This was collecting dust on my bookshelf for a long time and, after reading this, I'm sorry I waited so long to delve in.
Judy Hall is one of England's most experienced and respected past life therapists and, in this volume, she covered just about everything reagrding that topic. She dealt with the many ways to regress to past lives, the positives and pitfalls of such, as well as dealing with a client's expectations when it comes to exploring past lives.
She addressed the topic of how people expect too much from a regression, moreso how they really want to uncover a life as a famous historical figure whose existence can be verified via historical records. She made no apologies about bursting the bubble of those expecting such, as she made it crystal clear that the majority of us lived mundane, everyday lives (just as we do now), but the experiences (or traumas, whatever the case may be) are what help us overcome blocks in this life.
Hall also addressed the omnipresent naysayers and, I thought, appropriately disparaged their negatives. She didn't do so in a mean-spirited way, but with conviction and, best of all, facts.
In the end, she gives a life of questions to ask potential therapists and encourages people to take special care of themselves when it comes to this therapy. She dispenses sound, practical advice that will produce positive results if followed.
She also listed therapists in the UK and the States at the very end. The list may be dated now (this book was published in 1996), but it's a good starting point, and many of those people are probably still around (such as the fantastic Denise Linn!).
This is an easy read, yet loaded with great information. - Donna Di Giacomo
