Welcome to my site on past lives

Welcome to my site on past lives, past life regression and reincarnation.

I created this site to share my ability to access past lives. I have been reading past lives professionally for 16 years and work with people who are interested in the idea of reincarnation, and who want to look at their past to gain more insight into their present experiences. Many people have found that knowledge of their past lives is healing. It can provide insight, increased awareness, and a deeper understanding of the nature of Self.

With this site I give my personal view on my past life reading process and information on past life regression. I also give an overview of my theory of reincarnation (and historical reference pointing to the reason it was dropped from the Bible) and how past karma influences our present lives. I have included, as well, a few case examples of readings and some letters from clients whose past lives I have read.

Since another thing I do in this life is draw and paint, I've included my artwork throughout the site. You can click on the paintings for a larger view.

Thanks for visiting,

‘Mypastlife’ – is a beautiful Past Life Regressio

‘Mypastlife’ – is a beautiful Past Life Regression program designed to give you an exciting and revealing Past Life experience, in your own home.        

You receive TWO recordings  – one beginner & one advanced – of me, Andrew Parr – Professional Regression Therapist – which then guide you every step of the way into an absolutely genuine Past Life Adventure – exactly as if you were sat here in my office.        

Author Dorothy Davies was one of the very first people to use it, and it helped her undo the writers block she was having with one of her novels. She discovered that the character she was writing about was HER in a ‘previous’ life… in her own words…        

“Andrew, tried the regression last night, first amazing result… I was moved to a momentous occasion… and suddenly everything fell into place” – Dorothy Davies  

Many others have also already used it again and again, and enjoyed the benefits…        

“Dear Andrew,   

I am enjoying My Past Life very much, Andrew. Thank you for giving me the chance to have this. So far, I have been able to tap into three past lives by using your program. It was able to bring much insight into my life. It’s been able to answer some of my questions and some of the mystery of my past lives.” – Hunter Smith   

 I actually tested it out first of all on my sister-in-law, Mel, and when I asked her to give me a report, she wrote …        

“Dear Andrew, just wanted to say a big thank you for the Past Life Regression Download. I’ve used it five times so far and here’s what happened…”

Past Life Regression – Past Lives

Unlock the Secrets of Your Hidden Past Lives…

“A fascinating experience – highly recommended” (Averyka)  

“Andrew, tried the regression last night, first amazing result…” (Dorothy Davies)  

Dear Visitor, 

If you are interested in finding out who you were in your Past Lives, here is an excellent, relaxing and affordable way to do just that…

My name is Andrew Parr, I’ve worked as a hypnotherapist for over 18 years and have carried out over 11,000 hypnosis regression sessions, usually with quite with amazing, life-changing results…       

 I’d very much like to help you personally find out who you may have been in your past lives and how you can use that information effectively to make the changes you desire in this life.    

I could fill pages and pages with the stories I’ve come across – but the beautiful thing is how the re-living of each of these events or experiences somehow liberates the person going through it.        

My own first Past Life regression helped me stop trying to be too ‘good’ to my friends and family – and just relax. So simple but profoundly liberating for me at the time.        

Another one really helped me let go of ‘struggle’ and ‘battling’ …        

So for me, it wasn’t just about finding out who I was in a Past Life – is was about how that could actually make a difference nowadays too.        

Lots of people are looking for answers to personal mysteries, or to set themselves free from limiting feelings, thoughts or behaviours.          

But how about YOU? Why are YOU interested in Past life Regression?

Is it simple curiosity?        

Or are you looking for something more deep and meaningful?        

Here are some examples of  the general benefits people describe when they have a meaningful Past Life Regression, which you may experience too when you unlock the secrets of your own Past Lives:        

* Freedom to create more love, happiness and fulfillment in your day to day lives as you remember your true value as a unique individual.        

* Freedom to experience better health and resolution of old issues, as you feel more confident, more relaxed and more at peace with yourself.        

* Ability to create more wealth, money and financial security as you allow yourself to have  – and keep – more of what you want or desire.        

* A greater sense of ‘control’ over your life, your body and your destiny, as you finally begin to remember that YOU create your own reality absolutely…        

… and so much more, of course, depending upon who you are, where you are at and what you really want …        

As a hypnotherapist there is only so much time I can actually give to private consultations, especially as I run a busy practice helping people with all sorts of ‘this life’ issues too, so I decided to create a Past Life Regression program that you could use yourself – at home - wherever you are in the world.        

Experimental studies

Experimental studies

A 1976 study found that 40% of hypnotizable subjects described new identities and used different names when given a suggestion to regress past their birth.^[4] In the 1990s a series of experiments undertaken by Nicholas Spanos examined the nature of past life memories. Descriptions of alleged past lives were found to be extremely elaborate, with vivid, detailed descriptions. Subjects who reported memories of past lives exhibited high hypnotizability, and patients demonstrated that it was the expectations conveyed by the experimenter that were that was most important in determining the characteristics reported by the patients during their 'memories'. The degree to which the memories were considered credible by the experimental subjects was correlated most significantly to the subjects' beliefs about reincarnation and their expectation to remember a past life rather than hypnotizability. Spanos' research leads him to the conclusion that past lives are not memories, but actually social constructions based on patients acting "as if" they were someone else, but with significant flaws that would not be expected of actual memories. To create these memories, Spanos' subjects drew upon the expectations established by authority figures and information outside of the experiment such as television, novels, life experiences and their own desires.^[4]

Technique

Technique

In the West, past-life regression practitioners use hypnosis and suggestion to promote recall in their patients, using a series of questions designed to elicit statements and memories about the past life's history and identity.^[3] Some practitioners also use bridging techniques from a client’s current-life problem to bring "past-life stories" to conscious awareness.^[11] Practitioners believe that unresolved issues from alleged past lives may be the cause of their patients' problems,^[12] The technique is not taught as part of any medical internships.^[1] Luis Cordón states that this can be problematic as it creates delusions under the guise of therapy. Memories can vary from harmless to actually increasing suffering in the patient or their families. The memories are experienced as vivid as those based on events experienced in one's life, impossible to differentiate from true memories of actual events, and accordingly any damage can be difficult to undo.^[2]

Chinese numerologists use the Buddhist/Taoist text the Three Lives Book to describe details of past lives.^[13] Teachers of Eastern religion claim to be able to use siddhi or abhijna abilities to regress other's lives.^[14]

[edit]Sources of memories

Scientific consensus is that the memories are the result of cryptomnesia, narratives created by the subconscious mind using imagination, forgotten information and suggestions from the therapist.^{[1][2][3][15][16][17][18]} Memories created under hypnosis are indistinguishable from actual memories and can be more vivid than factual memories.^[2][19] The greatest predictor of individuals reporting memories of past lives appears to be their beliefs about the existence in reincarnation - individuals who believe in reincarnation are more likely to report such memories, while sceptics or disbelievers are less so.^[1][5]

Examinations of three cases of apparent past life regression (Bridey Murphy, Jane Evans and an unnamed English woman) revealed memories that were superficially convincing. However, investigation by experts in the languages used and historical periods described revealed flaws in all three patients' recall. The evidence included speech patterns that were "...used by movie makers and writers to convey the flavour of 16th century English speech" rather than actual Renaissance English, a date that was inaccurate but was the same as a recognized printing error in historical pamphlets, and a subject that reported historically accurate information from the Roman era that was identical to information found in a 1947 novel set in the same time as the individual's memories, with the same name reported by the person regressed. Other details cited are common knowledge and not evidence of the factual nature of the memories; subjects asked to provide historical information that would allow checking provided only vague responses that did not allow for verification, and sometimes were unable to provide critical details that would have been common knowledge (e.g. a subject who was unable to provide the name of the Emperor of Japan during the 1940s despite describing a life of a Japanese fighter pilot during World War II).^[4]

Mythology

Mythology

Past life regression is mentioned in the Upanishads of ancient India,^[6] but is discussed in greater detail in the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali. Writing during the second century BCE, the Hindu scholarPatañjali discussed the soul being burdened with an accumulation of impressions that were part of the karma from previous lives.^[7] Patañjali called the process of past life regression, prati-prasav(literally "reverse birthing"), and involved addressing current problems through memories of past lives. Prati-prasav is used today as a practice in some types of yoga.^[8][9] In the religious mythology ofChina, souls are prevented from remembering their past lives by the deity Meng Po, also known as the "Lady of Forgetfullness", who gives them a bittersweet drink that erases all memories before they climb the wheel of reincarnation.^[10]

[edit]Modern era

In the modern era, it was the works of Madame Blavatsky, co-founder of the Theosophical Society, which brought it a new found popularity, especially in the West. French educator Allan Kardec also delved into past life regression in The Spirits Book and Heaven and Hell. Past life regression therapy has been developed since the 1950s by psychologists, psychiatrists and mediums. The belief gained credibility because some of the advocates possess legitimate credentials, though these credentials were in areas unrelated to religion, psychotherapy or other domains dealing with past lives and mental health. Interest in the phenomenon started due to American housewife Virginia Tighe reporting and recounting the alleged memories of a 19th-century Irish woman named Bridey Murphy; later investigation failed to support the existence of such a woman and the memories were attributed to Tighe's childhood during which she spent time living next to an Irish immigrant.^[1]

Past life regression

Past life regression is a technique that uses hypnosis to recover what practitioners believe are memories of past lives or incarnations, though others regard them as fantasies or delusions. Past life regression is typically undertaken either in pursuit of a spiritual experience, or in a psychotherapeutic setting. Most advocates loosely adhere to beliefs about reincarnation,^[1] though religious traditions that incorporate reincarnation generally do not include the idea of repressed memories of past lives.^[2]

The technique used during past life regression involves the subject answering a series of questions while hypnotized to reveal identity and events of alleged past lives, a method similar to that used inrecovered memory therapy and one that similarly misrepresents memory as a faithful recording of previous events rather than a constructed set of recollections. The use of hypnosis and suggestive questions makes the subject particularly likely to hold distorted or false memories.^[3] The source of the memories is more likely cryptomnesia and confabulations that combine past experiences, knowledge, imagination and suggestion or guidance from the hypnotist than recall of a previous existence. Once created, the memories are indistinguishable from memories based on events that occurred during the subject's life.^[1][2] Memories reported during past life regression have been investigated, and revealed historical inaccuracies that are easily explained through a basic knowledge of history, elements of popular culture or books that discuss historical events. Experiments with subjects undergoing past life regression indicate that a belief in reincarnation and suggestions by the hypnotist are the two most important factors regarding the contents of memories reported.^[4][1][5]
