The term “Past Life,” which means “पूर्वजन्म” in Nepali, appears to have different meanings in Nepali and English. In Nepali, “पूर्वजन्म” refers to a previous life, not the present one. However, in English, the word “past” refers to all the time that has passed before today. All the time that has already passed can be understood as the past.

Regression means the process of going back. The process of going back to a time that has already passed is understood as Past Life Regression. The process of going backward through our age to explore what we experienced in earlier times and attempting to resolve the problems associated with those experiences can be understood as Past Life Regression.

Why Do Past Life Regression?

The first reason is curiosity. Some people undergo Past Life Regression simply to understand what they were in a previous life, what kind of karma they had, and what work they used to do.

Another major reason is to seek solutions to problems. Sometimes, we experience problems in our lives that we cannot resolve despite making numerous efforts. In other cases, we may not even be able to identify the cause of the problem. This therapy is also used to explore why such problems are occurring.

If a person has undergone various physical and psychological treatments but no cause has been identified, the problem persists despite the absence of an apparent physical cause, and no relevant events have been identified in their present life that might explain the problem, Past Life Regression Therapy may be considered beneficial.

In this method, an attempt is made to identify the causes of these problems and find solutions.

For example, a person may experience pain in a particular part of the head or chest. Even after undergoing all the necessary physical examinations, no cause is found. The person appears physically healthy, all medical reports are normal, but the problem has still not improved. If there are also no events in the person's life that could explain the problem, they may consider this therapy.

During our therapeutic practice, we have found that many problems originating from previous lives are associated with the pain experienced at the time of death in those lives and that this pain carries over into the present life.

For example, if someone experiences a severe headache or intense pain in a particular part of the body without any identifiable cause, the person is taken back to a previous life during therapy, and an attempt is made to discover the type of pain they experienced when they died.

That pain may be physical or psychological. After identifying the pain and exploring the circumstances surrounding the person's death, we have found, in many cases, experiences in which the person reportedly died while experiencing pain in the same part of the head or body where the current problem is occurring.

The person is guided to experience the circumstances surrounding their death. Through therapy, the pain they reportedly experienced at the moment of death in a previous life is brought into their awareness in the present body. During the therapeutic process, that pain, which is understood in this approach as a form of energy, is released from the body. Once this pain is removed during therapy, it is believed that it will leave the person's present body, mind, and brain permanently.

This therapy is considered equally beneficial for emotional and psychological pain, not just physical pain. The pain may be psychological rather than physical.

For example, a 21-year-old man had been hospitalized for three months because he continuously experienced pain in one part of his body. Despite receiving various treatments, his problem had not been resolved, so he came to us.

When he was taken back to a previous life during therapy, he reportedly discovered that he had suffered an injury to that same part of his abdomen in his previous life and had died as a result of that injury. Because he had reportedly died while experiencing the pain caused by that injury, he continued to experience that pain in his present life. After the pain was released during therapy, the problem was resolved.

Similarly, there was a 16-year-old girl who constantly wanted to die and frequently experienced thoughts of death. Wanting to die is not a trivial matter; it can indicate a serious mental health crisis.

Until the age of 16, the girl had not experienced any significant suffering or distress in her life. We also spoke with her mother to explore whether the problem might have originated during pregnancy. This is because, when a mother experiences stress during pregnancy for any reason, there is a possibility that the developing baby may also be affected by the mother's stress. However, the mother reported that she had not experienced such stress.

During therapy, the girl was taken back to a previous life, where she was guided to experience the pain she had reportedly experienced at the moment of death in that life. The pain was then released from her present body. Afterward, her desire to die and her thoughts of death reportedly stopped occurring.

How Does a Previous Life Appear?

To experience what is described as a previous life, the person undergoing therapy is first guided into a deeply relaxed mental state, or a deep state of the subconscious mind. In simpler Nepali terms, this can be described as a trance-like state.

After that, the person is guided to experience visual scenes.

To understand this process, consider dreaming. There may be various reasons why we dream, but a dream itself consists of scenes or experiences. When we sleep, our mind opens what may be described as an inner eye. Whether we call it the divine eye, the mind's eye, or the brain's eye, regardless of the term we use, scenes can appear in our minds while we are asleep, and we understand these experiences as dreams.

If the scenes experienced during sleep are called dreams, then this therapy attempts to open that same inner eye, mind's eye, or divine vision while the person is in a relaxed state.

Once the person begins to experience these scenes, it becomes easier, according to this approach, to guide them toward what is described as a previous life.

There are three ways in which a person may experience a previous life: visual, auditory (sound), and kinesthetic. This is said to depend on the person's personality and the way they process experiences.

People with a visual personality tend to experience visual scenes, whereas people with an auditory personality may not see visual scenes but instead hear sounds.

When entering what is described as a previous life, a person may hear different sounds. People with a kinesthetic personality tend to experience physical sensations and feelings. For example, they may feel that someone is chasing them, that they are struggling, that someone is cutting them with a sharp weapon, that their blood is flowing, or that they are experiencing pain.

Some people may primarily experience one type of perception, while others may experience all these types. Some may hear sounds, see visual scenes, and experience physical sensations simultaneously.

According to this therapeutic approach, the possibility of finding a resolution remains the same regardless of how a person experiences what is described as a previous life.
