Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), often called Emotional Freedom Therapy or tapping, is a technique that combines elements of cognitive therapy and exposure therapy with acupressure in the form of fingertip tapping on specific meridian points on the body. It was developed by Gary Craig in the 1990s and has gained popularity for its simplicity and accessibility.
Past Life Regression Therapy
Past Life Regression is a technique that involves guided hypnosis or deep relaxation to help individuals access what they believe are memories of previous lifetimes. It’s based on the idea of reincarnation — the belief that the soul lives many lives — and that unresolved experiences or trauma from those lives might influence your current life emotionally, mentally, or physically.
How It Works:
- A trained practitioner (often a hypnotherapist) guides you into a deeply relaxed, meditative, or hypnotic state. In this state, you may experience:
- Visualizations or sensations of different times, places, or people.
- Emotions or physical feelings linked to those experiences.
- A narrative or sequence of events that feels like a past life story.
- The goal is often to uncover patterns, emotional blockages, or unresolved issues that may be affecting you today.
- Why People Explore Past Life Regression:
Emotional healing: Unexplained fears, phobias, or chronic emotional pain. - Physical symptoms: Unexplained body pain with no medical origin.
- Relationship dynamics: Patterns that feel “old” or deeply rooted.
- Curiosity or spiritual growth: A desire to understand one's soul journey or life purpose.
Therapeutic Viewpoint:
From a therapeutic perspective, whether the past life imagery is “real” or symbolic doesn’t necessarily matter. What’s important is that it can give voice to subconscious material — much like dreamwork or storytelling in therapy. It can be a meaningful way to:
- Process emotions
- Gain insight
- Reframe inner conflicts
