PAST LIFE THERAPY
Deep Memory Process DMP can be used to explore present day issues and trauma (see regression page). DMP can also be used to explore client’s issues that do not seem to be connected to their present day life but stem from a previous Past Life story. Unlike other regression therapies DMP is not hypnosis and nor is it necessary to believe in past lives. Instead, all that is required is an open mind and the willingness to use metaphor as a way to bring unconscious processes to light.
Past Life Therapy differs from other “talking therapies” in that it focuses on physical sensations rather than clients thinking about their issues. DMP uses psychodrama to enable clients to release the “unfinished business” that they may be carrying in their body. For this reason clients are invited to work on a mattress on the floor to enable freedom of movement.
Example case:
Jane had chronic lower back pain that she described in the Past Life regression sessions “I feel as if I have been stabbed in my back with two knives repeatedly and the physical pain takes my breath away”.
During the sessions Jane remembered a Past Life story of being a French medieval soldier on the losing side of a battle, fighting to stay alive while being attacked by the enemy. He was in close hand to hand combat. Whilst focusing on the attackers at the front he suddenly felt himself stabbed in the back and in shock he moved backwards. He was stabbed again and dropped to the ground.
Exploring the life and the death of the man brought healing and release for Jane. Several weeks after her final session Jane reported that to her amazement her lower back pain had gone.
Typical Past Life Session
· Talk about the issues that have brought you for a session
· Explore in some depth where in your body you may feel any sensations, tightness or pain and any metaphors that occur to these.
· Follow and explore any thoughts, emotions, physical sensations including spiritual connections in the past life story.
· Uncover the Past Life story behind the issues that you present.
· Cathartic release may take place which will bring release and healing of the ‘frozen’ memories such as the emotions, thoughts, sensations or pain that has been held in the ‘past life’ body.
· Explore any “unfinished business” in the past life and bring healing.
· Uncover the influences from the ‘past life story’ on your life today.
· Throughout this process you remain completely conscious and aware of your surroundings as it is not hypnosis.
Dance, when you’re broken open.
Dance, if you’ve torn the bandages off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you’re perfectly free.
