It is at the end of a past life regression workshop where a young man gets up to speak at the microphone. He narrates the incident of how he was declared dead at the hospital. The tubes have been removed and his wife was busy informing their relatives. It might have been about 10 minutes later, when the doctors discovered a sudden movement and the man opened his eyes wide and smiled to everyone’s astonishment!
And what was his experience in those few minutes that to him seemed like a long time? Well, he told the audience that was listening without missing a word, “I was walking and it was as if through a wide road. There were hundreds of people on either side waving their hands and welcoming me. As I looked around, there was a saint who knocked me on my head and said, now is not your time, get back! And soon I was back in my body and woke up in the hospital!”
This is nothing but a real life narrative of a death experience. Past life regression is a science today and with many medical doctors such as Brian Weiss, MD, studying it deeply and backed by research and documentation, this is no longer in the realms of the mystic mind alone. In Many Lives Many Masters, Dr Weiss narrates the insight of his patient Catherine, whose memories of a lifetime incident several thousand years ago helped her get rid of her phobia in the present.
Newton Kondavetti, MD, from Andhra Pradesh who along with his wife Dr. Lakshmi and others founded the Life Research Academy at Hyderabad has conducted numerous past life regression sessions and even trains people to conduct past life regression therapy. “Reliving is relieving,” he often reiterates in his workshops where there are different sessions to go into past lives to heal the trauma one faces in the present.
The Institute for the Integration of Science, Intuition and Spirit conducts research on reincarnation, past life regression and psychic phenomena. It has shown that people carry the same facial features, personal qualities, abilities and interests over many lives.
