Can a past life memory actually heal chronic physical pain? One of hypnotherapist Craig Meriwether’s clients says hers did — 20 years of hip pain gone within days of a single session. In this episode of Closer to Venus, Craig, author of The Past Lives Guidebook, walks host Johnny Burke through the evidence for reincarnation and what really happens during a past life regression.
In His Own Words:
“To prove all crows are not black, you only need one white “crow”—Craig, quoting William James (~14:54)
“You’re not going back in time… you’re just accessing memory” (~13:58)
“The 20 years of chronic hip pain I’ve had is now ‘gone’—from a client’s email (~23:28)
“Past life regression may be a misnomer” (~29:23)
What You’ll Learn:
What actually happens in a past life regression session—and how it differs from hypnotic “mind control” myths
The research behind reincarnation evidence, from Ian Stevenson’s child case studies to Brian Weiss’s Many Lives, Many Masters
