Past Life Regression

“ For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?

And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?

​

"Khalil Gibran"

​

Death, that dreaded word or state, but what exactly does it mean? I am sure it means a lot of different things to as many people who have thought about it. Many are afraid to even talk about this state, and for good reason, because we do not like to discuss that which we know little about and because the subject is seen as being morbid. But why should we avoid talking about something that we will all have to experience; because of fear, fear that has been planted in our psyche, mostly through religious teaching.

​

But is the word death, a misnomer for something else, something that is not to be feared, but to be embraced? Many years ago, when I was about 3 years old my father gave me a red and black cowboy hat, it was my most prized possession. I did not miss an opportunity to wear it, and as such, wear and tear finally destroyed it, I had to trash it. In my mind my hat died, true but my head was still alive. Where am I going with this line? The word death (relative to humans)  means the end of biological life, but are we just our biological bodies or do we also have a consciousness separate and apart from our physical bodies? My answer to that is yes.

​

About ten million Americans have reported what we call a Near Death Experience (NDE). Most related an experience where their consciousness was out of their (at the moment) dead bodies and they were resuscitated to tell of their experience. An experience which allowed them to see, hear and experience emotion while out of their bodies. These persons all report that when this consciousness returned to their physical bodies they returned from the brink of death or were resuscitated. Raymond Moody Jr. MD, has written extensively about the interviews he has conducted with thousands of these NDE survivors.

​

Death then is not the end of one’s consciousness, just the end of the biological being, the body. A better term then would be TRANSITION. Death could be said to be the act that facilitates the transition of the consciousness out of a used vessel. This consciousness is what I call the Soul, that immortal essence, our true self that is freed from the used body. But what happens to the soul when it is freed from the used vessel? When my mother passed some years ago, I had to call my employer and let them know I would be taking some time from work. Without thinking I said “my mom has gone home and I will be away for another two weeks” The person said, do you mean she died? I said no, she went home.

​

Through the termination of our biological vessel our Soul is freed to return home, home from whence we came, and the cycle is repeated. Some years ago a scientist by the name of Ian P. Stevenson set out to prove that REINCARNATION was not real, well today he is cited as the leading proponent of reincarnation. Up to the 4th century AD, reincarnation was an integral part of Christianity, but due to the fear of politicians, efforts were made to sanitize the Bible of its teachings. That did not work so well because the belief was well entrenched, which led the Emperor in the 6th century to declare the teaching of reincarnation a heretic crime. Most religions throughout history at one point or another have embraced reincarnation, and many still do.

​

In Jamaica I have heard the older people say things like “Mr. Brown will be dying soon because he is travelling” I have also heard many stories of terminally ill persons talking to their loved ones who went ahead of them, I never paid much attention until I heard my mother who was terminally ill talking to her brother who had passed many years ago. I have since learned that this phenomenon is not unique to Jamaica but is common throughout the world. How could these persons be talking to a dead person? Are they hallucinating? No they are communicating with the Soul/consciousness of their loved ones who are still alive.

​

Death then is the freeing of one’s Soul so that it can return home. It is not to be feared, it does not take you to hell, it has no hold over your true essence, and it does not separate us from our loved ones. We are able to feel the presence of our loved ones, see them in dreams, and communicate with them while we mediate or are in a deep hypnotic trance.

As painful as it is to be separated, let us console ourselves with the knowledge that such separation is not permanent.

Through a specialised form of Hypnotherapy called Past Life Regression, we are able to review past lives which we have lived. No memory is ever erased or lost and through Regression we are gifted with the opportunity to see or re-experience past lives. The fact that this is possible confirms to me that what we deem to be death is but a transition, a means by which the eternal Soul sheds its earthly body and returns home.”
