Q. What traits are helpful?

A. Introversion, with the resulting ability to go into altered states, is necessary. Fortunately, it is at least in part a learned ability.

Q. Who cannot benefit from PLT?

A. Anyone who clings to overly rigid ideas, has a fear of exposure, has religious conflicts, or has completely lost touch with their emotions. Consistent blamers; people who are stuck in guilt and a need to be victimized, to the extent that they are unwilling to take responsibility for their lives, but choose instead to see themselves as undeserving victims. Psychotics or borderline personalities need to first undergo more conventional ego strengthening therapy. People with much present anxiety are strongly recommended to first undergo one to three sessions of rapid eye technology, after which they can be easily guided into former lifetime memories.

Q. How many sessions are needed?

A. It depends upon one's goals. Some people are merely curious and desire to find out if they indeed can be regressed and, if so, what they have been. They may already suspect they have lived in certain countries or times, especially if vivid dreams have been noticed or deja vu experiences have occurred. One to two sessions are usually all that are desired for the time being, however, people often develop curiosity later and return for more insights. However, six to twelve sessions are recommended for those desiring to thoroughly reconnect with and clear predominant negative influences from the past and to integrate the insights into the mind/body/spirit and to also anchor in any positive attributes already developed in other lifetimes that are desired to refine.

Stages of a PLT Session

Stage I: Identification

First is identification with and replaying of significant past-life issues and/or traumas. It is not necessary to make it happen; simply allow the images to come in, without analyzing. This stage involves being in the past-life experience. As one gradually slips into the body, emotions and mind of the person one is imaging, one feels the hurts, the alienation, the love, the terror of that life. Emphasis is placed on these key moments and also the death process.

Stage II: Search for Patterns

Scanning the lifetime just left and others, a person emerges from the role he/she has been reliving and can observe and evaluate the information received. There follows a search for recurrent negative emotional response patterns between past and current lifetimes and their release through mutual forgiveness, when appropriate. The individual is able to interpret and understand details of the present life in a new manner. He/she realizes their true nature, as distinguished from the role being played. Associations are recognized and insights occur that greatly expedite the learning process. Now able to experience present time reality without confusing it with feelings from the distant past, survival fear is reduced and one can live more fully, consciously and completely in the present.

Stage III: Transformation, Integration, Reframing

Material that has been brought to the surface can be restructured, as positive and affirmative emotional patterns are discovered that can be integrated as alternative models for present and future responses. Past-life scripts can be released or even rewritten. By now viewing life as holotropic, a person begins to shift attitudes and adopts a wider and more objective perspective regarding past traumas and events, psychological scripts, particular parents as necessary factors for growth, and attraction or repulsion for certain individuals.. For many, there is a realization of the nature of the One, which leaves a person changed forever.
