The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

There were a few times when I was a teen, where people tried to hypnotize me to get me to regress on the past lives, but it never worked. It's like I unconciously block it, BUT when I have been awake (say and spiritual questing while on say, a psychoactive substance, while I was young) I have had full-on detailed regressions with witnesses, AND have had many more in my dreams, and both of those types have had confirmations to the truth of them from others who were also witness to said past life.....

Anyone else have those blockages and dream or waking life gifts?

Well sorta, I've ran into people that I've never met, but been able to talk to them like I've known them forever, and talk about them about things they didn't tell me. And this has been out of state people. I used to work at a truck stop, and would talk to the drivers about almost anything and every thing. Kinda weird.

Ok.. so.. what's the "other stuff" you wanted to discuss?

try a few times to be hypnotize to see, but it never worked.

I have thought about hypotism, but I figured what ever I am suppose to remember I will when I need to. and it has worked for me so far.

I have never been able to go under either. Not sure if it was me or the hypnotist.

My question is, "Is it really possible to Hypnotize a human being or any other living creature for that matter. The only time you really see it work is on TV, and 99% of that crap is fake. Does anyone agree with me on this?

People place blocks on many things in their mind. Some of it might prove hurtful if discovered by someone else or shameful. There are also blocks or "save guards" in place to protect ourselves from hurt or the belief that we may hurt someone else. It is not usually a good practice to try to remove these blocks. As many are psychotic in one way or another. The blocks are there for a reason. When the person feels ready, and feels safe, then the regression can come naturally.
I am trained in hypnotherapy. It is a great tool to use. But it does only work if you are willing to go with the flow.

And no "jcpc83" I do not agree with you. The fact is, I can hypnotize you within 10 seconds - no shit.
I have seen first hand that it works. Some of it is amazing.

yes jcpc83, I have seen it. I have witnessed several people go under. I have never gone under myself, I believe that I am blocking it.

i think that i am probably blocking mine out. i have had instances where ive met people i feel like ive known for a lifetime, can just talk to them as though weve been friends since childhood & as someone who isnt really much into being people friendly, its quite an odd experience but i enjoy it when it does happen....

I've heard that, when we are younger, we still have some memories of past lives. As we grow older, it's more difficult for us to diffuse past memories and our "dreams" and reality.
As a warning, be careful with past life regressions, I hear they can be sticky at times. :(

:) Birra, the 'other stuff' was the second half of my originating topic, aka, the non-hypno dream stuff.

I had a question for BillyTheJust: Does past life regression truly work? There have been so much about it that has have a negative bent to it.

I do know anyone who as tried it. But with you being a hypnotherapist. I figured you could answer this question.

Regression for past lives is really not to hard to do. If the client is having trouble or a bad experience, you either cut the session (end it) or try to go to another past life. The client may only remember the one lifetime because of the strong connection to it. If it is a bad one, there are ways to work around it from the start. If the client wants to continue for a next session.

The bad stories that you may have heard are from people that are not trained to work with the clients. To help them with the session. Using "open end sentences" and "mirror questioning" are always helpful. Many therapist have been know to feed the story or past life into the client. This is very poor practice and has lead some to believe in being "adducted" by aliens. lol. But it is true, this is what happens.

thank you, BillytheJust. I do not think it is for me. but I want to get the facts from someone who had them.

thanks again.

Most people are only interested in the trivia part of having a past life. Good or bad, their past life becomes part of the dinner conversation and nothing more.
But if you are interested in improving your lifestyle or behavior, regression is very benificial. For example: in my case, I have always loved to travel and want nothing more than to give everything up and just go. But it turns out that this desire, which is very strong, is actually memories/ energy that came from one of my previous lives. I don't need to be specific here but you get the point. By me knowing this one past life, It can help with my present one. I now know what and where this desire is coming from. The pulling that I feel is not telling me where I should be going but where I have already been! One hell of a difference.
Past lives can also help explain habits, goals, drives and many more. Find someone that is willing to help you, not just put you under, and give it another shot.

How do you find a good hypnotherapist? I would even know what to look for. I am willing to try it. but, I live in California and needless to say there are millions of them here.

what should I look for and what typoe of questions should be asked to make sure that they do the correct practices?

I trained with Paul Aurand in N.Y.
He is one of the best there is.

From this you should be able to come up with some questions to ask someone that is local. ~ Billy

thank you! I am kind of excited about it. Thank you for the informatioin and the link.

Dreams are you minds way of releiving stress. It is controlled by you wants fears and hopes. If you pay attention to your dreams you can better understand your self. I'm open to past lives but have seen no proof of it yet

I would have to say it's true that children have better memories and tend to lose it when they age.

on another note... i love past life regressions, ever since i read a book called "Many lives, Many masters" I then regressed a friend and she me. it was an amazing experiance.

Generally, not everyone can be hypnotized...
those who can are usually people with more "broad" imagintions.
anyways
myabe you are one who can't
ect...
I dunno.

In a first attempt to hypnotize me - I began to float in it and loved the feeling of well being, and as I floated, my sub conscious went - 'are you crazy? lose control? and a mental shark bit me in the butt and I jumped up off the chair! After 4 more attempts - I never got remotely close to that almost hypnotized state - no one has been able to get me there again - pity. I have trust issues and letting go issues I suppose....I would welcome another attempt - so many positive suggestions to give me and I would dearly like past life regression attempts and that face of that dream that is in my profile as well.

I am one of the ones that just can't get into a hypnotised state I don't know why...

i think that not just any one can hypnotize it takes a professoinal

Billy:
Is it true that you regress in an order, like, birth to death, death to birth in past life regressions? Or do certain things just sort of fly at you?

I don't really have past life regressions in my dreams, or when I'm on anything. It's when I'm writing that some of the things I write tend to kind of freak me out.

I have tried past life regression and I worked with a few physics and I have found out one of my past lives..No surprise that I was a french noble(woman) and I love the time period and feel comfortable about it so it makes sense to me. I have had more luck with meditation and my writing then with anyone else or being on anything.

I have tried it and my past life was completely blocked, a friend suggested that It was a horrible past that something inside didnt want to remember it! So now Ive been trying harder to figure out what is going on with my past, because If I have dreams about someone I've never met and I try to figure out who they are I end up knowing them in this reality as well, but I just never remember how!!! I end up in a very long conversation about how I know them but they say they never remember how we met!!!

To answer your question MeowMixLP,
neither. You will remember the memory that has the most energy to it, pleasant or not. This is why you need to work with it. A time line needs to be made. It will not be so obvious. In the West, we have the habit of thinking along linear lines. But this is not aways the case in dealing with Life nor always very helpful.

When I was a child I did still have some memories about another life! I don't remember any of it now, but I have met people that I felt like I knew b4! I had terrible repeating dreams that I have always suspected might be related to my past life! So I'm curious about it, but not sure I would want to know more!

I prefer to live mine in a rapid cycle between death dates and birth dates. It makes for a more intense learning experience.

I do know that law enforcement has used hyptnoizing for years to aid in witness's remembering of license plate numbers and descriptions of bank robbers and such. It's an accepted practice there. I have seen it work myself so I trust it.

Unfortunately I'm like DarkestDesires, a trained FBI agent tried putting me under once (a friend) I cannot release control.

People have tries to hypnotize me and its never worked. I have had regressions in my dreams though, not many, and not very clearly...but they were there none the less...

I have rembered much of one of my past lives. And sometimes i will meet people and imediatly 'know' them that makes me think that i must have known them in a past life.

Also i would like to draw attention to the idea that some hold that those who remember thier past lives are vampyres.


hmmm...

I say you should the past in the past. lilve your life today.

Truly today is the only day you have. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow never comes. Today is all you have. so don't cloud it up with dreams of tomorrow or memories of yesterday.

Never had it happen to me, at least not in a way I actually believe is factual. I've got a quite vivid imagination as well - and too much of what could be interpreted as "idealized".

Well hey there is a hypnotist coming to the place I work in a couple weeks for a show. Maybe then I shall see!

Well when I was in college one of my psych classes we had a hypnotheripist attend. I was put under and I guess made to say and do things. I have also doen it in counseling but it can be tricky and sometimes opening doors in the mind that it has tried hard to close can be very overwhelming.

Nice quote RKeleven makes sense if only people could live there life like that.

I've had experience with this. The group of friends I have now were once a klan long ago. We all found eachother from the contents in our oras.

i have never been hypnotised but i would like to be as im sure there are tons of crazy thoughts in my head.

but im not sure i believe in past lives where is there proof that we have had past lives?

People have tried to hypnotize me but just like some of you it never worked. I've volunteered to be hypnotized and so on but I'd end up making a fool out of the person doing the hypnotizing..it was quite funny and yet it was embarrassing to that person

I've never been hypnotized, but I have met random ppl that I've felt like I've known before... I don't know where I stand on the whole past lives thing though...

I don't believe in the hypnotizing that makes you go into a life regression or mind control. I tink all of that is just fantasy, but Believe it if you want.

I think the reason why you have these during your awakening is becuase you are not entirely in the conscious realm, nor in the subconscious. You are between them in the subastral realm where you are cabable of such things.

I have just started a new Journey in Life and dealing with my Past Lifes... I have also had several OBE experiences... I have never been hypnotized but i am not closed to the idea either... Wicked Kisses and Blessed Be, Darla...

I've never been hypnotized. I have met people that I've felt like I've known before. I'm sure where I stand on the whole past lives thing though.

is it true that while being hypnotized your soal is still aware of whats going on? if thats true then is that the reason that "old soals" can remember their past dealings on earth but when awake the person cnnot?

yet another really interesting thread, thank you, I havent been hypnotised in to past lives but i do get feelings when i have been to places that i have been there before and people aswell, i would love to take part in this type of investigation i would find it fastinating..

I have had some past life regressions in my dreams but thats about it. I can't be hypnotized either.. or at least atttempts up to this point in time have been unsuccessful.

I've been hypnotized before, I think you have to be open to go under, and if you cant there has been a traumatic event that your subconscious won't allow you to recall.

Trauma can indeed block a lot of things. I'm currently researching past life regression for that very reason. Early in my childhood, I used to get nightmares throughout the night. I'm sure my subconscious kicked in, and eventually I just stopped dreaming all together.

I see that as a blockage, and if I can just pinpoint where the nightmares were originating, I figure I might be able to free that block.

The subconscious will block anything you aren't ready to deal with. Or at least mine seems to.

I have never been hypnotized but have thought about it.
Not sure I believe in reincarnation. I was taught that we only live one life then we go to heaven or hell. I think it would be interesting to be hypnotized to see if I really did have a past life and what it was.

I also notice, when being hypnotized and taken back to a previous lifetime......why is it that everyone is either someone important or a friend of someone important?? in comparison to the poor people and nobodies......there are/were very few "important" people. What are the odds? everyone is someone interesting when taken back like that....I think that is how you can tell if a certain instance is credible.

I know its because of my trauma that I cant remember part of my past. I know if I had hypnotherapy it would help, just don't know if I want to know what happened.

It is hard for me to be hypnotized as well... I've had many different people that were trained in hypnotism try several different times in different settings and it never works. I also had a friend suggest that it might not work because this is a new life for me and I don't have any past lives.

Would be interesting to allow more than one different person to "hypnotize" you, see if the results are way different.

I've never been successfully hypnotised but the idea of 'blocks' is interesting as I hate the thought of not being in control. Perhaps my subconsious is protecting me. Saying that, I would love to go through a proper regression process. I get glimpses of my past lives as well as vivid memories but there is always the possibility that, especially with so much information available in modern times, not everything I remember is real.

I was sucessfully hypnotised some years back and enjoyed it throughly. This was not to find a past life nut it was most beneficial. I had my Tarot done a long time ago by a brilliant lady who recommended I read the Celestine Prophecy which is an other worldly book. She worked for a spiritual center that dealt with past life regression and rebirthing experiences. I never followed up on it, but based upon her insight and the way she carried herself I do not doubt its validity.

I think if you want to be hypnotized you will be- but there is such a huge ammount of trust that has to be there. I have never really thought of past lives and if I have them. I've had odd experiences that I labeled as deja vu and recurring dreams.... something else to ponder.

people tried doing the same to me as a child.but I never wanted to be looked at like a lab rat or anything,so they would never get anything out of me becuase i didn't want to do it.but when i slept I saw myself in different lives and forms.

i have somewhat of a hard time believing in being hypnotized for a past life (especially when there are 100 people claiming to be cleopatra) but then you get that one person who tells of how they died of scarlett fever in 1803 and that their name was john smith and they use to be a farmer in Kansas, and when you look into it its true.

I have never gone under with the thought of finding a past life but to recall and deal with an event that happened in my current life. I will say that somethings are best left deep in your mind because reliving tragedy is hard.

I have met people in my life, that I do not know but they feel like a brother or sister to me, like a lost lover or friend. It's almost like you could finish each others sentences or swear you've seen them or met them before some other time. Past life regression could be the cause of this, or your just....really have alot in common with said person.

Sometimes I'll have these memorys that just dont add up, things that happened another time that I dont recall happening in this time. I dont know what to make of it, and I try not to dwell on it too much. lol

I've never been hypnotized or had a past life regression, but when I was very young (like 3 or 4) I told everyone that my name was Luke and that I was a soldier in viet nam. I hadn't been exposed to any of that information previously. Crazy hungh?

My whole childhood is foggy, but the one thing I know I remember was how much I loved the history of ancient Egypt....so much that when I went to the Metropolitan Museum in NYC, I got lost int he Egyptian Dept.....for a long while my mom searched frantically..and couldn't find me...the whole time I was in front of a certain artifact of a childs possessions..a board game and a pair of shoes. I was in tears, in a trance, crying over how it was that my toy had ended up there...all I could remember was playing that game with a boy on the steps of the temple on a hot day before the processions...

a few years later, that little boy turned out to be my first boyfriend, and he remembered this as well.

and a decade later, the name by which I go was confirmed by a friend who knew that past person...and when I went to the Met last year...I found out that the name i go by, Ankhenanset, refers to a certain royality of a pharoahs house with artifacts in the Met.
OK there's more details..I'm trying to shorten it for this thread..

i think it is fake. i have to see it to beleive it. is that wrong to say.

Though I've never been hypnotized, during meditiation one day a woman by the name Chelsie Beuamont claimed that she was the life before me. Maybe it was just my imagination, maybe I'm too skeptical to accept that it was really one of my past lives...

I know some that have been hypnotised and it worked yet I could not be . I believe it is how strong your mind control is. also i believe that your past life that was the strongest is the one most remembers, at least with me that is how it is. the one that carried the strongest energy

i was hypnotized once, but i thought i was the little person stuck in a watch. i would like to learn more about any past lives that i may have had, if any

I do. I have fear of things getting me in the water. I've been told that my most recent past life, I drowned. I simply pieced that with my fear. I feel as though we have to conquer our fears to be able to progress in the next life. I really don't want to re-live this again.~CapriAl

I've had regressions that worked, and I've also had the expiriences where they just come back to me. Certain smells and sights bring them back to me. When I met a friend of mine, it was like I'd known him forever and the first time I hugged him I had a vision of my past. Sometimes they happen randomly and I'm not sure what sets them off, but its usually when I'm with certain people that they come.

my cousin tired to hypnotize me and my other cousin. it didn't work with me, but it did with my cousin. he began saying that he was a noble and was talkimg with a weird accent he never had befor. it was weird.
well, i've never actually been able to recover my past lives. i've only seen parts in my dreams. i have however been able to tell others about there past lives. not much though. i meet some poeple and it's like dejafu. i felt that i already knew them and it was easy to get to know them in the present.

I would love to be hypnotised to find out more about my past lives think it would be interesting to find out. I always saw a blockage as being a higher powers way of saying you don't need to know anymore about that right now or if ever.

What I find interesting about knowing some of my friends in this life is that exact feeling of 'being so comfy' of also at times, tho rare, remembering past life memories that totally coincide with one anothers, yet we in most cases had never shared the memories before, never clued one another in...that to me is special, that you can have that link.

I am currently going thru a big scene that has alot do do with several past lives and this one, a friends of mine, Doreen, is doing reiki on my other close friend, Jared, who's sick and possibly dying of Lupus...we all knew each other in past lives, and it is her belief that his lupus and various ills are a result of him trying to curse me in one life, and that I bounced it off me and placed it back at him. In this life, we are atoning, healing, and forgiving these issues...
tho I may be slightly skeptical of reiki, i have witnessed with my own eyes some odd things while wathcing their session, and if it helps him, I would do anything to make him better...however, if I thought something was bs I would speak out.

He is apparently going thru lucid dreams and waking memory recalls of these lives now, and is meditating on alot of what he might've done karmicly to bring about his present illness.

The way I see it Past life regression doesn't exactly prove reincarnation. The human mind picks up bits and pieces of text which it collects and remembers even though consciously we can't recall it.

Under hypnotism the Mind could just as well recall certain things and fabricate a story that would be to some level factual because of the recalling of the unremembered items. It doesn't mean you actually existed in the past in the roles you have spoken of during that stimuli.

i have never had any roblems with hypnosis and anyone can go into see there own past lives without someone hypnotizing you.... there are many books on the subject and how to do it yourself say to speak......but i do agree with billy on the aspect of if youve got a block up there is a reason why..... and when its time you are capable of handeling it the block will go away.......that there is reasons why our minds block things out ........

is it possible that the other people have had ideas about non existant past lives slipped in while under hypnosis and your mind is not allowing for that

I have never had a waking experience...but I was hypnotized once and had a regression. It was just wierd...and I'd rather not talk about what I saw. I will say though, that I do believe that it's real...

trying to repress past lkife stuff is hard, but, your soul only remembers the purest of all things!

I cant be hypnotize its impossible, but still even so I must say without being rude that I dont beleive in past life therefore it would not really be useful, maybe to help release or free some supress memories but still since I am non-hypnotizable (is that even a word? lol) I guess we'll never find out.

I personally, have never participated in a regression session... but I do recall many past lives through way of reaccuring dreams... I can always tell the dreams from the lives by the vividness and reaccurance. Sometimes it can be enlightning and sometimes it can be a bit of hell.

There have been places that I have been drawn too, and strange places that I have felt that I have been there before. I really don't knpw if I want to really know about my past lives. I guess I love mystery.

At a early age i learned not to able such events as just De'ja'vu for they were to frequent and much to the heart of home. I came to learn that they were rememberance of a past life. One that I had come back to correct or learn what I did wrong in the other. So yes I have had those waken gifts

I too feel very different emotions and memories as a child. The greatest conflict for me came when I moved to the States and had to be just American.
I think that much of our recalling former events are gifts to help us in the here and now.

I've never been hypnotized but ever since I can remember I've had dreams and memories from another life that left me a bit dramatized because when it started to reach the point of my early death, I felt everything as if I was reliving it. I’ve thought about being hypnotized to recall a few more things or details but a part of me doesn’t want to know anymore, the memories that I have are painful enough.

I believe in hypnosis. and I believe in past lives regression. you would need to know someone in the field that could lead to someone reputable. Such as BillytheJust has done.

i belive you can. when i was a child i was have problems with my emotions to the point my mother had me go to a shrink after a few sessions he temped to put me under when i awoke he explaned to my family i knew thing i shouldn't know i could resite things in history that was long before my time. the events i spoke of were writen but wasnt released to public books dating back 250 years describing in full detail what was happening around me and so on my family fearing what this could mean paid the shrink to not release the info to anyone and basicly bought the file i found it on my 18th birthday after my father had died .so yes i belive you do block memories .

Well i just have to say to all you people who say "I have never been Hypnotized"

YOU HAVE!
Ill try to keep this short,Have you ever been watching a film or reading a book...and people are talking to you and you dont here them?Maybe driving a car and you forget going through the that village or driving past that service station.
Well that is a form of trance,Hypnosis is a form of trance or some Hypnotherapists may say sleep.
It does work,however you can only be hypnotized by a therapist if you want to.It is not possible to Hypnotize anyone unless they are willing. I am led to believe that only people with a very low IQ are unable to be Hypnotized...
A smoker will only give up smoking if he or she wants to wether theve been to see a therapist or not!
The therapist only guides and gives you suggestions maybe using NLP as well, the client is the person who does the work.
A little bit of history for you all.

James Esdaile in and around 1837 did 300 major operations using Hypnosis some of them amputations.His suscess rate was 95%,whereas surgical mortality was around 40%

I find this very interesting

I believe you can .... I know for me... I have blocks or walls up that won't let me right now... so for me , I'm not ready to know all of my past life/past lives.... I have to agree with Billy on this ..

I have heard that the past life regretions if done proper are quite effective. I have thought about participating in one just to see what it would be like.
