Case Studies
An experience that a client of mine had is described in this book. This book also describes very well the use of "Past Life Therapy" to overcome present day problems.
Dr. Peter Fenwick

Thomas’s Hospital, London, President of the Scientific and Medical

Elizabeth are authors of a number of books about
near-death experiences including, "The Truth in the Light". Extract: (Past Life) Regression therapy … It is used as a tool to help the patient achieve insight into a problem, in the same way as dream therapy is often used by psycho-therapists. The questions the therapist asks have only one aim - to discover whether traumatic events in a past life lie at the root of difficulties in this life. A past-life regression that is attempting to prove reincarnation will take a quite different form. The hypnotist will try to elicit as many details as possible - names, dates, places, anything that can be checked to see how well the past-life story hangs together. It seldom does. Neil Robinson, however, has told us of one occasion when both therapist and client were taken aback when he decided to check out the memories of a past life. Neil is a professional hypnotherapist and member of the National Society of Professional Hypnotherapists, practising in Edinburgh, who uses both past-life and present-life regression to resolve problems. Sometimes he finds that a client in a present-life regression will regress spontaneously to a past life. One day when he was regressing a client: “Under hypnosis she regressed to a past life in the 1920s and recounted details of her life: her name, where she lived, what she did and names of her relatives. She particularly mentioned her favourite aunt, Aunt Aggie. The client's previous life ended in 1934. She was born in this life in 1946 and so therefore it seemed likely that some of her previous relatives were still around. This lady had never been to England, and yet she had given specific details about names and addresses in Burnley. After the session, with the client present, I telephoned Directory Enquiries and gave them the surname and address that she had relived. I was given two telephone numbers for that name in that street in Burnley. One was identical to the house number that she had said she lived at. With the client's permission, I telephoned that number and asked for Aunt Aggie. I was told by the person who answered the phone that Aunt Aggie had died about five years ago.” Neil Robinson adds that his client had no relatives in Burnley - in fact, hadn't even heard of the place. After the session was finished, one of the first things she asked was: 'Is there such a place as Burnley? I have never heard of it before. Where is it?' Coincidence is really the only rational explanation for this, and yet the account would involve four coincidences: name, house number, street name and town all checked out. Is this really that much easier to believe than the idea that Neil's client had somehow tuned in to memories of a past life, whether her own or someone else's?
