What to prefer? Selfmeditation or being led?

I am not so experienced within this field and would just like to ask what you think gives best results?
(By led I mean by doctor or someone else hypnotizing you)

Thank you :)

PS - someone who is an expert in self meditation - any advice you would (please) like to share with you?

I’ve tried 3 regression sessions with a Brian Weiss-trained therapist, and listened to the Brian Weiss regression on YouTube many times - I prefer YouTube and self regression. Something about having to talk and give replies to the therapist took me out of it. I felt I got better results when I could just experience it. That being said, I also fell asleep a lot while listening to the YouTube audio.

No objection to a professional regression, but I've never had any luck being hypnotized. With self meditation I can take as long as I need and it doesn't require me to wear pants.

That made me laugh. :D
 
I prefer self too. It makes me feel pressurized when someone is helping me. I feel like I have to give results and I don’t want to let him down lol but that is just me. I am sure for some people it can be more helpful.
 
Self guided unless the person guiding me is my husband. He’s able to deepen my trance more than I can do alone, and I don’t mind telling him to shut up... so yes, either someone trusted or alone. I tried with a stranger and it felt like an invasion of privacy, a skin crawling feeling that did not feel like my usual memories of Terry at all. But then I think it depends on the skill and presence of the hypnotist.
 
Me too, self guided was way more successfull. The only time I was at a regressionists place - almost 15 years ago - it felt like I had to make something up in order to not let her down or let myself down - thinking about the waste of money and time. Probably real hypnosis would have been more successful? I don't know.
 
I went to a hypnotist once and it did not work. After a few minutes I had the impression that something was crawling on my head (perhaps was it not an impression) - I could not let go and immerse myself into that semi-conscious state that I suppose one must reach to start "seeing" something. I was trying very hard and becoming frustrated that my efforts were fruitless and that I was wasting my time and money, and I finally ended up imagining a story that had nothing to do with a PL. I also tried regression sessions on youtube with the same negative result. I was unable to relax and concentrate as I should, and I almost fell asleep on a few occasions. Eventually, I decided to consult a medium who told me about 10 PL (over three sessions). I was just listening and she was repeating what the guides were telling her. A lot of what she said about who I was made sense to me. It was plausible, I could see clear connections with my current life. She told me about four lives that mattered the most to who I am today. The others, she said, have little in common. It all sounded true. But was it? I don't know. I have no flashes, dreams, etc. No verification means. Perhaps should I be hypnotized to the point of losing conscience. My mind seems to be resisting and perhaps should this resistance be broken. What do you think?
 
The way I use these words, meditation and hypnosis are not the same.

In my opinion, and experience, in both cases one should be his own facilitator. When done by a facilitator, he inherently influences the subject telepathically, excepting when both the subject and the facilitator take special measure of protection. Even then ...

I was like that for most of my life. For me, it started after meeting people from past lives. Fragments, flashes, emotions, dreams, all usually very short. I only pursued clues when I repeatedly saw scenes from the same life at different stages. Like being a child, growing up, not always in the same clothes etc.
 
Li. La. What have YOU tried so far and how did it feel to you? As someone who has meditated for 30+ years and who has tried many forms of meditation, I will say that the type of meditation I prefer varies moment to moment. So, it is important to pay attention to what resonates with you and what does not. For instance, what music calms you? Does a particular person's tone of voice soothe you? Does it freak you out to be in total silence or a deprivation chamber? It is not a one-and-done experience. It is a practice and a process. One to be honored. The rewards are worth it. Also meditation IS different from hypnotherapy/regression therapy. In fact, it is a wonderful foundation to prepare for both. Keep us posted on what YOU discover. Thanks for be open to share your question.

Fireflydancing, thank you. How is it that you started meeting people from past lives? (Apologies if I am making you repeat what you've probably already explained elsewhere).
 
Somehow, I've met lots of them. I guess we all do, even without knowing. I've had a handful of people that said: I don't believe in reincarnation but I am sure we both met in a former life 😂
The instant bond and trust are the first indications. When I was younger, I never went further than experiencing instant strong bonds (mutual of course, and not necessarily romantic ones).
I think it started more or less 10 years ago when I started to see extra information. Short pieces of information, like short flashes of scenes but with a lot of indirect information at the same time. Through the years, it became more frequent, and I started to experiment with guided meditations from Youtube as well. This works, but not always, and when it does, there is usually a trigger (person) that facilitates the process. Without triggers, I usually fall asleep during the guided meditation or I experience nothing at all.

The skeptical side of me tells me that the "instant bond and trust" one feels with certain persons is probably more a matter of shared chemistry and being on the same wave-lengths (whatever that means) than a subconscious reminiscence or indicator of a common story during a PL. Equally troubling is the feeling of deja-vu, which is not a supranatural phenomenon but is apparently caused by dysfunctional connections between the parts of the brain that play a role in memory recollection and familiarity.
