Q: Do previous lives influence our current life?

     Most definitely they do, although most of you don’t realize it. Your likes and dislikes in this life are influenced by previous lives. Your personality has been deeply affected and built upon previous incarnations. Other areas that your past lives can tremendously influence include: physical health, appearance, race, creed, religion, value systems, wealth, habits, aesthetic talents of any kind, sex  and I could go on and on, but I think you get the general idea. Everything in your current life is affected by your past lives.

     In many cases, negativity on the Earth plane is perpetuated by the influence of past lives. Bigotry and racial hatred are prime examples. Almost everyone at one time or another has experienced such prejudices – with some of you even functioning as both victim and offender.

     Take a look at your life and analyze it as an incarnate. You can discover how many of your interests, habits, likes and dislikes could be the direct result of a past life. Is your house furnished in a particular décor? Do you like certain foods more than others? Do you vacation in a certain place all of the time? Are you uncomfortable with a certain ethnic group? You may be surprised to learn how much influence the past can have on your life.

Q: Is there any real benefit to remembering past lives?

     For the majority of you, I would say yes. The main benefit is therapeutic in nature, but unfortunately, most therapists who practice today don’t incorporate the premise of reincarnation in their methodology. Consequently, they bypass one of the primary healing modes – to relieve both physical and mental problems – for individuals: past-life therapy.

     Past life therapy, through the use of hypnotic regression, has garnered some astounding results from those who utilize it. Most phobias that have no reason to exist or can’t be traced to an incident in someone’s current life are usually the result of a past-life experience. In fact, many traumatic incidents that a person has gone through in previous lives can be triggered by similar circumstances in their current life. Many illnesses, which doctors term “psychosomatic,” are often “carried over” from past incarnations.

  For example, at a certain age, a famous actor started experiencing acute pain in the solar plexus region of his body. After seeing numerous doctors, none of them could find a reason for the pain, so he consulted a psychic. The psychic determined that this actor had been “run through” with a sword in that particular area of his body during a past life. Once he discovered this, the actor no longer experienced any pain. This is a key example of how a “carry-over” from your past life can affect you.

     To develop your recollection of past lives, hypnosis is considered the safest and most valid method. Sylvia’s church has many professional hypnotists who conduct past-life regressions. Almost everyone who undergoes a past-life regression feels better mentally and physically afterward, but if you take part in this process, be prepared for an emotional release. Some of the issues you can resolve from this method are: psychosomatic ills, phobias, habits, and a misguided life purpose, questions about your themes, relationship troubles and many more. The benefits are many…

FAQ Hypnosis

Q. What is hypnosis?

     Simply, hypnosis is a state of relaxation, not a state of sleep or unconsciousness. When you are in a relaxed state you are able to focus within, where all your records of this life and past lives are stored, a data base if you will, so you can access all information needed. While in this relaxed state of peaked awareness you are in full control of yourself at all times. Your morals or ethics can never be compromised.

Q. Can anyone be hypnotized?

     Yes! We go in and out of hypnosis daily. It might be called daydreaming, that relaxed state right before sleep, right before waking up, athlete’s high, reading, watching television, playing video games or driving on the freeway and not realizing how far you’ve gone, those are all natural states of hypnosis. Anytime you move from an outward perception to an inner awareness you enter a state of hypnosis. Hypnosis puts you in charge of your natural ability to go “within.”

Q. What does hypnosis feel like?

     Hypnosis feels familiar! The by-product of all hypnosis is relaxation where muscles, nerves and the mind relax. Some describe it as feeling passive, or mellow, others feel as if they are filled with light or surprised by new perception: “I understood things I never could before.” When in hypnosis there is often a distinct experience of automatic, spontaneous thought or action as compared to the feeling you get with conscious choice. Returning to full consciousness (room awareness) makes you feel at peace with everything.  Hypnosis is a common and varied experience. Each hypnotic experience may be different from what you expect or from the last one you experienced. This makes sense considering you aren’t in the same frame of mind all the time. Your friend’s experience may be different from yours. Hypnosis is personal; it’s like your fingerprint, unique to you. Hypnosis looks different than it feels. From an observing position, you may look like you are asleep or unconscious. In actuality, the person in a state of hypnosis is keenly aware of everything going on around them, (in the super conscious state.) It’s unlikely you will “feel” anything except a sense of relaxation. This keen focus may leave you feeling like you didn’t do anything particularly unusual, because we are in this state daily and it’s so familiar.

Q. Why do some people have doubts about Hypnosis?

How do you know when you are hypnotized? Often times you don’t as we are hypnotized daily, and it feels so familiar.  Sometimes people think they haven’t been hypnotized after their session because they didn’t feel different. Once you experience a session allow the experience to settle in. Your soul knows the information you received in your session is valid. Stage hypnosis often misrepresents hypnosis. No one can control you, especially in that super conscious state! Some doubt the value of hypnosis because they themselves have not experienced its benefits. Some fear the unknown, others are afraid of being vulnerable or that they will be controlled or lose control and look foolish or tell deep dark secrets.

While in a hypnotic state your inner wisdom helps you to access all of your records of this life and all past lives. You have more control of yourself then in a conscious state. You will not “reveal” anything you don’t want to reveal.

Q. Can Hypnosis be dangerous?

Hypnosis is as safe as sleeping. Practiced by you or a qualified hypnotist, hypnosis is safe and empowering. We have been “hypnotized” by parents, teachers, mates or our own self-talk to believe “you” are less than, incompetent or a failure, that is harmful to you.

Self-hypnosis and/or a past life regression session allows you to decide which suggestions to embrace or discard. It puts you in the driver’s seat of your behaviors and emotions. The awareness of a person in hypnosis is heightened not lessened. It helps you to release negative cell memory and bring forward positive cell memory!

Remember: Being in a meditative state, daydreaming or hypnosis is neither good nor bad – it is up to YOU to make a commitment for a successful session. Having a session won’t necessarily change your life without any effort on your part. Our ultimate goal is for you to be empowered to live the life you want in the best way you can.
