Reliving Past Lives (scientific research)

In Reliving Past Lives, psychologist Dr. Helen Wambach, Ph.D., shares the fascinating results of her scientific research, a large-scale past life group hypnotherapy regression sessions.

Wheel: Bhavachakra thangka explained

In an effort to rule out wishful thinking, false reports, clouded memories, and self-aggrandizing fantasies often associated with past life hypnosis reports, Dr. Wambach devised a rigorous protocol.

She chose time-specific periods from 2000 BC to the 20th century and asked hypnotically regressed respondents where they were and what they were doing during that specific period.

Race, social class, occupation, types of money used, and gender were all explored. Mundane questions were asked such as:

• "What types of utensils are being used?"
• "Describe weaving techniques that are being used."
• "What foodstuffs are commonly in use during this time?"
• "What color is the brickwork of the houses?"

With meditation we can see karma and rebirth

When taken to a specific time period, some respondents reported experiences while others did not, prompting the question, Did they report nothing because they were between lives?

Dr. Wambach reasoned that if she asked a large number of subjects questions about a specific time and place and received a sizable percentage of similar answers from subjects who weren't consciously aware of the information they or others were reporting, that was objective scientific data worth investigating further.

Together with her book, Life before Life, the data is compelling reading for anyone contemplating the validity of rebirth, reincarnation, and life beyond physical death. More
