Many believers of reincarnation are now getting in on the regression craze. No matter how you do it, past life regression can be an interesting experience.
As with any type of hypnotherapy, I strongly suggest that you really get to know the person doing it and that you trust them implicitly. Some who are not well trained are performing this action for others with some rather tragic results. The person regressed is having to undergo once again traumas that they can be shielded from because the regressor is not well trained. This can make the overall effort not only a waste of time but hazardous to your personal safety. Some feelings you do NOT want to experience again, i.e. loss of life, pains and heartaches, etc.
Azrael was regressed by an individual, and also by an audio tape commercially created for that purpose, which he and Spiritwind and I listened to one night. There are many such tools available in occult stores and can be used with varying degrees of success. I have also been put under by two people. Neither one had much luck getting me to past incarnations. One tried and received no appreciable results for his early efforts. Another tried a different tack which seemed to be going no where helpful until it suddenly got out of control very quickly indeed.
Then the first person tried again later on and got some odd results thanks to the literal way in which I tend to take things.
Each mind reacts individually as you will see if you regress with friends. Each brings their own expectations to the experiment and as a result there can be an interesting stories to share. I had a problem a few days after the taped regression. I blocked the results from myself for several days then suddenly the memories just appeared in the front of my mind as clear as my memories of that morning.
While they were not extensive or explanatory for me, they were shockingly explicit in their details. I intend to find a hypnotherapist I can trust in my area to flush out the details of the Oh-so-interesting-life I glimpsed some time in the future. It will hopefully have some bearing on my current incarnation which I can use.
