(Please note: workshops may be cancelled due to an insufficient number of pre-registered attendees. Register early!!)

Past Life Regression is a Shamanic deep trance state of consciousness in which you receive images and/or sensory input, which give information about your past lives. This information can enter the mind stream in small bits or in a straightforward stream of consciousness storyline. Past Life Regression is a way of obtaining insights from such sources as your higher self, inner wisdom and the wisdom of the universe.

Often, such insights are extremely valuable in regard to your present life situation, providing highly relevant background information to help you move forward on your current life's journey. It can be dramatically healing, deeply transformational or simply interesting. It is universally believed in philosophical and religious circles that the last thoughts one has just prior to leaving one¹s body at the time of death are the most important since these thoughts lay the groundwork for the next life's experience. Sometimes, Past life regression will bring forth these final moments of a previous life in a simple detached and non-emotional manner.

You will nearly always walk away from a PLR with a greater understanding of your past, and many facets of your present personality and/or physical limitations which were formerly puzzling. All this provides a powerful tool for self-transformation and opens the door to a more positive future. To register online via PayPal, please click on the button below:
