    Can Past Lives Hold the Key to Present Pain? What Past-Life Regression Reveals.

    In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma, we go beyond the bandage and into the past...way past. Craig Meriwether, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, shares how past-life regression therapy can help us heal emotional wounds, uncover the root of deep-seated fears, and even connect with our spirit guides and ancestors. We explore how the subconscious mind stores experiences across lifetimes, and how tapping into those hidden memories can create profound insight and emotional freedom. If you’ve ever felt like your pain didn’t start with you… this one’s for you. We talk about: • What past life regression is (and what it’s not). • How subconscious memories affect your current life. • How healing trauma might involve more than one lifetime. • The connection between soul contracts, lessons, and emotional release. • How regression therapy differs from traditional hypnosis.
