Well, you may be tried by it, but here is a lengthy $.02 worth.
When I was in college, I worked with a teacher, who was expanding into the hypo-thearapy. I had gone to him to improve memory and had previous experience with self-hypnotic techniques (smoking).
Later in life I became friends with a psyic, he too had gone to a hypnotist to quit smoking. He also raved about his experience with past life regression. I don't particularly believe in reincarnation but the use of hypnosis in this way, did stimulate my interest in the subject.
Being close friends he had allowed me to listen to his sessions & in his regressions had entered into several past lives. In discussions with family I had talked about his experiences and questioned the validity of his regression into another life. When I visited my sister, she had arranged with a local practictionor for my own regression session.
My experience was neither as deep nor conclusive rather added a perplexing aspect. During the session,he became agitated when he gave me the suggestion that I would look back upon my past lives. Percieving the time line with my past lives shining like light of candles for each life. Instead of a long line of lifes stretching into the past, I viewed a long line of time with relatively few lights. In fact, an area of flux representing the time between ages divided the lights into roughly equal portions.
While I tend not to belief in reincernation, I tend toward KrazyGamer view
but the relatively few 'past' lifes tends to contradict that point of view.
) is in that half of the brain.
