Living Your Past Lives: The Psychology of Past Life Regression

I was delighted to discover that Karl Schlotterbeck has published a 2nd edition of Living Your Past Lives. I have been recommending it to people for years as the most comprehensive and readable book about past life regression in print. Regrettably, it was only available as a rare used book, because those who owned it usually held on to it. Fellow therapists had been urging him for years to re-publish it. Without apology for the subject (reincarnation and our ability to remember and heal trauma from past lives) Karl has written a solid, informative, and useful book for therapists and the general public. He writes about a wide variety deep behavioral and mental patterns and then offers case studies directly related to specific patterns. Through these case studies, we learn how past lives impact the client's current life. We also get to witness the wonderful healing and relief that are the result of effective past life regression therapy. Living Your Past Lives is an educational and inspiring read!

Based on anecdotal evidence, intuition, traditions, and faith, reincarnation is a religious belief held by millions of people. Therapist Carl Schlotterbeck explores his interest in reincarnation and so-called past-life regression. While no direct scientific evidence exists for reincarnation (the immortality of the soul re-emerging in countless consciousnesses throughout the ages), author Schlotterbeck presents a fascinating study of patients he has assisted who claim to have lived past lives. Abstracts of therapy transcripts are included making this book a very intriguing work. Whether you're a theosophist or a skeptic you'll come away with the impression that powerful archetypes are at work in the human subconscious--and of course there are reasons other than "past lives" to explain what's going on here. However, to dismiss the concept reincarnation without exploring its "hold" on the human mind for thousands of years is to ignore a powerful, ancient philosophy of life, death and immortality. Read it. You'll come away with more questions than answers about life, the soul and eternity.-- Louis Varricchi
