And every story has a history.

And now let's introduce today's podcast or guest.

2:28

Welcome to this episode, where we journey deep into the fascinating world of past life regression with my special guest, Paul Goddard.

Paul is a highly respected clinical hypnotherapist and Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming.

2:46

You may have seen his work featured in the 14 Times or heard him on local BBC Radio.

He's even made appearances on the popular paranormal show Help My House is Haunted.

Most recently, Paul has been working as a hypnotherapist for the upcoming documentary Fey Folk, a search for connection further cementing his reputation in the field.

3:12

In today's episode, we'll delve into the intriguing practice of past life regression, exploring what it involves and how it works.

Paul will guide us through what you might experience during a regression, how to prepare, and share some compelling case examples.

3:30

We'll also discuss who can benefit from this practice and why it's become such a powerful tool for many seeking healing and insight.

So whether you're curious about reincarnation or perhaps even considering a regression yourself, stay tuned.

3:49

We're about to step through a door into realms where time bends and past lives are just a breath away.

Hi there, Paul.

Thank you so much for joining me this evening.

Michelle, it's a pleasure to be on your show tonight and thank you so much for inviting me.

4:11

I'm honestly very much looking forward to to this conversation.

I think it's going to be a really interesting discussion and one where you know you're able to give your perspective and thoughts on on what's happening and also the process.

Before we kind of get into the meat of that though, do you want to just say a little bit about yourself and your background to introduce yourself to the listeners?

4:32

Of course.

So I'm a clinical hypnotherapist and a master practitioner of something called NLP, which is neuro Linguistic programming.

I think a lot of people have got a fair idea of what hypnosis and hypnotherapy is, but NLP is a bit of confusion with a lot of people.

4:51

Still, whenever I go into a bookshop and ask if there's any books on NLP, they often put me in contact and point me in the direction of the computer programming.

So NLP stands for neuro.

So that's your, your not just your mind, but heal your whole neurological system.

5:08

Linguistics.

So that's the language that we use and the language that we communicate with and the word program.

So it, it looks at how you communicate with others, how you communicate with yourself.

And we are like computer problems that if you are unhappy with the computer program that you are currently running, you can change that software with the inside yourself by it's not just NLP techniques.

5:34

It goes way, way deeper than that, how the practitioner speaks to the client.

But it's important to remember as well that also as well we have programs that we run automatically anyway.

If you think about it, lots of us just tie our shoes and we don't need to think about it.

5:53

When we were children, we had to learn and kind of remember and make mistakes.

So again, we run programs because it's easier to do so and each of us will consciously take on between 5:00 and 9:00 bits of information at any one time.

So it also goes into how somebody runs the programs to whether they get the results they want in life and results they don't want in life.

6:15

So that's a little bit what I do.

And I guess the background of it comes from, I've always has a fascination with being the best that anybody could be.

And I was at school often a dreamer.

6:32

I would often go into Daydream.

So if there was an airplane in the sky, I'd be looking out the window and then all of a sudden I was forgetting what the teacher was saying, which is not a good thing when you hit school and I'll be in the airplane and creating all these sorts of adventures in my head.

I guess a little bit like Walter Mitty really, which is brilliant as a hypnotherapist because you, it often uses a lot of your subconscious mind and, and metaphors.

6:56

But I, I started off because I wanted to get into NLP, neuro linguistic programming.

And it came from a book initially.

But I'm going to go back a little bit on the clock because when I was younger, I used to enjoy programs on television like the hypnotic world of Paul McKenna, where he would get people to do all sorts of fun and crazy things on on the stage.

7:20

And I was totally fascinated with the mind as a child.

So one Christmas my parents got me Sensational Snooker by Paul McKenna.

So that was using NLP and hypnosis to improve the game.

And it did help me improve my snooker game.

7:36

But if anybody plays snooker with me now, they realize I haven't listened to that cassette that was given for a very long time.

But I also used hypnosis for exam confidence and I'd kind of then forgot about it, the hypnosis side of things, for quite a long period of time until I was on a family holiday.

8:00

And I was not a family holiday because my dad was quite unwell with cancer and there was a book, Paul McKenna Change Your Life in Seven Days.

And at the time I really wanted to get into nightclub DJ and radio broadcasting.

8:15

I did have some success in the nightclub DJ, but I was kind of held back from the big nightclubs, the ones in London like Ministry of Sandal.

My biggest goal would be I'd go try beef them playing caftimar because of my favorite ejection.

8:33

And when I started looking into the NLP, looking into hypnosis, I started to think this is what I really want to do with my life.

Because when you're DJ ING, as much fun as it is and music is still a big part of my life, it's happiness for one night rather than happiness that can last a lifetime.

8:54

And it was through my dad becoming unwell with cancer that he started listening to some self hypnosis CDs and it really made a big positive difference in his life.

He was actually begin to get some movement back where he lost it through to the due to the cancer.

9:11

Unfortunately he did pass away through the cancer, but he was so positive throughout and when he was in hospital, a lot of the doctors maybe say less of the doctors, but a lot of the like nurses and other staff would come in and start sort of talking to him.

9:29

And my dad almost became like a little bit of a counselor whilst he was in hospital.

And I kind of thought, you know, if that can bring so much joy and happiness to someone who was in quite an unwell state in their life.

I thought that's what I really want to do is because I've always had the fascination with the mind and I really want everybody, myself and everybody to achieve their potential.

9:55

And we'll probably get a little later how I got into past life regressions with that.

That's kind of a rather long answer, I'm afraid, but I hope that's all good.

No, but I think it, I think it makes it really clear as to, you know, what you, what you're trying to bring and what this can offer someone.

10:12

And you know, speaking from experience, my brother's fiance was involved in a very, very serious horse riding accident two, 2 1/2 years ago now.

And she was rushed into emergency surgery after the first few hours after that incident, after that fall, because she needed emergency brain surgery and they removed half of her skull cap and she was in a coma for several weeks.

10:37

Coming out of that was very traumatic.

There were, there was lots of work to do in terms of regaining the ability, relearning the ability to do things.

And of course she was processing lots of very strange memories around it, very strange memories from being in the coma.

10:56

And it was really, really difficult for her.

And once she'd gone through some of that initial recovery, obviously she had a regular counsellor as part of that therapeutic process and, you know, a physical therapist as part of that process to heal.

11:14

But one of the things that really truly did help her was first of all, self hypnosis, whereby she would use it to help her sleep better, feel more in control of her emotions, which were very much up and down at the time, again because of brain injury.

11:31

And of course, it eventually LED her to actually seek out past life regression, which again, we're going to come to as part of that healing process again, to help her understand various things that were coming up at this time.

And it made such a difference for her to have these techniques to fall back on that supported, you know, the clinical counselling that she was receiving and all of the other things that were coming her way as part of that healing process.

12:00

And you know, as I say, I can only speak very highly of the support that it gave her as part of that healing process.

It was, it was brilliant.

That's that's amazing.

I am a great believer in the power of self hypnosis and it's great that she took up the self hypnosis route as well.

12:20

It helped with so many things.

I mean, she had problems remembering things, so at the time she would have a few tasks that would be written down for the morning and a few tasks she had to accomplish for the afternoon.

That was incredibly difficult.

She would forget to do things like feed the dog unless it was written down on the piece of paper.

12:38

But again, these self hypnosis things that she was doing helped to strengthen that ability to focus, stay on task, to recall the things that she had to do so that it didn't feel like she was failing at it, which was the main thing she felt all of the time.

12:55

She felt like she was failing at the simplest things to remember, the simplest things to do the simplest things, and this really gave her the confidence and the ability to focus, which just helped her get back onto her feet during again what was a very difficult period of transition for her.

13:14

No, I'm really pleased to hear that.

And you know, people are often drawn to hypnosis, self hypnosis, or it's not a route I've gone down, but the CBT, cognitive, cognitive behavior therapy, it's not a route that I've gone down, but I've known a lot of people have had tremendous success with that as well.

13:33

But people come to it after they've had problems.

And it's like people think I've got to do something about this now.

And I often wonder how much improved people's lives could potentially be if during the school, in just a little bit of positive mental rehearsal, positive affirmations or some relaxation techniques could do for children if you just put 10 minutes into the morning routine.

14:00

Because schools are there to create the children that have when they're adults so that they're there to live and have a great time in society.

And just if you added just that little bit of some other self hypnosis, little bit of NLP or CBT or whatever it is, I think that would make such a huge difference to children as they're growing up and go into adulthood.

14:25

Particularly that stage when they're teenagers, because so many teenagers find that quite a difficult time.

Paul, you're speaking to my heart right now.

My, my day job as a, as a teacher.

I, I'm, I was a deputy head teacher for a number of years and I used to build it into my classroom routine.

14:46

So we, we used to do yoga weekly, which was just 5-10 minutes here or there that we could kind of squeeze into our day.

That would also be part of that process where we would start with some kind of self meditation, relax, you know, relaxation techniques and we would do that as part of 5-10 minute yoga.

15:07

But we would do it before, you know, the year 6 dreaded sats.

We would do it before the start of each day, you know, kind of around that registration time, just 5-10 minutes, you know, a tiny window of time of the day made such a difference to each.

15:25

Either just settle everyone into the day or finish off the day in a really calming manner or for particular events that were coming up.

And yeah, it was, it was definitely something that I've always tried to do.

It's, it can make such a difference, especially when we know that, you know, with everything that's been going on recently with COVID, etcetera, it's sometimes very necessary as well.

15:50

You know, children pick up on everything around them.

And this is just a way to to kind of break some of those barriers that those types of events cause for some children.

I think so, yeah, you are speaking to my heart.

I agree with you.

It should be part of the curriculum.

16:06

Wonderful.

And what is and it was a point that you said as well.

It doesn't have to be huge amount of time that you spend doing this.

You know, we clean our teeth each and every day to stop tooth decay.

You know, morning and night is what we're recommended to do now and the correct things like flossing the teeth as well.

16:28

And that's just a little bit of time.

So I often say to people that think of it like that and you're stopping instead of tooth decay, you're stopping the decay in yourself esteem, you're stopping the decay in your, your confidence is no longer shrinking because you're just doing these little things regularly.

16:44

But it's, it's enough.

And over time, like a dripping tap on, on a stone, you'll just wear away and create that groove, create those new neural pathways, wiring and firing together.

So I, I, I think that's absolutely wonderful that you did that with your children at school.

17:05

So how did you coming back to something that you you mentioned briefly earlier, how did you first then become interested in past life regression alongside this?

When I first took up NLP and hypnotherapy, although I was and favour occasionally now but very occasionally a paranormal investigator, surprisingly I didn't put the two together at that stage.

17:33

I just really wanted to help other people because I knew these tools, techniques and the self hypnosis made an improvement for me.

And I think the seed though might have been planted even though that I wasn't thinking about going down that route to begin with.

17:50

During that fantastic programme presented by Michael Asborne on ITV called Strange But True.

And I still have great fond memories of that program.

Strange But True.

And some of the programmes would be about the usual sort of paranormal UFOs, cryptids, haunted places, etcetera, time slips, but they'd also have some on reincarnation and past lives.

18:16

And I think the seeds was beginning to implant itself then at that stage particularly as well.

Sometimes they would have a very positive outcome to these past life stories that they would say on on Strange but true.

So I think whenever there was a program about reincarnation and anything about the panel, I would go to it straight away.

18:37

But it wasn't really until I took a lest your training Doctor, Raymond Roberts, who is the trainer of Celestial Training, he just did the classic hypnotherapy.

But during the intensive workshop, there was a space for learning regressions and past life regressions.

18:59

And I thought, well, this is this is really interesting.

I got quite fascinated and not long after I got my certificate, which was in 2010, I was on a panel investigation and the organizer of the paranormal investigation.

19:15

It was, it was teams, but because it was an expensive location, you know, there were lots of different teams part of it.

And anyways, ever been on the paranormal investigation?

When we see paranormal investigations on television, it's a whole night cut down to 45 minutes.

19:31

When you're doing the paranormal investigation in reality, you're sitting in the quiet and it can be quite boring at times.

And I thought that the past life aggressions might be something that would interest a few people.

So when I was on that panel investigation, I asked the person who the main organizer of this event, you know, would you mind if I just demonstrated some past life aggressions because I've recently got a certificate in hypnotherapy.

19:59

And she said yes.

And then I.

Was just expect to have a few people I suddenly had an audience in on this paranormal investigation and three different people that I did a brief short past life progression on and it was my good friend Lynn Sundry was also on the investigation.

20:18

Lynn Sundry also lives in Gloucester and she got very well known in the paranormal field and she did Gloucester ghost walks.

I was originally part of of the Gloucester Ghost walks with her, but I stop doing that because I want to put all my concentration into my hypnotherapy and then I'll pee.

20:36

But she runs events and booked me for one of her events and then other people saw me doing these events and booked me for some more events.

So it kind of sort of snowboarded a snow.

It started to snowball and it wasn't really until I guess the second lockdown where because I was always doing both hypnotherapy and past life aggression, but I really got well known for the past life aggressions from not just Lynn Syndra, but a few other people recommended me to Jane Harris HD Paranormal and help My house is haunted that during the lockdowns, I do a online progression session with her and I had tested this out beforehand to make sure I had does work online.

21:22

And I I think from then lots of other streamers said, Oh, can can we get you on our stream then?

So I started to get quite well known at that point for the the past life aggression.

So that's how it started.

But the more I do of the past life aggressions, the more, more interesting I find it, the more, more, more questions I have funny and have rather than answers.

21:43

But I think that's what's so great about it is that sometimes having that bit of mystery in life is, is really good.

But whatever, whatever people's personal beliefs around reincarnation and past life aggressions, it can be incredibly healing both physically and mentally for the client.

22:02

So how would you?

Define exactly what past life regression is then so.

Past Life Aggressions Is using hypnotherapy putting somebody in a hypnotic trance?

22:17

And there's lots of different ways you can take somebody into hypnosis, but once they're in hypnosis, you then plant the suggestion that they'll go back to a life that they've lived before this one.

That's really the only suggestion that I will put in because it's very important that probably get into later that it's much more important that the hypnotherapist will guide their client rather than lead the client because you know, you can, you can implant suggestions as well.

22:50

So you have to be very careful.

I'm very careful the way I ask the questions.

I take somebody into hypnosis and there's various different methods of getting somebody through to a past life.

My preferred method is taking them to a corridor.

23:07

Once they're in hypnosis that they've created, their subconscious mind is created.

And in this corridor, there are doors leading off to either side.

And each of these doors, I tell them will lead to an experience of a life that they've lived before this one.

And then when they go through the door, they'll be looking at their own body, at their own eyes and experiencing the regression.

23:29

And also tell people as well, if you don't know the answer, it's fine to say I don't know because the last thing I want anyways doing hypnosis is really try, really try, really try to get an answer for saying if they don't know and then bring themselves out of hypnosis what you will hear.

23:45

Next is Paul leading a client through a past life regression in this case.

Richard.

Felix.

During the remaining.

Podcast, you'll have the chance to listen to other short clips from other past life regressions from other clients.

I've got codes, so more than one code and.

24:08

I just want the.

Journey to end.

OK, tell me why you?

Want the journey to end so.

Cold.

So cold, so uncomfortable.

I'm not alone.

24:25

There's someone else.

Someone else sat on the back.

I.

Don't know why.

Who?

They're all wrapped up as well.

Everyone's wrapped up.

There's luggage on top, lots of luggage on top.

24:43

And there's people on.

Top as well, holding on for dear life.

It doesn't even seem.

To have any suspension.

Yeah, I'm cold.

I'm fed up, I'm uncomfortable and it's not the first time I've done it.

25:06

I've done it before.

I've done it all my life.

Not all my life, all my working life.

And just tell me why you do this.

Why do you do this?

Journey Money.

Money.

Money.

It's a job.

It's a well, a.

25:22

Reasonably well paid job for the time it's a profession.

What?

I'm saying is I?

Don't know why I'm saying this.

Very good tell.

Tell me about this profession that you do.

25:42

It's like.

It's like a bouncer.

It's not a bouncer, it's a guard.

I'm I'm.

Guarding it, I'm there guarding it.

I'm.

Guarding the coach.

That's why I've got.

26:00

A.

Blunderbuss very good.

And it's.

And it's loaded.

Of course.

Have you ever had to use it?

Only in practice.

26:20

Practice practicing in case anything happens.

Wonderful in case.

We get robbed, therefore to stop it and tell me a little.

26:38

Bit about how you practice what What do you do to practice on the bus?

Do you have to do?

Fire.

Fire at anything that.

Because you can hit.

It spreads like a shotgun, but it's not a shotgun and it spreads.

26:56

So really you could even practice just firing as a tree, because you're obviously supposed to be firing at a person, A man firing trees, firing at anything else ajar.

You can always hit it because it spreads, so it can be.

27:19

Used through that, so some people will phone me up or somebody who does streaming services, they'll phone me up and say you know, or message me.

I'd like to do a past life aggression.

And those particular ones, when I'm doing the past life aggression for an audience, it tends to be more gaining information so people can look online and see if anything tallies up what they can find factually.

27:47

So I'd be asking things like what street is your house in?

If they go to church, what's the name of the church, etcetera.

And I'm always careful that I say allow them to move forward and not plant sources, suggestions and implanting a suggestion would be like, you know, if there's a boat and it's rough and it's choppy and it looks like the boat's going to sink, I don't ask the question, is this where you drown?

28:10

Because that's leading question.

I'll just ask people to go forward in time to a couple of hours or the next day.

And sometimes they survive and get to London, think they've been very lucky.

Other times, for example, they would have drowned in that moment.

28:25

And quite often what happens is they will say at that point, I can't see anything that tends to be that the go to what people say once they've passed over in that lifetime.

So I'll then take them back.

And I think it's important for somebody to experience as much of the whole life as possible, including the death experience.

28:44

But I'm always very careful how I do that.

So you don't have people that find it too, too shocked.

I'm always watching people and making sure that everything's OK and then add the healing in if possible.

So you've got the people that come to you, they're in hypnosis and they're wanting facts, figures, dates, because they want to do a bit of research themselves.

29:03

But you also get the other people that come to you for other a regression or a past life aggression to see where their fear comes from.

Because consciously in this life, they cannot think of anything where or why they should be fearful of water or why they're so fearful of speaking up to people.

29:24

And quite often with that, when you go to a past life, there's a reason in that life why they're fearful or have a stuck state in this life.

And I always make sure when people come to me that I ask them, what would you like to get out of this session?

29:41

Because if it's for healing, they might not necessarily want to know the name of their church, name of the street they grew up in.

Just get to the moments in the lifetime which might well affect them in their future lifetime.

Then once it's all completed, the lifetime is, is is finished.

29:59

I've asked the appropriate questions.

I've checked to make sure if it's for healing, there's no other lives where something has created the trauma in the past life that can impact them in this life.

And then I'll do a healing process while somebody is in hypnosis.

30:16

And that can be if say they were shot in the past life, you make sure that they're having healing done in the life between lives so that some people may have like pains in their chests or some people may get headaches from a past life trauma or someone may have a fear of speaking up because of how they were treated in the past life.

30:41

And you make sure that's all clear and then ask if they're ready to come out of hypnosis.

And then I'll bring them out of hypnosis.

And the whole time I make sure that I record, video record mic people up so they've got the best possible sound quality so they can really hear everything that's being said.

30:59

Always make sure I get a lapel mic on someone when they come to me because a lot of people in the hypnosis can speak very quietly.

And if you haven't got a microphone close up to them, it's like what do they say in here?

So I make sure that they can hear everything back because although I do in hypnosis at the very end, implant suggestions, they remember everything in the past life aggression with crystal clear clarity.

31:24

There can be a trans amnesia that can happen, so I don't want somebody to come to me and then afterwards say I can't remember anything about that.

Most people will remember, but there might be the odd little bits and pieces that they can't quite put together, and you want somebody to remember it correctly rather than incorrectly.

31:42

So you mentioned.

Kind of a little while ago about, you know, the different beliefs that people might have around past lives.

And I, I imagine that you also kind of see that expressed amongst the, the clients that come to you, just different, different beliefs around past lives and, and what that could mean for them.

32:05

What?

Would you say?

Are some of the the common beliefs then that you see?

Most people.

That come to me are.

Either quite.

Spiritual or fascinated in past lives, I do have some people who are skeptical sometimes that just want to come along and see what it's all about.

32:26

Not many people come to me that have a particular say, Buddhist philosophy or a Hindu philosophy.

And when somebody's in hypnosis, I will just ask them to move forward and go backwards because I really try and disassociate people's beliefs from what they're they're getting in hypnosis because I don't want people to be LED in hypnosis.

32:55

I think a lot of people believe there might be something in it.

And you sometimes get, I sometimes get clients that say I just have a feeling that I lived before in this particular time.

But you know, I tend to find that apart from being spiritually open, a lot of people don't tend to have a particular fixed belief.

33:16

There's also things like soul mates and twin flames within past lives, but I rather that come from the client rather than it being that it's what people have been told because it's, it's so easy to lead someone in hypnosis.

33:33

So if I was to sort of ask, you know, and, and is anybody in there your soul mate, you know it, you're then implanting the suggestion.

So I'd much prefer that comes out through the individual rather than me plant.

Any suggestions?

So what then?

33:48

Do you think could be going on when someone experiences a regression?

I know what.

I'm pretty sure isn't, and I'm pretty sure it's not fraud.

And the reason why I'm pretty sure it's not fraud because a lot of people have some vague, either compelling or interesting past lives.

34:06

And apart from the few that you see online, most of my clients don't want to show the footage to even their close friends or family.

They just want to have the experience purely for themselves and I find it very.

34:25

Hard to believe that.

Anybody would want to come to me to pay me for it to go ABS no further.

I would like to personally think there is such a thing as reincarnation, but I think it's very important that every single client that comes to me, I respect their own beliefs on what they think might be going on.

34:45

And during my talks and various other podcasts and times I've been live on YouTube, I've explained some of the processes and thinking what Dr. Ian Stevenson had.

Dr. Ian Stevenson was a man who went around the world investigating children with spontaneous past life claims.

35:05

So they're the children that might have said before I was big I lived here, or I used to live next to sea, or when I was older and you were the parent, those sorts of things.

So he also looked into the possibility whether it could be just fantasy.

I tend to personally think on a level for me that it is not so much fantasy, but maybe it could be a metaphor to help someone get from a stuck state.

35:30

Side 6.

The subconscious mind likes to work in metaphors.

There is also the possibility that it could be Cryptonesia, which is hidden memories.

So that could be they've watched the program quite many years ago, many, many years ago, as possibly even a child had been told something at school, read it in the book consciously they've forgotten about it, but their subconscious mind remembers what is going on.

35:54

It remembers these stories, remembers these lessons from school.

And then under hypnosis, they create a story with what they've been told in the past.

So I always make sure when anybody's in hypnosis, I won't say anything like I have heard some therapist say.

36:11

What you experience here you would have not read in the book, not been told at school.

Because if I told people not to think of an elephant and you know, and just repeated that a few times, I'd be pretty surprised if anybody wasn't thinking about an elephant just because I'm mentioning mentioning it.

36:28

So there's the Cryptanesia, which could be hidden memories, there's a possibility of Paranesia and that's why which is crediting more evidence to what they've experienced and is actually there.

So I make sure when anybody's in hypnosis, I record the the session so they can play it back.

36:45

As I said earlier, one of the fascinating possibilities of what it could also be is saying called genetic or cellular memory.

So that is that through the bloodline, the gene line, people are remembering at certain things from past life.

37:01

This way that's come down the family line.

We know that cellular memory can work or the possibility of it working because one of the stories that I've looked into is that of a female who was terrified of heights.

She received the lungs of a mountain climber and from receiving the lungs of a mountain climber, lost a fear of heights and actually became a mountain climber herself.

37:26

So it could potentially be that if it is reincarnation, then there's also the thought and belief as well that the soul can interact with the cell memories and that's why it's coming into your mind that particular way.

That's that's another theory of possibility, ESP if we're looking at alternatives in what it could be going on with reincarnation.

37:51

So extrasensory perception is that that somebody is just kind of tapped into the field and coming up with a life that's lived before, even if it's not particularly their one.

Or possibly it could be some form of channelling going on.

Ian Stevenson did look at the possibility of it being that the child potentially could be possessed.

38:13

I'd never say anybody gets possessed when they're in hypnosis, But as I said, perhaps some sort of channelling going on.

But Ian Stevenson, although he only looked into children with spontaneous past life claims he didn't really look into the hypnotic past lives.

He was thinking that past life progressions is a very compelling in some of these cases theory or understand what could be going on with these children.

38:38

But it's not the only possibility of what could be going on.

So I do have my beliefs what could be going on.

But for me, I always think it's incredibly important that the person that you'll hypnotize in, they're the person that you've got to respect.

So I respect whatever belief they come up with, whatever is happening in the session and you provided.

38:58

A really comprehensive list there of some really fascinating concepts and ideas that could be at play here and again.

I think it.

Is I think it's intriguing to to kind of be made aware of those because each one of them, I think is as compelling and as rational as as the next explanation hitting kind of home on one of those that you raised the, the idea of cellular memory.

39:22

We see that in animals, you know, there's butterflies that will travel huge distances and during that, that travelling process will will pass away.

The new butterflies that are produced on route who've never made this journey somehow get to the other end and end up where they're supposed to be.

39:41

And you know, I remember watching a documentary around around seeing that that was presented by Stephen Fry, who was talking about cellular memory.

Is this something being passed through the bloodline that is just instinctively then known so that they can carry on and do it for themselves?

39:59

It's I mean, it's fascinating.

And that's just one aspect that could potentially be an explanation of what we might be seeing here.

But each, like you said, are just really intriguing to discover and find out more about.

It's a fascinating area, I think the more you look at it.

It most certainly is.

40:16

And as I said earlier on, the more I've done this, the more questions I have rather than answers.

And I think that there's an excellent book by Doctor Raymond Moody and it's called Paranormal.

And he sort of says the that, you know, he is an A skeptic in the old fashioned Greek sense, the word which isn't.

40:38

And they say as we think of a skeptic today, but it's one that goes on inquiring.

And I think when you go on inquiring it, it opens up more possibilities than if you just have a theory.

And I think sometimes, you know, occasionally some people can have a theory and subconsciously reject everything else that doesn't fit in with their theory.

41:02

Oh yeah, I think you're.

Right about that one.

I think that's very true as to what we do as humans.

It's how we kind of tend to how we tend to exist and how, how we tend to operate.

But it's not always conducive then to things changing.

You know, ideas are not fixed.

41:17

If, if that were the case, we would still think the Earth is flat.

So, you know, it's, it's kind of evolving.

It's it's kind of being able to evolve.

And again, we don't necessarily comfortably and easily do that.

It takes huge paradigm shifts to get to that point where we can alter our state of being and us, you know, that fixed mindset that we often develop.

41:38

Exactly.

I mean, a great way of expand, kind of going a bit off a tangent here, but it's like YouTube.

You look at one particular video on YouTube and then before you know it, you're just getting more and more videos on that particular content.

So it's kind of sometimes it's not that when a particular route you want to go down with it.

41:56

So what's going on here then?

So you click that video and find out before you know it, you're you're bombarded.

So I think the best thing to do with with any sort of field in the panel is just keep a wide open open sort of perspective on things like going back to the sort of paranormal.

42:11

A cold spot can be a draft coming in, or it could be actually something generally going on so you know it it.

It shouldn't be that just all cold spots are are drafts, or all cold spots are paranormal.

The more open you are to the different possibilities, the more rich tapestry you're seeing of all the possibilities and how wonderful life can be.

42:38

46:42

Let us venture forth, for the journey into the unknown has only just begun.

You kind of walked.

Us through some of those steps of a of typically what a past life regression session looks like.

47:01

Is there anything else that you would add to that in terms of key things that you would want in place or key things that should be kind of made aware of as part of that process if you like?

I always make.

Sure.

That people sign a consent form saying that they're happy to receive hypnosis on that form is just general things like if they have very severe depression or like epilepsy, it's always recommended that they seek medical advice beforehand.

47:38

I have had people that have epilepsy and depression and doctors have said to me, it's absolutely fine.

You know, I can't see a problem with that.

Only once I've had a doctor say I can't say one way or the other.

And there's no particular in my personal humble feeling that hypnosis will trigger epilepsy or will trigger people to feel more depressed.

48:02

In fact, what I have seen as some research, slowing down the mind can help with epilepsy, and it certainly does help with some of my clients that have depression.

But it's a way of just making sure that all things are covered just in case someone happened to have a bad turn.

48:19

People can then blame.

You for.

For that, you know, it's just, it's just a sort of, it was one of those things all hypnotherapists are kind of told to do to protect themselves.

But in case in the sense of the room, sometimes I play some nice relaxing music that helps to take people into a nice deep, relaxed state.

48:38

A quiet room is preferable, although you can utilize background noises to help someone go into hypnosis.

I've even hypnotized people in quite busy venues because just where we were set up, unfortunately there's a lot of sound bleeding through, but occasional interruptions like a sudden saying drop in a bottle on the ground can can jerk people out of hypnosis.

49:05

So I make sure there's that.

I make sure there's water by someone because, you know, I think to help get somebody from their lower brain waves was they're sort of slowing down from the in from the normal waking conscious beta, alpha, Theta.

49:20

Not usually doubt in the hypnosis that I do, but as their brain we start to slow down, they can get a little cold.

So I make sure I've got a fire that I can heat up the room after.

Make sure they can drink water to bring themselves out a bit better from the the hypnotic state.

So I think the most important thing to do is that you have a very calm, pleasant environment, not too bright in the room where you're doing the hypnosis.

49:43

And when somebody is in hypnosis, no matter what someone's belief is in the past life is that sometimes people can re experience the emotions like if their father that they see in the past life progression has passed away or has gone missing.

50:02

This happened in in some instances is that you treat that as if it has happened to someone you know, because it for I know it could have actually happened.

And those people in the past life are re experiencing the emotions in this life.

50:20

So it's to be kind, caring and understanding and to create that nice safe space for people.

So you kind of.

Mentioned the importance earlier of the use of questions and the type of questions that you ask during that session to guide the person through the the regression experience.

50:42

What?

Kinds of.

Questions then would you say, you know, you try and ask, how do you, how do you approach that then without asking a question that would be too leading?

I mean what?

You do the best you can as a hypnotherapist and once or twice, but it hasn't happened for many years.

50:58

I have asked the odd question.

It's oh, that's a bit of a leading question.

But I find sometimes people also say, you know, actually, no, that's the, it's this.

But so for example, you just ask people to move on if they're travelling to a particular place, you sort of say to people to go forward to the next day and what's happening, not to assume that they've they've reached their destination.

51:27

And if somebody is unwell in the regression, you obviously say, I'm really sorry to hear that move further forward in time.

What's happening now?

And then the only thing I will say, if they were talking about someone who was was unwell, looks they could pass away.

And I said, and whoever it is in that that lifetime, tell me, tell me about them.

51:49

How are they doing?

I don't sort of say, you know, have they passed away or anything like that.

And then they can sort of say, you know, they've passed away or you know what, what whatever that particularly is.

I'll just give you an example of what not to say because I find that probably the easiest way of, of, of going about, you know, saying what you should do.

52:08

There is a fantastic book called The Art of Aggression Therapy.

It's one of Roy Hunter's book Sousa Hypnotherapist.

When he was a child, he was stung by a scorpion.

Now Roy Hunter lives in America, quite in the middle of nowhere, so the nearest doctor was miles away.

52:27

And as a child, Roy woke up one night to find himself in a tremendous amount of pain.

At that moment in time, he couldn't breathe, he couldn't speak.

And his sister was in a bed across the other side of the room.

52:43

He was trying to call out to her to say that, you know, he was in a lot of trouble.

But because he couldn't breathe and he couldn't speak, he wasn't making any sound.

And he started feeling himself raised up at that point, became very frightened and set out the intention calling to God.

52:59

I'm too young to die.

And he felt himself suddenly fall back down on the bed and was able to breathe again.

Called out to his sister, who his sister just thought that he was having some sort of nightmare.

And the doctor, sorry, because the doctor was miles away.

He was only given suggestions that his parents only given suggestions over the phone what to do to help him.

53:20

So he didn't receive that medical treatment that he really should have received.

But anyway, he was speaking to a hypnotherapist or hypnotist, I should say, who was incredibly interested in regressions and particularly interested in the UFO phenomena.

53:36

And when he she said, or he said, I think it was a she said to Roy, I reckon you've got some oppressed memories there and Roy's they experimental thought I'll give it a go.

She took him back to that very night.

53:52

He saw the light.

He felt himself rise up from the bed.

And then she says, now go through the light and let me know if there's a UFO there Now, because when someone's in hypnosis, because hypnosis, most of the time, at least the way I do hypnosis is like pacing and leading.

54:08

I have no control over a client.

It's the client that puts themselves into hypnosis.

But you're watching their breathing, what rates you're talking on their breath and you're creating this strong level of rapport.

And sometimes and most of the time, a client will want to please the hypnotherapist because of that level of rapport that has been built up.

54:30

So Roy did go through the light and saw a UFO and she was continuing to ask questions like, and do you see beings, you know, that are taking you into this UFO with, you know, grey heads and black slanty eyes?

And he had in the end, because of her interest, a UFO abduction experience.

54:48

Years later, he went with another hypnotist that did guidance instead of leading and would say, when you see the light, just allow a little bit of time to go forward.

What's happening now?

So that's the kind of things that you ask.

Just go forward a little bit in time.

What's happening now, OK, How do you feel is another question you can ask.

55:05

But by being guided rather than LED, he had more of a classic near death experience where he felt that he was in contact with the Angel of Death.

Still, you can't let him say that you know when somebody knows it's it's the truth, it's the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

55:21

But you're stacking up the possibility of it being true if you guide someone rather than lead them.

It makes total.

Sense, I mean, you're basically eliminating the possibility that those memories, the the reflections, the things said are coming from the person asking the question.

55:39

You're just eliminating that as one of the, the possible reasons as to what's going on.

And I, and I think it does really very much highlight the importance of that role as, you know, the person leading that session to guide, to be the observer rather than trying to, I suppose, get them to a point where they experience something and, and almost jumping ahead.

56:02

You know, it's important, I suppose, for the person experiencing it to really share what they are seeing, what they are feeling, what they are experiencing in that space.

So like you said, it becomes something that's a true reflection of whatever memory it is that they are sharing with you, as opposed to what someone else is suggesting it could be.

56:24

Yes, absolutely.

And I have because I'm always reading books and I do see some some videos online and there's certain questions that I could ask or could implants in a client whilst in hypnosis to get a more dramatic past life.

56:40

But for me, I'm also fascinated in, you know, what is going on here.

So for me, if I was just planting suggestions in somebody one, it would feel ethically wrong for me to do that.

And also as well for someone who's fascinating, absolutely fascinating past lives and want to hopefully get somewhere near the truth, although, you know, truth is kind of a difficult thing to get to truly find out in the paranormal.

57:05

But for me, if I was knowing that I was, you know, leading a client rather than guiding them, you know, I'd be thinking what's the point for myself as well?

Because I, I have a passion for the past life aggression and want to do it right.

So you know.

Obviously with the experience that you have have had in this field, have you had any, you know, cases, any clients that have been particularly memorable in terms of the outcomes for that person, you know, the experiences that they they had whilst experiencing a past life regression?

57:41

Well, I've had quite.

A few and I, some of them are individual clients that always make an agreement that I won't talk about them.

But some of the content which is on my YouTube channel, the one that I can remember very well.

57:56

And I also give another one fairly recently, as well as Steve Mulligan.

Now the initial video before it went on past life regressions with Paul Goddard's YouTube channel was on the Paradox Club website, not website, sorry, Facebook group.

And Steve Mulligan to just give a bit of background to his story, my friend Lynn, my good friend Lynn again contacted Sharon and Steve.

58:20

This was during the lock time time to say, you know, would you be interested in having a past life aggression, you know, for your your viewers.

So when it came to Steve's turn, the only thing that I knew about what possibly might be going on here.

As he said, he always felt a deep connection with Llandudno.

58:40

And although he only visited very few times on family holidays, when he was on this family holiday, he was able to take his mum and parents and whoever he was with to various locations.

58:55

Even if they were right in the heart of the town, Steve would seem to know how to take them, say straight to the pier, you know, through the small streets so they would go the least possible time, you know, to get there.

And his mum always used to say to him, how do you know that?

59:10

So he thought potentially there might be some sort of connection with Clandidno.

So when I put Steve into hypnosis and took him through to one of his past lives, he said that he was a man, well a child at that time, called Sydney Sutcliffe.

59:30

And Sydney, when we found out later on, because people were doing research as they were watching, was a Lieutenant in the Flying Corps.

And I did put this through to the Northwell Post and it did go into this particular story, into some of the bigger newspapers.

59:49

And I made a mistake in the press release calling him a Flight Lieutenant.

And people pick me up out to say that they weren't called Flight Lieutenant then.

That's that was my fault for writing that in the in the press release, because you actually listen to Steve's regression.

He just says that he's a Lieutenant.

1:00:06

Anyway, Sydney did exist.

The dates matched up.

And Sydney Sutcliffe was unfortunately shot down in the First World War over France near Cambury.

And during the regression, Steve mentioned certain things which very interesting.

1:00:26

He mentioned that he lived in a house called the Nook in Llandudno.

And Sydney Sutcliffe did live in the in the Nook.

And he said that his father was entertainer.

1:00:42

His father's name was Arthur, but his stage name was Abraham.

And Steve was saying about some of the acts that that that his father would be doing on stage.

And people were looking up online and finding that all these things were in fact coming through.

1:01:02

But what I particularly would like to know, and one of the reasons we contacted the local paper to begin with was because we wanted just to know more information about Sydney Sutcliffe's life because certain things came out during the regression that you couldn't find online.

1:01:21

So one of the things that came online is that Sydney as a young child, if it was a local theatre that his dad was performing at, both himself, Sydney and his mum would be involved on the stage as well and he was describing the different acts they could be, would be doing.

1:01:38

You can't find that online.

He did mention for a while his father grew a moustache and the whole family were teasing him because he would get little bits of food in in his moustache.

Now when you see any reports about Arthur Sutcliffe, there is never any mention that any point he had a moustache.

1:01:58

There's no photographs of him with a moustache.

So if any people that know more about the story could come forward and say actually that's true or no, that never happened, that would prove or or disprove.

But because Steve felt a deep connection with this Sidney Sutcliffe, that he might have been himself and his girlfriend, Sharon went and visited Llandudno.

1:02:23

And one of the things that happened there, which I find quite compelling, which isn't on camera, but they did do a little bit of filming whilst they were there.

They were heading towards the house that Sydney would have grown up in called The Nook.

Now here's the SAT NAV was telling them a certain direction, how to get to this, this place, the streets where the The Nook was.

1:02:46

And Steve suddenly just has an intuitive feeling we need to turn here.

And Sharon says no, it says go straight on.

Anyway, the SAT NAV took them a long way around and they got a bit lost, but they found out afterwards.

If they had actually listened to Steve in the 1st place, his intuition, it would have taken them that street eventually right up to the house and look.

1:03:04

So I find that quite a compelling 1 and there's.

What does your dad do for work?

Are you aware of what he does?

It works.

1:03:24

He works on the train, but he also works singing and dancing in the music.

All he sings, he sings and does dances and.

1:03:43

Whistles as well really good.

And do you ever get to?

See him perform.

Yeah, that.

Side of the stage and watch and listen to the crowd all clapping that's lovely and again I.

1:04:05

Didn't quite hear, but if you have already, please say again what your dad's name is.

What is your dad's name?

That's April.

1:04:24

Abraham.

Is that Abraham?

That's good.

Again, allow.

Her name to come into your mind of what your mum's name is.

Your mum is a funny name, I just know her as a mum but.

1:04:48

That calls a role.

And what does she spend the days doing?

What does she do with it most of the days?

She turns to the house, but she also sometimes goes on stage too.

1:05:14

Helps dad on.

Stage singing and dancing.

And what does she do?

To help your dad with his singing and dancing.

She joins in if the sometimes I do plays and the acts as if there's somebody else.

1:05:46

They're not mum and Dad, they're somebody else, but they both and sing at the end of it.

Other ones fairly recently, which had some interesting points as well, if you wanted me to go into that.

Oh yeah, please.

Do I mean it's fascinating, I think, I think that case that you just gave is so completely and utterly compelling, particularly seeing how it then.

1:06:09

Plays out.

When they they visit the area to the point where he is.

Kind of in tune.

With the the geography and those details that, you know, if they trusted that instinct would have meant that they wouldn't have taken a long detour around elsewhere.

1:06:25

So yeah, I mean, it's very compelling.

So please feel free to share any further ones that you'd like to so.

The the most recent one could also be nice to do.

A recent regression that I did on online was a lady that came to see me just for an online session and and a live demonstration called Kelly.

1:06:44

And during her aggression, she said that she was Catherine Rutland, who was someone who was fascinated with like treasures from East Africa.

She just said she was at so West Africa.

1:07:00

So I West Africa and that that's where she said she was at the, the, the West.

But one of the things which is very interesting during the regression, because she was one of those people that just came out with the information right away.

There was no pause in no thinking about it was that she grew up in Hastings.

1:07:21

That was her town.

Her father also went out and explored and that now in the regression, it does sound like Portland place.

I've I've heard it a couple of times.

I think is it Portland Place where she says ain't different, but it's a little bit like if you remember there was a online trend a couple of years ago with somebody saying brainstorm and Green Needle.

1:07:42

And no matter how well you listen to it, you could hear both versions.

So it's a little bit like this, but I do hear her say Portland Place.

So if anybody does hear that clip back, it'd be interesting to see what people said.

But what was quite interesting about what she said is that in Hastings, Portland Place, if you go there now, is very much like.

1:08:02

Terraced.

Terraced houses and not the way it would have looked in the 1800s.

And someone was watching Ian Veru.

He was watching at the time and he is a Hastings man himself and he knows a little bit about the history.

1:08:19

And the way that this lady who was describing the South as Catherine, it's described the street was that it was light brown buildings and grassy areas around and it looked like quite a, a well off kind of area.

1:08:36

And this person who was watching was saying that, you know, if you were to see a map of Hastings now or actually see a Street View, that would not be the way it looks now.

But if you went back to Eaton and that's exactly how it would have looked.

1:08:51

But not an awful lot of people know that.

So I found that quite compelling.

So Ian did say that he's going to try and find a little bit more research and dig into a bit more to see if there's anything else that can cope.

Because she was coming up with some some really fascinating things that people she spoke to in the library, because she was totally fascinated with archaeology and particularly archaeology from from abroad and all the different people and authors of different papers she spoke to.

1:09:21

So if those names that she mentioned did come out to be true, that would be very compelling.

But it's one of those cases that is still ongoing at the moment.

But if I if I do hear anything cooperating or not from for me and I will certainly let people know.

1:09:39

Where in the world?

Are you now Catherine?

Very good.

Now the next.

Count 3 allow there town the village the area came to where you live in come to you 123 Hastings.

1:10:00

That's nice.

Now, if you're happy to share and happy to tell me.

What your?

Street looks like where you live.

Liar.

That come to you when you're just outside where you live.

1:10:18

Now tell me how that looks.

It's very like.

Brown.

It's not a dark brown that I would associate with an urban area.

It's like Brown and.

It's quite.

1:10:34

Spacious there are houses and they are in a row but.

There's.

Space as well.

There's there's green.

You're aware of?

The name of the street.

Or Rd.

Where you live, allow the name of that to come to you 1/2. 3 Good no?

1:11:04

Your early 20s in this place.

Are you aware of?

Anyone else living with you or tell me about that?

Yes.

My my man, my father and a.

1:11:21

Servant.

Now, your dad, your father.

Allow him time when you're with him to come even clear in your mind.

Allow that to happen now, Catherine.

He's called David Describe.

1:11:43

David to.

Me please.

He's he's.

Quite tall and I'm guessing he's quite affluent.

He's dressed very nicely and he's he.

Feels very.

Fresh.

He feels very.

1:11:59

Fresh, very clean, very unbothered.

He's got a lovely countenance.

And he seems.

Very positive.

1:12:17

That's good.

And how does he spend his days?

Allow that to come to you now.

He works.

He likes to read.

He likes to.

1:12:33

Research.

Ask good what?

Does he like to research?

Everything.

Mainly history, anthropology, archaeology.

1:12:55

So how do you?

When kind of coming to these sessions with your clients, how do you yourself then mentally prepare, physically prepare before conducting a session with a client?

As best as you can or best as I can.

1:13:12

I like to take 30 minutes just to do nothing beforehand, just maybe drink some water.

Certainly because you mentioned about setting the scene, I will offer people a tea and coffee, particularly if they want to decompress afterwards.

And I make sure I give enough time between each client so that it's not like right, you're out to get the next one in.

1:13:31

So there's enough time for people to talk about the expense.

I will offer tea or coffee at that stage but I won't offer anything which is stimulating because I want people to feel relaxed enough during the regression and that way they go into hypnosis better.

But for myself is.

Most of the time.

1:13:48

People do get a regression but being completely honest and you know this is for every single hypnotherapist.

Not every single person will end up getting a regression, but is to, when you're talking to the client totally and utterly believe that they're going to experience one.

1:14:08

Because if you don't believe it in your voice, they're not going to believe it either.

So it's just to put yourself mentally in that it's going to work.

Same with the healing process.

When you've got somebody who may be coming for pain management or to stop a bad habit or to have more confidence, you go in with the absolute belief that it's going to happen.

1:14:28

Because at the end of the day, people want to have someone that they feel trust and, and confidence, confidence in.

So that's the way I would prepare for it and then just enjoy the session because I do find each one totally fascinating, whether it's a mundane life, which to be honest, most of them are, or whether it's a really kind of quite fascinating, dangerous life.

1:14:51

As with Sidney Sutcliffe story, you know, that each each client that comes to me is very special and I always find their their stories, they can they compare very interesting.

And also as well, you know, I feel quite humbled that they're happy to put themselves in that relaxed state because it's a little bit almost like falling asleep in front of somebody.

1:15:10

They're putting themselves in a slightly vulnerable position.

So I feel, you know, very pleased that they feel comfortable doing that in my presence.

Have there been?

Cases for you where?

You know the person.

That you've regressed the experience that they've had has really gone on to positively impact their current life then.

1:15:31

So I.

Have had quite a lot of them actually, and a lot of them funnily enough have been from people that have just purely come from interest.

But afterwards they've found that it's helped them in some very positive ways.

1:15:52

When the ones which I can talk about is the lady who did go on the Titanic in her past life.

Now I know people say all the Titanic that's so famous, but you know, I I can count on one hand the the famous, really interesting ones.

But she was a Stoker or fireman and she was in engine room 3.

1:16:11

She gave the name of John Smith, which want me to find out Some of you did die in engine room three.

It was with AY so Smythe, you know, Smith Smythe.

But after she experienced herself drowning as someone in a previous life, she lost a fear of water, which she did have before and had no idea why she had this fear of water, but she had when she had a shower, she would only feel comfortable in having the water go from just on the chest down.

1:16:43

She didn't like water going over her head.

But after experiencing herself trying to somebody else, she'd, she'd lost that fear and thought I'd give this a go.

And she was totally happy to go into the into the water and totally have the water running completely down her face.

1:16:58

So that was very positive.

You know, there's, there's another one and this, this shows how somebody can improve sort of mentally as well.

This was during the live demonstration, one of the people that had the live demonstration in their lifetime, they were a miser.

1:17:15

And it was during the final moments of their life because they spent their life in this past life experience just wanting to make money.

And they weren't spending the time with his wife or his children as a female client because you can be both sexes in in in the past life aggression.

1:17:35

So it was at the end of this individual's life when they're looking back over their lifetime, they thought, what have I done?

I've just had, I've just wasted all these precious years that I could have had with my wife and my children.

And they suddenly felt this great sense of guilt during the experience.

1:17:57

But afterwards, it was kind of like one of those aha moments because who she was in this lifetime was spending money, buying stuff for people, really not being very successful with with money.

But after having that experience, she had a much better, healthier positive outlook towards money.

1:18:19

Knowing what money can buy for you, you can put it into savings and you know, but you can still respect and, and buy people nice things as well, but as long as you also respect yourself.

So that was another positive experience.

So a lot of people that come for past lives, whether it is through myself or another hypnotherapist, do find that they have a positive outcome from it, even if it's not expected.

1:18:45

And I think in.

The example that you just gave, I think that's a really good example of.

How?

That really very much helps with emotional blocks, challenges that we don't always know that we have, but can really help to tackle those head on.

And, you know, coming back to my brother's fiance as as another example, she is fiercely independent, but she kind of lost a lot of that through the course of this very awful, tragic, quite horrific accident that she had.

1:19:15

You know, she, she was a member of the police.

You can just imagine how independent she was.

Nothing kind of ever stopped her.

And this stopped her.

And through the through the past life aggressions that she had, it enabled her to regain some of that independence, that confidence in herself.

1:19:32

She saw herself as this strong figure in, in the lives that she was looking at that helped her to reconnect to that and to find herself again a little bit.

And she found that really, really very empowering to then tackle that sense of feeling lost, feeling out of control in her current situation, to just kind of stand still and and have that affirmation kind of in her past lives, rooting her on, if that if that makes sense.

1:19:59

And like I said, she found that really, really positive for her.

I think, which is is is amazing.

Yes, it.

Most definitely is.

And you know, I've heard from other people when I give my talks that have had past life aggressions with other hypnotherapists and say exactly all very similar things to what you've just said.

1:20:21

So it is, it is really powerful.

So obviously I like people to come to me for a past life aggression, but you know it, it should be right for the person.

And I know other therapists also give good, good value for for money as well.

I was just one thing I always like to make sure people people have is a recording.

1:20:38

And if the hypnotherapist doesn't do a recording, is the person to ask if they can make a recording?

Because I find those recordings so important afterwards.

But yeah, I've I've heard countless stories, not just my own ones, but other hypnotherapists have done really good work to people I speak to.

1:20:56

And I think you know.

Something that you touched upon, you know, there is this, how do you, how can you ensure that the the client really gets the the most out of the experience?

And I think one of the things that is really crucial to that is something that you just mentioned, the recording aspect, because the, I think this is a very personal experience of which even if you do remember it with crystal clarity, having that record of it I think is really important as that tangible piece of evidence of something that for many can be quite transformative or help them in unlocking certain feelings or addressing certain things.

1:21:30

It's a very personal experience.

And so to have something to take away from that I think is really crucial.

Yes, it.

Is, and it's, it's nice.

And also as well, you know, that when people have the recordings, they, they often say to me that, oh, there's, there's little bits of it that they couldn't quite remember or that by listening to it again that it's, it's reinforced those, those images that they had during the regression.

1:22:00

So it just helps to make it more real because they're like remembering it a little bit, like two friends, I guess, talking about a wonderful holiday, all day trip they've been on.

By talking about it, you make it more vivid in your mind.

So is there any?

1:22:15

Other, you know, advice that you would give to a client then in terms of how else they could best maximize that that experience well.

Sometimes it's good if particularly as well, if there's other things they want to work upon that.

1:22:32

I, I mean, I, I also know for some people that to keep going and seeing the therapist is, can be an expensive process.

But if they've, if they've unlocked a certain aspect, I mean, particularly like the lady I just mentioned with the drowning, that was all she needed.

1:22:55

But if somebody wants to continue the path of self development is to look at some books and buy some books.

I mean, it's nice to give the money directly to the author.

You can also get some really good books second hand for next to nothing on eBay.

1:23:13

Also, if you people can't afford that is there's so much information out on YouTube, Facebook groups.

If you put on Google, you know that you can sort of copy and paste and create your own library of self development.

But one of the things if somebody is going down the self development route is just to do a little bit daily.

1:23:33

Like going back to the yoga in school.

Doesn't have to be spending all your day doing things, but just a little bit to keep feeding yourself all the time.

As I sort of said, you know, because if you'd stopped cleaning your teeth with the sugar and cakes people eat, you'll soon get the tooth decay.

1:23:49

So just keep that, keep that going and it becomes a habit.

And once it becomes a habit, you're not even realizing that you're doing it anymore because you're just doing these little simple tools and exercises that if done daily will make such a big difference.

And we're only talking about 5-10 minutes twice a day.

1:24:04

So it's not going to take up everybody's precious time coming back to my.

Brother's fiance, she did precisely things like that she would she started really building in these daily moments whereby she just tried to reconnect with.

1:24:20

You know the the.

Various people that she'd encountered in her experience to connect with herself in those experiences, so that again, she was getting almost this daily affirmation that she was strong, she could do it, she was capable, she would get through this.

1:24:36

She'd got through other things before, in, in, in other experiences, and she could deal with this very traumatic, debilitating experience that she was having in the present, that things would get better.

And she was almost experiencing that high again that she'd had just by taking a few minutes to almost take her back to that same state and that experience and that feeling that she'd had whilst under hypnosis during her past life regression.

1:25:04

And again, that just really helped her move forward to take those sessions then into her everyday life.

Very simple, but very very effective.

Yeah, it.

It it really does.

And I see a lot on Instagram and Facebook as well.

1:25:21

People will share inspirational quotes and I do love a good inspirational quote as well.

But what I tell my clients is to choose 3 or 4 inspirational quotes that resonate with them, truly resonate with them, and then to either take screenshots or write them out.

1:25:41

Or if you can purchase them as flash cards.

But so that just every day you look at these 3 or 4 inspirational quotes and really take it on board and let it sink in, let it become part of your reality.

1:25:58

Because for a lot of people that say, oh, that makes sense, that really resonates with me.

And then they Scroll down Facebook or Instagram and then what those positive words says.

Then after 5 minutes totally out of your mind.

So I think it's just one of the most important things.

It is the slow method to self improvement.

1:26:15

But repetition is absolute key.

Repetition, repetition, repetition.

Little bit like when I mentioned earlier, children tie in their shoelaces, the children do it over and over again and make mistakes.

And it's OK to make mistakes.

But the more times you put in putting in that practice, the better you become.

1:26:33

So it's the same with these positive affirmations.

I mean, there's all all different ways of creating change.

But I do think that repetition is, is vaguely, it is a slow process, but by doing it regularly, it makes such a big difference in in people's lives.

1:26:49

And I know that it's made a big difference in my life as well.

So just thinking.

About, you know, the people listening right now to our conversation.

What would you say to to those listening who maybe are thinking about this or have have never thought about this, but are for the first time thinking and wondering, is this something for me?

1:27:10

What would you kind of say, you know, to everyone listening?

What could this what could this offer them?

What could this type of past life regression experience give to someone who is sitting and listening right now and maybe on the fence or just wanting that little bit of kind of like understanding as to what this could bring for them personally?

1:27:32

Well part of the pre talk, and I did miss this earlier, is the right setting is to explain to people what they will experience in hypnosis.

For 99.9% of people, they will be totally aware that they are still themselves.

1:27:50

They'll be aware that they're sat or reclined in the chair that they're they're in when they're they're with me and for any reason they need to open their eyes.

They can simply open their eyes so they're not stuck in hypnosis and not just waiting out for me to click my fingers or whatever it is to bring them out of hypnosis.

1:28:09

They can bring themselves out of it easily just by opening their eyes.

By saying that to clients, that alleviates a lot of fear.

I say 99% of people that it's, it's they are aware that they're still then because I have over the years come across just a very small handful of people who said that was so real.

1:28:30

I thought I was there, which is only something that's been happening more in recent years and very, very rare.

So I have slightly changed the way I've, I've thought about that because that's what the clients say to me.

But so that that will alleviate the fear.

1:28:46

People find it very fascinating.

It might explain a little bit why you act and who you are.

But you know, if people want to just dip their toes, I have some CDs because I'm old school.

I still use CDs or MP threes for sale of past life aggressions.

1:29:04

So they could either have one of my MP threes, my CDs or somebody else's CDs where they will guide you into a past life aggression and then give you the session, the experience, then bring yourself out to that.

So that's that's a good way of dipping your toe into it.

1:29:21

I mean, you can also come across some some power stuff for questions on YouTube.

You might be interrupted by an advert, but you know, there's also that route that you could go.

But if anybody's still not sure, they're always welcome to contact me through my e-mail paul@paulgoddardnlp.co.uk.

1:29:40

So that's Paul at Paul Goddard NLP for neurolinguisticprone.co.uk that my got my website paulgoddardnlp.co.uk or they can reach out to me on, on Facebook.

I've got a business Facebook.

1:29:56

I've also got my personal Facebook as well.

And people are welcome to send me a message or befriend me.

But if you are going to do that, just please send me a message as well.

So I know you know what, why you're, you're trying to befriend me or, or, or contact me, but you know, I, I will speak to people and well, I'm a very busy person.

1:30:16

I, I can spare 10 minutes just to either send an e-mail back or to have a quick chat over the phone.

If they're not sure if it's, it's for them.

And I never do the hard sale, you know, if somebody wants to go ahead with it, great.

If they need to have a little time to think, I will not pressure anybody at all.

1:30:34

And I.

Will make sure that you know the links that you just referenced there are easily available for the in the podcast description notes as well as on the the website itself.

So if someone wants to follow this up and find your YouTube page or find your website, then they can do so.

1:30:51

And, and maybe that's just the, the next natural step for some people if they want to follow this up to, to find out a little bit more and maybe see if this is something they want to try now or consider for the future or still have in the back of them their brain, maybe for another time when they think actually now, now I'd like to give it a go and they remember your name and, and want to look you up then.

1:31:13

But it's certainly something from, you know, my experience with people I know who've been through and had a past life regression, They found it really, really positive.

I, I can't, I can't say that strongly enough.

I've never come across anyone.

And I know a few people that have had this done to them.

1:31:31

I've had it done as well, I must say as well, you know, I don't know anybody that's ever had a negative experience.

It's always been something really positive.

So yeah, I, you know, I think it can be very, very useful, very empowering and very helpful.

So yeah, I will make sure that all of your, your links are easily available for people to follow, follow up if they want to.

1:31:53

And you know, thank you so much for your time, Pauline, in helping to really kind of give that deeper understanding of the process, what happens, what someone might be able to expect, what could be going on, and just giving us that broader understanding of what past life regression is and of course, what you do yourself as part of that process.

1:32:15

No, thank you.

It's.

It's been an absolute pleasure.

I've really enjoyed being on here and there's been some fantastic questions as well.

So I've really enjoyed my time and thank you for asking me and I'll say.

Goodbye to everybody listening.

Bye everybody.
