Luke came for past life regression session out of curiosity, but  he also had a feeling that he lived in New Orleans before, as he had dreams about French Quarter in old days, and eerie feelings about several buildings. He was local, but born and raised in a suburb... it is hard to tell if "deja vu"  feelings of a local person are related to a past life - or childhood memories...but it becomes more clear in a session. He had no irrational fears, but had an inner  "block" - he wanted to quit his day job for a very long time  and become a full time musician, and he could do it realistically as his kids were grown and he got a bit of inheritance from his parents, allowing him to live comfortably without steady income, and he was already playing with several bands on his free time, but there was some deep hesitation, preventing him from following his bliss...

When he found himself in a past life - he was standing on the riverbank, looking at sailboats. He immediately recognized that he was in New Orleans in 1800s.   He was in a stocky white middle age  male body, dressed in leather boots, brown pants and jacket with metal buttons, carrying some papers which looked like inventory lists...He approached one of the docked ships, and was watching the workers  unloading  the cargo  - large square sacks, covered with canvas and tied with ropes. I asked him to have a look under the coverings - and he said it was cotton.  The sacks were loaded on horse-drawn carts and taken to a warehouse nearby. He felt that he owned that warehouse, and the cotton was stored there, and later shipped out.  I asked him - where will it go, and he said -  Virginia and New York, and from there to England (this proved to be historically  correct when I googled cotton trading routes after the session).  I asked him to go to the place where he lived and see his family at a dinner table - he saw his wife in a yellow long dress  and he felt it was the same soul as his wife in this life. (she looked differently, but clients are able to recognize familiar soul energies  in past life regression), they had 2 small children. They had black servants serving the dinner.  I moved him to an important event - and he was back in his warehouse, very  upset. The warehouse was almost empty. Something happened with the cotton crops, the supply was drastically diminished,  and his business was failing. In the next scene he was back in his house, hearing screams of his wife behind closed doors, she was having a baby. The child was born healthy, his wife was OK, but he had ambivalent feelings, as he was worried that he would not be able to provide for the growing family.., They had to move to a smaller house and had to live on a very tight budget,  He felt very depressed. When I tried to move him to the next scene - he could not see anything, just darkness, which usually means that the past life persona died, so I took him back in time to the last day of his life.  He was in a small room with blue walls, and he was very depressed and disoriented.  He did not see how he died - but he had a feeling that he killed himself, as he was very upset about loosing his business and not being a good provider. He felt moving away from Earth and saw the Light and entered it. There was no punishment or judgement  - just pure Love... I asked the Light to clear all the pain and suffering  from that life, and when this was done, and he started feeling light and happy  as 'pure energy"  - and his deceased mother (from this life) appeared to him, and they had  a conversation and embraced. His mom told him that he should quit his day job, and follow his dreams, and she is watching over him as his Guardian Angel. He does not have to worry about being a good provider anymore, he worked hard all his life and raised his kids, and can now enjoy well deserved freedom and develop his musical talent.

What caused the long lasting cotton crop failure during Luke's past life? It could be a disease caused by pests, or several very wet years, as excessive rainfall affects cotton crops.  There is no historic data on rainfall or pestilence going to 1800s online, but this is very possible scenario, as cotton was one of the main export items in American South  in 1800s. 

Believe it or not - but it is possible to remove obstacles for weight loss with past life regression, if subconscious sabotaging of your slimming efforts is rooted in past life trauma and deep seated belief that being slim and attractive can get you into trouble.  Viewing past life scenes and understanding of a limiting belief resulting from these memories can help to let go of this belief and negative programming.  I can also add post hypnotic suggestions of enjoying healthy foods and drinking plenty of water (which is very important for shedding pounds) in the end of the session. You still will have to change your eating habits and increase physical activity, but it becomes much easier, and you will be able to achieve lasting weight loss, as the true reason for being overweight will be eliminated in past life regression.

Subconscious desire to hold onto extra weight is often connected with starvation in past lives. Many of us lived through wars or famines or poverty, and died with a last  thought "I will never be hungry again" ... Remembering these situations in PLR, and reprogramming the subconscious mind with the idea that "there is plenty of food for every day" helps to let go the desire to stuff yourself with food as it might not be any food  tomorrow...

Holding onto extra weight can also be connected with rape or sexual assault in past life, this is especially true for women, as it only carries out into female lives (so far I have not have any male clients with this issue) . I had a female client who was a street portrait artist in 19 century London, very skinny teenage girl, and she was raped by a drunk man returning home after dark...she survived, and eventually happily married and had kids, but she was holding onto the memory of that rape, especially her feeling "I am so small and skinny, I can not fight him".   In this life her holding onto the extra  weight was associated with being strong and big, and able to protect herself.  Another client was a Native American maiden, living happy life with her tribe, and they were attacked by white people, who killed everybody, except for beautiful women and they were gang raped, and later killed.  She was holding onto belief "Beauty leads to suffering" as if she were not attractive in that life, her death would be more quick and  painless.. (You do not experience any physical sensations during past life regression, so even if the rape scene is experienced, clients cry and feel emotions, but no physical pain, and it is good to cry during PLR as it helps to release pent up emotions)

There are some very unusual past life situations related to weight gain sometimes...I worked with a female client who was quite large in this life - but in a past life she was a pretty and  slim Southern Belle in 18th century Alabama, who loved to write poetry, and was very well read, but her father did not take her intelligence seriously and was quite harsh about her desire to participate in male conversations about politics  or science, telling her something like "Occupy yourself with hair and clothes, this is more appropriate for a pretty girl"  She rebelled against her father and cut her golden locks, and refused to participate in balls and eventually never married and died a spinster. Her limiting belief was "Being slim and pretty leads to being misunderstood and patronized by men".

I can also lead you into "motivational lives"  to inspire you  to be more physical active  and discover hidden talents and abilities  in sports, dancing, hiking, swimming  in past lives and to find out what kind of physical activity would be the most enjoyable for you.  In one of my own sessions as a client when I wanted  to see a life related to my weight issues,  I was shown a life of a  temple dancer in Ancient Ceylon,  who was incredibly fit and flexible, and had fantastic posture. In one of the scenes she was standing in the King's garden with her hands on the back of a pet tiger - and I was just amazed by the way she carried her body and the energy flowing through her spine, and connection with tiger energy - I started using this scene for visualization after the session:  imagining myself standing totally straight with my hands on tiger's back helped me to control my posture and energy flow. I was also shown swimming to safety during a flood, as her physical fitness and swimming skill saved her life.  After that session I started using every opportunity to go dancing, and also paid attention to my posture and energy flow,  this past life also helped me to change my body image.  I lost about 20 lbs in 2 months after that session without any major changes in diet - just by going out more and dancing alone  at home  in front of a mirror...

If you struggle to loose weight and no matter what diet you use - you always gain it back,  and just feel stuck in overweight body, you might consider doing past life regression session and discover the true subconscious  reasons for being overweight  and the best ways for you to go about food and physical activities.  The session  will satisfy your curiosity about your past lives and will also remove subconscious obstacles for achieving fitness, and new motivation to create slim healthy body for yourself.

Our fair city is a home of  "Hollywood South"  and  Hollywood has been fascinated with reincarnation and past lives for a while...since 1950s there were many films  touching upon the subject reincarnation, often in a comic way, but recently there have been many dramas and science fiction movies about  rebirth and  afterlife. There are also several good documentaries about reincarnation of Tibetan lamas, presenting Buddhist doctrine of reincarnation to the Westerners. Here are some movies you might enjoy.
