Using hypnotherapy we can explore the controversial issue of past life therapy. This is yet another tool which can enable the therapist to gain answers to questions arising from issues and themes from people in this life time.

Under hypnosis it is possible to identify a disturbing event that occurred not in this life and work with that individual to resolve the issue.
This is a really exciting therapy which I am sure as you may or may not agree with depending on your views or what you are comfortable with can certainly have a profound effect on someone’s present life. After all to help and improve someone’s quality of life is what all practitioners of conventional and complementary medicine are trying to achieve.

If you imagine sitting in a chair or lying on a bed in a comfortable, symmetrical manner with your eyes closed, you will already have a picture of what someone practising an AT exercise looks like.

In simple terms past life regression is just remembering. Stored in your subconscious mind are all the memories of all of your experiences, what it is like to be a small child or baby, what its like to be born. Regression is reaching into these memories to enable you to recapture the events of the past, not only this lifetime but also the memories of previous lifetimes.

By practising Hypnosis daily before the birth, you are effectively "rehearsing" or "experiencing" your perfect birth over and over again in your mnd, so that when the actual birth begins, your mind, so that when the actual birth begins, your body responds in the way you have rehearsed it (similar to techniques used by top athletes) and as nature intended. In addiction you are conditioning your body to be relaxed and calm no matter what is going on around you.
Therefore, your response during the birth is to remain relaxed, involved and in control,being conversant and aware of the experience.

This calm state increases your natural pain killers (endorphins) and your blood flow, make contractions more effective and so often reduces the need for intervention and the length of labour.
