My Regression

[tannemurr]

OK all.

dont get too excited. I wasnt Cleopatra or anything, and this particulr past life of mine was quite boring and ordinary, but, it does explain (I think) why I am the person I am now.

I was living in the midwest of USA in (I think ) the late 1800's

The technique used for this regression is a meditation where you visualise your body stretching and stretching until your in space. When you come back "to earth" your standing at the door to where you lived in your last life.

I was standing in front of a door to a log cabin out in the middle of nowhere. I looked down to see a flannel type shirt under a pair of over alls, big black hairy hands and a long black hairy beard (I"m a blonde female now)
I lived with my old mother was a total loner and never married or socialised with the other townsfolk
I can remember walking a dirt road through the main street of town and seeing a big banner advertising a fair.
Then when I was taken forward to my death, I was still living in the same place and I died TOTALLY alone in my bed.
I can remember looking down on my body and feeling a total sense of loneliness.

These days I have LOTS of friends and acquiantances and surround myself with them

[Ben]

Sorry Tannemurr can I just verify that in that regression you were a guy?

Ben

[Shyne]

Cool, tannemurr.
Thank you fior this thread!

It's possible, Ben. I had two regressions and I was a small boy in one life.
A refugee child who died in Warsaw during the Nazi occupation.

I investigated regression because I wanted to find the reason for an irrational terror of fire.
I was hypnotized, taken to a garden and looked into a mirror. I saw many lives reflected. Something inside of me chose the following.

I "flew" into the body of a young woman who was standing outside of a small stone and grass type house. I was surrounded by soldiers with spears and bows, there were bodies all around me. The house was on fire.
My baby was screaming inside and I struggled to get into the house but I was being held back by the soldiers.
I broke free and ran, a soldier killed me with a spear.

I floated skyward into a small, dark warm place.
It's interesting that I wasn't given the choice I had following the AD experience....perhaps because my body could no longer sustain life.

[Ben]

Fogive me but I'm wary of the processes involved in regression - I'm not knocking them, I'm just wary - in your case Shyne do you have a heritage that is Polish? I'm just curious as to why Warsaw?

Ben

[Shyne]

No....I'm Swedish American.
I have no Polish heritage at all.

I understand your wariness about the regression process.
I was the same and, even after going through it twice, I still question the legitimacy of the whole thing.
It's a dilemma, for sure.

I guess it all comes down to a leap of faith.
I believe in reincarnation....the whys are for another thread.....I believe our past experiences bring us to where we are.
Gotta love and hate that karma thing!

[tannemurr]

Hi Ben

Yes, I was a male in that life.

I was VERY sceptical, before I was regressed. I am not a very visual person at all, but the images coming to me were unbidden and very clear.

Actually, I should clarify. I wasnt sceptical about reincarnation. I totally believe in it. I was sceptical that the process would work for me.

Shyne, your regression sounds interesting

[Shyne]

tanne....I'm curious if your reservations about the regression process are the same as mine.

First, I didn't think I could be hypnotized (I was under in record time!).....did you use hypnotism?

Second, I thought there was no way conscious thoughts wouldn't influence the subconscious during the process.
My question was would I be really reliving a past life with no influences from this carnate intervening?

A fascinating subject.............I think, anyway.

[tannemurr]

Hi shyne


No, I wasnt hypnotized. It was like a meditation/visualization, called the "christy" method (or something similar)

The lady who regressed me was a good friend, and a psychic.

She was doing classes to teach awareness, meditation, flower readings, psychometry etc.

There were 5 of us in the group, and I was the last one regressed.

I DO remember being amazed that it worked for me (even if everyone else in the group had more "exciting" past lives)

[Liselle]

Oh wow I would just love to be regressed.

I think past life regression isn't something to be taken lightly. I have not been in a place in life where I was open to learning about past lives... I think it would make you question your current life too much, your partner and children etc. I think it may change the way you feel about them or something.

I think I am ready now though, I've been on a spiritual journey with abilities popping up and my mind is a lot more accepting of it all.

Plus I swear I was on the Titanic, but thats another story. I would love to have this verified...

[Shyne]

Hey, tanne........

LOL....I think of myself as kindof a control freak. There was no way I'd ever let go enough to be hypnotized....or so I thought.
As I said.....record time!
I know....I'd have loved to have had an exciting past life.
Maybe I, you, did......we've probably had many!

Hi Liselle.
It's nice to meet you!

It really is an interesting experience. And, I think you're right about needing to be in the right place in your life to go through it.
I don't think it made me question this life at all. I think I had questions about this life that, I hoped, regression would help answer......does that make sense?

[Liselle]

Hi Shyne - nice to meet you too

Yeh, what you say does make sense - there are many thoughts out there that so many of this life's unexblainable fears and issues stem from past life experience...

[Shyne]

I think that's many people's definition of Karma.

I like this Buddhist approach:

Thus, from a Buddhist point of view, our present mental, moral intellectual and temperamental differences are, for the most part, due to our own actions and tendencies, both past and present.

Last night, after a particularly stressful couple of weeks, I decided I was going to lie down and try and meditate. I have Attention Deficit Disorder and find it difficult to concentrate for very long - my mind wanders and I have very little control over making it stay put, so I wasn't too sure if I was even going to be able to relax. I'm a very nervy person - moreso lately because of the extra stress I've been under. I seem to always have my hands clenched tight, I even bite my tongue while I'm asleep, and I'm generally just a very tense person - sometimes I feel like I'm a coiled spring.

Well, I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling, and the light fitting. I just looked at the air really - you know you can see those swirling little thingies in the air when you're not really looking at anything? Well, gradually I relaxed to the point that the swirling air became foggy. I could still see the ceiling, and the light fitting, but the fog suddenly turned into a tree canopy, as though I were lying on the ground, looking up and seeing the leaves with the light from the sky peeping through them. It's strange, but I could see the light fitting and the ceiling at the same time - it was like one picture superimposed on another. Ben then talked to me, and I snapped out of it. I realised that for the first time in ages I was lying there totally relaxed, without my muscles or my fists clenched as I've been doing.

Anyway, I have no idea what the trees were about, but I had wondered before I laid down whether it is possible to meditate and 'leave' your body, or regress back to a past life. I wonder if these thoughts affected my subconsience and that was why I saw trees?

[minx]

thats a lovely discovery for you lucy. yes, this kind of thing has also happened to me, both when meditating, and doing relaxation. my take on it is that your mind is taking you to somewhere where you feel relaxed - its a healing place, a time-out from the stresses you live with. sometimes i wonder if this is the beginning of our minds going into dream state, but we find it so nice we stay there and just enjoy the moment. the first time this happened to me, i was purely doing physical relaxation, lying down, consciously relaxing my whole body from toe to top, concentrating on breathing deep from my stomach..and i heard water trickling, then i realised i was lying on grass near a stream, blue skies above me...it was beautiful. and i was still aware of noises in the house around me, and the fact that i was in my bedroom. like you say, superimposed.

[Lucy]

Do you think it's a real place that you've travelled to somehow, or is it all conjured in your mind?

[brenna]

My relaxing place is in a empty field. just listening to the birds and feeling the wind gently blow through the trees. it is calming me down just thinking about it. )

[minx]

i think - its an imaginary place, or possibly some real-life image we have seen either visited, or seen a photo of, or seen on the tv - which subconsciously we filed away as our personal haven of peacefulness. possibly, some people who have experienced regression may have a different view, but thats my feeling on it.

its a totally different feeling to when i was hypnotised, and "revisited" places and things i actually experienced as a child.

brenna - good for you honey, even at your age its important to be able to "chill" when needed, you've found how to do something that many adults take a while to perfect

that is so cool tanne!

i really hope i wasn't a boy in my past life.

[brenna]

i can never get these quote things right.

Hi Brenna



thanks.

I used to ride a Pegasus in my meditations. We'd cross a rainbow to a green field that had a natural rock pool. He would graze and I would relax
