Anyone tried this? I can get a one to one session locally for £25 but would I just be wasting my money?

If being called closed minded for not believing in something so patently nonsense suggests that the open minded, who do chose to believe, must be so open minded their brains have fallen out. 🤣

IhaveALooBrush · 23/06/2019 22:28

It's tosh
Spend the money on wine it will be much more fun

codemonkey · 23/06/2019 22:17

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

Minkies11 · 23/06/2019 22:15

What utter, utter bullshit. But it might be a laugh - I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face!

Lifecraft · 23/06/2019 22:11

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

I've never been to the South Pole but I feel perfectly well educated enough to say it's fucking cold.

OP, as said, you were Cleopatra, or Queen Elizabeth I. You definitely weren't an accounts clerk from Tamworth. No one ever is.

Stop worrying about your past life and get a present one.

Sorry, I meant @LaurieFairyCake . There was a couple of Hindu people on my course.

Sparklesocks · 23/06/2019 20:18

I don’t believe in it at all personally so I wouldn’t give a charlatan my money (there are many more fun ways to burn £25!), but it’s not my business if others feel differently.

humblebumblebees · 23/06/2019 20:17

Good point, @PaddyF0dder

humblebumblebees · 23/06/2019 20:16

There was a thread on here recently with a link to the story of the Glasgow boy who talked a lot about his Barra mum and family from when he was here before. It was fascinating and a lot but not all of his recollections were verified.

Made me re-think my present cynicism.

PaddyF0dder · 23/06/2019 20:15

I’d love to hear how they mesh with bullshit with the fact of population growth.

LaurieFairyCake · 23/06/2019 20:14

Well about a billion Hindus do Grin

Throckmorton · 23/06/2019 20:12

Oh come on, who really believes we were all someone else first? Why would that be?

teyem · 23/06/2019 20:11

Maybe it's like guided day-dreaming for the unimaginative.

Sizeofalentil · 23/06/2019 20:10

I've had one done before - I'm not a believer but it was fantastic. Just interesting and fun.

I was taken back to three lives (was told to choose three that I felt would be significant to me that time and day). Sadly, they were all very boring. Was asked for a message from each life for the present 'me' though, which was quite interesting.

Bluntness100 · 23/06/2019 20:09

The people who do this, clearly want to believe it is true. So they are always going to come up with some imagined history and then convince themselves it wasn't their imagination they really were that person.

Logically you know it's shite , but if for some reason you're ok with that and want to pay a stranger so you can come up with something, then go for it, the stranger will be perfectly happy to enable you.

Or you could just make it up in your own home. No need for someone else to be involved. That doesn't validate it.

www.european-college.co.uk/

They do courses in it so could refer you to someone I think.

I have a diploma myself (yes, I know but it was a funny time) but don't practise.

recrudescence · 23/06/2019 19:55

Could be entertaining I suppose but I’d prefer to go to the cinema a couple of times with my £25.

IHeartArya · 23/06/2019 19:55

A friend had it done years ago. He’s always been terrified of the water. In one he was a small child that drowned, another a monk that drowned. He was fascinated by it. Asked me to have it done but I’m too sceptical wuss

MeSoTooSo · 23/06/2019 19:54

It's bullshit. As someone who used to believe in all things 'woo'.

Sure, these regression experts may believe in what they're doing, but it's still bullshit.

teyem · 23/06/2019 19:49

Do we only have human past lives or could you have been, say, a woodlouse? I bet it's not very profitable to suggest someone was a woodlouse.

KennDodd · 23/06/2019 19:45

So who are these 'past life regressers' and where do you find them? Do they have offices and businesses cards? Is there an association of past life regressers they join? I wonder if they go to international conferences to discuss the latest developments in the past life regression world? Very curious about the 'professional ' you'll be seeing, I wonder if they're fully qualified Grin

LaurieFairyCake · 23/06/2019 19:42

My friend had five different 'lives' she described. I can only remember 3. One she worked in an abbatoir in the 19th C (she's a veggie so it was horrible), one she was a male farm hand scything with a wife and 4 children, one was some sort of Native American woman who was single and looked after the children in the community - this is the only death she could recall as the community loved her and burned her on a pyre.

She thinks the farm hand had a heart attack when he still had a family to support - she was left with a sense of sadness after that.

LaurieFairyCake · 23/06/2019 19:35

And I watched my friend through the whole thing. Nothing was actually suggested to her - it was all just 'what can you see/hear/smell'

Whatever happened she made it all up or described it herself, it wasn't suggested by the hypnotist

LaurieFairyCake · 23/06/2019 19:32

My friend who was the client was the psychotherapist - not the person putting her under.

PaddyF0dder · 23/06/2019 19:28

It’s also not a surprise that a psychotherapist (hardly a scientific discipline) also does past life regression.
