CAN WE FIND A CURE BY THE HELP OF PAST LIFE THERAPY?

Can our bad experiences that we are going through today be affected by our previous lives? Are the scars in the deepness of our personal past closer than we thought?

According to Diba Ayten Yılmaz who gives counseling service to ones who have spiritual or physical problems by using past life meaning regression therapy, the origin of our difficulties that we face in life mostly comes from our “karma”, meaning our past life experiences. Yılmaz says she sends her advisees back to their previous lives and make them retrace their problems in their ongoing lives, by also using her intuitions. We talked the details of the therapy that she is applying.

How did you start being interested in regression therapy?

There was a parapsychology conference held in Istanbul two years ago. After the conference, I studied Professional Past Life Regression Therapy by Andy Tomlinson in England Past Life Regression Academy and started my Istanbul based spiritual advising studies.

How does intuitive counseling and regression therapy help to your advisees (those who come to you for help)?

I use regression therapy to make someone gain awareness of himself/herself and his/her life. This therapy is a tool for me. And my advisees use the studies that I named as regression therapy or spiritual energy study as a tool and method in spiritual and personal development. During the sessions, it is possible to increase personal awareness and to help retracing the problem by a critical question. Even in a short time like 1 hour, it is possible to determine and start solving the things that doesn't go well in someone's life. Of course, person's resistance to change is an important factor. Life of the ones that are open to changes can change miraculously even in one session, and for resistive people that changement may not be so easy.

NO NEED FOR HYPNOSIS

How can you retrace the problem by using past life therapy?

The meaning of regression is to go back to the source. For example, one of my advisees is having serious troubles with someone that (s)he loves very much and his(her) life is turned into a mess. I track that person traces in my advisees life from this day to childhood. During the therapy a person may go 3 days before or 300 years before as the source of the problem. Most of the time there is no need for hypnosis because our past life memories are recorded in our subconscious and it is easy to access them. Those who do not believe in the existence of past lives, most of the time, go into a trance in few minutes and find themselves in their past lives.

Is it possible do go down to subconscious without hypnosis?

Regression Therapy is a combined method that has been developed through various therapy studies for over 30 years. A person can go back to the source of the problem through emotions and thoughts without the need of hypnosis. In my studies the person is in half conscious and half trance state. So the person is aware of everything, during the half sleep half awareness period and emembers everything after the session too. Besides, I record all the session as required by the rules of the association that I am a member of. I don't make a session with the people who doesn't accept recording.

Could this be a game of our brain, an illusion?

During the first regression therapy, many advisees stand up, turn to me and ask, “Am I making these up?” Then I ask, “You might have made up, but these visions came out from you, what does this experience tells you, wonder why did you go there?” Eventually, besides the accuracy of the things told, solving the problem that the person is going through is more important.

How come the negative experiences in past lives disturbs the person today?

Even a trauma that a person went through 400 years ago carried in a form of energy to present day. Spirit, meaning energy, goes into a different body when it takes the form in a body. Yet, most of us take a different shape than a human body in other planets. The spirit experiences for a while then turn back home, and when it comes back most of the time it revives in another geography. Lets say that I died because of a trauma in my throat in one of my past lives. There is a mark left of that trauma at that part of my energy region after I die. I leave the body but my spiritual energy carries that mark of the trauma in an energy format.

How does these negative experiences reflect to your advisees?

Most common problems are communication and difficulty in expressing oneself. A young advisee of mine was having troubles with her mother. When we look at the previous lives of her, it turned out that they came together at more than one life, and at almost each of them they turned out to be fighting. For example in old ages they were brothers and fighting continuously. But their anger was carried through every one of their lives, and arrived the present day. They can solve this karmic relationship if they show love and understanding to each other.

Do you have any interesting observations related to your advisees during the sessions?

I observe that close relationship difficulties and some physical problems happen very often. The biggest fear of all men is usually going to the life that they were woman. Being used a woman's body in another life would be embarrassing for them. However, in spiritual level we don't have a gender, we are all just energy. Furthermore, after the sessions the fear of death disappears because it is understood that the body is just a temporary tool. Some other people are scared of facing themselves. The thought, “What if I find myself doing something bad” bothers them. However, it is possible to change the tracks of these experiences, consequently it is possible to live peacefully and happily in our present life.
