Clearing and Healing Past Life Trauma
By David Quigley
One of the most impactful technologies of Alchemical Past Life Regression (PLR) is working with and clearing traumatic memories from past lives.
We use this method to discover the source of an emotional or physical problem in the subconscious mind. Or we can look at the source of a core belief in the client’s subconscious mind, which is limiting their success in life. Some examples could include a phobic reaction such as a fear of entering the water, not explained by any present life experience, a pain or disease which a client was born with, or a limiting core belief like, "Anyone I love will always abandon me."
The procedure for accessing these memories is simple, and is often quite effective whether or not the client believes in past lives. We simply use a standard induction technique combined with instructions that the subconscious mind will now take us to the source of the client’s presenting problem. We use this somewhat open-ended language because the source of the client's problem could just as easily be in the present life, and we cannot afford to be leading the client on a wild goose chase into previous incarnations.

The hard part, which requires substantial training, is knowing what to do when past life memories emerge.
An example is a client whose life-long fear of water has kept her from swimming. The instructions were simple: "Let's go into hypnosis now, back to the time when you first became afraid of the water". While many clients will return to terrifying experiences from their current childhood, many others will, without any previous discussion of past lives, go back to a past life memory. Frequently, the incident ended in death. If so, we simply review the circumstances of that death, the meaning that death had for the client, and what decision was made by the client after death and carried from then on.
To continue the water phobia example:
The client goes back to a recent past life where she drowned in a fast-flowing river and lost her two young children when her boat capsized. After feeling the terrible pain of this loss (not only of her own life, but her children's!), we move forward to her death and the decision she made at the time. "I'll never go in the water again!"
We then have the opportunity to "solve" the situation using one or more of the following techniques:

We then have the opportunity to "solve" the situation using one or more of the following techniques:
- With the hypnotherapist's help, she can convince her past life personality (PLP) that this decision is no longer necessary and help her PLP to change it. (She may simply vow never to travel on big, dangerous rivers again in a small boat.)
- We need, in some cases, to allow the client to express their grief, anger, and or remorse to significant others and allow the others to respond. ("I'm sorry I took this boat and drowned you my darling children! Sob. Can you forgive me? … Pause …Yes, they forgive me. I feel such a burden lifted!")
In some cases, we can rescue the past life personality and bring this person forward to the present life.
My favorite example is a client who was blocked by a deep but persistent fear of building a practice as a hypnotherapist. In going back to where she discovered that it was dangerous to be a healer, she returned to an extremely painful experience of being burned as a witch. First, we examined her post-death decision, "I'll never heal anyone again!" Her past life self was at first unwilling to change the decision. After all, she had once been a beloved healer in her community before it turned against her under the influence of the Inquisition. Only when we told her about California's totally accepting culture and invited her former self to join my client in a safe new life as a hypnotherapist in California, did she brighten up. At last, she was ready to step up to the 21st century, bringing with her those healing abilities from her past. Within three months, she had set up a highly successful hypnosis clinic.
Within these deceptively simple procedures lie a nearly endless collection of possibilities. The easiest way for the PLR therapist to sort through these choices is simply to ask the client, "What would you like to do with this memory? How can we change this decision, or this experience, that will feel right to you?"
Until recently, most PLR therapists had no training in altering the core decisions the client made in a past life or in changing the memories from past lives. This is why many of my clients have said to me that they’ve seen a particular memory in a previous PLR session with someone else, but it didn’t solve their problem. Now, after experiencing these methods applied to their memory, their problem is solved. If you plan to see a PLR therapist, make sure they have training in the Alchemical Hypnotherapy Past Life Regression techniques.
