Past Life Therapy is gaining popularity with those looking for solutions to present problems


Ever had that sense of déjà vu: The feeling of being somewhere and having done something, but you cannot remember it clearly? It is a feeling that may occur in the present, but is clearly linked to our past.

Indians are fascinated with the past. It is an intrinsic part of our culture — the concept of rebirth. In the script, Jataka Tales, Gautam Buddha explains concepts such as rebirth; the secrets of which he discovered through his own enlightenment.

Dr Jyotika Chhibber, Past Life Regression therapist and founder-owner of The Light of Life Institute, explains the concept of past life: “Our mind is basically divided into two main parts: Conscious and Sub-conscious. Most of our memories — good and bad — of previous lives are buried in our Sub-conscious mind. The bad memories could cause problems in our present life.”

Past Life Therapy (PLT) deals with eliminating those negative emotions that are attached to negative memories. It is about understanding those inexplicable medical and relationship issues, and providing solutions for them. This is done by regressing into one’s past life. An important fact to remember is that it is possible to regress into more than one past life. 

Swati Prakash, Tarot and Past Life therapist, and MD in alternative medicine, says, “The root cause of all our tension, fears, and problems originates in our previous lives, and PLT helps address the root cause. Our past life provides the blueprint for what we do in this, and future lives.”

For Dr Neeta Yuvraj, a former homoeopath-turned-past-life-therapist and, founder of the International Academy of Life, PLT is a way of healing, as the body discards the artificial pain of the past lives. She adds: “At the end of one’s past life, the soul meets the source [the higher life]. We help the patients talk to the source, and find out what ails them.”

PLT is usually induced through hypnosis — although deep spiritual meditation, breathing techniques, bridging techniques, yoga, and certain reiki techniques, can be used. It involves allowing the patient to regress into their past life. The entire process begins with getting to know the patients and their history.

Nilima Kolsawala sought out PLT as a means of coping with her sudden bouts of loneliness. She says, “I used to get these bouts of loneliness, usually in the afternoon. I would be fine the entire day, and then suddenly I would feel lonely.” She turned to PLT, which revealed: “In one of my past lives, I was a very rich girl and had lots of servants taking care of me. However, when I was dying, there was no one with me. This is what used to make me lonely.” According to Kolsawa, PLT not only healed her, but also helped her find her life’s calling: Nilima has been a practicing therapist for the last two years.

The healing process usually requires four to five sessions, but depends on various factors. A typical two-hour session costs between Rs1,000 and Rs1,500. 

Although it is advisable to visit a specialist for PLT, Prakash believes that anyone with sufficient experience in spiritual meditation can attempt it.  Dr Chhibber, however, disapproves of DIY PLT.

“While viewing past lives, a client can at times experience abreactions [Sub-conscious reactions] and may need skilled help. Some clients relive the trauma of their past life while viewing it, and this is when they need to be guided to an observation mode,” she says.
