to forgive “ forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us”. The ka could be controlled with hypnotic suggestion and affirmations. The normal ka childlike in its expression was loving and eager to serve the needs of the normal conscious self unless it was overwhelmed by blockages we have talked about earlier. So you can see those who commit acts of a sinful uncaring nature will only be hurting themselves though they may not realise it at the time. The ka had outstanding abilities, which the normal conscious self lacked.

1.An ability to discern radiation’s or vibrations such as the feeling you get when sensing atmospheres in places, auras, etc.

2.It can establish a contact between itself and another person or object. Many people talk of being connected to different people.

3.It could with training project its [feeling vibration sense] to unlimited distances to contact places, for healing emanations, for psychic revelations or for clairvoyant visions. It could project thoughtforms thus telepathy or thought transference could be used.

4.It was also able to project a part of your consciousness so that you could see, hear, feel, smell at different places while not physically there.

5.Of supreme importance it could carry the prayers, thought currents upward to your higher self.

Apparently the teachers of old taught that one had to keep the body in as perfect health as one could. One could not indulge in a lazy lifestyle foolish diet and no exercise and then pray for healing when your body starts giving up under the strain. Apparently the ka maybe unwilling to help and the higher self would also turn away.

Working with hypnosis and regression therapy

It is estimated that approximately 16 million Americans, have restricted lives because they are too anxious to drive, or to fly in a plane, or to take an elevator, or to lie on a beach, or to wash your hair, or to enter a restaurant, or to use a public toilet, or to undergo surgery,

or to pick up a telephone, or to shake hands with a stranger, or to even leave your home, can we really know what misery and frustration a phobia can cause.
Many people now realise that hypnotherapy can help with an enormous number of problems some of which are very seriously disabling to the people suffering from them and there long suffering families.
To name a few of the many problems it has helped.

1.Losing weight.
2.Giving up smoking.
3.Nail biting.
4.Stammering.
5.Confidence building.
6 Hundreds of Phobias such as Agoraphobia: fear of open spaces, Chionophobia: fear of snow Frigophobia: fear of the cold, Gamophobia: fear of marriage, Genuphobia: fear of fear of knees
Lyssophobia: fear of insanity, Monophobia: fear of being alone, Nyctophobia: fear of darkness
Pathophobia: fear of disease, Pogonophobia: fear of beards, Scopophobia: fear of being stared at
Taphophobia: fear of being buried alive, Xenophobia: fear of the unknown, Zoophobia: fear of animals.

Very often an unchecked phobia spreads to more and more situations. Thus the life of a phobic person becomes ever more constricted.
A person suffering a germ phobia could ultimately lead to the person living in one highly scrubbed room with a very restricted intake of (supposedly germ-free) food and drink and only very clean people able to be seen.
A person might have a phobia, of driving across a bridge. Then this might go further and have huge anxiety of even looking at a photograph of a bridge, so he avoids books with photographs of bridges and movies because there might be a bridge image, so he begins to avoid bookstores and cinemas. Then sometimes streets, near bridges. Then Roads because somewhere along them there might be a bridge.
In fact you will see all sorts of seemingly irrational behavior by people as many will have developed strategies and behavioral ploys to avoid their fears perhaps done unconsciously. For instance a person may be suffering from the fear of driving but when asked what does driving represent to that person it might be responsibility, adulthood when really the real reason was that this person had a fear of growing up.

James Esdail, performed 2,000 operations - even amputations - with the patients under hypno-anaesthesia and feeling no pain.
Both the British Medical Association and the American Medical Association issued statements supporting the usefulness of hypnosis as a form of therapy.

A brain operation was performed under hypnosis in the US.

New Scientist publishes results of largest survey ever recorded of stopping smoking methods, spanning several continents - hypnosis proven to be streets ahead of anything else!
Drugs can certainly calm you down; they may have some very damaging and permanent side effects, which you may not get told about. And beneath the chemical calm, the fear lives on. However, with hypnosis, you can remove the fear forever.

When the cause of a phobia is known (e.g., having been exposed to a cat mauling you) the person is taught to relax and while relaxing the person is introduced to similar scenes firstly in his imagination. If the cause is not known, then hypnosis is first used to uncover the reason for the phobia.
Other techniques are employed to conquer a purposeless phobia that has been learned by someone teaching the client, as in the case of many children picking up fears from their parents. Generally this means that while the client is in hypnosis she is gradually exposed to the feared object or scene or experience. This is, of course, in the person’s imagination. It is the hypnotists job to keep the client in a relaxed state some people even employ a detachment technique Then the person is encouraged over time to face the fear in real life.
Negative programming may have reinforced the phobia, sometimes over many years. For example, a person may start thinking repeatedly when coming to confront his phobia, we will take the example of a fear of water “If I enter the swimming pool I’ll faint and drown. Probably the chlorine in the water is poisonous, the water’s bound to be too hot [too cold, too crowded, too deep or I will slip or get stuck etc.
Such irrational and programmed thoughts are replaced in therapy by rational positive thoughts. For example, “I’ve swum safely in the pool before. There is always an alert lifeguard. I am an excellent swimmer.”It will feel good to be fit; I would also like to teach my children to swim etc.

Feedback

A person x with a phobia of cats and was generally able to avoid contact with them in most of his life. He would cross the street if he saw one of the dreaded creatures coming his way. He would steer away from shops, restaurants any places where he knew there might be a cat. In all other ways life was normal for this person.
One day his best friend excitedly reported over the phone that he’d brought a pair of kittens for his daughter.
The person x began to make excuses not to visit the friend.
Slowly person x became more and more embarrassed about his phobia. His daughter also developed a fear of cats which is quite common for fears to be transmitted to your offspring. Finally, Person x decided to conquer his phobia. He made an appointment with a hypnotherapist. Three sessions were all the hypnotherapist needed to help person x get over his fear.
The first session of hypnosis was used to uncover the cause of the doctor's phobia (at age four he had been badly mauled by a cat, something he had entirely forgotten); in the second session the hypnotherapist used behavioral techniques to enable the person x to approach cats in his imagination); the third session was devoted to supportive therapy with positive imaging and post-hypnotic suggestions. Person x was encouraged to actually touch cats in real life. And that is exactly what he did.
Person x was ecstatic. But his daughter was still scared. So father brought her to the hypnotherapist. She was so responsive that only one session was required to enable her to be comfortable playing with the cats.
Another person y quit a 15-year smoking habit using hypnosis and that it changed that person’s life. Hypnosis made it easy and y had no withdrawal symptoms. y never felt so good in my y, s life.

Sportsman and women regularly use hypnosis for enhancing performance.

Seemingly is quite important for the person who has a phobia to find out why they have this problem, this is the first part of the healing process. To take people back to the time when the problem occurs gives that person a sound reason for their problem and prevents people thinking they are going out of their mind or are weak or foolish. Obviously there is a reason for every thing however sometimes the reason cannot be found in this lifetime no matter how hard the search over numerous sessions.
One of the first processes with your consultant would be time spent together developing a trusting rapour where he will take quite a few details and tell you about hypnosis so you are fully at ease with the therapist and his techniques.
Various techniques are employed in achieving the hypnotic state, talking you through a relaxation exercise is quite common. Sometimes you will be asked to concentrate on a particular spot perhaps on the ceiling while the therapist makes suggestion of relaxation. Another form would be the hypnotic spiral, which is a large disk with black lines, which disappear into a single point. This can have a similar effect in the fact that you become drowsy and tired.
The comments relaxed and comfortable are some of the reports of what it feels like to be hypnotised. Like being tucked up and snug in a bed and being somewhere between half-asleep and half-awake. You would be aware of all that is going on .All you have to do is to be a willing and cooperative person as your therapist takes you through the relaxation exercise to the hypnotic state.
The use of visual imagination is vital and one should keep one of your greatest gifts active. It is often through the use of your imagination that transports us into different states of being.
Regression therapy
The real value of this treatment is demonstrated when the patient is aware of how he or she acts in certain situations but can find no real reason for it .By means of regression the root can often be found even if this is in other lifetimes. Those involved in knowing themselves may also find regression useful in uncovering the patterns set in motion from the past, it may also give useful clues of why certain likes and dislikes are present in this lifetime. In treating a person who has had a traumatic experience in a past life which is manifesting problems now there of course no fixed quantity of sessions. It may require to of three sessions to find the problematic lifetime. But during the course of these sessions confidence and rapor between therapist and patient should soar.
One very important technique which is often employed is the detachment technique .As you can imagine taking someone back to a very traumatic time and experiencing this again could bring unnecessary suffering. This is where the detachment technique is really of huge value .The therapist will create in the patient’s imagination a situation where he or she is watching herself like watching a film. This ensures no suffering takes place. To give an example let us imagine you taken back to a place where in a past life

you were perhaps executed you would not want to experience the pain and possible terror of that event again. It would seem experienced therapist will watch out for any signs that the patient was suffering and bring the detachment technique to bear.
It would appear that people experience regression in different ways, some people actually feel they are in the body of the person of a former self and they are conscious of life going on all around them as in normal life. Others will talk about themselves as if describing the events on a film, some people see very clearly and are well able to describe actual images in huge detail. Little by little detail is uncovered as what you are wearing, what color your skin is, what date is it, are you male or female, going on to describe the buildings, the roads, etc. By building up the picture slowly the patient is not confronted with a barrage of questions but is allowed to settle into the lifetime easily. In previous lives we have been male and female as the soul makes its progression through history, the soul will have to master both the attributes of both sexes in building all the qualities its needs .As you can imagine if one has been the same sex for many lifetimes it can take some real adjusting to an opposite gender hence some of the reasons for gays, lesbians and those people who have inclinations toward both.
Apparently one does not go back to lives in chronological order it can be a haphazard affair jumping from one life to another. Another point well worth mentioning it appears in the main that we tend to incarnate in groups the mother in one lifetime being the companion in another .The grandson of today may have been the beloved teacher of yesterday. At an unconscious level we are fully aware of who is who from the past.
It is also possible to regress people to babyhood and even to being back in the mother’s womb.
People do ask why we do not remember past lives consciously. But how confusing this could be and could create much turmoil we may even find ourselves repeating past habits giving not much chance for change to occur. Thankfully it would appear that god has placed what is termed the veil of forgetfulness upon us and it is this which shields us on a conscious level from the past. . Fortunately I have been shown or given information about some of my previous existence’s totaling now to about twelve and during meditation other information has also come through so there is no doubt about reincarnation. I am not asking you dear reader to believe or not believe you must find your own proof which is right to you and like the sages of old we are all told all our answers lie within. But to give you something to think about and to add evidence to the point please look at the case studies.

First, however, I'd like to address the question of whether "past lives" are real. huge volumes of data that would prove to any legitimate scientist that many "past life" memories are based on real historic people and events. I refer the reader to Helen Wambach's seminal research work (Reliving Past Lives), Marge Rieder's extraordinary and well-researched Mission to Marlboro, and Ian Stevenson's exhaustively scientific 30 Cases Suggestive of Re-incarnation written by a skeptical scientist. It seems to me that books like these (all of which are available from the Association for Past Lives Research and Therapy at are sufficient to prove to any objective scientific person that past life memories have been documented as accurate for a significant number of test subjects. Those who continue to deny this may present themselves as scientific. In reality, they are trapped in an irrational dogma comparable to the beliefs of those church "scholars" in the 16th Century who maintained their belief in an earth centered solar system in the face of Galileo's telescopes. ("My mind is made up! Don't confuse me with the facts!")Tragically, these hardened dogmatists are in charge of much of the research funding and training of therapists today, just as the Catholic Church had a stranglehold on science in the 16th Century.

A few case studies
Names and associations have been changed or withheld and some of the stories do have a smack of fiction in them to outline certain points.
Ever since she could remember Pam was afraid of water and had not been able to learn to swim unlike the other children and she would invent any excuse to avoid getting anywhere near to water. When she had been forced to enter a swimming pool she had stayed near the edge gripping the handrail with as much force as she could muster. She could cope with most situations in life but slowly this fear started to spread so that would not have a bath and would sponge herself down. This got her into a lot of trouble, as her parents did not very understand people at all. Other children teased her about it also making it far worse. As she grew up washing up became a real problem and even going out in the rain was having an effect. She was becoming like a prisoner in her own home. Finally she sought professional help, Pam had lost a huge amount of confidence from all of this pressure and teasing over the years and had a very low opinion of herself .A few sessions were instigated to build confidence trust and ability with the techniques. This lifetime was tried first but Pam had said that she had screamed really hard when her mother was giving her a bath when she was tiny. Pam tried regression therapy next and agreed to try former lifetimes although at this stage she was not consciously sure about them. Pam was regressed to former life where she was the wife of a locksmith; she described the clothes of the time, where she lived which was by the sea and the usual ups and downs of family life. Nothing could be found to indicate a traumatic experience with water in fact she seemed like the sea and talked openly and with real affection the scenes. At the end of the session Pam was brought back to the present time and Pam was convinced that she had experienced a former life she was also fully aware of being her 20th century self also. She wanted to try more as she was getting interested in the phenomena of regression. Her second session was totally different she went back to a time when she was a lad and had slipped into a river being unable to swim he went under a few times but was rescued by another person. He was naturally distressed but this experience did not have any permanent effect. However in that lifetime he had been attacked near to the river and had been pushed into it and had drowned as a result. This was the result of her phobia, not just the drowning but the violence before it and the panic as the young man get kept going under the water. Pam was really relieved to know there was a real reason for her phobia and she was not going mad. This knowing does not bring a cure in itself but really brings relief to a troubled mind. Now the other treatment could begin where water was introduced into her imagination first of all until she really
