Regression, although useful and helpful to the body and emotions, is understood to work primarily with the mind and psyche. Contrary to the beliefs of many people, the regression state does not need to be induced by hypnosis. It is achieved by entering a state of deep relaxation. I always feel good about offering regression in this way without hypnosis, because individuals stay conscious of everything that is happening both in past regression time and in present time, and they make their own conscious choices throughout the session by following their own feelings. The technique I developed is simple and will be introduced in a forthcoming book so that everyone can integrate it into their own self-healing session when needed.
Some professionals are now offering regression as a therapy. This is preferable to those who offer it simply as a straightforward experience. For instance, if you find yourself going back to a childhood experience where you were unhappy, lonely or unloved, you need to do more than simply view, feel and accept the situation. A regression therapist who uses regression as a healing modality will help you understand that this is your reality and in this moment you can choose to make happen whatever you feel. The idea then is not to think, but to feel what you really want to happen or to do in that moment. You might feel like walking away from events, or being hugged, or saying what you really feel, even confronting those around you. Then you get to act out the past experience in a positive and healing way. This is a lifeline for those who have been abused in childhood particularly because it gives back to the child the power that was taken from him or her in the past situation. It also gives the power to confront the past abuse in a safe, positive and empowered way. The next step is that you take time to feel the good, positive feelings of control and relief you receive by your actions. You feel good then, and stay with these feelings for a few minutes, breathing them deeply throughout your body. By going through this process you have literally changed the past and healed that part of you that was scared and brutalized. This will clear many negative thoughts and behavioral patterns that you have been experiencing in the "here and now" stemming from the past.
Regression and rebirthing are both powerful tools to work with for deep release issues. The great news is that whatever you have suffered and endured in the past, you do not need to be stuck with the pain and negative patterns and blocks. There is much you can do alone and much you can do with help.
Letting go happens on many levels in many ways. We each have our own paths and our own needs. Strong emotions, even hate, can be cleared and let go of in your life. Perhaps hate has been or is a consuming part of your existence. You will have your own reasons and have made your choice to hate at some point whether you realize this or not. When you feel tired of this emotion or drained by it, know that you can let it go just like all other emotions. As you move forward with your life, you will find that it becomes easier to have perspective on why you chose to experience what might seem to others or even to yourself later such an extreme emotion.
