Saints
and sages throughout the ages have told us that we are more than our
bodies. We are also far more than our thoughts about ourselves. Who we
truly are surpasses and transcends any limitation we could ever
conceive of placing on ourselves. Many people who have had out-of-body
or near death experiences have had direct evidence of this concept.
Then where do our problems and complexes come in? Actually, they came
in long ago. Regression therapy is based on the premise that beneath
problems lie self-limiting or even self-destructive thoughts. We are
aware of some of these thoughts, while others remain at the
subconscious level. All of our self-limiting thoughts began somewhere
in this life or another, sometimes from harmful past events and
sometimes from seemingly benign, mundane events. Past events no longer
exist, but we keep them alive by continuing to carry the dense, heavy
energy of these events within us in the form of thoughts and feelings,
specifically in the form of fears or limiting messages about ourselves
and/or the world. These types of thoughts especially underlie
depression, anxiety and fear. However, when closely examined, they turn
out to be a gross misperception. Most of the self-defeating messages
that we took in have nothing to do with us, but were given to us by
people who were responding from their own hurt and feelings of
incompleteness. Emotional hurt is passed down through the generations
and is kept alive until we release it and/or stop the cycle.
Regression
therapy, when properly done, taps into the very wise and adept part of
ourselves beneath the conscious level. It is always astounding the
first time we experience our higher mind in action as it brings us
precisely to when and where the root of our troubles began. The
regression process then neutralizes the originating cause of any
self-limiting hurt or belief by doing two things: (1) Giving us the
insight that any hurt we received had very little, if nothing to do
with us but rather had to do with the abuser's own fears and feelings
of lack of power, strength and control, due to their own previously
programmed subconscious mind and the pain they were carrying; (2)
Replacing the feelings of lack or hurt with opposite feelings such as
confidence and strength, thus allowing the client to reprogram his or
her own subconscious mind with a thoroughly empowering experience and
thoughts of complete wholeness. Positive changes occur as one releases
dense, fear-based thought form energy and replaces it with the lighter
vibration energy of empowering attributes already latent within the
individual. This process paves the way for forgiveness of self and
others, which is a key ingredient for self-healing.
We
are beings of energy, and thoughts and feelings are forms of energy
that can serve to either strengthen us, or weaken and block us. Thus,
through regression therapy, energy can be unblocked and released
permanently if we don't consciously revert back to the same habitual
self-defeating thought patterns. The process can be life transforming
as we begin to let go of our fears and self-imposed limits and focus on
our strengths and passions. Science has now proven that as we change
our thoughts, our bio-chemistry changes. Before that, the Buddha
exclaimed, "We are what we think. All that we are arises from our
thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world." Regression therapy is a
tool that can help us become aware of and change the thoughts that
create our self and world view, as well as pointing to when and where
they began. From my experience as both a client and therapist, it can
be a rapid and powerful means to reclaim our true selves, realize our
true potential and begin to create what we choose for ourselves in our
life.
