A Safety Note Before You Begin Regression Work
**Please read this carefully before you take a client into any regression.** Within this work, a client's past-life or regression experience is understood as real and meaningful within their spiritual framework. However, your role is not to prove, disprove, or certify what happened in the physical world, and you must never present a hypnotic scene as legal proof of abuse, a crime, a specific identity, or an entity to any third party. Do not advise a client to confront anyone or take legal action based solely on material that surfaced in hypnosis. Keep your questions neutral and open — "What are you noticing?" or "What's happening now?" rather than "Who did this to you?" — so you are not the one supplying the details of the scene.
Most Darkness Begins in Childhood
Since we are all victims of victims, most dark spots come from childhood. You will often find your client back at their old house or apartment. Get them to describe the scene. How old are they?
Then ask, "What is happening? Are you alone?" If your client shows distress, you can have them go above the scene and look down, but it is better if they stay in it. Allow them time to see what is happening.
New or Familiar?
Ask the client to describe what they are feeling. Then ask whether it feels new or familiar. If the feeling is new, start there. If it feels familiar, they have felt it earlier — have them go to that earlier moment. Keep asking new or familiar until you are confident they are in the scene of the first time they felt that way.
Have them describe the feeling and feel it as deeply as they can. It will naturally subside. Tell them you will stay quiet while they feel it fully, and to let you know when it has subsided so you can continue.
Bringing the Adult Into the Scene
Once the pain has been released, have your client imagine going into the scene as the adult they are now. Here the adult can see the entire scene from a different, more mature perspective. Allow them to confront the person who has wronged them and say whatever they want to say — yell, scream, curse, whatever they need to get it out.
"Here is your chance. You may say whatever you want and don't worry if you want to curse, that is fine with me." Even if the other person is deceased, that is okay. Tell them off. Your subconscious mind will see it as fact.
Many clients want to hurt them — beat them up, punch or kick them — and that is alright. However, do not let them kill them just yet. There is still work to be done with them.
Telling Them How It Felt
Once they have said everything they wanted to, it is time to tell that person how they made them feel and how it affected them their entire life — why their actions caused shame, not-worthy, not-good-enough, why their behavior made them miss opportunities and make stupid decisions which cost them their happiness. Feel free to call them out. This is very important toward releasing it.
Once your client has spilled their guts, allow the other person time to apologize or explain themselves. It may be that they were victims of victims too. Here your client may learn something about that person's childhood they did not know. Many times clients will see their assailants crying and apologizing. This is very healing. It is up to your client to accept the apology or not — some people are too narcissistic to apologize, and there is nothing you can do about that.
Cutting the Cords
Then cut the cords. Each cord holds a negative emotion. Go through each cord and make sure it actually cuts. If it does not cut all the way through, someone still needs to express a feeling or thought. Continue until all the cords are cut.
From My Practice — Following the Chain All the Way Back
A woman came to me with what she called separation anxiety. Whenever her husband left the house she was gripped by the certainty that something terrible would happen to him and he would never come home. In the clean-out she found darkness in her chest, and when it rose above her it said "fear of loss." I asked where it originated, and she landed first at eleven years old, waiting at a window for a father who had left.
That is where a new practitioner stops. I asked her: is this feeling new, or is it familiar? Familiar. So we went earlier — five years old, standing in a hallway, being told a grandmother she adored had died and no one explaining anything to her. New or familiar? New. That was the origin. She felt it as deeply as she could until it subsided on its own, and then her adult self walked into that hallway, picked the little girl up, and told her the truth she had needed at five: that people leaving is not her fault, and that she is safe. She spoke to her father, heard why he left, and cut the cords. Then we ran the new scene several times — her husband walking out the door, and her body staying calm.
Keep asking new or familiar until the answer is new. The scene the client offers you first is almost never the first one.
Practice
Practice the bridge on yourself. 1. Choose a current emotional reaction of your own — something small and recent. 2. Locate it in your body and stay with it without analyzing. 3. Ask: is this new, or is this familiar? 4. Follow it back to the earliest scene it points to, and stop there. 5. Write down what you asked yourself at each step. That is your regression bridge, in your own words.
