To have a Past Life Regression session?

That can’t have been to me, surely, Carla?
My comment was just before yours, and whilst I made no secret of my scepticism, nowhere was I “controlling or insulting about strangers’ religious beliefs”; in fact I didn’t mention religious beliefs at all.

@TheYeaSayer - anyone on here who has been disrespectful and said things like, "people who have spiritual beliefs are charlatans", "people who believe in spiritual stuff are gullible". etc etc.

Spiritual people & spiritualists actually don't give a shit what you believe, we're not trying to convert you like many religions out there, just don't insult and demean others.

There's a tenet to live by. Perhaps you could actually do with a bit of spiritual / religious guidance in your life seeing as you're not doing so great just going off your own sense of how others should be treated.

*ITV

I'd do it for a laugh but not with that woman who was on it, her voice was so irritating

Oo woo bunfight!

Who are those last two comments directed at, Carla?

If you're this controlling and insulting about strangers' religious beliefs, I dread to think what you're like to live with and actually relate to in person?

Why, yes I am judging you for disrespecting other peoples' spiritual and religious beliefs. It's not the behaviour of a tolerant or respectful person. But I'm sure that's not the first time you've heard that.

There was a thread about astrology a couple of days ago, and it was observed that astrology seems to less prominent now than in recent years. It has, apparently, fallen out of favour and credibility.
I hope the same happens with some of the other woo that is still being peddled. I can’t, for example believe that some people still have faith in psychics/mediums, yet tethered are still occasional threads on here where people ask for recommendations.

I agree about the snidey negativity
Sceptics have, on this thread been called real dicks, closed minded, smug, obnoxious... yet it is they who have “snidely negativity”?

I agree about the snidey negativity. There is no need to try and dictate other peoples’ spiritual beliefs. If you don’t believe, fine. No need for smug superiority or insults aimed at those who do, or are open minded or curious. You do you, and try not to be controlling of others.

I wish the woo brigade on here would move on from the idea that any kind of self-deluding hogwash should be ‘respected’.

"It is unecessary for people to come on here to yell that it is all bullshit - come on everyone, some of us believe in it, some don't, do you really need to be so obnoxious about it? We should respect each others spiritual beliefs - there is no need for negativity and bashing. I assume the people bashing it wouldn't come to someone christian or muslim and yell that their spiritual belief is bull - so why do it here?"

Totally agree. There are some real dicks on MN.

The word ‘charlatans’ springs to mind.
Please don’t be so gullible. If you’re unhappy with your current life, look for sensible ways to make it better.
Find something decent to waste your money on 🙂

Depends what you want to get out of it.

A warning though: I ended up with extreme anxiety after I found out I had a pretty traumatic past life. Turns out in a past life I was a Hedgehog that got run over by a chariot. =(

I bet none of the closed minded people on here have ever had one done so their opinions are not exactly well informed

I haven't had meningitis either but I'm pretty sure it's not much fun.

Is that terribly 'closed minded' of me too?

It's a con.

Just like psychics, anyone who claims to do this sort of thing are either deluded or frauds.

Hmm.
I've done the YouTube ones.
All very relaxing and calming but usually just fall asleep.

But in one I saw my hands rub dust off the soles of my feet. I had dark skin, and tough calluosed feet. (Now I'm fair, with hobbity feet). I was wearing red/brown robes, it was sunny and windy and the landscape was hilly, dusty and rocky.
That's it really. Nothing dramatic. It felt different to imagining something.

RTFT, I did.

And can report it's bullshit. I had mine done by probably the most well known 'regression therapist' and she's a fake. Totally in it for the money (£250 a session) and forever marketing herself after a stint on TV.

Almost as bad as 'mediums'.

Ooh. I've won my woo bingo on page 1. People who don't believe in this UTTER SHITE are 'closed minded'. BINGO

Some people on here are very closed minded to idea that past life regression is a made up load of old toot.

You can do it yourself through meditation. I did it and discovered some of mine.

My aunty-in-law is a registered and fully trained hynpotherapist who used to do 'life between lives' regression and whether you choose to believe in it or not I can 100% tell you that she is not a con artist or anything of the sort. She is a truly lovely, gentle and caring lady who has these beliefs and who believes that she can genuinely help people. She would NEVER mislead anyone. Whether you choose to believe in it all yourself is up to the individual.

The idea is that we have a number of different lives and we have a soul group, and our soul group appear as people who are important to us in all of our lives. So for example a member of your soul group might be your mother in one life, but in the next life they might be reborn as your sister or your best friend. I believe there is a society called the Newton Institute who train the life between lives hypnotherapists and they have many conferences and seminars about it all. Not sure what I think of it all personally but I respect my aunty-in-law's beliefs and I find her views quite fascinating.

I don't believe in past lives, but had one done as a bit of fun. It wasn't like being hypnotised, I as totally aware of where I was. It was a bit like relating a daydream, and the past life guider wrote it down as I said it aloud. She would ask leading questions, like "What can you see?" "What is his name?" to prompt you onwards.

I was a poor male (I'm female) tailor in the 1700s in a small town in Germany altering/making garments for rich people.

I had vivid memories of my wife and two daughters, and the couple of rooms over a a shop-front that we lived n.

While I don't believe it's true, it was tremendous fun, and I oddly still feel about the memory as though it's real. I can remember meeting my best friend, who was a barber/surgeon, down by the banks of a river.

I don't believe it's true, but it was fun. And it makes me wonder why my subconscious came up with that as my past life...I would certainly have chosen something a bit more glamorous consciously...or something a bit more in-line with my interests. No offence to 1700's Germany but something ancient Egypt, Greek or Celtic would have been way more up my alley.

I’d love to hear how they mesh with bullshit with the fact of population growth.
If you look at how many other forms of life on the planet have died as humans have expanded you might get an "equals" I suppose. Assuming you can be different animals. So can you, as well as male and female??
I regard it as similar to the hypnosis for bringing back 'buried memories'. That went down badly as I recall. I don't know how you'd prove this sort of thing happening / not happening and until then it has to be regarded sceptically.
