Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This isn't the first book I've read by Brian Weiss, and if he keeps writing, it certainly won't be the last. Whether you believe in past lives or not, which I do, the fact that past life regression can cure a mountain of ills is astounding. Weiss' new book, co-written with his daughter, is a collection of stories told to him by the people who've been regressed, and cured. Considering that reincarnation is the norm throughout most of the world's religions, and was part of Christianity until the 5th century, lends credence to its validity. What loving parent wouldn't give their child chance-after-chance to get things right, rather than condemn them to eternal punishment after one try(lifetime). The idea of only one lifetime, only makes sense if you wish to control people by fear, not by the loving God that Christians believe theirs to be. Weiss' new book is broken up into chapters that tell stories dedicated to a particular aspect of what visiting your past lives can do for you. Chapter 1 shows us how we're all connected. Stories show how synchronicity works by having attendees to Weiss' classes sitting next to the one person who holds the key to whatever problem they might be having. It shows how a loving universe prompts certain people into our orbit to show, or tell us something important to our lives. Chapter 2 goes into how some past live can be validated through searches on the Internet, or visiting towns with a familiarity not possible in the regressed present lifetime. I think one of the most important aspects of past life regressions, which is discussed in Chapter 3, is how visiting a past life and reliving a trauma, can dissipate current emotional problems. Maybe it's the greater understanding stemming from a current life that makes the emotional pain go away, regardless of whether the regressed person is only using their imagination, as some would argue. Throughout the chapters is in this 300-plus page book, example after example are given as to the healing aspects of past life regressions, and Brian Weiss is hardly some new age guru. He's a trained psychiatrist from Yale who happened upon past life regression by accident when one of his patients slipped into a past life that cured a present ill. He discusses this in previous books of which I forget the details, but again, it's like the universe needed this amazing man to help validate the idea that we live life after life, not graduating until we learn to love unconditionally. What a wonderful way of looking at life. I think that most important part of past life regression, is to teach us that we don't really lose anyone. We live life-after-life, and that karma is just us wanting to come back to enjoy the opposite side of our last life so that we can understand things completely. This leads me to believe that the universe was set up to run in an orderly and very loving manner, with a God at the head who loves us unconditionally and gives us all the time and opportunity to become like him, and any good parent would. Weiss' book is filled with so many testimonials of real people who've been healed by his work, that it's a total joy to read. Take a break from the bad news on t.v. to learn that the world really is a good and fair place to live in. I will be giving this book to anyone I know who's depressed, and feeling defeated by life. Thank you Dr. Brian Weiss.
