I have found that teaching clients various hypnosis techniques is very effective for helping them to discover the underlying trigger to many habits and problems. A middle aged, female client connected her father's funeral at age eight with a life time pattern of overeating. With this awareness and some post-hypnotic suggestions to reframe her beliefs about new and healthy ways to comfort herself, she was able to release her overeating habit and lose weight for the first time in her adult life!

PAST LIFE EXPLORATION:
I first became interested in past life exploration when I had the privelege of attending a lecture by Dr. Ian Stevenson, head of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine. Dr. Stevenson had, for many years, been collecting what he considered to be evidence for the proof on reincarnation in case studies involving young children with explicit, detailed past life recall. His cases were compelling and presented in a scientifically convincing manner.

More recently, some medical doctors are promoting this powerful and insightful tool. One in particular is Brian Weiss MD. whose book "Many Lives, Many Masters" has become a best seller. You may have seen him interviewed by Dr. Memet Oz on the Oprah show. Another popular author is Michael Newton who wrote "Journey of Souls."

In my professional experience, I have witnessed a client release a life long fear of water and another gain insight into the cause of her fear of chronic back pain. One man in his late twenties found that he released a lifelong struggle with depression after discovering its cause in a past life. As a result his past life exploration, this client says he now experiences profound peace in his current life.

I always tell people interested in trying past life exploration that it doesn't matter whether you believe in past lives or not. The information that people gain from hypnosis almost always seems to be relevant and insightful!
