Chapter 1

Unlocking the Healing Power of Past Lives

Have you ever experienced an inexplicable fear, a chronic pain that defies medical explanation, or an instant connection with someone you've just met? What if these mysteries could be solved by looking not just at your current life, but at the many lives your soul has lived before? In "Through Time Into Healing," psychiatrist Dr. Brian L. Weiss-a Yale-educated physician who once scoffed at concepts like reincarnation-reveals how past life regression therapy transformed his medical practice and worldview. Since its publication, this groundbreaking work has influenced millions, including celebrities like Oprah Winfrey who featured Weiss on her show multiple times. The book's impact extends beyond self-help circles into mainstream psychology, where an increasing number of therapists now incorporate regression techniques into their practice. What began as Weiss's reluctant journey from skeptic to believer has evolved into a movement that continues to bridge the gap between traditional medicine and spiritual healing.

Chapter 2

From Skeptic to Pioneer: Dr. Weiss's Transformational Journey

As a conventionally trained psychiatrist with impressive credentials from Columbia University and Yale Medical School, I approached my profession with scientific rigor. My background included publishing over forty scientific papers and maintaining a healthy skepticism toward "unscientific" fields like parapsychology. This worldview was completely upended when I began working with a patient named Catherine. Catherine came to me with severe phobias, panic attacks, and depression that hadn't improved after a year of traditional therapy. When I suggested hypnosis to uncover childhood traumas, something extraordinary happened. After instructing her to "go back to the time from which your symptoms arise," Catherine described living 4,000 years ago with a completely different face, body, and name. She recalled detailed memories until drowning in a flood, then described floating above her body-what researchers now recognize as near-death experiences. As our sessions continued, Catherine remembered other lifetimes as a Spanish prostitute and a Greek woman. Her previously intractable symptoms began improving dramatically. My skepticism started eroding as her condition was cured without medication. Then something even more astonishing occurred: Catherine began channeling information from "Master Spirits," revealing details about my family she couldn't possibly know-my father Avrom's Hebrew name, my infant son's rare heart defect, and that my daughter was named after my father. This unsophisticated laboratory technician had become a conduit for transcendental knowledge, transforming my understanding of psychotherapy and revealing a more direct method of treating psychiatric symptoms. I found myself at a crossroads, forced to reconsider everything I thought I knew about the human mind, consciousness, and healing. After publishing my findings in "Many Lives, Many Masters," I braced for professional backlash that never materialized. Instead, I received supportive letters from colleagues who'd had similar experiences but feared going public. This taught me a powerful lesson about taking risks to share healing knowledge, even when it challenges established paradigms.

Chapter 3

Understanding Hypnosis and Regression Therapy

Hypnosis, my primary technique for accessing past life memories, isn't mysterious at all. It's simply a state of focused concentration we experience daily when absorbed in books or driving on autopilot. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis-the therapist merely guides while you control the process. The goal is accessing the subconscious mind, which functions deeper than ordinary awareness and isn't limited by logic, space, or time. When hypnotized, you're not asleep-your conscious mind remains aware and can comment, criticize, and censor. You maintain complete control of what you say. Some people watch past events like movies, others feel emotionally involved, and some primarily hear or smell things. Everyone remembers their experience afterward. Regression therapy involves going back to earlier times to retrieve memories still negatively influencing present life. For about 40% of my patients, regression to previous lifetimes is key to healing symptoms that originated in past lives. This approach dramatically accelerates healing compared to conventional therapy that's limited to exploring only the current lifetime. Past life memories emerge in two patterns: the classical pattern, where patients experience complete lifetimes from birth to death with rich detail, and the key moment flow pattern, which connects important moments across multiple lifetimes to quickly illuminate trauma patterns. Both patterns heal effectively, though the classical provides more validation through historical details. Not everyone needs past life regression-some patients benefit more from present-focused techniques. I teach most patients self-hypnotic and meditative skills for ongoing health benefits regardless of whether they explore past lives.

Chapter 4

Psychic Phenomena: More Normal Than You Think

Many people hesitate to discuss psychic experiences for fear of being considered "weird" or "crazy," yet such experiences are remarkably common. When I polled a Miami Beach book club-ten mainstream women with no particular metaphysical interests-I discovered 30% already believed in reincarnation and 60% believed in life after death, matching national averages. When asked about personal psychic experiences, their responses were remarkable. One woman's mother had dreamed of her glowing grandmother saying goodbye, only to learn the grandmother had died that night. Another dreamed of blood on a relative's chest who'd unknowingly undergone heart surgery. A third had recurring dreams of her son being injured but "returned to her"-which came true when he was hit by a car but survived as predicted. Most striking was that these women had never shared these experiences during twelve years of meetings. Yet these are normal women experiencing normal psychic phenomena that we all have but rarely discuss, even with family and close friends. Near-death experiences provide compelling evidence of consciousness beyond physical death. Dr. Morse documented cases of children who had NDEs, including a remarkable case of a nine-month-old who later recognized "Jesus" from his experience. The Journal of Critical Care Medicine reported a case of a child under one year old who developed separation anxiety around tunnels after nearly dying. Years later, when told of her grandmother's terminal illness, she innocently asked if her grandmother would "have to go through the tunnel to see God" like she did. Validation of past lives comes through compelling evidence like Dr. Ian Stevenson's collection of over two thousand cases of children with reincarnation-type experiences. Many exhibited xenoglossy-speaking foreign languages they'd never been exposed to-and knew specific details about distant towns and families from decades earlier. Half these cases came from Western countries, not just regions where reincarnation belief is common. In comparing past life recall to dream content, I've found dreams typically contain 70% symbol/metaphor, 15% actual memory, and 15% distortion. Past life recall reverses this ratio: approximately 80% actual memory, 10% symbol/metaphor, and 10% distortion. Like childhood memories, past life memories may contain minor inaccuracies while preserving the core truth.

Chapter 5

Healing the Body Through the Mind

The mind-body connection reveals itself powerfully through past life therapy, offering healing for both physical and psychological conditions. Consider Elaine, a respected psychologist who sought help for chronic, excruciating pain in her neck, shoulders, and upper back, along with a lifelong terror of heights. During hypnosis, she experienced being a medieval soldier standing blindfolded atop a stone tower with hands bound behind her back. She felt the excruciating pain of being lanced in the back before falling into a moat. After this session, Elaine initially experienced intensified pain for a couple of days, but then both her back pain and fear of heights completely disappeared. In a subsequent session, she relived being an impoverished man in medieval France who was wrongly accused of a crime and publicly hanged. Following this regression, her chronic neck pain vanished, and she recognized how that past life had created her current reluctance to speak out and take risks. Jack, a forty-year-old cargo pilot, sought help for multiple physical and psychological symptoms including migraines, gouty arthritis, and high blood pressure. Through regression therapy, Jack discovered he had been a German pilot shot down by friendly fire in WWII when his right wing was blown off. He also recalled a life as a cowhand crushed by a boulder, and another where he suffered knee injuries explaining his current arthritis. After these sessions, Jack's wing phobia disappeared completely, his migraines stopped, his gout improved, and his anger was replaced with peacefulness. Chronic headaches respond particularly well to past life therapy. My wife Carole suffered from premenstrual migraines for years that doctors claimed could only be managed with medication. During hypnosis, she recalled being a peasant clubbed to death by a mob about a thousand years ago in Central Europe, with the fatal blow landing above her left eye-exactly where her migraines originated. After this session, her incapacitating migraines disappeared completely. Past life therapy often frees patients from dependence on medications. Alberto, a physician specializing in urology, had suffered from severe back pain requiring potent painkillers. During regression, he recalled dying painfully on a European battlefield from a wound that corresponded exactly to his current pain location. After the session, his pain and spasms quickly improved, eliminating his need for medication. Multiple patients have healed chronic respiratory conditions through past life recall of deaths involving lung trauma or suffocation. Lacey, a high school teacher with asthma and fear of water, recalled drowning as a young girl and later suffocating under wet straw as a young slave. Her asthma improved considerably after therapy. Research increasingly supports the mind-body connection. A study in The Lancet found that combining exercise, diet, and stress reduction techniques could reverse coronary artery blockages, with stress reduction being particularly crucial. Another study of heart attack victims found that anxiety, fearfulness, hostility, and anger predispose people to second attacks. The transformational power of hypnotic regression and visualization offers safe, strong healing forces with no side effects because they are spiritual and intuitive in nature-truly holistic medicine that can complement traditional approaches.

Chapter 6

Healing Troubled Relationships Through Past Life Connections

We often reincarnate with the same souls repeatedly, forming a core group that remains fairly constant across lifetimes, though relationships may change-a mother-son relationship in one lifetime might become a sibling relationship in another. Subconscious recognition of past-life connections manifests as immediate attraction or repulsion and repetition of old behavior patterns, often appearing out of context in current circumstances. Consider Diana, a wealthy Philadelphia woman who sought therapy for chronic depression stemming from her hostile relationship with her daughter Tamar. She had disliked Tamar from birth, unlike her three other children. During regression therapy, Diana recalled nearly dying during Tamar's birth, but this memory didn't improve their relationship. A deeper regression revealed they had been rivals for the same man in a past life-the man who was now Diana's husband and Tamar's father. Later, without Diana's knowledge, Tamar independently underwent regression therapy and discovered the same past life. When they shared these parallel discoveries, their twenty-year hostility finally transformed into friendship. Martine, a thirty-year-old mother of two, sought help for her "terrible" seven-year marriage to Hal, who constantly criticized and demeaned her. During hypnotic regression, Martine recalled a past life as Rebecca in 1859, whose mother died in childbirth. Rebecca's father-who was Hal in her current life-blamed her for the death, beat her, and locked her in closets. Despite his cruelty, Rebecca stayed with him until his death when she was thirty. The regression helped Martine realize she was repeating the same pattern of submission. Two months later, she reported feeling stronger and more assertive, with significant improvement in her marriage. Hope, a forty-five-year-old woman seeking therapy for depression related to problems with her teenage son Steve, discovered through regression therapy that her son had been her exploitative employer in a past life at the turn of the century. After the regression, Hope gained perspective, realizing Steve wasn't intentionally trying to cheat her but simply going through adolescence. She recognized that betrayal and being cheated were her issues, not Steve's. Family members can be regressed individually or simultaneously to resolve shared problems or enhance relationships. Sometimes couples or families attend workshops together and discover they've unknowingly regressed to the same lifetime. The improvement in relationships through group regressions can be rapid and dramatic. This approach works equally well with adoptive families, as adopted children often discover they've shared previous lifetimes with their adoptive parents.

Chapter 7

Soulmates: Connections Across Time

Soulmates are those with whom we share an instant connection, having likely known them across many lifetimes. Contrary to Plato's idea that we each have only one perfect other half, we likely have a soul group of many soulmates who complete our experience in different ways. These connections expand our growth, intimacy, and joy. We can have multiple soulmate relationships simultaneously-romantic partners, friends, parents, or children-each completing our soul in unique ways. As we interact with our soulmates across lifetimes, we ascend spiritually, transcending old patterns, experiencing love and joy, and shedding anger and fear. Eventually, we may choose to be reborn to help others or remain in spirit form, moving from growth through reincarnation to growth through service. Anthony, an Australian man engaged to my former patient Ariel, underwent regression therapy and discovered they had been lovers over two thousand years ago in North Africa. In that lifetime, Anthony was a warrior whose tribe used liquid fire in battle. His young fiancee (Ariel in the current life) had perished when boats carrying women and children caught fire. Anthony survived the battle but eventually died alone in a temple after writing his people's history on gold leaf. Their reunion in this lifetime after two millennia apart gave new meaning to their passionate relationship.

Chapter 8

Healing the Wounded Child Within

Modern therapy often focuses on "healing the inner child," a concept evolved from psychoanalytic techniques. When childhood pain emerges in adulthood, it can produce symptoms including guilt, depression, and self-destructive behavior. Past life therapy can dramatically accelerate this healing process by revealing deeper patterns. Linda, a thirty-five-year-old attorney with a cool professional exterior, had suffered extreme childhood abuse. Her father had beaten her with belts, fists, and wooden beams, while frequently choking her and calling her derogatory names. Linda had no memories before age eight, had developed asthma as a teenager, and suffered from a severe fear of choking and wearing anything around her neck. During hypnosis, she was finally able to recall details from fourth grade and picture her father's face from when she was eight, beginning the process of accessing her buried trauma. The breakthrough came when she regressed to a past life in England where she was beheaded by guillotine-arranged by her husband, who was her father in her current life. She also recalled two other past lives: one as a happily married Italian woman and another as an elderly woman living near windmills. After these regressions, Linda's symptoms disappeared completely-she could button her collar without anxiety, her asthma nearly vanished, and she understood she needed to learn forgiveness rather than hatred. Laura, a twenty-five-year-old boutique manager, suffered from depression, eating disorders, and troubling questions about possible childhood sexual abuse, though she had no clear memories of it. In past life regression therapy, Laura accessed several lives, including one as a fifteen-year-old Spanish girl burned as a witch by a judge who was her father in this life. These regressions unlocked her blocked memories, revealing she had indeed been sexually abused by her father and uncle from age two. Understanding the past life connections with her father helped Laura process her trauma-she saw their history of torment extended across lifetimes. Her eating disorder improved, depression lifted, and anxiety about meeting with her parents decreased significantly. The incidence of child abuse in America is alarmingly high-approximately one in three girls and one in five boys are victims of sexual abuse. Past life therapy offers adult survivors a rapid, safe way to process these experiences within a broader emotional and spiritual framework. Unlike traditional approaches, it helps victims grasp their experiences from new perspectives. Under proper therapeutic guidance, reexperiencing these stories brings relief rather than retraumatization.

Chapter 9

Breaking Protective Patterns: Obesity and Substance Abuse

Past-life traumas can manifest as protective physical conditions like obesity or substance dependencies in current lives. Kathy, a business executive with severe driving anxiety, found no relief through traditional therapy or medication. Under hypnosis, she recalled childhood car accidents that explained her current fear. Emboldened by this success, she sought help for her lifelong obesity. In regression therapy, Kathy discovered two past lives where she died of starvation-first as a victim of Nazi concentration camp experiments, then as a prostitute wasting away from disease in New Orleans. She realized her current excess weight served as protection against ever starving again. With this understanding, she no longer needed this protection and steadily lost all her excess weight over the following months. Dee, a banker's wife struggling with fifty to sixty pounds of excess weight, had tried numerous weight loss methods without success. During hypnotic regression, she discovered she had been a beautiful Native American woman 300 years ago who was kidnapped and mutilated for her beauty. This trauma made her resolve never to be beautiful again, leading to obesity as protection. After uncovering this past life memory in just one session, Dee lost weight effortlessly, maintained her ideal weight for nearly four years, and no longer experienced anxiety or binge eating. Like obesity, substance abuse often serves as protection-creating a layer between people and their feelings, fears, and hurts. While obesity typically provides physical protection, substance abuse involves escapism or avoidance, dulling awareness and suppressing memories. Some substance abusers discover through regression that they committed suicide in past lives, now translating that escape impulse into the slower suicide of addiction. Sarah had been an alcoholic for many years with periodic spending sprees. Despite eight years of psychotherapy, group therapy, and inpatient treatment, she showed no improvement. Through past life regression, she discovered that she, her parents, and husband had repeatedly been together in abusive, alcoholic relationships across multiple lifetimes involving violence, murder, and suicide. Recognizing these destructive patterns, Sarah resolved to break the cycle through forgiveness and love. She now meditates regularly, volunteers with the severely handicapped, and no longer abuses substances or money.

Chapter 10

Finding Peace in Death and Grief

Most healthcare professionals know little about death and grief beyond describing stages and symptoms. They rarely explain what happens to consciousness after death or provide tools to assuage grief. People who have had near-death experiences, past-life regressions, or out-of-body experiences typically don't grieve as profoundly because they understand that consciousness never dies. Leonard, a fifty-five-year-old man dying of metastatic lung cancer, began experiencing floating sensations and reported seeing people waiting outside his door. They showed him a large book containing details about his next life, with what sounded like a Pakistani or Indian name. Before dying, Leonard whispered to his wife, "Dying is not a loss. It is a part of living." His experiences provided comfort to his wife, who became much less fearful of death. Philip, a computer software designer with a strong Catholic background, sought regression therapy to heal his grief over losing two young children to a rare congenital birth defect. During his session, rather than accessing a past life, Philip entered a dimension where he met his deceased children in an alpine meadow, along with his father and grandfather. His children, now older and stronger, held his hands and assured him they were happy. This profound experience allowed Philip to release years of guilt and grief, giving him an understanding of the soul's immortality and restoring his sense of joy and purpose. Rena, a 28-year-old lawyer whose husband Jim died of cancer, found healing through both his deathbed experience and her own regression. Before dying, Jim told Rena about seeing an old man waiting to take him on his journey, confirming her beliefs about the afterlife that he had previously rejected. During her regression, Rena experienced a past life as a Native American healer in the 17th century, revealing potential talents she might develop in this lifetime. This session helped resolve her grief while pointing toward new directions in her life. The experiences shared by my patients reveal that death is not absolute but a transition. The consciousness continues, and separation from loved ones is neither permanent nor complete. The grieving can find comfort knowing that souls who have been together before will meet again, though perhaps in different relationships. Even the dying can benefit from understanding that death doesn't mean disappearing into blackness-it simply means the wisdom of the soul continues when the body is no longer needed.

Chapter 11

Expanding Consciousness Through Mystical Experiences

Our resistance to new ideas often stems from fear of having our worldview challenged. When we release limiting beliefs acquired in youth, life's possibilities expand as we open ourselves to truth and love. Past life regression can facilitate profound mystical experiences that transform our understanding of reality. Anita, a forty-two-year-old depressed housewife from a strict Italian Catholic background, reached a between-lives state filled with purple and golden light during regression. From this place, this normally timid woman began sharing profound wisdom about compassion and the alignment of mind and heart. Following this mystical experience, Anita's depression lifted, her feelings of powerlessness diminished, and she gained personal empowerment. She redefined her relationship with her authoritarian father and discovered healing abilities, including the capacity to reduce her children's fevers through touch. Beth, a depressed woman in her fifties dealing with separation from her controlling husband, experienced a profound regression. She found herself in a magical garden with crystalline structures where a guide in white led her to a marble building containing a library. Inside, she discovered a book with her name that contained records of her past lives and current circumstances. Her guide explained that her current troubles weren't random but designed to accelerate her spiritual progress by teaching her about love, jealousy, and anger. This mystical experience transformed her depression into serenity and empowerment, dramatically expanding her perception of reality and her potential for joy. Past life therapy benefits not only those with serious problems but also high-functioning individuals with minor issues. It can unlock hidden strengths, pinpoint distortions in self-perception, and provide direct experiences of spirituality that replace vague feelings of purposelessness with serenity and direction. Creative blocks often dissolve when their past-life origins are revealed, and inexplicable fears find resolution through understanding their historical context. For many patients, regression becomes the beginning of a spiritual path bringing peace, joy, wisdom, and transcendent experiences without requiring withdrawal from careers or relationships. Though these experiences come unbidden and cannot be forced, they represent the ultimate healing goal of therapy-transforming fear into love and wisdom.

Chapter 12

Exploring Your Past Lives: Techniques You Can Use

Past life exploration doesn't always require a regression therapist. Many techniques can be practiced at home to access higher wisdom and past lives. The recommended techniques include keeping dream journals, meditation, visualization, self-awareness exercises, and "play" techniques that can be practiced alone or with friends. Dreams often contain clues about past lives-not all are symbolic Freudian dreams; some convey literal past life memories. To keep an effective dream journal: upon awakening, lie quietly without moving and recall your dream, then give it a title to identify its theme. Record all details to prevent forgetting. Dreams containing clues from past lives often feature clothing from different time periods or tools from another era. Meditation clears the mind, allowing insights and past life memories to surface spontaneously. The practice is simpler than most believe-whenever you're relaxed with a quiet, observant mind, you're meditating. Visualization-similar to daydreaming-can be used to picture yourself in a different time, allowing images to flow from your subconscious. Your current life often contains clues to past lives. From a non-judgmental perspective, examine your talents and abilities-like Mozart's ability to write symphonies at age five, possibly carried over from prior lifetimes. Affinities for particular languages or cultures may indicate past life origins, as with the Oklahoma man who felt instantly "at home" in Jamaica. Fears and phobias without clear origins in this lifetime might stem from negative past life experiences. Free-association with emotionally charged words can unlock past life memories. When relaxed, focus on universal words like "war," "church," "ocean," or "soldier" and observe the mental images that arise. Another technique called "Faces" involves sitting opposite a friend in dim light and watching their facial features transform, often revealing past life appearances. Body work like acupressure massage can trigger "cellular memories" from past lives, as physical stimulation activates dormant recollections stored in the body. Whether you explore past lives through professional therapy or personal practice, the journey often leads to profound healing and transformation. By understanding the patterns that have shaped your soul across multiple lifetimes, you gain perspective on current challenges and discover new pathways to physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
