Regression
Past Life Regression is a technique that uses hypnosis to recover
what most practitioners believe are memories of past lives or
incarnations. Past life regression is typically undertaken either
in pursuit of a spiritual experience, or in a therapeutic setting.
The memories can be explained scientifically without reference
to past lives or reincarnation through a combination of confabulation,
true memories, imagination and suggestion from the hypnotist.
Therapists using past life regression claim that a lack of proof
for the validity of past lives does not prevent the technique
having therapeutic value and helping patients.
Most advocates loosely adhere to beliefs about reincarnation,
though religious traditions that incorporate reincarnation
into their beliefs generally do not include the idea of repressed
memories of past lives.
